Elon Musk allegedly took large amounts of drugs including ketamine while advising Trump – report Doge head was at times dosing himself daily, along with ecstasy and psychedelic mushroom use, according to NYT

I'll admit it, maybe I was wrong, maybe he is a genius. I mean, I smoke a spliff and can barely get my shoes on, this guy is off his tits on everything still able to (more or less) care for his small child while managing (more or less) a government department.

Presumably by 'fighting for the rights of everyman' they are excluding undocumented, trans, and people who think genocide is wrong. And by fighting for your life they mean complaining about 'how it isn't like it used to be' while watching fox news. Still, peppy tune. 😂

Tangentially related, I am working with a Norwegian fella who was telling me about 'Fredags Taco' or Taco Friday which is a big thing there.

We should probably speak Welsh too to be fair.

Seems reasonable to get a Nona or two to judge the food, for the bigotry that might be harder, I mean what even is authentic bigotry any more?

It'd be interesting to have a US Southern BBQ vs South African Braai to see who can win in terms of bigotry and BBQing. Not sure how the scoring would exactly but I am sure it could be worked out.

"Cancel culture is wrong and is an example of how the left are trying to stifle free speech" say the people calling on Kneecap to be cancelled for saying stuff they don't like.
