He's ok with it as long as the machines are all running Windows, and he gets his fair share.

Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

Unless Musk gets a hearing in front of a judge who exposes his own sympathy to fascism, I can't see this case going anywhere. The truth is an absolute defense to libel.

Never thought that Russia would become the Republic of Gilead, but I suppose they want to excel at something.

The fact that Trump presents such a threat to the world after four disasterous years as President, after attempting to tamper with the electoral college votes, voting machines, after publicly professing his admiration for criminals and despots, because of an elections and politicians that can be overtly bought because the Supreme Court, which itself has been corrupted by bribes and influence allows it to be, may just well bring down the Republic. We are at the point where wrapping oneself in the flag and spewing fascist screeds is considered patriotic, whereas preserving the Enlightenment principles on which the Republic was founded is considered dangerous and subversive. Even if Trump died today, another strongman, probably less stupid than Trump, would take his place, and likely succeed in destroying the Republic. The founders of this country could never have imagined the effects of hate-filled mass media on a population when their main means of information dissemination required imprinting and transporting paper.

Evolution has never stopped. Humans are simply creating new selection pressures. Humans are cruel to each other so that some will kill themselves. This will remain the case until cooperation becomes a dominant survival strategy.

This is the point Humphrey Bogart is waving goodbye to Ingrid Bergman. We're in Vichy territory now.

Teslas in Sweden are probably going to have a lot of flat tires in the near future.

What about these?

Any idiot willing to overpay for that whateverthefuckitis gets what they deserve.

Tesla is making it harder and harder to dare buy an electric vehicle.

The problem is that the Palestinians are stuck in Gaza because no one really cares about them. The Palestinians are more convenient as pawns to use in a proxy war against Israel (for example by Iran and Syria) than to actually achieve a permanent, stable arrangement. For Netanyahu, achieving a settlement alienates his base which wants to expel the Palestinians completely, and the conflict maintains anxiety that keeps him elected.

The republicans are not really governing: they are pandering. There's no way such a measure could become law with the Democratic majority in the Senate. Even if such a measure became law, the Supreme Court would have to completely redefine due process for this to remain law, however, the Supreme Court did decide in favor of internment camps for Japanese American citizens, so I supposed this can not be ruled out.

The House is going to shut down the government and default on the debt.

The most terrifying words ever said are "I'm Republican and I'm here to help."

The answer would depend on which universe you ended up being in.

Looks like we might have a sequel to American Graffiti soon.

John Fetterman shows the integrity of John Fetterman. I am sure many of his caucus are nervous about maintaining a majority.

Capitalism is the system of winners! And winners make the money and write the rules! And you can't cheat if you write the rules!

Back in the last millennium, before the days of the internet, we had to learn to program from these things called books. There was no Stack Overflow or ChatGPT to ask questions. If you were lucky, there was "man" pages. I'll see myself out to the nursing home now.

Maybe breaking away from the hive mind and eating fewer tide pods would be good for the public.
