On the phone, Musk said that he was looking at his laptop and could see “the entire war unfolding” through a map of Starlink activity. “This was, like, three minutes before he said, ‘Well, I had this great conversation with Putin,’ ” the senior defense official told me. “And we were, like, ‘Oh, dear, this is not good.’ ”

It's like the Elon India Tea Company. Strange to think we've got so many individuals that rival any sort of elected officials and that our government is becoming aware of this. Elon in particular seems to have the US over several barrels, space, battlefield communications, recharge stations, and now Twitter and AI possibly from the bottom of a k hole.

Wild, also: I forget how good the New Yorker is. That whole article was fascinating. I feel like I learned a lot and it was interesting.

I didn't eat this onion, but I put it in my mouth for a minute lol

Oh, he got cut off.

In that case shooting up some cars and ramming another seems pretty ok. I mean, what else are you going to do?

Ikr I thought we fixed this. I also thought it was in the northern hemisphere.

“There’s too much identity tied up in one’s work, so that is lost [after retirement]. And then there’s the cultural script of what maleness means in in our culture, so men just won’t admit or won’t receive care for depression because of that sense that it’s somehow not what a man does.”

What use is a cog that can't cog anymore? Caring for elders is not built into our value system and not protected by our economic system.

Hell, it may be the only way to retire in a few more years.

Never send them the drive.

They are probably required to boot to the desktop for qa

How is there fallout of the house democrats for McCarthy losing the speakership?

Look at this air filter!

This AI thing may catch on

You fuck!

It's crazy to think how much damage law enforcement had on the black community's moral leadership of the sixties and seventies. I guess I'd never really thought about the leadership of the generation immediately following.

Tupac absolutely had a lot of charisma and a moral authority. Shit, his name is still known around the world. It is kind of wild to think how he could have matured into that role, especially considering the influence that hip hop has been able to muster socially.

I don't mean to throw shade at anyone, but imagine the impact a prominent hip hop voice could have today with a message that went against the socioeconomic grain and sort of harkened back to some of the voices of the civil rights movement driving real progress.

All Americans, not just the black community that was hit the hardest and most violently, lost a lot to cointelpro and the state behind it.

This is probably a pretty good point. His mouth and any fact seldom meet.

A lot of people are saying that.

Yeah, it's a once in a lifetime thing lol, but it's better to put that out on the off chance someone reading it may have to send one in.

I hate to say it, but unless they're corporate machines or you put it together yourself, computers are basically disposable these days.

Unfortunately, I feel like most hobby forums devolve into fetishism.

It's sad, because that level of dedicated nerdism makes for some great information, conversations, and ingenuity.

I don't know wether to blame our lack of time to actually do whatever it is, or of it's because all of our brains are rotten from lifetimes of marketing.

I don't remember this episode. Do I need to rewatch the series?

Honestly, probably resellers. I use a third party to buy t mobile phone service. Compared to me trying t mobile's home Internet direct, it's a lot better.

But those big three have nothing to do other than cost cut. It's not like they're competing or entering new markets or anything.

Part of me loves the idea of changing stations popping up with something to divert people for twenty minutes.

Part of me realizes that will be forcing someone to push a button for twenty minutes while they are blasted with advertising.

I think one of the things I struggle with is: how much should I be concerned about this?

Like, it's wildly concerning, but aren't these just the same people that always thought this way saying the quiet part out loud?

I kind of personally feel that it's the death throws of the more gentrified version of this brand of politics. The women are more family focused, men are goal oriented demographics reflect reality while ignoring systemic issues brand. It's kindly thought of as old fashioned, but increasingly described as ignorant or unsophisticated.

It feels more like the violent lashing out of a cornered animal that knows it is about to be lunch.

The money behind it is worrying, but it feels like these people are kicking and screaming because they're being dragged forward.

Idk

I believe a fairly wealthy landowner heir as well.

I always get a kick out of these.
