Good Evening  It’s Sunday, December 28, 2025, and unfortunately, I’m going to be leading with news about Elon Musk and 𝕏. For those of you who, like me, have fled that particular cesspool, here’s a quick rundown:

  • Elon and Vivek Ramaswamy have come out in favor of H1B visas, which are used by corporations to lure “high talent” non-US citizens.

  • This has angered a number of “America First” types.

  • Elon responded by removing some of those users’ blue checks.

  • Now everyone is yelling at Elon.

If I may add, I would just like to remind everyone of this perfectly timed Elon Musk quote on his definition of “free speeh:”

“….free speech is when “someone you don’t like is allowed to say something you don’t like”
