I have a reprieve from my family obligations, so I’ll be around. Long story, very boring.

Anyway, I was watching the news with my old man last night and the Trump/Musk drama led ABC Nightly News. I don’t know if anyone under 70 watches that, but from the perspective of someone who wants the average American to have a basic understanding of our common disaster, it was a decent story. It contrasted Elon’s worry about the deficit with the fact that millions will lose their insurance (Medicaid) if the bill goes through. Every second that Elon is on the TV is bad for Trump, so that’s good.

What’s bad about it is that it’s all a bunch of low-grade theater. Elon and Trump were never best buds, they’re not really enemies now, but both of them are acting in what they perceive to be their best interests. Elon’s investors are getting sick of him fucking the dog in DC when his supposed magic touch isn’t being used to guide his companies. Nevermind that the current bad state of his companies is the result of decisions that he made long before he was Dogefather. Tesla is a prime example. Similarly, Trump has been shitting multiple beds in DC, and if he and his minions can make Elon the scapegoat for that, that’s fine with them. Scrapping Elon’s pick for NASA administrator because of the unforgivable sin of donating to Democrats is an example of the meaningless dramatics that characterizes the Trump Administration. Wake me up when someone talks about cancelling the government contracts that line Elon’s pockets. Until then, this is a sideshow.

One of the things Trump and his minions are smart about is generating pointless drama that will lead the news. Mission accomplished in this case.

This isn’t the best recording of a really good song (another example of learning more from a three minute record than I ever learned in school) but it looks like a fun show. One of the weird things about post-COVID is that I really don’t miss going to the movies (I did so for the first time in almost five years a couple of months ago). But as soon as it was safe to go, we saw live music.

Hey M.M. wake up! The kayfabe has escalated and the threat level is past petty and well on its way to flounce! Dotard threatened the government contracts of Elno, who dropped an Epstein on him in return and nowsays he'll decommission his rockets!

Glad I have weed today. And yes tacos are for supper tonight.

Musk is just trying to get some separation from Trump because his activities associated with him have damaged his brand so badly.

We can't lose sight of the implications of his attacks. To get to a balanced budget requires harsh cuts across the board, including Medicare and SS, coupled with big tax increases. He hasn't said a word about the tax cuts in the bill, and the Senate isn't voting for more cuts unless they have a political death wish. So, this is a freebie for Musk and Trump will play along with the theater, at least until it actually imperils the B,BB.

Senator Warren continues to be productive.

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren issued a report Wednesday that found Elon Musk engaged in unethical or “potentially corrupt” behavior each of the 130 days he served as a special government employee in the Donald Trump administration. Warren’s team found more than 100 instances of Musk abusing that role in order to benefit his private interests.

We already knew this was what Ketamine Elon and his puppet Donald Trump were up to. But it’s good to have it laid out with facts and figures."

It’s not even very good manufactured drama, but the media falls for it anyway. They’ve already moved on to the next shiny object… hey look, a new travel ban!

So I will post a New Yorker quote here because nyah nyah nyah I have an attention span:

"He proposed “the liquidation of democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law,” and the eventual transfer of power to a C.E.O.-in-chief (someone like Steve Jobs or Marc Andreessen, he suggested), who would transform the government into “a heavily-armed, ultra-profitable corporation.” This new regime would sell off public schools, destroy universities, abolish the press, and imprison “decivilized populations.” It would also fire civil servants en masse (a policy Moldbug later called RAGE—Retire All Government Employees) and discontinue international relations, including “security guarantees, foreign aid, and mass immigration.”

I especially liked that the "airline pilots" would be an all-powerful world board that decides who gets to be the CEO of each Corporation-State.

That's it in a nutshell.

Our Failed Corporate Media Corpse is, quite frankly, a collective crack head when it comes to the never ending shit storm that surrounds Hair Furor.

Seriously considering using that somehow in my protest signage. Defeat the Crackhead King Collective. I dunno, it needs work but maybe Buttcrackheads will be on it somewhere. Playing around with ideas...
