My take on the new Tesla roadster is that not enough data centers have been bombed in Russia The TL is insufferable

Bill Burr: “Capitalism is a great thing if it’s regulated and they started deregulating it in the early 80’s and that’s how we ended up where we’re at. This new way of doing business where you come up with something and you just close the door behind it, nobody else is making money in this sector of business except for me. It’s out of control. You can tell it’s a monopoly when they don’t give a fuck. It used to be where all you had was your reputation, quality of your product, and how you treated your customers. Live Nation are internally sending emails laughing about how much they’re fucking over people. Why would you guys be joking about that?”

The cryptographic world computer: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties. FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.

This anti-Ken Paxton video is going viral, for good reason. @jamestalarico is gonna win Texas!

Imagine you had the worst timing in Bitcoin history. You bought exactly 1 BTC at each of the four cycle tops: • $1,150 in 2013 • $19,700 in 2017 • $69,000 in 2021 • $120,000 in 2025 Total spent: about $210,000. Every purchase at the literal peak. At today's $64k, those 4 BTC are worth $256,000. Up 22%, having only ever bought tops. The absolute worst entries still made money. Time in the asset forgave the worst entries imaginable. Now imagine you had the opportunity to buy the bottoms...

They don't know wtf they're doing

This is what money does to people who sold their souls.

I'll tell you why people despise Elon: It's because he punches DOWN. He's the wealthiest man on the planet, he has a quarter billion Twitter followers (mostly botted, for sure), and he uses his immense power and influence to punch down. He deprived poor kids around the world of food, resulting in thousands of deaths. He hired a bunch of snot-nosed kids who cut and slashed and didn't have a clue what they were doing, f*cked shit up, and have not an ounce of remorse for what they did. He stirs up alarmist racial animus -- he loves to post videos of Black and White people fighting, trying to frame it as a race war that's happening now. It's not. He claims he's not racist because he f*cks a woman of color. Racists LOVE to lean on that bullshit. You know who else f*cked women of color? SLAVE OWNERS. You think THEY weren't racist? And you know what? He and his family lived a privileged life as white South Africans under apartheid. Look it up. If I had Elon's wealth, I would have already solved world hunger, and had more money left over than my great grandkids could spend in 20 lifetimes. I would be a damn HERO. I'd solve homelessness too. But that thin-skinned jackass used his wealth to basically curate the world's largest echo chamber to feed his goddamn ego with his groveling, soulless Muskite fans. He's trump with way more money and a slightly larger vocabulary. This woman did a GREAT job interviewing Elon. She skewered him, triggered the hell out of Mr. Moneybags. The guy who "doesn't care," he did the old "No, YOU are" arguing method. Real mature. He couldn't stand that this woman, who he looked at as beneath him, had the audacity not to quiver and bow to his pseudo "greatness." He's a fucking TRILLIONAIRE whose cuts directly caused the deaths of THOUSANDS of third world children. When I was a kid, and was about to throw away uneaten food, my Mom would say "Do you know how many kids are starving in Africa?" As a kid, I was expected to have more empathy for starving kids in Africa THAN THE RICHEST MAN ON THE PLANET has. He shouldn't do these interviews any more, not if he doesn't want to be completely reviled. He looks like a jackass. And it makes NO sense: his cars, the Tesla, were meant to appeal to people like me, the Libs, the progressives, people who actually believe that climate change is a thing! What does he do? Antagonizes the majority of us, having us look at other EVs like the Rivian or whatever. And I don't give a shit if Space Karen sees this. He's been crushing my signal strength ever since he bought this app, despite his declaring the return of so-called "free speech." The world's worst secret is that he's been propping up right wing accounts and throttling the rest of us. Honestly, I saw this video earlier today, and I barely skimmed over it. I haven't normally paid much attention to what he does. I don't follow him on Twitter, and didn't even care about his interview. But what struck me was how smug and entitled he was in the interview, like he couldn't believe she was talking to him like that. And then I remembered how all those kids died because of him. Anyway, THIS is how you interview power: be fearless, unafraid, come prepared with facts, push them all the way back. Elon looked like he wanted to jump out of his chair and hit that woman. BRAVO to her. We need more journalists like her. And f*ck the Epstein class.
