Zelensky Asks Trump to Get Musk’s OK for Starlink-Guided Strikes Inside Russia

I'm all for giving Ukraine this type of capability, but tying the capability with a civilian product name has massive risks that used to mostly just be theory until wildberries warehouses started exploding. I just checked Amazon, there's a LOT of starlink for sale on there.

In a long winded, hand wavey way, Elons massive need to be the center of attention makes your local amazon distribution center a legitimate military target with deals like this.

Wait....wait. yes let's do this.

TIL that Los Angeles is expanding a program paying people not to drive. If you agree to keep you car parked at home for 5 weeks and explore other ways to get around, you can earn up to $600

Metro has partnered with GoCarma, whose mobile app automatically tracks travel behavior and odometer readings — making participation easier than ever. 

There's the fun part. They're going to track the shit out of you and your car. Whether you successfully earn that $600 or not, they're going to hoover up your data and sell it for more.

The gaming industry is truly messed up…

Boycotts don't stop EA money. They have superbowl ad money. The market of consumers that really just don't give a shit about this is way too large, and they will go with what's advertised to them constantly.

I'm not saying don't boycott them. I have for decades. I've preached that for decades. It doesn't work, the AAA dev is going to still have the main stage during every gaming convention and there will still be some weird ass overnight line to be the first one to buy corporate slop game 2026.
