Wrote some irate thoughts on Musk and Trump, for The Atlantic.

"This entire incident is terrifically stupid. The story revolves around the whims of two wealthy and self-involved men who enjoy nothing more than public attention. It is an enormous waste of everyone’s time, and I resent having to think about it."

@qjurecic nice to see Mastodon has the reader view!!!
@qjurecic Perfect summation! Why are millions of people absorbed with the malicious buffoonery of these two awful men...

@qjurecic

“Their flailing has a tendency to wreck the world that the rest of us live in.”

Couldn’t agree more.

@qjurecic this sums up my thoughts better than I could.
@reitinger @qjurecic The sheer number of person-years wasted thinking about Trump is worse than a thousand people shot on Fifth Avenue.
