    Musk […] dismissed the backlash, saying, “Frankly they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is soo tired.”

    Someone end this man plz

    Bravissimo! We Germans should chuck a burned “Leon Hitler” effigy in front of Hitler’s bunker in Berlin.

    🎶

    Una mattina mi sono alzato

    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

    Una mattina mi sono alzato

    E ho trovato l’invasor

    O partigiano, portami via

    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

    O partigiano, portami via

    Ché mi sento di morir

    E se io muoio da partigiano

    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

    E se io muoio da partigiano

    Tu mi devi seppellir

    E seppellire lassù in montagna

    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao

    E seppellire lassù in montagna

    Sotto l’ombra di un bel fior

    Tutte le genti che passeranno

    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

    E le genti che passeranno

    Mi diranno: “Che bel fior”

    E questo è il fiore del partigiano

    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

    Questo è il fiore del partigiano

    Morto per la libertà

    E questo è il fiore del partigiano

    Morto per la libertà

    I really needed a sequel of Italians vs. Billionaires

        Well, there are counterexamples. Oswald Mosley just kind of rotted in jail until everyone forgot about him, IIRC.

    My great grandfather’s buddy took the Mussolini corpse photos while they walked through and sold them to Time magazine, it’s sort of a 6 degrees of separation thing but still a fun fact

      I’m down! Apparently I’m one of 2 million descendants of john howland.

      Didn’t learn of this until I stopped being an arborist.

      These things are fun and worth hearing about.

        My understanding is that john fell off the mayflower and caught a rope, which saved him. Sounds like catching that rope wasn’t likely

    Now I’m a peaceful person, but I can’t deny there’s a slightly disappointing turn a few words into that headline.

    Minor (but annoying) point:

    …crafted from a garbage-filled sack with a print out of Musk’s face affixed…

    It’s clearly not a “garbage sack”. It has arms and legs, ffs. Hasn’t the author or editor ever heard of disposable coveralls?

    Like I said, a minor point. Please carry on.

    It’s somewhat of a shame that they didn’t keep that Esso as a monument. That piece of land now harbours a McDonalds, which strikes me as deeply ironic.
