South Shore Ukulelians Ukulele group We are a group of friendly and fun ukulele players, who meet once a week for some socializing, drinking and strumming.

The group was started by Bob and Diane Fannan and Jeff and Karen Miner in June of 2013 and we now have over 50 players attending each week. We meet on Wednesdays at the American Legion Hall. It is located on Lake Tahoe Blvd. across the street from Meek's Lumber. We play from 6-8 with a first timer class at 5:30. We have loaner ukuleles and songbooks.

Actor John C. Reilly is pushing back against Elon Musk’s criticism of empathy, arguing that compassion is one of humanity’s greatest strengths, not a weakness.

During an appearance on Ilana Glazer’s podcast, “It’s Open with Ilana Glazer,” Reilly challenged remarks Musk made on Joe Rogan’s podcast in March 2025.

At the time, Musk declared, “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit.” He suggested that although empathy has value, it can be manipulated and used to undermine sound judgment.

Reilly strongly disagreed, questioning why caring about human rights has become a political issue.

“If you stand up for human rights — why is that a right or a left thing?” he said, before adding, “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human, too.”

He then characterized Musk’s message as, “Don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Stick to your agenda and what’s best for you. Don’t start feeling bad for so-and-so, they’re on their own thing — look out for number one.”

But Reilly offered a completely different perspective.

“Empathy is not a trap. Empathy is a superpower,” Reilly said. “It’s what makes human beings exceptional.”

The exchange has gained traction online, reigniting discussion about Musk’s controversial “civilizational s*icidal empathy” rhetoric and whether compassion strengthens society or leaves it vulnerable to exploitation.

Musk has not publicly responded to Reilly’s criticism.
