tesla has become a car selling company that doesn’t sell cars. But the cars do explode.

space x has become sending rockets to space company that doesn’t make rockets go to space. But the rockets do explode.

elon has become a government waste, fraud and abuse stopper who doesn’t stop government waste, fraud and abuse. Can he follow their lead?

Don’t do this, and don’t use a google voice number (which totally works) or other disposable mobile-style number or your email-for-spammers email address at this link:

And don’t encourage others to do it too.

Some days you can give it your all.

Some days you can give it your most.

Today, give it your almost.

"…Trump will have crowned himself king. No Congress and no court could stop him. Even if a future Congress were to try to stop him, it could not do so without the power of the courts to enforce their hearings, investigations, subpoenas, and laws.

What can you do? To begin with, call your members of Congress and tell them not to pass Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill."

"It’s tough, acting. you have to walk two lines of a tightrope. there’s the all consuming fear of failure… and there’s also confidence – you have to be confident to try new things – And they fight each other all the time."

The largest tax hike in US history (tariffs are import taxes) and it’s damaging the economy and every American’s future?

Who could have guessed exactly actually everyone.

AI companies fail to recognize that they target creative jobs because those don’t impact life and limb in failure modes. Self-driving cars mass murder when they fail, whereas image generation aesthetically disappoints. This is the crux of why they think creative jobs are targetable/disposable: they see the failures be tolerated. More on this, I wrote 2 years ago today:

When playing dead is no longer enough.

Did you know that obstructing the work of the United States Congress, like say ice physically barring Representatives from inspecting an ice facility as the law requires they be allowed to, could be Contempt of Congress and subject to arrest by the Sergeant at Arms?

@steter fair point, his risk tolerance is not set at a typical level.

Comey has a talent for missteps.

I checked 19 different dictionaries, and only 3 have any sort of violence or killing in the definition of "eighty-six." And there is this (image)

Suddenly the people who wrote the same of Biden have an issue with it being said about musk/45. It seems patel is unserious: nothing additional has been said publicly about the attempt on musk/45 that grazed his now unscarred ear, but shells on the beach are a critical issue for him? Seems…uneven.

The bridge they’re closing for the military parade, according to the NPS, has a limit of 10 tons. The United State’s main battle tank, the M1 Abrams, weighs ~60 tons.

So if they include those tanks, could get interesting.

Are we sure that when they said, “the south shall rise again” they meant full fascist white supremacist take over?

And not like: we’re gonna get a decent alarm clock to get up on time?

Or: the judge will come back and we will all stand up as justice prevails?

Or: we’re ordering some yeast to make a great loaf of bread?

Like, could we ask someone about this? 😝😝😲
