🧵!!!! I remind everyone that Elon lost a battle of wits to a package of pop-tarts and a toaster.

The Time Elon Musk Hurt Himself Trying to Eat Pop-Tarts

Space journalist Eric Berger's 2021 book Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX includes an anecdote from one of Musk's colleagues in the extraterrestrial exploration industry in which Musk encounters worthy adversaries at his hotel's breakfast bar - a packet of Pop-Tarts and a typical toaster.

"Elon comes down, and he walks over to the breakfast bar and he picks up a package of Pop-Tarts," the man recalled. "He was transfixed. This was like a scene out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, when the apes examine the monolith. It was clearly the most fascinating thing he had seen that morning"

When Musk finally realized that Pop-Tarts are best prepared toasted, he took the package to the toaster and inserted the two pastries into the slots - horizontally. After the Pop-Tarts were done cooking, instead of doing literally anything else, Musk dug his fingers in between the grates to get the treats that were out of reach, screaming "Fuck, it burns!
Fuck, it burns!" at the top of his lungs.

Next time, just get a muffin.

Newt, to quote Charles Pierce, is “a dumb person’s idea of a smart person.” Lucky is a weirdo, beardo, & a fatty. Musk lost a battle of wits against two pop-tarts and a toaster!

This seems somewhat appropriate tonight for multiple reasons.

A three panel comic from one of the Transformers comic books. In the top 1/3rd Optimus Prime is being grabbed by two guards. He says: "MY
FRIEND'S NAME WAS MEGATRON AND HE HAD THREE QUESTIONS! THREE THINGS HE SAID YOU SHOULD DEMAND TO KNOW OF ANY POWERFUL INSTITUTION! QUESTION ONE: IN WHOSE INTERESTS DO YOU EXERCISE YOUR POWER?" In the middle panel after being told that he's said enough, Prime says: "QUESTION TWO: TO WHOM ARE YOU-JUST LET ME FINISH-TO WHOM ARE YOU ACCOUNTABLE?" In the third panel he says: "AND THREE-OOF! AND THREE! HOW CAN WE GET RID OF YOU?"

I'm going through it too. So here's a pic of Ruby as a puppy. We call it no brakes!

But the really Arab/Muslim baiting one was of Rabin's face superimposed on Arafat's head above the Hebrew word liar. IIRC at one point Bibi had a version of these on either side of his podium during one of his final rallies before Rabin was assassinated. 3/

Anti-Rabin posted. Yitzhak Rabin's face superimposed on Arafat's head. Above his name in red written in Hebrew is the word liar. Below the image in black & red letters it says elections now!

I want to clarify/correct something. The HUR crest is an owl affronte clutching a sword in its talons. It's motto translates as the wise will rule the stars. LTG Budanov has a painting of an owl hunting a bat behind his desk & I confused the two. Hope that clears that up.

The crest of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, the HUR. It is a black field with a round shield. In the center of the shield, in orange, is a globe with Ukraine visible in the bottom. At the top of the shield is an owl affronte clutching a sword in its talons by the hilt with the point planted in Ukraine. In the outer circle is the HUR's crest. At the top it is in Ukrainian and the bottom it is in Latin. It translates into English as the wise will rule the stars.

A pciture of LTG Budanov at his desk in his office at the HUR. On the wall behind his desk is a painting of an owl hunting a bat in the skies over a city under attack. The owl is part of the HUR's crest. The bat is part of Russia's GRU's, it's Directorate of Military Intelligence, crest.

FloriDUH! has issued a commemorative license plate. Yes, it's real.

Screen shot of a headline and graphic from an online newspaper. There is a red car in the background. In the foreground a woman's left hand is holding a Florida license plate. It is white, there is a faded green state of Florida graphic in the center with a pair of oranges and an orange blossom superimposed over it. The top of the license plate says FLORIDA in green letters. The bottom says SUNSHINE STATE in green letters. The alpha=numeric sequence on the license plate is SQZ A55, which is being read as squeeze ass.

You’ll appreciate these pics. I was able to save one of the last surviving Carlson’s Raiders’ Bowies from an estate sale. It’s from the end of the production run because of the mismatched hilts. I had a professional do light conservation work on it as someone had taken an angle grinder to the edge.

A picture of the left side of a Carlson’s Raiders’ Bowie knife from WW II below a handmade leather sheath that came with it. The hilt on this side is black. You can see the makers mark below the hilt.

A picture of the right side of a Carlson’s Raiders’ Bowie knife from WW II below a handmade leather sheath that came with it. The hilt in this side is mismatched from the left side as it is green not black, which means this knife is from the end of the production run..

When I use the Arc Trainer I stream cartoons so I have something I can watch, but not have to focus much on so I can focus on my workout. Yesterday's was Season 1, Episode 18 of Marvel's Avengers Assemble.Notice how Mojo has altered his appearance for broadcast in the 2nd pic. This aired in 2014.

Mojo, Marvel Comics interdimensional menace & ruler of the Mojoverse. Mojo is a yellow spineless alien who rules a dimension dedicated to reality entertainment. He is wired into his hover chair & feeds off of broadcast ratings. He first appears in 1985 in the X-Men comics. This image is from the Avengers Assembled Season 1 episod 18, which aired in 2014.

Mojo as he broadcasts his appearance to announce his newest broadcast entertainment spectacle: an arena cage fight between the Hulk & an alien. You'll notice that Mojo has altered his appearance to look like a certain degenerate president of the United States. This is from Season 1, Episode 18 of the Avengers Assemble Cartoon, which aired in 2014!

Because this is a job for the US Rake Force!

A fake crest for the equally fake US Rake Force. It has an orange background with a round shield. The interline portion is a light yellow rake superimposed over brown mountains. In a ring around that is written “United States Rake Force.” In the ring around that, which is the outermost ring, is Trump’s quote “You gotta take care of the floors. You know, the floors of the forest.”

Saw the black coyote again on this evening's walk with the Dog Lanterns. He was just chilling in the middle of the field. So completely chill that he didn't even move when I got about ten feet closer to get a better picture.

A solid black coyote sitting in a field looking directly at me. There is scrub behind him.

Remember, elections are a necessary, but may not be sufficient remedy to the neo-fascist revanchist movements plaguing the US, Britain, Germany, France, Israel, Australia, Canada, NZ, & Hungary. From @donmoyn.bsky.social: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

One foundation, Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) was handed $1.7 billion in government money and asset to train conservatives and create programming for primary and secondary education. Even if Orban loses elections, his loyalists will remain. Advisory board members appointed by Orban were given lifetime positions, and they are the only ones who can select new members. This is a basic form of cronyism, a bribe to retain power. Orban appointed Balazs Orban (no relation), to lead the MCC even as he served as state secretary in the prime minister's office.
The Lesser Orban serves as an ambassador to far-right academics and think tanks, such as the Heritage Foundation.

The ceasefire was between Israel, one party to the conflict, & the government of Lebanon, which was NOT a party to the conflict. The other part to the conflict, Hezbullah, was not part of the ceasefire agreement. The US negotiated a ceasefire b/ween one belligerent & one non-belligerent. 2/

The golf carts & their drivers scare me way more than the coyotes, bobcats, wild boar, and gators. That's why I got one of these for getting around where I live in FloriDUH!
