  • Someone just told me they're trying to spin it as not being as incompetent as the Afghanistan pullout.

    I swear to God, Republicans are incapable of going "my bad, that was my mistake." Instead they just spin spin spin and attack attack attack.

  • The Daily Show did a pretty good segment yesterday highlighting the absurdity of their response about how this data didn't count as being "war plans":

    It's absolute insanity that they're trying to spin this as not being classified or even sensitive info.

  • Yeah, this would make the story exponentially worse. It'd be like if you got caught cheating on your wife and went "whoa calm down! I didn't know that woman, she just showed up to my Friday night gang bang unannounced!”

  • Honestly, this is a much more thoughtful and thorough response than I was expecting.

  • Just goes to show you can never trust a person with "balls" in their name.

  • Is it possible to #2 and not #1? I don't think my plumbing works that way.

    Actually now that I think about it, back in highschool one of my friends took a shit in someone's vegetable crisper and I don't recall him pissing all over the place when he did. So it must be possible.

  • MAGA is like a real-time massive Dunning Kruger demonstration playing out in real time. These people don't even have a basic understanding of what a government actually does. They just assume "it can't be that hard, let's just fire everyone and figure it out later."

  • Definitely some of The Narcissist's Prayer going on:

    That didn't happen. (Hegseth lead with this yesterday calling the journalist a liar)

    And if it did, it wasn't that bad. (Trump was here last night saying it was a small glitch)

    And if it was, that's not a big deal. (Now they're saying "whoopsie" about adding the journalist but not addressing the use of Signal at all)

    And if it is, that's not my fault. (stay tuned)

    And if it was, I didn't mean it.

    And if I did, you deserved it.

  • Tesla better hope the vandals behind recent attacks on its cars and showrooms don’t watch the news, because hundreds of Model 3s and Model Ys parked up together sounds like a dream come true for protestors. We’ve asked Tesla—who famously disbanded its press team in the US—about the lots full of cars, but so far, we haven’t received a response.

    Lol at the author basically saying "anyone wanna burn this shit down?"

  • Holy shit, I get that polls don't always tell a complete picture, but this dude lost 10 points of approval ratings with boomers in a single week.

  • The White House has denied war plans were texted to the group, and Hegseth on Monday denied the reporting as well, calling Goldberg “a deceitful and highly discredited, so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again.”

    Fuck it, I say call their bluff and release it.

  • We have the best exploding cars in the world. All thanks to jail.

  • Thanks! Q4 numbers are a little down. I guess it'll be the Q1 numbers that should be the most interesting.

  • I was referring to Tesla sales in the US, not just the stock price. I keep seeing how sales are down X% in Germany or Y% in the UK, but even during their last quarterly meeting, I don't recall hearing anything about their US numbers.

  • I keep seeing these numbers from Europe, but have yet to see North America numbers. I'm curious to see if sales are tanking in the US even harder.

  • I think the biggest difference is that Elon has money. Most of the people Trump throws under the bus are people that served a useful function but then stopped fulfilling that function.

    Elon's function is to have money. He bought Twitter and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump and Republicans. He threatens to fund primary challengers for any Republican that doesn't fall in line.

    I don't see that usefulness disappearing anytime soon, no matter how unpopular he is.

  • Ugh this just reminded me that I ran into this exact issue a couple years ago. We were running jobs every hour to ingest data from an API into our data warehouse. Eventually we got reports from users about having gaps in our data. We dug into it for days trying to find a pattern, but couldn't pinpoint anything. We were just missing random pieces of data, but our jobs never reported any failures.

    Eventually we were able to determine the issue. HTTP 200 with "error: true" in the response. Fml
