  • Confirmation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Holmberg

    Raymon Everett Holmberg (born December 10, 1944) is a former educator, school counselor, Republican North Dakota state senator, convicted felon, and sex offender.

    Once tied for the longest-serving state legislator in the United States, Holmberg resigned from the senate in 2022 (after 45.5 years) upon investigation into his alleged child sex tourism and receipt of child pornography. In 2024, he pled guilty to charges of the former.

  • Possible people responsible for Tesla vandalisms.

    • Protesters that got carried away.
    • Bugaloo Bois, or other right-wing militia groups, trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent and/or just stir shit up, as is part of their M.O.
    • Trump administration lackies trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent to justify police crackdowns.
    • Tesla employees committing insurance fraud whilst trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent.

    Also keep in mind it doesn’t have to be just one. With multiple events of vandalism, all of these (and more) could be true at the same time.

  • Yup, hadn't thought of that. Sigh.

  • Republican Utah Senator John Curtis said on Meet the Press on Sunday: "... If we don't touch it, it touches itself."

  • This smells a bit like an orphan crushing machine. Is this just a private company offloading moderation duties onto already overworked public school teachers?

  • No mention of if Mr Goldberg checked the list of everyone else in the group to see if there was anyone else added that probably shouldn't be there. That would have been a good idea.

  • At our local Tesler protests, I've seen very little correlation between driver's responses and what they were driving. The vast majority were honking in support, waving, and throwing 👍, including from a couple Teslers.

    Most swasticar drivers just stared straight ahead looking embarrassed. Very very few negative reactions, but they were from every kind of vehicle imaginable.

    The funniest (to me) reactions were the drivers with their mouths agape and eyes wide in utter astonishment, like they had absolutely no clue what was going on. How out of touch with current events can a person be?

  • Sorry, but I've seen some comically bad reporting coming from this site in the past. Pretty sure clickbait is a significant part of their business model.

  • "could have" or "could've" not "could of"

  • Just the same, smashing cars probably won’t endear the generally-docile public to the cause. I would say most people (i.e. the support force necessary for widespread change) don’t want to be associated with violence.

    Which is why we should be considering the real possibility that these are false flag attacks. Want to turn the general populace against peaceful protesters? Engineer false flag attacks that make the protesters appear violent. Now you can arrest peaceful protesters and the general populace will turn and look the other way.

  • There have also been an uptick in incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms that, while unrelated to the protests, have led to Musk and President Donald Trump labeling them “domestic terrorism.”

    Keep in mind that it's completely reasonable to suspect that at least some of these are false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to justify arresting innocent protesters or eventually declaring martial law.

  • "So, you're saying we get one free claim for as many cars as we can burn in one night without loosing our insurance?" - Them, probably.

  • People would be vandalizing Starlink satellites if they could reach them.

    It's perfectly reasonable to think that at least some of these could be false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to give them cover to arrest innocent people and eventually declare martial law. The more that possibility is part of the mainstream conversation, the more wind it takes out of their sails towards accomplishing those goals.

  • It can respond to users’ verbal expressions — such as “I am feeling cold” — by automatically adjusting temperature

    LOL. Who in hell wants to talk to appliances like that? If I wanted to talk to an appliances at all (not really) it would be to give very explicit instructions, not some vague complaint.

    and can “chat and gossip"

    Translation: "We couldn't figure out how to get an LLM to not do this, so we're just going to call it a feature."
