three person poly relationship made up of two people who are already dating trying to coax someone with horrific self worth issues into a loving relationship. stray cat style
they’re all laying together in bed and the couple are both thinking to themselves like good, he stayed the night to cuddle and talk when we offered, he should know that we genuinely care for him and want this to be more then a handful of one night stands. and the stray cat guy is like wow this sure is nice i think i’m falling in love with them. it’s really too bad that they don’t actually give a fuck and hate me and probably want to kill me with hammers for no reason
it has been like. two days

I’m seeing a lot of people wondering how Elon knew.
Hours before the election was over, Musk was out there on X saying “Men are voting in record numbers” and that he and Trump were going to win because of it.
And I’m seeing people wonder how he knew. Saying it was because he saw some pictures of men in queues at voting site. Stuff like that. And I’m like…
People. For fuck’s sake. I’ve been telling you for years. He knew because they told him.
X is a fascist propaganda and disinformation fountain. But before that, it was also an information collector, and very much still is. Even moreso, now. X – and therefore, Elon – knows your politics real well.
But that’s only part of it.
The X app, like the Twitter app before it, requests location information. Almost everyone who puts it on their phone – their smartphone, with GPS – says sure, clicking through permissions if it’s even asked asked about at all. Sure. Why not.
This mean he knows where you are every minute of every day – at least whenever you have your phone with you – and that includes when you go to a polling place to vote.
Musk knew his fashpilled brosphere was turning out because they all told him where they were by having X on their phones.
Even more than that, if you’ve got X on your phone, and your state does in-person voting, he knows whether you have voted yet, because he knows if you have been to a polling station.
Those locations are public information, and polling results at those stations help confirm or deny X’s knowledge of your politics.
If you haven’t, and your politics are in line with his, I’m sure his algorithm will encourage you to get out there and vote. If you haven’t, and your politics are not in line with his, I’m sure it will discourage or distract you just as quickly.
That’s what his pet AI “Grok” is for, really.
Well, one of the things. That’s why he wants to unleash it on all your data, for “training.” What he’s training it for is to know your individual politics. If you still have an account on November 15th, that’s what’ll happen. He’ll set it off to chew through all your data, so it can encourage – or discourage – you to vote… properly.
According to the Law and Politics of Elon Musk.
And that’s what X is for.
This election showed the billionaires that this will work. I wouldn’t expect Bluesky to remain independent for all that long; at some point in the not too distant future, I’d expect some similarly-minded billionaire to buy it, too, and do the same thing as Elon.
To stop that, Elon’s experiment needed to fail. At the core of everything else, as I have said too goddamn many times to count, that is why Elon’s experiment needed to fail. Because if it doesn’t, it will be repeated.
People did not – adequately – flee X.
The experiment has succeeded.
It will now be run again.
And now advertisers are trying to figure out how to go back to X, the fascist website, because not enough people have left.
Still time to stop that, I'm just saying.

Hey, USAmericans? Wanna save your country? Run For Something!
Trump's tariffs and mass deportations fit together to create something even worse
I think I’ve squared a circle. Doesn’t mean it’s real; just that I’ve found a way to square it.
Let’s say you’re Trump and you’ve promised mass deportations and huge tariffs on China and other countries.
Now, walk with me:
I am not seeing nearly enough cishet men react proactively to this national wave of rape threats.
Right now, these men are testing what they can get away with. They see but don’t care about how women react; if anything, they like the revulsion and anger, and look forward to more of it when they actually start “grabbing women by the pussy.”
But they do want to see how other men will react. They want to know what other men will say or do.
And you need to tell them. Now.
