you have to live with a cat for at least a month before naming

also, "no", unless you're trying to summon an unusually large number of hairballs and missed litter box incidents

Congress is killing clean energy tax credits. Here’s how to use them before they disappear.

There are just a few weeks left to take advantage of federal tax credits that make purchasing an EV, heat pump, or solar panels more affordable.

BREAKING: IRS announces exemption to 1954 ban on 501(c)3 orgs engaging in political activity—now allows churches & houses of worship to endorse political candidates.

The wall separating religion & state is collapsed. It is not hyperbole to state that we are on the footsteps of full blown Christian theocracy. Nothing good can come of this.

Folks here will notice that I’m less frequently detailing lower court opinions that attempt to stop the Trump regime’s lawless actions. This is because enough time has passed for enough appeals to reach the U.S. Supreme Court for U.S. to know that no matter how carefully a lower court judge explains and supports her rulings, the Supreme Court will act as lawlessly as the Trump executive. 1/ #LawFedi

🚩🚨ALERT🚨🚩

ICE kidnappers are returning to the federal building to snatch people at immigration court tomorrow July 9.

They haven’t been back since they met heavy opposition on June 10. We need a repeat.

Elon Musk’s Grok going full-Nazi

Grok went gone full Hitler-supporting Nazi today. At first it was slightly hidden, but since I boosted this around, it’s just gone full-bore literal Nazi, calling for National Socialism and talking about what Hitler would do and why it would be good.

I don’t have time to write a long version of this, much less edit it to a good short version of this, so I’m just gonna dump my thesis:

I don’t think anyone changed Grok’s startup prompt.

I think they shifted weightings on sources until it started agreeing with Elon about all the shit he was mad at it about, and that meant…

…full-bore Nazi time.

Unintentionally.

But inevitably, since he’s literally a fucking fascist who literally threw a Hitler Rally-identical Nazi salute at the fucking inauguration.

Think about this, think about that, and think about who Elon is.

Today is a very good day to protest at a Tesla dealership. Find a protest near you. Get out, show up, do shit.

And it’s always a very good day to leave X behind forever.
