If I wanted to learn to play piano, I would need to put in a lot of work. Find a used keyboard online or at a secondhand store, watch some YouTube tutorials, and put in lots of time practicing and teaching myself in between work, chores, and other responsibilities.

A billionaire could buy a mansion with a grand piano, have their people take care of moving in furniture and tuning, get someone to hire the world's best teacher, pay them enough that they drop all their other students and move into the mansion, and spend 12 hours a day learning to play piano while doing no other work & being waited on hand and foot. With the enormous hoard of resources at their disposal, they could teach a chimp to play Mozart.

So when Elon Musk fails to be funny, I have to imagine it's pride. He could learn stand up, improv, whatever he wanted. He has the time and resources if it's really that important to him.

But that would mean admitting he is the least important thing in his own life. Anyone else with his resources could do the exact same thing. No talent, no dedication, nothing required from him has a person. He's not a super genius; he's an awkward, immature geek who got incredibly lucky. His position has everything to do with his wealthy parents and him happening to get lucky with PayPal. If he had to do it all over again, he would fail.

He is desperate for something that makes him special that isn't his checkbook, and I think the idea that there isn't anything like that scares him. For the rest of his life, he will be the smallest and least important part of anything he accomplishes.

Because the second you pull that trigger, your life is over. If you don't have an organized movement to back you up (we don't) you're fucked if you start shooting. Anyone who depends on you for care or income or support is fucked. Organizing an antifascist militia in a post-COINTELPRO America is really fucking hard, even in places where the bootlickers are few and the guns are many.

Trump raped kids.

Nothing about the way he has handled the Epstien investigation makes sense UNLESS he raped children.

There is no word in my vocabulary that captures how disgusted I am with Mike Johnson and the rest. They know he's a child fucker. They're not stupid enough to believe otherwise.

Soulless, inhuman, evil pieces of shit. Every bad thing that happens to him for the rest of his life will be less than he deserves.

It's fucking depressing that immigration is only at -5 for him. Masked men abducting people into unmarked cars, taking them God knows where, denying them due process, and sending them to countries they've never been to before (including a torture prison in El Salvador). That should be a bigger deal than the fucking price of eggs!

Self-made millionaires tend to have a few distinct qualities. For one, their relationship with money can differ from that of their friends. They might focus more on long-term financial goals and be more stringent about saving.

When Lane Kawaoka became a millionaire by buying rental properties, he realized his newfound wealth was making him feel lonely. Much of it had to do with differing mindsets.

Ah yes, self-made. Generating money from the aether thru the purchase of real estate. Not hoarding housing and leeching off of the value created by others.

Personally, I don't give a shit if someone came here legally or not. Crossing an imaginary government line on a map somewhere isn't a real crime.

I live in a dangerous house.

The foundation is cracked, and I'm pretty sure we have termites.

But my other half is worried about robbers, so I guess we're reinforcing the locks.

I live in a dangerous house.

The floor is sagging in the kitchen, and I'm pretty sure we have black mold.

But my other half doesn't trust the banks, so I guess we're installing a vault.

I live in a dangerous house.

The roof is missing shingles, and I'm pretty sure we have lead paint.

But my other half thinks the government might collapse, so I guess we're digging a bunker.

I live in a dangerous house.

But thank God, my other half

Is keeping us safe
