Elon Musk is not understood
https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2024/01/02/elon-musk-is-not-understood/
Long story but an interesting read.
QuoteElon Musk is a divisive character. My intent here, as always, is to add some nuance and signal to a noisy, complex and/or obscure subject. Whatever your views on Elon, I feel that it is a worthy goal to move the conversation towards more meaningful engagement, hopefully without painting too large a target on my back. The problem is that 99% of the critique out there is not well-intentioned and it’s not accurate, which means that most people simply lack the context they need to understand what Elon is doing and why. This is a problem, because Elon is a relatively powerful and visionary leader, and his companies are increasingly important vehicles for the delivery of transformative technology.

Murray dominated Cenk there. "ill-traveled, ill-lettered, and ill-spoken " made me chuckle.

The whole "Elon is antiSemitic" thing is hilarious. He's clearly not.
He's also clearly weird.
But what he said here was not incorrect, "what I care about is the reality of goodness not the perception of it and what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil. F*ck them."

I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. It was interesting in spots. The battles were fun. But it all just sort of ran together. There was no climax.

That's like being the tallest midget.

Bump. While I appreciate RDCanecutter's reply, I am also interested in feedback on specific apps/websites. I have recently gone to work in a role where Spanish would be invaluable. I took Spanish from K-11 and then 4 semesters at UT. I was conversational at any restaurant or jobsite in my early 20s. Much of that has faded. I can still understand some things when my employees speak Spanish, but I am not up to speed and I struggle to formulate my own sentences. I want to jump into something that will help me more with speaking/hearing than reading/writing. Any app suggestions?

It was pretty easy to get an unofficial transcript for UT. Looking back on all of that work I put it 20 years ago, I probably should have done something more practical with my brain. Post your curriculum if you want. At least it's the season for nostalgia and regrats.

God bless, Elon. He's exposing what many knew to be true. Sure, ideologues will spin it or act like it's nothing, but that's par for the course.

Can you elaborate on why?
Because believing in free speech means allowing folks to say what they wish. But it doesn't mean that they can do so without consequences. If the speech is damaging to the business, it's a fireable offense. Open and shut. Non-disparagement clauses are probably in their employment contracts.
Now, if Musk deleted the open letter, sought to cover it up, didn't allow employees to chat via Slack, etc. THEN one could legitimately go after him about free speech. Going after his reaction to speech is a different thing. One can't run around screaming publicly about how the management sucks and expect for the company to be thrilled and just ignore it. No doubt the open letter writers are in their 20s.

Nobody reasonable is arguing with that conclusion. We’re mostly noting that when it comes from a purported champion of “FREE SPEECH!” across the board (that is, not in the state actor context, but literally in the context of people just venting to the world), it’s pretty fucking funny, and shows him to be what most of us knew he was all along: a hypocritical troll pussy who can dish it out but can’t take it at all.
Keep stanning for a pathetic bitch boy, it keeps us amused.This is a retarded opinion. I don't care if one likes Musk or not, but this isn't a free speech issue. The speech was allowed, not suppressed. It doesn't take thin skin to fire those dummies. If my employees did that, I'd fire them too. It doesn't even come close to making Musk a hypocrite.

“Free speech! Oops, never mind. You’re fired.”
It's obviously not a free speech issue. Musk didn't suppress the speech. He just laid down the consequences for publicly trashing one's boss, as he should. Those idiots messed around and found out.

The funeral was a real tear jerker but I tell you what Chris Collins is a remarkable man. Most of us would have keeled and not been able to function were we in his shoes (lord knows I would have) and instead he got up and spoke about the devastation and how he and his family's wounds will never heal but that they will make and and wanted to share that hope for us all.
Having known the man for over 30 years you couldn't help but break down and cry as all of my high school classmates we were sitting with can attest.
The state of Texas needs to bar medical transports for convicted killers and only allow medical visits on premises. This tragedy never should have happened.Did you attend Spring Woods HS? I live in that district and several of my neighbors knew the Collins family (Raymonds, Rogers) growing up.

How was it political? She started off by shining light on the sexual abuse and then spoke out against Christians supporting immoral politicians. The reaction to her were political but she was speaking within the confines of Christianity.
That's not what Beth Moore started off with, my man. She's her own piece of work and will jump in this every time it's in the news, but she wasn't leading the charge on it.

People in power often work to keep that power and lose site of the mission. Shame to see it happen like this in the SBC. Root it out, fellas.

Twitter's moderation guidelines aren't really opaque or confusing, they just suck at enforcing them. Unless he wants to hire a lot more human moderators, I don't see a way to improve that.
Twitter's moderation is definitely whack. The other day I was going back and forth with a buddy and jokingly told him to "go jump in a lake." Twitter suspended me for 24 hours and made me delete the tweet. Meanwhile, in the same back and forth, my buddy told me to "die in a fire" and they didn't bother him. Silly stuff.
