With a sort of "Obama awards Obama" post but I'll still take him 100x over Donald Musk.

Don't forget the Obamium either.
Who gives a fuck. Do something with your influence instead of letting Trump fuck people over.
This is the first part of that. The top news media in cable tv, podcasting, and social media are all run as maga propaganda and I think that's a massively underrated reason for Trump's winning. The easiest of these to take down is social media, but it requires all the other news-related celebrities to go somewhere else.

Man's allowed to retire like anyone else. Save the country yourself. When's the last time you went camping or shooting?
Yeah the silence and not seeing ex living Presidents including Bush speak out on Trumps actions is bizarre to say the least.
People with the most capacity of reach dont use it.
Because it’s a game to them all. It’s rich vs poor and Trump’s bad decisions don’t hurt the rich so there’s zero urgency from people like Obama. They’ll still go on their private jet vacation next week regardless.
Dude, fuck off. This is an article about Obama, not Obama saying "hey look at me i joined it." In fact the first items were advocating for the ACA showing how it helped people. Trying to push people to stand up together for the common good.
Do you mean somthing like that when you say "Do something with your influence?"

Ditch X, dump Tesla, and maybe one day... drop Starlink? (Just saying I'm not hearing this boycott)
probably because for most individual consumers it's a choice of last resort. if they had access to usable DSL/cable they'd choose that instead (cheaper, simpler), but have had to turn to starlink to get online where they live.
id be pretty sure that the broadband expansion to rural areas projects in the biden administration was working on will grind to a halt if they havent already.
how maga people watch musk and dismantle public services and give billions of dollars in subsidies to musk's businesses and still think they're fighting for them is just otherworldly levels of cognitive dissonance management
Don’t care. His assistant will be replying anyways.
