"Although some people claimed Musk’s salute wasn’t intended to evoke the Nazis, Bannon didn’t get the benefit of the doubt." Then why does this article give #Bannon the benefit of the doubt? "Apparent Nazi salute"; "gesture"; "salute." Bannon is obviously a #Nazi, and the #media? cowardly, complicit, and also fascistic. I looked up the writer, David Moye, and don't think he should be covering this.

The gesture echoes one Trump ally Elon Musk made just a month earlier.

#Musk would be very unhappy to see this ad, which was accepted and then rejected by the #fascist cowards at #WaPo. Would be a shame if it got a head of steam on social media. #Bezos

If you are able and in need of a service/product offered by one of these companies, consider choosing one of the names on this list, which I know isn't perfect but they have honored their commitment not to support candidates who denied the results of the election.

"[47's] great power is also a rejuvenator & energiser-an antidote to late-life senescence. Power increases testosterone, which in turn boosts dopamine–just like cocaine. This fuels an aggressive, feel-good state of mind, particularly in dominant, amoral personalities such as Trump’s. It also creates a restless, hyperactive state of mind which, when combined w/a feeling of omnipotence, fosters the delusions that you can snap your fingers & sort every problem."

Having learned a little about #CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) -- repeated concussions resulting in #dementia -- I am not a fan of #football anymore (that and the racism et al). I can't watch it anymore but I can read about it and this article about the misogyny at the Super Bowl is an important read.

Why Taylor Swift Getting Booed at the Super Bowl Was Even More Chilling Than You Think

From my seat at Super Bowl LIX, the crowd’s disparate reactions to Swift and Trump felt like a chilling microcosm of our culture.

Is #bluesky freakin' kidding? How coarse, ageist, and utterly offensive. Can you do better than this, #JayGraber?

"If we don’t resign, remote workers have been told they need to move to work in one of 9 cities by March 3, & we haven’t been told if we get to pick from among the (or if we will randomly be assigned to a city in which we don’t live or have any connections. My bosses, & my bosses’ bosses, don’t have answers to any of our questions. Nobody knows who is in charge, though the leadership level of our parking garage is suddenly filled w/Teslas."

The beauty & clarity of righteous resistance: "#Medical journals, including The #BMJ, do not retract published articles on demand. We will not retract published articles on request by an author on the basis that they contain so-called banned words. Retraction occurs in circumstances where clear evidence exists of major errors, data fabrication, or falsification that compromise the reliability of the research findings. It is not a matter of author request." https://www.bmj.com/content/388/bmj.r253

The righteous #LetitiaJames, NY AG told hospitals "they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments." I hope this means that NY Langone Health will either get sued for denying on 2.2.25 gender-affirming care to 2 12 year-olds or will reverse their loathsome decision.
