What's a credible exit here that would let Zuck save face? What SpaceX did, rent out the data centres for inference?

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

This is a remarkably resilient misunderstanding that I regularly encounter on LinkedIn of all places, it's not just MAGA, it's broadly speaking accepted in white collar laborers and the professional managerial class.

Out of this opposition to Palestinian self determination and whatever restraint was applied, the Irgun broke off from the Haganah. Why the Palestinians rejected the 1947 Partition Plan should be painfully obvious, given the terror leading up to it, and the insanity of negotiating with colonizers.

Hey yeah Arab leadership said no because the British Colonial Army spent the previous year violently opposing their self determination, helped by the Haganah. Look up the Special Night Squads and Notrim.

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion
It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."
