Yeah Bush had a lot of Boris Johnson energy.

They're jangling their keys in front of the Democrats now to:

• hedge their bets in case of Trump unpopularity and a midterm loss and
• preclude any anti-corportist reform in that party after their blowout loss

They will edit Google Maps to show Canada and Greenland as part of the US, and Ukraine as part of Russia.

Historically Tesla's security is as bad as DOGE's. They got hacked a while back because they had an unsecured kubernetes control plane exposed to the internet. Apparently being owned by a [edit: seagull managing] drug addict isn't good for opsec.

EDIT: I incorrectly used a medical term to describe Elon's management style. Sorry everyone.

Wait till Elon finds out pardons don't work in Canada.

r/Conservative are like the lambs from Animal Farm.

Except they aren’t trash, they’re better than Teslas that’s for sure.

It's possible to be trash and also better than Tesla...

Don't worry Tesla diamond hands: Trump will announce a "Strategic TSLA reserve buying scheme."

Also known as the Kamala Harris strategy: punch left and hug a war criminal.

Too many villains in our society, not enough heros.

Unironically one of the most surprising thing about the current crop of techbros is how anti-intellectual they are. Back in the day Paul Graham published a smarmy essay about how you shouldn't have possessions except books. Nowadays, I see so many techbros saying "I hate books" and "I never read."

It's weird to have your self identity be both I'm smarter than everyone else and also I don't read. I really am baffled at how they square that circle.

When I was a kid there was a cartoon called Captain Planet.

The bad guys would build these factories that didn't seem to produce anything but pollution. Like, they would take in trees and sea creatures or whatever, and the only thing that would come out is smog and green water. It was very on-the-nose.

Bitcoin is a pollution factory.

the issue here is

The issue is Mozilla's McKinsey CEO has decided to break the promise not to sell personal data.

If Firefox disappears. Mozilla isn't Firefox, it's the organization staffed with ad-tech and McKinsey ghouls and paid by Google to kill Firefox.

The equally hilarious thing is that currently they have the "never will" promise in the same codebase as the "definitely will" gated by a "TOU" flag, showing intent to violate the promise.

If people are wondering why Google is simping to Trump, they have been convicted of being a monopoly and the antitrust action is now in the penalty phase.

The action started under Trump I, was vigorously pursued by Biden's Lena Kahn and the conviction secured. Now all that's left is to decide the penalty, which could range from a strongly written letter to a breakup of the company.

If it's any consolation, Bomarc was also cancelled.

I'm guessing that hyper-defensiveness is probably a survival tactic at Tesla.

Jesus, will liberals never learn.

I was just amazed that The Donald might actually manage to work his magic and come up with a way for the liberals to win. An astonishingly remarkable performance from the grand master.
