  3. When he took the stage in downtown Eau Claire, Wis., on Tuesday night to rev up Democrats ahead of a critical State Supreme Court race,
    Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said he didn’t think name-calling would help things.

    Then he called #Elon #Musk a “#dipshit” and, later, a “South African #nepo #baby” with the power to cut government programs.
    The crowd roared.

    Mr. Walz, his party’s nominee for vice president last year, is one of several Democrats who have referred to Mr. Musk’s immigrant background as they ramp up attacks on the billionaire’s powerful role in the Trump administration.

    At times, their language, casting Mr. Musk as a foreign outsider, has echoed aspects of President Trump’s own xenophobic insults of his political foes
    — although Mr. Trump’s remarks were typically directed toward elected officials of color, not white billionaires.

    At a news conference last month, Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio said she wondered,
    “Which country is he loyal to? South Africa, Canada, or the United States?”

    Representative Nydia Velázquez of New York declared Mr. Musk should “go back to South Africa” at a recent protest.

    At a different protest, Representative Don Beyer of Virginia said, “We’re going to send Elon back to South Africa.”

    Mr. Musk was born in South Africa in 1971, moved to Canada in 1989 and then to the United States during college.
    He obtained Canadian citizenship just before moving there and became a naturalized United States citizen in 2002, according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson.

    Mr. Walz made his remarks at a town-hall-style event that coincided with the first day of early voting for a State Supreme Court race in #Wisconsin.

    That election, which will be held on April 1, pits a liberal candidate against a conservative Trump ally who has drawn more than $13 million in backing from Mr. Musk.

    Wisconsin Democrats have seized on those contributions to cast Mr. Musk as the election’s main villain

  5. De 21-jarige artiest Sem van Dijk - zoon van BN’ers Wendy van Dijk en Xander de Buisonjé - wil laten zien dat het hebben van bekende ouders niet alleen voordelen met zich meebrengt. Maar levert de bekendheid van zijn ouders hem niet ook veel op?

  7. ⬆️ @tristansnell

    >> Critical part of Trump judgment that’s getting overlooked: He’s now barred from getting any loans from any bank licensed in NY for 3 years. And most large banks, in US or anywhere, need NY license to have access to capital. Trump will have a LOT of trouble borrowing more cash

    He might still be able to tap into the $2B that #BoneSaw gave to his #Nepo son-in-law, as well as other possible foreign sources

  8. @freezr Scambio di favori mi pare fantapolitica :-) Tutto è possibile, per carità, ma francamente penso più che #Nepo sia andato completamente nel pallone alla fine, è una cosa tra l'altro che gli è successa tante volte in carriera: anche con #Carlsen nel precedente match per il titolo ci fu una partita dove praticamente lasciò quasi un pezzo in presa, che a certi livelli è una roba a dir poco imbarazzante. Poi tutto è possibile, chissà.

  9. It must hurt to be #2... Magnus remains #1 from a rating perspective. The world champ, #DingLiren, has the 3rd highest rating. Hopefully #Nepo doesn't give up, and gets even more motivated to go after the highest rating...

  11. ♟️ Today, #Nepo has decided on a wardrobe change. No more pink shirts.

  13. And today in #chess #gossip and #marujeo, Andrei Filatov, President of the Russian Chess Federation, has said that #Nepo looks like *checks notes* "a monkey with a hand grenade".

    It's not quite clear whether Filatov is reacting to the declarations against the invasion of Ukraine Nepo made for El País, or whether he's commenting on his game play.

    Whatever the case, Filatov has shown himself to be what in Spain we call a first class bocachancla.

    I'd suggest hand grenade on e1.

    ♟️ 🙉 💥 👑

  15. If #Ding wins the #worldchesschampionship without passing #Nepo’s rating, and #Carlsen retains his ELO, will that make #Nepo the 3rd best #chess player in spite of having the 2nd highest rating? 🙃

  17. #Ding’s finish of #Nepo in game 6 has made #chess history.

    It doesn’t matter who you support but this game was simply epic. #NepoDing

  19. ♟️ Well, to put it all under a more positive light, we could say that #Ding took the second place, while #Nepo ended up penultimate. 😂

  26. Another thought on the #nepobabies issue. Does it only apply to Hollywood? How about the music business? Should folks like Ziggy Marley, Jakob Dylan or Derek Trucks have their success questioned because of the musical success of their parents? Or is the music business different from the movies? And what about theater actors? I’m not sure. #nepo #nepotism #hollywood #music

  27. I’m seeing interesting parallel tracks developing. The “nepo babies” are being disparaged in the entertainment industry. The Supreme Court is (probably) about to end affirmative action in college admissions. But - when schools are challenged over “legacy”, i.e. nepo admissions, I bet SCOTUS will say they are allowable. Nepotism may be bad in entertainment but good for the rich. #nepotism #affirmativeaction #nepo #scotus #injustice

  28. Seit 2013 ist Magnus Carlsen Schach-Weltmeister und die unbestrittene Nummer eins. In Dubai spielt er in den nächsten drei Wochen gegen den Russen Jan Nepomniachtchi - ein gefährlicher Gegner für den Dauertitelträger.
