Fucking Exhausted

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Oh my god, Jon Stewart. The Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong interview could’ve been so interesting if you could only have stopped interrupting and guessing and SHUT UP.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @allinwithchris.bsky.social some very very bad news

There is no opposition party

Finally good to see elected dems realize they literally have their own skin in the game now

Much of the internet has just broken Much of the internet appears to have broken, with Spotify, Google, Snap and Discord all hit by major issues.

BREAKING | Google, Spotify and other major platforms down in massive internet outage

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

That’s a dumb comment that will only inflate Trump’s ego. He’s bad at this.

Hey @chrislhayes.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com re Padilla - you need to be aware that there is a uniform MAGA response flooding social media about this. This has to be addressed. They’re not ALLOWED to vote for this.

BREAKING: Jacksonville Airport is on fucking fire.

The parking garage is engulfed in flames and sources are pointing at a Tesla explosion as the ignition point.

You can’t make this shit up.

The handoff from Chris Hayes to Jen Psaki is so awkward it’s unbearable. She’s so humorless and stiff and — lame. She needs to go.

Inside Elon Musk’s X Feed: Trumpism, Falsehoods and Lots of Love for Elon Musk The New York Times tracked 1,109 accounts that Mr. Musk follows on X to recreate his news feed.

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck.

So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

Hey @chrislhayes.bsky.social Grok didn’t just “start talking” about white genocide. It’s simple. Someone changed a system prompt, reward tuning, or retrieval layer in Grok. This isn’t mysterious.

The real risk? When AI bias isn’t clumsy and obvious but subtle, trusted, and invisible.

Maddow laughing her way through a story about children being forced to appear in court without attorneys is so jarring

it’s a failing of democracy that everything is always on the table. should we make it illegal to be homeless? should we take away people’s medical care? should we defund education? should we abandon our senior citizens? some questions should be off-limits because they transcend politicization.

Every hundred years we have to get an economic depression, western fascism, and eugenics. I don’t make the rules.

past time for the media figures who make 💰 filling their shows talking about Mahmoud Khalil’s situation to also mention that it was Shai Davidai, David Lederer, and Betar who put them where they are - you can’t just say ICE. specific people gave them names

Wall Street Journal: Musk refers to his offspring as a "legion," a reference to the ancient military units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key to extending the reach of the Roman Empire. During St. Clair's pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. "To reach legion-level before the apocalypse," he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, "we will need to use surrogates." He has recruited potential mothers on his social-media platform X, according to some of the people.

A man in tactical gear and a baseball hat is taking an axe to a car window. He looks like he’s smiling.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/

Thembo:"Remember when the Dems all voted to confirm Marco Rubio and then not a single one ever apologized" R. Souissi quotes this and says "remember when every republican confirmed Marco Rubio and then not a single one ever apologized. See, I can do that too"

Yeah can't see why these situations would be viewed differently

Dang it’s almost like he is the descendant of two generations of men who had households like cults and flourished in an Apartheid state full of paranoia about being outbred by nonwhites

'Pick a name' While Musk posts sometimes dozens of times a day on X about right-wing politics or his companies, among other things on his mind, he often interacts with lesser-known users. He replies to them and sometimes interacts through direct messages, some of whom he eventually solicits to have his babies, according to people who have viewed the messages. Cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong was covering disgraced crypto tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried's downfall when Musk started liking and replying to her posts. Musk's interactions ramped up as Fong posted more political content in support of Trump, and Musk followed her last summer

That sort of attention from Musk on X, where he has 219 million followers, sent droves of followers to Fong, which was a financial boon. More engagement meant more earnings for her as part of a revenue-sharing program for creators on X.

During the height of her interactions with the billionaire owner, Fong earned $21,000 on the platform in a two-week period in November, according to a screenshot she posted. That was about when Musk sent her a direct message asking if she was interested in having his child, according to people familiar with the matter. The two had never met in person. Fong didn't move forward with Musk because she pictured having children in a more traditional nuclear family, but confided to a few friends about the approach-including St. Clair, whom she knew as another conservative social-media figure-and how she worried that turning him down could hurt her earnings. Once Musk learned that Fong disclosed the request to others, he chided her for not using discretion, according to the people, and unfollowed her. That contributed to a fall in her engagement, and her earnings declined.

“That was about when Musk sent her a direct message asking if she was interested in having his child, according to people familiar with the matter.

Great. Other people’s misery should def be used for fundraising.
