There is one clear thing about watching Trump defend the Vivek commercial. Trump sees no issues with little girls getting raped. It's clear that doesn't phase him at all. A complete non-issue for the man.

Imagine having enough money to end child hunger in America and suggesting that you might give the kids shares of your company instead. And the glaring part of this is the "might". I would put the odds somewhere around 0%. How long until they start hunting us for sport?

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Palestinian skateboarder in Gaza doing a kickflip over an unexploded US-made (in Garland, Texas) Mk. 84 2000lb aerial bomb, provided to Israel as one of many tens of thousands of aerial bombs in the 1,000 and 2,000lb class included in US military assistance.

This roadster was announced 10 years ago. It was supposed to on sale by 2020. Did you spend those 7 years putting rockets on an electric car? Cause we all know, if there is one thing an electric car needs, it's rockets.

"Flying cars are real!" 🚀 Elon Musk and Tesla showcase the new Roadster.

In the vein of "public libraries could never be created today," a pitch for a calculator would get you thrown out of the boardroom. What do you mean, it just maths? Where are the ads supposed to go? How does it send usage telemetry back if it doesn't even have wifi? There isn't even a leaderboard.

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

AI has been developed by and for the elite CEO class of the world. All of their use examples are something a CEO would task their personal assistant with, dinner reservations, plane tickets, etc. AI is built to replace the yes-man personal assistant. They have no idea what we need or want

AI will give a CEO a quick overview of subject before his big meeting. It will tell him how great all his ideas are. It always says yes, has no life or needs, and you don't have to pay it. What more could a CEO want? There aren't enough CEOs to keep these things profitable. We don't need it

I went out and watched the Highway Patrol building get demolished in person this morning. That was really cool It was incredibly eerie when they shut down the interstate. You can hear the interstate for miles in either direction so for it to suddenly go quiet. Exceptionally strange sounding. Silent

There was no count down but it was very close to being on time. You could feel the explosions in your chest from all the way across the interstate where we were. Within 5 seconds there was nothing left but billowing dust. Not sure I have ever left an event so fast, less than a minute after, gone

Obama's tan suit claims more victims. When will we put a stop to this madness? How hard can it be to stop one sentient suit?

A plane with six people aboard lost contact during a flight from Bermuda to Boston, and the U.S. Coast Guard said it was searching Saturday for the missing aircraft off the coast of Nantucket.

I fear they are about to purge anyone not hyper loyal to Trump. When the coup happens, they need full military support so they are getting rid anyone they think might be trouble.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that the Pentagon will cut the number of its generals and admirals by roughly 20% by the start of next year.

I listened to an album on YouTube yesterday so that means today I get the time honored tradition of blocking hundreds of playlists which include tracks from the album. I have never listened to your random playlists. I will never listen to them. You have put thousands of these in my algo, stop.

AI art and music have this problem too. People learn to make art because it is fun to make art. Practice, study, improvement, all that is FUN for people. We have had drum machines for decades. People still learn to play the drums. We are still willing to pay money to watch someone play drums live.

I'm always struck by the absolute fucking JOYLESSNESS of it all. They don't want to browse and explore and spend time actively pursuing a hobby they might enjoy. Instead, they want to click 5 times and then go "Behold my stuff" to an empty room because they have no actual friends.

We used to think you got more conservative as you aged. It turns out it isn't age that makes you more conservative, it is wealth. For conservatism to make sense, you need something to conserve. People once aged into wealth or at the very least financial stability. Not any more.

No one wants to work any more because we are being judged by arbitrary nonsensical rules. Tell me how a beverage would negatively impact an employee's performance, please. Humans waste so much time and energy worrying about the most trivial nonsense.

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

If there is any position that could be replaced by AI, it is the CEO. They clearly have no idea what they are doing. Just throwing spaghetti at the wall while destroying their companies.
