Rolling Stone gets it
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

"Republicans have made their plan for the new year crystal clear: Ram through massive tax giveaways for the ultra-wealthy and corporations, and pay for them by shaking down programs and agencies that working families rely on. And they’re putting unelected and unaccountable oligarchs — Musk and Ramaswamy — in charge of deciding how much pain Americans will have to tolerate so that the rich can get richer. "

How long before they get a clue from history?
Quote:Ooh, there's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day
The guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise
Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow when they rode by
And we're marching to Bastille Day
The guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago, the mould was cast
For they marched up to Bastille Day
The guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys
Oh!

Hopefully, what will happen to the Musk:
Replaying Zero Dawn made it apparent that the Ted Faro character is highly relatable to Elon.

Another win for the richest man in the world
Quote:Money for 9/11 Health Care Was Dropped from Year-End Spending Bill
The initial legislation included a provision that would have ensured care through about 2040 for victims of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, as well as the police officers, nurses, firefighters and volunteers who inhaled toxic fumes, dust and smoke at ground zero.
Mr. Brosi said more than 130,000 people were still paying the price of that day, suffering respiratory ailments and other illnesses. About 35,000 people in the program have been diagnosed with cancer, he said.
New York lawmakers had unanimously championed the health funding and had cheered its inclusion in a sprawling budget deal, which had been negotiated by Republicans and Democrats including Mr. Johnson and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate majority leader.
Mr. Musk then demanded that Republicans renounce that measure and threatened on social media to “vote out” any member who voted for it. Mr. Trump also made an 11th-hour demand to increase the debt limit.
Democrats said they put the blame for its elimination squarely on Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump. A spokesman for Mr. Schumer said that he and Democrats pushed to include the health fund in the final package, but that Republicans rejected it.
“When Donald Trump asked Republicans to redo their budget, they heartlessly discarded the 9/11 health fund,” Mr. Schumer said.

Elon Musk is attacking Wikipedia after failing to buy it in order to turn it into a Kremlin propaganda machine
Quote:Elon Musk Takes Aim at Wikipedia
Elon Musk has urged his followers not to donate to Wikipedia, which he branded "Wokepedia," until "they restore balance to their editing authority."
Musk shared a post by influential conservative leaning account "Libs of TikTok," adding: "Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority."
In its initial post, the Libs of TikTok account, which is run by activist Chaya Raichik and has over 3.9 million followers, said: "Wikipedia's annual budget report from 2023—2024 reveals that they spent over $50 million of their total $177 million budget on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Stop donating to Wokepedia."
A Wikimedia Foundation spokesperson told Newsweek in an email that the chart's equity section "refers to making it possible for more people to share reliable knowledge on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects."
The email continues: "Wikipedia is built on the premise that it becomes better when more people of different backgrounds—including political persuasions—source, edit, curate and research content. Our equity goal advances that. The 'Safety & Inclusion' goal (now titled 'Safety & Integrity' in our 2024-2025 plan) is focused on ensuring that people are able to freely access and safely contribute to knowledge on Wikipedia in a changing legal and policy environment globally."

Is there anything that isn't woke according to this cum stain?

Time for me to make another small donation to Wikipedia.
