This is what I’m reading right now and I have to say, what Elon did to Twitter sounds a lot like what he is trying to do with our government: slash and burn cogs and wheels, get rid of expertise, poorly thought through initiatives, unprofessional and immature leadership.

How is Twitter doing now

The clock is about 150 years old and is a jumble of big cogs and wheels and at the base, by the pendulum, there's a small box of mystery electronics, frankenstined into the system decades before, and some new mechanisms strapped to the old winding parts, to make it self wind without big weights.

Victorian engineers often treated machinery as both functional and beautiful, designing wheels, cogs and fittings with ornate curves and patterns. This reflected pride in craftsmanship, a belief that industry and art should go hand in hand, and a desire to showcase

He doesn't want critical thinkers or entrepreneurs. He wants cogs in the industrial wheels.

Republicans really do hate us... all of us. They genuinely see 99.9% of us as nothing but cogs in someone's profit wheel and themselves as the energy source to keep those wheels moving. They don't give a fuck about human beings.
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Little cogs are turning in my mind now.

Was this the call for a hit? Was it the motivator for some sharp-shooting lunatic?

Wheels within wheels.

mushrooms are a drug for communing with the ancient Titans, like Soil, Love, Being. LSD is a drug for communing with Angels, with the Cogs and Wheels. Weed is demonic

To save you looking it up: Gears are the wheels themselves, cogs are the teeth / bumps. Also "cogs" sounds pretty ridiculous if you say it aloud more than 5 times. while you're supposed to be working.

Mitch McConnell didn't have majorities either and he managed to screw up a lot of what Obama wanted done in his two terms. You don't need majorities to seriously throw some cogs into the wheels rather than adding gas so they push over your people faster.

Slow burning in the fire, rising murmur breaks the old circle
The wheel slowly turns around

The circle turns around, the changing voices calling.....

I think at least as soon as you start counting things like cogs, wheels for belt drives etc. as "wheels", then doors lose out quickly.

Caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night. Whatever it takes to produce value for shareholders. Cogs. Wheels. Luxury yachts. Golf courses. Famine.
