  3. Dan Rather:

    >> Is Trump Really Calling the Shots?

    open.substack.com/pub/steady/p

    "Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …_"

    So, just who is calling the shots/pulling the strings? ( #Elon? #Putin ? #Project2025 ? #Brainspurs on steroids?)

    A fair and important question.

    Anyone remember long ago - in the days before #MuskVirus - when Sir "danced" with air?

    Two legendary Lords of #disinformation, #grandiosity, #narcissism & #immunity

    No problem taking on a #TrumpVirus position, heading a department of government tasked to work for We the People. (Guessing, maybe treasury? State?)

    In his "spare time" of course ...

  6. Cleaning off my desktop... One more bit about #ElonMusk

    A Book Review:

    >>> Empathy Is Not an Asset slate.com/culture/2023/09/elon

    > "Elon Musk doesn’t tell us much about Elon Musk, but it just might tell you plenty about your next boss."

    Eh?

    This tracks with the buzz I've seen, interviews with the authors, and comments about this almost breathless "excuse" for bad behavior, and elevation to near-sainthood of Lord #MuskVirus of #Muskville.

    As Alex Wagner (MSNBC) aptly described, Musk is in fact a "Free speech occasionalist". 🎯

    Quite so, 'pretty flowers' in the form of some smart, 'woke', non-#TrumpVirus believers, advocates for #truth, etc, are still 'there', in relatively undisturbed enclaves of longtime follwers/followees...

    Increasing likelihood of trolls reacting to public posts, and threats of dis-allowing blocking.
    Plus the #MuskVirus - endorsed hate and #disinformation.

    Hey... #IIWII

  12. " Musk says he can't get fair trial in California, wants Texas 🤠 "

    abcnews.go.com/Business/wireSt

    #MuskVirus feels his *self-made* negative publicity might hurt a fair trial.

    So how long should #justice wait for signs of improvement in the public's attitude towards him, writ large or in #Muskville / #Twitterworld.

    During our lifetimes? His lifetime? And why Texas? Land of anti-wokism (i.e., anti #truth & #education) ✓ PLUS, home of book banning, things like facts....science ... history...👍
