It's a VC fan club, your go-to spot to simp for billionaires. Bad enough! But there's also Y Combinator's stochastic terrorist, cryptofascist, christofascist CEO Garry Tan.

Two economists were strolling along and the younger noticing a twenty laying on the path, and starts to pick it up. The elder advises him to not bother, if it were a real someone would have already taken it.
I always heard that "touching Social Security was the third rail of politics". then why is #Musk
& #DOGE not being electrocuted?
I think part of it is how cuts are started, then stopped after a backlash, so people think the problem has been fixed. But it just let's them adapt their approach.
If I called my MAGA Rep to complain they could say, "Your Social Security benefits won't be cut." (What is not said is "yet." or never)
So we need to keep pressuring them.

Halyna Dovhopola turns 70, imprisoned in russia for remaining true to #Ukraine in occupied #Crimea
It is very likely that russia’s FSB came for Halyna because she had never concealed her opposition to russia’s invasion of Crimea
russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory violates international law, but it's not just about land, it's also about people.
That is why Ukraine is fighting for freedom, justice and sovereignty.

Then you can say "I told you so" 🤷🏼♀️

Then they'll either respect my opinion or be my future ex 💁🏼♀️

Agreed. I visually read it as the members of the group chat, most emphatically not the soldiers on the ground, dressed up to cosplay at being soldiers, but still scared, hence clowns. And the reporter invited to the "classified" chat.
Poking fun at the chatters, for not noticing the odd man out in the group.
