Know, O Prince, of the caffeine- and cortisol-fueled writer, musician, husband, and dad. Hither came Mike, critical thinker and liberal atheist humanist, who tried to do some good while treading the jeweled thrones of the Earth beneath his sneakered feet.

#nowwatching The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it. Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?

This is near 100% confirmation that Tesla won't get a permit to roll out FSD Supervised in Europe. My hunch is that the Regulator needs Tesla's FSD data, which Tesla has refused to submit even to regulators in California since 2014. I wonder what Tesla has to hide?

Is it rude to bring a store-bought Thanksgiving dish when everyone else is cooking from scratch?
And if you buy a pie, do you pretend you made it?

This young man has it exactly right.
A tweet from “Adam Mockler @adammockler” reads:
“Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”
