Hey babe, wake up. A new human-created, extinction-level event just dropped.
Yes, obviously. That's the whole premise of the satire.
Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.
That it could be an incitement to violence is precisely what they will/have argue(d), I would guess.

ARROOOOOOOOOOO
Did a gun company write this? 🤣
It's only a non-justicable political question when Republicans do it. That part is written in invisible ink, which is only visible if you sign your entity's legal name diagonally across the written decision with a red pen.
Yes, he spent the equivalent of ~$105 if you make $100,000/year. If you make $100,000, spending $100 to buy the government? You'd be dumb not to.
It takes a truly bureaucratic mind—someone with a sensibility for relentless, daily tedium—to dismantle bureaucracy.
Democracy, by contrast, is far easier to unravel than state bureaucracy. Bureaucratic systems often outlast governments, as seen with the colonial administrations in Africa and South Asia. Bureaucracy is designed to be "portable" across different regimes and transfers of power.
Elon is likely facing a long and tiresome road ahead—one he’ll almost certainly abandon in some spectacularly embarrassing fashion within two months. Bureaucracy endures because it’s so deeply embedded in the everyday, utterly quotidian and entwined with, like, everything.
The piece brings up an important public health issue, but it leans a little too hard into fear without offering much in the way of solutions or context. Yes, formaldehyde is a known carcinogen, and it's good to highlight its prevalence in both outdoor air and everyday products. But claiming it's the number one cancer-causing chemical out there without comparing it to other pollutants like benzene or radon feels a bit alarmist. Risk depends a lot on exposure levels—someone working in an industrial setting is at much higher risk than someone just sitting on a formaldehyde-emitting couch. Context matters, and without it, the message risks making people feel like they’re doomed no matter what they do.
What’s missing here is actionable advice. If formaldehyde is such a widespread issue, what can we do? Better ventilation, using air purifiers, choosing low-emission furniture—there are steps people can take to lower their exposure, and it would have been helpful for the article to spend more time on those rather than just Trump dooming. Overall, it's good to raise awareness, but without a balanced approach or solutions, it feels like the takeaway is just supposed to be vaguely articulated fear of everything, everywhere.
IN THAT ORDER MFER!!! AROOOOOOO
READ THE ROOM, AMY
