When it imploded, the Titan was at way higher pressures than Venus's 92 ATM so I'd totally trust this longtermist dipshit to keep me safe in a 900 degree F sulfuric acid sea thirty million miles from earth.

Definition of a coffee shop employee: someone who consistently provides more value to society than anyone in the 1%.

This is why I ended up with a Hyundai Ioniq rather than a Tesla. Tesla had a head-start of years in the EV space, but has largely squandered it with a stagnant product line and crap like this. The rest of the industry has now caught up. Teslas used to be the only cool EVs around, but now just about every carmaker has an EV that is competitive or better in every way. Tesla is just not keeping up and hostile crap like this is poison to a brand.

the idea of being visited by aliens lost its appeal when i realized they’d likely just be some other planet’s asshole billionaires

"I'm apolitical" or "I don't get involved politics" just means you have the privilege of being favoured by state policies regardless of which party wins the election and you are blind to this privilege.

Never trust apoliticals. They will never have your back when your very existence is politicised and attacked.

@BruceMirken @JamesHMcLaren I guess. But that you and me know that seems a weakness in his acumen.

You’re right though: he has done what he has done and escaped prison so far.

Jesus, furniture store. I’m just looking.

This is a masterclass on how not to change a company name.

Anyone else would not change the name to a trademark their competitor owns, the logo to a symbol they cannot own and then try to take down the sign at headquarters only to have the cops shut that down because they had no permit. 🤦‍♂️

A trifecta of oopsie daisies. Should we let them release robot cars onto the roads?

In numerical terms, this must be one of the biggest corrections ever made by a newspaper.

I guess a Tweet is now a Twix, and the impending lawsuit is as close as that asshole will ever get to Mars.

Imagine controlling a brand whose name and associated actions have, miraculously, entered the language of everyday life in the only way that can really happen … just a purely organic process of adoption, to the point where competitors use pastiches of “your” words. The kind of thing marketers dream of but know in their hearts cannot be artificially induced. Astonishingly valuable. Now imagine you are a boneheaded narcissist billionaire with a long-term fixation on the letter ‘x'.

It was the becestershire of times, it was the worcestershire of times.
