Now I understand. Also I looked up the Mayo joke and found the explanations for that here: https://old.reddit.com/r/amcstock/comments/pek85m/what_is_the_ken_griffinmayo_backstory/

I didn’t know the lore behind him because I just found out about him because I was reviewing the top donor list on open secrets, I searched his name and found that article.

There are some lessons here in the article that I think other politicians can learn from. We’re often baffled why some people like Trump so much. It explains how he’s able (from the perspective of a supporter) feel raw, authentic and validate their concerns.

Of course we don’t like him because we study his actions, not his words and know that the “solutions” he’s proposing aren’t going to help his supporters or help anyone except perhaps the richest of the richest or rather the very wealth people within his inner circle and even then it seems like he’s not helping the all of the rich or anybody because he’s hurting the economy which impacts us all no matter how rich or poor.

So I think the lesson is a politician who could evoke a similar feeling of authenticity without the divisiveness paired with real progressive solutions that will help the average American would do very well in an election and as president.

Let’s make the fallout long outlast his presidency by building a better country, changing the system to better protect peoples rights and ensure this never happens again.

His political contributions are really on brand. He funded election deniers in 2022.

Also I’ve heard Oracle has a bad reputation when it comes to government contracts, very expensive poor quality software ripping off our taxpayers. I think they ought to be blacklisted or at-least require extra review due to their reputation. CUNY paid Oracle over $600 million and look at what that got them: https://pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny-first-computer-system-to-aid.html. To be fair the article does claim that “The project required an expenditure of up to a billion dollars to do it right. CUNY Central offered far less. All but one of the bidders dropped out as a result”. I’m confused why it needs to be so expensive, even $600 million seems like way too much.

Yes, this the truth right here. He’s not really leaving, he’s just going to be running things in the shadows. We must not fall for Musk’s ruse. He’s a huge threat to our national and will be a huge threat until he’s bankrupt or behind bars.

Keep boycotting Tesla, keep boycotting Twitter, keep boycotting Starlink. Keep urging other people to do the same thing.

What a weak man. Shows that when conservatives call people “snowflake”, it’s just projection.

We must increase our pressure against Elon Musk. Until he’s bankrupt or behind bars he’s still a huge threat to our country. Boycott all his companies. Sell your Tesla stock (it’s high right now I can’t predict the future but maybe it’s peaked right now), stop using Twitter if you use it. Contact pension funds and demand they divest from Tesla.

For Starlink If you think it’s the only choice for you maybe if you’re just on the edge of cell phone reception you can use a parabolic antenna to get a reliable signal for 5g internet. This will likely be lower cost than Starlink. OneWeb has a competing service but they don’t sell directly, I’m not sure how you can switch to OneWeb. Project Kuiper just launched their first satellites about a month ago. AST SpaceMobile might be an option too. If those options aren’t available to you I predict there will be more alternatives for Starlink within the coming years.

But Google’s guidance was also telling us that recovery was possible if we just “removed” our “unhelpful” on-page content:

This is very chilling because it means websites will delete content. If the internet archive didn’t grab it in time it means knowledge is gone forever. An algorithm is not going to always be accurate in determining what is helpful.

For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.

I see this article as being step one or maybe I’d say step zero for people. You’re healing from the abuse caused by Trump. I think even if people only did what this article suggested and nothing else it would make a fairly big different, I don’t think it would completely stop him. The advice in the article applies to everyone including those in the media who are enabling Trump.

For those who’s mental health is hurt following these steps will allow them to have more energy and focus for combating Trump.

If you want some actionable items I would suggest helping people boycott the biggest donors to the GOP. Boycott Elon Musk by boycotting Twitter and Boycotting Tesla, this is most important boycott since he was the biggest donor. There are initial signs the boycotts are starting to work, if we keep the pressure up we can defeat the highest donor to the GOP. Then we can move on to other high donors to the GOP such as Uline. I would also recommend in parallel start working towards building more political will for moving away from fossil fuels, since they’re hurting the planet and also because they donate tons of money to the GOP.

The so-called birthrate crisis is manufactured by morons like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk who clearly didn’t pay attention in science class and didn’t learn about logistic population growth https://www.britannica.com/science/population-ecology/Logistic-population-growth and those who see a line going down and assume it will keep going down at the same rate forever.

We’ll defeat them all!

I totally get what you mean! The most important thing is to call, no worry about the words you will use.

Reminds me of this far-right antivaxer who suggested being exposed to a weakened version of the virus to build immunity instead of vaccines.

See some say despising Kid Rock is statutory but I say it’s mandatory.

If for some reason you or anyone you know is still using Twitter now is the time to take advantage of the outage and urge people to leave Twitter permanently. Tell your friends about alternatives to Twitter such as Bluesky and Mastodon.
