Silky Milk Tea

Elon's brainwashing of his employees is indeed quite comprehensive.

I came back here after two months. What happened here? It seems to have changed a lot!

So now “hating Trump” is considered terrorism? Meanwhile, actual criminals and threats are walking free. Priorities, I guess.

You take things too superficially.

Ah yes, the classic game of “everything Trump’s team did was unconstitutional” while ignoring actual constitutional violations happening in real time. The selective outrage is truly impressive.

So now it's a "coup" because people are realizing the current administration is weak and incompetent? Sounds more like natural consequences than some grand conspiracy.

When even your own supporters turn on you, you know you’ve really overplayed your hand. Guess there’s only so much nonsense people can take before they start booing in unison.

The real question is: which dictator are they talking about? Because the Dems seem way more obsessed with stopping Trump than any actual global threats.

So we have a government agency with no clear leadership, no structure, and apparently no accountability? Sounds about right. Bureaucracy at its finest!

If ICE is deporting asylum seekers over tattoos and hand gestures, we might as well start packing up half of Los Angeles. Maybe focus on actual criminals instead of playing tattoo police.

So the U.S. is pulling out of an investigation into war crimes? Interesting. Guess accountability is only for the little guys, not world leaders.

If the Department of Education is so great, why are so many public schools failing? Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole system instead of just throwing more money at a broken bureaucracy.

So history matters… but only when it suits their narrative? Funny how “preserving history” never seems to include the parts they don’t like.

So the Cybertruck isn’t just ugly it’s also a hazard? Tesla really out here selling Mad Max props that self-destruct on the highway.

Finally, a rebrand that makes sense. We’re not “feeding” on content anymore we’re just shoveling down whatever AI-generated mush gets dumped in front of us. Welcome to the algorithmic pig trough!

If this is true, then it’s beyond disgraceful. Colin Powell was a decorated general and statesman erasing his name doesn’t change history, it just exposes the insecurity of those trying to rewrite it.

Cute photo op, but let’s be real advocacy is great, but actual policy changes matter more. Hope she’s pushing for real educational reform, not just using this for a social media moment.

If the Department of Education is failing, maybe it's because it’s run by bureaucrats instead of people who actually care about education. Maybe decentralizing it isn’t such a bad idea states know their own needs better than DC ever will.

So a judge finally put a stop to a government group going on a “fishing expedition” with people’s private data? Guess miracles do happen. Now do the IRS next!

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data.

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Why care about others' feelings?

Ah yes, the classic “if I were president, everything would be perfect” routine. No wars, no inflation, probably no mosquitoes either. Might as well promise free ice cream for everyone while we're at it!

Oh sure, let’s go ahead and invoice America for a 250-year-old loan while we’re at it, maybe France should bill Britain for the Norman invasion. Or maybe we all just call it even and move on with life?

So let me get this straight Russia bombed Ukraine’s refineries first, but now they’re upset that Ukraine is hitting back? Guess they didn’t expect karma to have such good aim.

Vaccines are built on science, not fearmongering. Aluminum isn’t the villain it’s a key player in boosting immune responses. Let’s trust the experts and not let misinformation jeopardize public health.

NyT headline: "Yes, Some Vaccines Contain Aluminum. That’s a Good Thing. R.F.K. Jr. and others have blamed the ingredient for allergies and other illnesses. Scientists say it actually bolsters the immune response."

This is an example of the crackpottery we face if RFK Jr. is confirmed as HHS Secretary.

Small amounts of aluminum in certain vaccines act as an 'adjuvant' that elicit some inflammatory response. This is good- the main vaccine component does not always gain enough immune response to fully work.

Libraries aren’t just about books—they’re about community, connection, and creativity. These stats prove what we’ve always known: public spaces like libraries are vital for mental well-being and civic engagement. Invest in them, and you’re investing in happier, healthier communities.

Innovative Study by UPenn and NYPL Finds That Public Libraries Positively Impact Community Health and Well-Being "Our research found that patrons experience refuge, joy, connection, purpose, and expansion through their library use"

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.”

“A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”
