  1. No CR, just cold reality, but Trump needs a distraction, and Ukraine could provide a pretty good one if some spectacular stuff happened. Wait, cold reality…C..R…
  2. If I woke up tomorrow and aiSelaWard told me that Queen Elizabeth II had to die, well
  3. So if a Real World star takes some of his NASA contracts away from him, or if Tesla has problems with the NHTSA or sales continue to fall, when and how does the thing fall apart, and what company falls apart first? Maybe this is what Isaacson was talking about when he said Musk was probably trying to merge everything.
  4. Biden was President in 2019? edit: @bolverk
  5. The most fascinating thing to me about these past few days is that if they wanted this story to go away, he and Bondi decided to do the exact opposite, and we re seeing both the “Streisand Effect” and a the perfect example of “gaslighting” happening at the exact same moment. I also like that he lumped Hunter Biden’s laptop in with the hoaxes. These are literally things that more than a few MAGA or MAGA-adjacent types really give a shit about for some reason, and that helped drive a major conspiracy movement (Q/Qanons) and he’s telling them to forget about it, that it’s nothing, and if they believe it, they are a part of the leftist conspiracy against him.
  6. Should have sold it to Netflix as a 12 or 16-hour modern version of James Michener’s Centennial. That was an amazing series.
  7. I just know these movies really aren’t on the cultural awareness/what have you of my middle-schooler and his friends, and I hope Alamo will do a double-header of the original Terminator and T2 in the next few years, so he gets to fully experience the flip from antagonist to protagonist.
  8. Some of the Dems in the House are trying to force a vote on releasing the records, thereby putting all Republicans in the House in record. And I bet Marjorie Taylor Greene is more than happy to join them. I'm honestly shocked they haven’t been leaked, but the thing is, the people who could leak know the power in having them, and hanging them over the heads of people they want things from.
  9. I love that he claims the files are false and were written by Obama.
  10. He's having quite a time over the Epstein stuff, and this is liable to fuel a helluva lot more conspiracy theories/theorists. MAGA influencers must be upset with him over it.
  11. Don’t forget the conspiracy theorists who will bitch.
  12. City of Austin texted me about the NWS warnings. Guess nobody is fucking around.
  13. I'm just hoping that nobody feeds the AI information about the song "Sandstorm" by Darude so we can get all kinds of swaying structures when some civil engineers get in a rush and try to use it for some shortcuts.
  14. It will be, since Netanyahu only won the no-confidence vote because he promised they wouldn't be called up. The Orthodox were willing to join up with the other groups to boot him out of power. There's been a lot of noise about this over the past few days on a friend's (from Israel) group chat and how there's going to be a lot of students ignoring the call-up, forcing a showdown with the government. These people that are being targeted don't want to server because they disagree politically or are afraid of dying or whatever, it's religious with them. Really religious.
  15. Elon Musk@elonmusk Grok 4 is the first time, in my experience, that an AI has been able to solve difficult, real-world engineering questions where the answers cannot be found anywhere on the Internet or in books. And it will get much better. 2:39 AM · Jul 10, 2025 —— Engineering problems like whether or not Linda can take a BBC?
  16. Surprised they don't sell it to the Chinese.
  17. Meanwhile I’m getting ads for Grok 4 I have an old racing-related Twitter account. If it searches user history for its responses, maybe I can get it to start talking shit about Dale Earnhardt or Tony Stewart. That’ll get some people going.
  18. He can still generate some cash (although that runs out fast if Tesla is hammered in the markets), but most importantly, he’s got Twitter. He could weaponize it against Trump like he did against the Dems, and he could also cut off Trump’s followers, or at least Trump’s messaging in one fell swoop - they aren’t flocking to truth social in large numbers, and its reach is tiny, and they know it. They’d be prone to go to Threads (they all have Facebook accounts). Musk is more than happy to fuck around with Twitter against his enemies, so lots of things can happen. And he can try and get his followers to at least vote against Trump’s people without spending much, and try to get some of the environmentalists on his side. The irony is that the Dems are more friendly to Tesla than the Rs. Leon should not have burned that bridge. But this is not good for him - anti-Musk head of NASA and anti-Musk head to NHTSA being nominated within a week of each other. If things have been at an 11 the past week, he’s going to break the knob in the coming weeks. I could easily see NASA dumping money onto Boeing to get an alternative to SpaceX out there. Trump has already talked about it not being good to rely on Musk. Musk is a liability to Trump, and Trump sees every problem as a nail and he’s got a huge hammer in the federal government. Pop some popcorn.
  19. Pretty good sign Trump is done with him, and Musk's meltdown over the Epstein files probably played a part. NHTSA already had calls out for Tesla to turn over stuff on FSD well before now, and so we should be seeing at least some conclusions in the not-too-distant future. The robotaxi stuff will be icing on the cake, and Texas won't cover for him if the feds tell him to shut it down.
  20. I watched so you don’t have to. He’s doing a good job of selling the tears, but it’s great for Jones, because the Epstein truthers will coalesce around him or Musk. Also he thinks the National Weather Service notices that were publicly released before the floods were fake or didn’t happen. This is the Alex Jones we’ve been missing for a while.
