Congressman Jamie Raskin referred to this very appropriate quote from Thomas Jefferson during a discussion about Elon Musk on tonight’s “Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell.”

“I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and to bid defiance to the laws of their country.” - Thomas Jefferson, from a letter to George Logan, 12 November, 1816.

I want anyone who doesn't know a lot about Warframe (or even anyone who does) to watch three and a half minutes of this video and then tell me what happened in those three and a half minutes.

If you're familiar with Legend of Zelda speedrun glitches, you might have some idea.

There are right wingers on the fediverse??? Where???

Pleroma.

Or, if you ask some Mastodon fundamentalists, everything that isn’t Mastodon or Pixelfed is inherently right-wing.

That’s the meme.

@nomdeb Yeah I told them over and over "This is NOT a government website" but they were like "This is the one our doctor friend told us to use" and would not be dissuaded.

@ra6bit ugh, yeah I know what you mean. Thankfully my current dentist believes me and gives me Bupivaccaine/Marcaine, but for years every time I'd be like "hey, doc, I am resistant to your painkillers, you'll have to give me more" and they're like "pfft, yeah right, okay sure", give me the normal amount, and and drill into me as I scream and WHOOPS we gotta delay further while we wait for another dose of painkillers to kick in. YOU COULD HAVE JUST LISTENED TO ME

❗️The Hill reports 23 US House members, 16 Democrats and 7 Republicans, signed a bipartisan letter urging Trump to push Elon Musk to let Ukraine use Starlink to hunt Russian missile launchers inside Russia. Rep. Joe Wilson said Ukraine must be able to defend itself. #Ukraine

Oh that’s just the surface. First they’ll sell off all their equipment to their douchy frat bros, then lease said equipment back at exorbitant rates. Then they’ll load the company with debt to pay massive bonuses to themselves. Then they’ll blame it on the stewardess.

If you think about it though it all seems fair and just. How dare the hourly wagies want fair pay for honest work!? Peasants just aren’t what they used to be. Fucking capitalism is just tedious…

At this point power and status bores them, they’re at the stage where they have to kill some of the poors for sport and sadistic pleasure to feel something other than disdain for their spouses and children.
