It clear most here didn’t listen to the steam. There is a lot of bullshit in that stream. But this barely meets the bar.
Trump was on the coal and oil train and Elon was basically trying to convince Trump that nuclear power is not as risky as people make it out to be. He even refuted Trump’s claim that the land in Fukushima and other nuclear disasters will be inhabitable for 1000+ years. His example may have been in poor taste, but not like the headlines make it out to be.
P.S. In 2024, is there already not enough material from these two dipshits that the news sites still have to take things out of context for clicks?
It sounds like he was suffering heat-related delirium and should have been prevented from leaving and trying to drive. Most people are unconfrontational though, and may not have even realized what they were seeing, symptomatically.
But as we keep having to remind people, it’s Death fucking Valley. Death is literally there in the name. If you don’t come prepared then ya pays yer nickel and takes yer chances.
The stores that lock up their products are also the stores that don’t enough employees to unlock the cases. The problem isn’t shoplifting the problem is under-staffing.
It’s hard to shoplift in a store that is fully staffed.
A bunch of racist assholes made that claim while Obama was in office, but they notably never produced even the tiniest shred of evidence that it was even a possibility.
If something is locked behind plexiglass at a store, I simply won’t buy it. The few times I have because I was desperate for it and didn’t want/couldn’t wait for the online shipping, I always had to stand there in the aisle awkwardly waiting for an overworked employee who probably wasn’t getting paid enough to come unlock it for me. Feels bad and just makes me want to buy online every time rather than waste a trip to CVS or Home Depot or wherever they’re locking shit up now.
“No subtlety about it,” DeBarber said. “His picture looks like if I go into my bathroom and I turn off the lights and I look in the mirror and I say ‘moist’ three times.”
That dudes going probably to prison for most of the rest of his life but I bet this hurts more.
It’s ridiculous in the first place that this was allowed to be brought to Texas. Twitter is based in California; Media Matters is based in DC. Both organizations have fuck-all to do with the jurisdiction this case was brought before, except of course that Texas are in the chickendick minority of states who haven’t passed anti-SLAPP legislation yet and thus wouldn’t dismiss Musk’s case outright.
Also, eat used gum off the toilet in a park bathroom, Musk; eating shit isn’t good enough for you.
Edit: I was fairly mistaken about the anti-SLAPP thing; it’s still stupid, but definitely see below for clarification.
Texas does have anti-SLAPP laws passed and they are among the strongest in the nation. Unfortunately, the courts have ruled that they cannot be used in federal courts.
My first foray on the internet was AltaVista, at a friends’ pc with dialup connection. Still gives me a nostalgic feeling to think about that moment when the realization of all the opportunities kicked in.
The power vacuum would be insane, realistically speaking, Meta, Xitter, Amazon and Microsoft would race to fill it. It could be a good thing to split Google but it could also go sideways very quickly.

They already tried, in the late 90’s, and a district court ordered a break-up. It was appealed endlessly, and the DOJ reached a disastrous settlement that gave them immunity from anti-trust prosecution in perpetuity. The current Supreme Court would probably use this as a precedent to protect other software monopolies, if it comes down to it.
