  1. The bigger thing to me is that "Great Thread" with a Xwitter link is useless to me without an account (one that will never again get created). I see a single post and that's it, no means of viewing the rest of the thread. So I need someone to take the bullet and post the link or note that the same can be found on Bluesky or Threads. Anyway, carry on.
  2. To be fair, given her age and time in industry, Swisher pointed out this was mostly to get the 3 letters by her name, by any means necessary, she wasn't getting them at NBC, so get them at X. What does she do now? Retire? Just chill? She has a net worth of $40M. She can basically just take the rest of her life off and relax. Why even go back? But yeah, as much as she's debased herself, no one else is going to take her in. Then again, maybe she is right there for an ad exec.
  3. Stealing salary? 🤨 A. I would argue just working for Elon is worth the pay. B. Frankly, he was forking it over just to have a CEO that wasn't him, even if INO. C. She ran cover for him over that 2 years. D. As much as this stint has destroyed her rep, she's earned her pay. Don't get me wrong, do I think she is dumb for ever taking that job? Yes. Do I think it cost her a hell of a lot more than she made? Yes. But do I think she was overpaid or didn't earn that money? No.
  4. Just another thing to remember about Sean Duffy - he was a cast member of Real World: Boston (season 6 of the show) WAY back in 1997. (The Globe did a piece on him).

  6. Nah, if you want to get Trumps goat, one of them has to be Ivanka.

  8. AND Chelsea gets to play these guys in the final?
  9. Check the score... Getting to watch Madrid humiliated But man 3-0 with a 2/3 of the game to go But Getting to watch Madrid humiliated
  10. Just turned on the game
  11. At least we are playing in the game. It might be 5-0, but I would rather play that game and lose than not play it at all.
  12. Wow, does he not realize just how stupid this answer is?
  13. I said this was my next in list, but it ended up taking me a little longer to finish it because I put it down for a month or so. But i just finished it. 100% agreement with this review. I knew Zuck is 100% a piece of shit, I just didn't realize how big of a piece of shit that resulted in. And how little the guy can read a room is unbelievable. So damn unaware it's unbelievable (except I can believe it). Not to mention his company and how shitty they are. I won't disagree with the Swisher review - much of the fluff shock pieces can be called into question. But the facts that she does pull out of there are really good deals - China, Myanmar, the brush with the Facebook Files, Internet.org, etc - really great revealing stuff. But the soft piece leave the book open to critique. Anyway, Great read - highly recommended. This is the segment from back in March that I mentioned - good stuff https://youtu.be/pSLKhMczbPg?si=H4VdsjD8M_Dc7E05&t=864 (linked for space)
  14. I guess it wasn't the only thing Elon tried to slip in.
  15. While Grok was going nuts yesterday I didn't realize that Elon tried to slip this in ...
