i want to eventually see the insanely long elon musk documentary, but in the interim, this short 2 paragraph nuclear bomb from @karlbode.com is about the single best description of elon ive ever seen
Quick reminder: Elon Musk is an unremarkable and virulent racist who cosplays as a supergenius engineer. He leveraged the money he lucked into at Paypal to opportunistically glom onto actual innovators and take singular credit for their work while consistently cutting corners in ways that put human lives at risk.

There's bottomless evidence he doesn't know how anything works, yet has found unsurprising financial success in a country being devoured alive by artifice.

something ive been thinking about: arguing about literally everything, all day every day, is incredibly damaging to our brains. i think learning, being inquisitive, trying to gain new knowledge, those are all really important. but arguing on screens for 10+ hours a day every day is very very bad

Feel free to correct me but I'm pretty sure he is the only politician in history where the actual words coming out of his mouth do not matter in the least to his supporters. Coherence is simply not a requirement.

Elon Musk responds to concerns that he’s turned off Starlink for Ukraine, insisting that any decision on that is made by Trump (the guy he helped get elected)
Mykhailo Fedorov: Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 km/h is being restored.
Removing Starshield's speed limit entirely is now critical for Ukraine's defense.
Thank you, @elonmusk. We hope for your continued support.

Musk: Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.
Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

as a phillies fan, my theory is: they think the 2027 season will be shortened, and they still want that cheating scumbag alex cora, so they give mattingly this deal, he does what he did this season in an abbreviated 2027, then they try to get cora again. i hate being a fan of this franchise

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Am I wrong for throwing an "UnWedding"
Join
44m single and childless and I have an idea for something I want to do next year. I've only shared it with one person who immediately flew off the handle.
Context: At 44 l've been in at least 8 weddings, I've been to countless engagements parties, bridal showers, weddings, gender reveals, baby showers, kids birthdays and more. I've sponsored my people's kids in their jogathons, school fundraiser, etc.
Resolution: I want to throw a "Fun Uncle Shower,"
"Single Life Soirée" the "UnWedding" of the century. I want to create a registry and send invites to anyone who I have ever attended or funded the above events for. My take, if I took 3 days out of work, rented a tux, flew across the country, and bought you a breadmaker, I think you could throw $50 my way or buy me a Starbucks gift card. To be clear it's not just about the money. It's about single people being asked time and time again to hand over their time and money because two people are having intercourse regularly. Single people often pay all their own bills, and have less disposable income, but get guilted into traveling to see people with kids because "it's easier", they get ostracized from friend groups for not being a couple or parent, until their kid is selling wrapping paper. It's time to take a stand. 45, single, no kids? You get a cuarenta y cinceñera. AITA??
