Hey Pablo, don't you read your own Tweets? You've been getting played by the rich private owner of his so-called "public town square"! Well, what did you expect...? It's what billionaires do, isn't it? But... but... Pah!

The 3-hour-and-45-minute “Musk” (plus a 10-minute intermission) hits theaters on Oct. 16, but it’s already causing a stir. The documentary paints Elon Musk as an emotionally unstable grifter with more power and influence than perhaps any other human. wapo.st/4cLtLzU

‘Musk’ film is almost four hours long, engrossing and terrifying. What to know.

The documentary paints the tech trillionaire as a power-hungry megalomaniacal conman with a god complex. Musk accuses filmmaker Alex Gibney of compiling a "hit list" against him.

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too. A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.

"The majority opinion [in Dobbs] cites historical research that has been thoroughly discredited by historians: work that misreads medieval and early modern cases of abortion and shows a total ignorance of its wider context." theguardian.com/news/2026/ju…

The long read: The abortion debate – the language of life, choice and rights – severs women, and their pain, from history. I don’t want to forget my abortion and I don’t want to forget theirs

National Park Service employees and contractors to trying hard to clean the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. So far the algae seems to be winning. As for the American flag blue paint, it’s starting to peel from the bottom of the pool — a short-lived $14 million paint job.
