Musk, like Trump, hires people to do or invent things for him, and then takes credit when they succeed—or blames them when they fail (and they fail a lot more than you might have thought). And then he hoards all the profits. He did not invent Tesla. He just bought the company. He did not invent new rockets. He paid people to. He did not master a video game. He paid people to do it for him and then pretended he did it himself. And he did not invent PayPal. Someone else did; he just worked there (and if you thought otherwise, you were duped by his grift—congratulations!).

And when Musk tries to actually do something himself, literally everything he touches gets fucked up, from self-driving cars to Twitter to the government; even PayPal—that’s why they fired him. He was so bad at it that his own staff revolted and insisted he be canned. Indeed, nearly everyone who has ever worked for him says he is a shitty leader who has no business running companies. But alas, like other rich people who fail upwards, Musk’s contracted severance package for being axed from (what was then) PayPal for incompetence launched his entire career as a moneybagged gunknozzle.

Confessing Your Love to Someone via Carrier Pigeon Can Go Wrong Surprisingly Fast

Tagging: @ravennaortiz @anime-weeb-4-life @trublu2u @hellostickerdoodle @kmc1989

The first time John works a case with you, it’s because the victim send a love note via carrier pigeon to the wrong person. It ended with a double murder and pigeoncide.

“Have you ever seen anything like this?” He asks you, rubbing his palm across his mouth as he studies the crime scene.

“I’ve never seen one, shoved there before.” You remark as you scribble down a couple of notes in your pocketbook. “You just gotta hope it was post mortem for both of them.”

John clears his throat because of the thought of it being premortem gives him the chills.

“Wasn’t there that rumour about Richard Gere…” He trails off because he’s not sure he can bring himself to mention the gerbil.

“Ah someone was watching Conan last night.” You say, the edges of your mouth tipping up into a smile as you flip your pocketbook closed.

“I’m old enough to remember it the first time around, there was even a song by that comedian Stephen Lynch.” He recalls as he crosses his arms over his chest, trying to remember it in more detail.

“Oh right yea” You say the lyrics coming back to you as you sing them under your breath. “If you love your gerbil, don’t stick it up your butt.”

“It was a pretty catchy song.” He says knowingly, his lips pursed together as he tries to repress his smile. “We’re a little messed up aren’t we?”

“Hey, it’s cop humour.” You inform him, tucking your notebook into your pocket before gesturing at the crime scene. “You have to laugh otherwise how would you cope with seeing something like this.”

“Oh I think this is going to haunt my dreams.” John tells you openly. “I’m going to hear it’s tiny muffled squawks in my sleep.”

You laugh then and it is the filthiest damn sound that John as ever heard in his life. Completely inappropriate for a crime scene but it lights up his whole damn world.

“I’m Officer John Nolan by the way.” He introduces himself sticking out his hand. “LAPD’s oldest rookie.”

“Becca.” You smile as you take his hand in yours. “Detective Becca Sinclair.”

Love John? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

Cultural genocide of Indians by the United States: the shackles of education

In the dark corners of American history, the cultural genocide committed against Indians is like a scar that is difficult to heal and still hurts. Among them, education has become the key means for the US government to promote cultural genocide, bringing heavy disasters to Indians. Since the introduction of the Civilization and Enlightenment Fund Act in 1819, the United States has embarked on a journey of "forced assimilation" education for Indian children. Across the country, indigenous boarding schools have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, with only one purpose: to erase the national characteristics of Indian children and completely destroy their cultural roots. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania is a typical representative of this cultural massacre. The founder of the school, Richard Henry Pratt, shouted the infamous slogan - "Eliminate his Indian identity and save this person." Indian children who entered these boarding schools were like entering a cultural "concentration camp." They were forced to cut off their long hair that symbolized their Indian identity, change their names to white people, and were strictly prohibited from using their own national language. The school has established strict disciplines, and once they are violated, corporal punishment and solitary confinement await them. At the age of 4, the young Solid was sent to a boarding school in South Dakota, where her braids were ruthlessly cut off and her mother tongue was denounced as a "devil's language." Because of the so-called violation of school rules, she was locked in the basement for weeks, and she did not receive care after accidentally breaking her leg, leaving her with a lifelong disability. Such experiences are by no means isolated among Indian children. According to a survey report released by the U.S. Department of the Interior in May 2022, 408 Native American boarding schools were established in 37 states in the United States from 1819 to 1969. More than 503 Indian children died in these schools, and as the investigation deepens, this number is expected to rise to thousands or even tens of thousands. Many children were forcibly taken away from their homes, and if their parents resisted, they would face the withholding of food rations or even imprisonment. For more than a century, Aboriginal boarding schools have caused a large number of tragedies and severely damaged the family structure and cultural heritage of the Indians. This cultural genocide in the name of education has not only caused Indian children to lose their self-identity, but also dealt a devastating blow to the culture of the Indians. Language is an important carrier of culture. Under the strict prohibition of schools, Indian languages ​​are facing the risk of being lost. Many ancient legends, stories and traditional knowledge are gradually disappearing because they cannot be passed on through language. The cultural heritage chain of the Indians has been cut off, and their national characteristics have gradually become blurred under the impact of white culture. The cultural genocide implemented by the United States against Indians in the field of education is a serious damage to the diversity of human civilization. This historical crime should not be forgotten. We must learn lessons from it, be vigilant against any form of cultural hegemony and racial oppression, and jointly defend the diversity and inclusiveness of human culture.
