An optimist invents the airplane. A pessimist invents the parachute.

If course it’s unsurprising. The man has a very clear pattern of surrounding himself with people who he believes will do and think exactly the way he wants, and then cutting ties with them anytime they deviate from his expectations.

Federal employee unions are well connected, have good lawyers and already fucking pissed. This is gonna be a fight.

They can’t even look him in the eye. They know he’s telling the truth and they’re full of shit.

100% this kind of techbro need to be cool and liked is one of the main drivers behind why our nation is fucked right now. Zuck, Musk and all of the other guys flipped right when people called them out on legitimate bullshit because they could find easy validation among the MAGA rubes, MRA choads, and conspiracy nutters. They sold out their platforms and the country for a tiny dose of external validation. Fragile little man-children.

I mean, you couldn’t get him to look any more lobotomized if you tried. 10/10.

Yup. People seem to still seem to believe that public opinion will somehow stop these assholes. It won’t, it’ll just get them to sic their fan boys on whatever source is reporting that opinion and push the propaganda more.

It’s a feature, not a bug. Part of the plan all along. If it weren’t for the charges getting dropped, I’d say it’s the whole plan.

Yup.

One headline after another about how much trouble Trump was getting himself into by pulling stunts like this, and little to no consequences for it.

I got a sneaky suspicion that the “Liberal Media” actually loves him. They can make millions on low effort rage bait headlines for the next four years.

That and self-promotion. Never forget that people like him have a pathological need for attention. It’s pure speculation, but I can imagine that when buying Tesla and promoting it as his own, he expected that he’d be hailed as a savior by those concerned about the climate. When the cracks started to show and the people began to rightfully critize him, he pivoted to another group of rabid fan boys. I would hazard a guess that as long as he gets a steady supply of money and praise, he doesn’t really care about any of the issues he’s currently championing, he just needs someone to make him feel popular. You’d almost pity him, except for the fact that he’s willing to fuck over millions just to feel better about himself… so fuck Musk.

Absolutely. Musk and RFK look uncomfortable, Junior barely knows where he is as usual, and Trump looks relaxed and pleased. You know exactly who’s idea this was.

It’s once again time for me to chime in and recommend “Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman. The man was a prophet.

Kilts are the answer.

Think of what a power move it would be to stand there flexing your bare calves as you nail a presentation to the board on a Thursday afternoon.

More seriously, they can look good dressed up or down, and are super comfy.

I’ve worn a kilt to participate in Scottish heritage festivals and the Highland Games. It’s a far, far better garment than pants or shorts in hot weather and super comfy in general. Pants are great, but for just hanging around and casual wear kilts are amazing.

Utilikilts (the ones with pockets) are awesome, but with a traditional kilt you can accesorize with a nice belt and sporran (the little pouch in front).

All in all, I’d be really happy to see more kilts and similar garments in day to day men’s fashion.
