  1. Sounds like border security worked well. Hopefully innocent lives were spared and injuries avoided.
  2. There was a time that the right actually had issues of substance to discuss. Even if you disagreed with them, you could acknowledge that they had their issues. Now it's only about culture issues to rile up their base and churn the grift machine. For Rob Schneider what came first? Did Sandler stop putting him in movies which forced him to find revenue being a right wing pundit, or did it occur in the reverse order?
  3. In their eyes, libs are being the cruel ones. They want to eliminate the social programs altogether and therefore there is no 6 month wait to receive benefits.
  4. 2 of the M4L founders were honored at the Fox New patriot awards. Most Valuable Patriots.
  5. The EU and gasp, Paris Hilton pulling their ads from X. The funny part of the Paris Hilton change is that Yaccarino highlighted Paris last month. When do we fast forward where Elon just pulls the plug on X? There is no chance that he admits his mistakes and leaves the platform to professionals.
  6. What does Turkey have to do with the Atlantic part?
  7. Interesting Cliff Claven factoid. NATO didn't respond to Argentina attacking a NATO country (UK-Falklands Islands) because the NATO treaty only covers attacks north of the tropic of cancer (line that cuts Cuba and Mexico.) I was unaware of that clause. We could be on our own if someone attacked Puerto Rico.
  8. It might be a bit premature to say MSFT absorbed OpenAI for free. I agree its a coup to get the face of AI as a new employee but it doesn't mean that MSFT just takes everything from OpenAI. If the BOD really thought that Altman was steering the company in the wrong direction that doesn't call for his firing. Seems like a great opportunity to reset strategy to bring the CEO in line, or negotiate a settlement for his separation from the company. Now perhaps those discussions had taken place, a strategy agreement was decided and Altman ignored it. Who knows.
  9. Tell the people that it’s $90, and even when they see it for $20 at their grocery store they will think $20 is an anomaly. They may even brag at Thanksgiving that Greg Abbott is protecting Texas from Biden.
  10. The Board is there to do his bidding not protect or represent the common shareholders. 25% of the board have the last name Musk.
  11. Old people die. If Jimmy Carter passes away next week that’s more a factor of being 99 years old not that his wife recently passed.
  12. I don’t see how Tesla stockholders haven’t sued Elon yet. A reasonable person could agree that his Twitter commmets, while unrelated to Tesla, are impacting Tesla sales and stock price.
  13. I attempted to help my mom fill out a mail-in ballot application but she was denied because she failed to enter 1 required field. Honest mistake filling out a long govt form. Should I retain a criminal lawyer?
  14. John Cornyn has some ketchup to add to that.
  15. How does a developing economy like Argentina handle inflation that is always high including over 100% this year? From my understanding, many average workers either immediately spend each paycheck, or they legally and illegally convert it to USD. Do workers receive monthly raises to keep up with inflation? An employer can't expect workers to keep showing up on Monday morning if they're effectively earning 10% less than last month. And so on.
  16. MSFT's partnership with OpenAI is a huge strategic win for MSFT. How can a board not understand the importance that MSFT should be included in that decision. Honesty, I'm surprised that MSFT doesn't have a board seat(s) that can veto major decisions or at least delay them.
  17. I can't recall her name being spoken much in the last couple of decades but my memory was that it was Rah-za-lynn from when he was President. Even if my main memory is from Dan Ackroyd as Carter on SNL.
  18. Outside of a founder/CEO being fired for cause, especially harassment, I can't recall a board firing someone like this. Especially for a company that is skyrocketing at this level. On top of that, their largest investors only found out minutes before it happened.
  19. After sentencing, this guy was yelling, “Trump won” as he was led out of the court. What a cult. Doesn’t care that he’s going away for 10+ years, it’s more important to spread a conspiracy.
  20. Hospice isn’t always about dying right away, but it definitely is for some. You can effectively be on hospice indefinitely as long as a doctor will sign off that a condition will most likely take you within 6 months. If it doesn’t, you can remain on hospice.
  21. It bothers you if a product or service advertises to a different demographic than you? Most likely if/when that happens, you wouldn’t even notice it unless Charlie Kirk tells you about it.
  22. From photos on the new cnn story it looks like she fell off the summit or at least that it my recollection of the top of the trail.
  23. How did they not continue the Dragon Tattoo series with Craig and Mara? They had book content, they had another film series to draw inspiration including understanding how audiences reacted to them. I know the producers ultimately made another film from the inspired by series but so ridiculous to waste the opportunity.
