In an interview with Mother Jones for the digital magazine’s annual Criminal Justice issue, Elon Musk discussed the benefits of polyamory in the US, including the ability to establish a lasting bond with women with different sexual preferences.
“In America, you don’t have to go to a cab driver in order to set up dates with women,” Musk told Mother Jones. “I can have sex with just about anyone. It’s the real world.”

So to recap when this thread is being read 20 years from now:
the viral "pogo stick rental app" is actually an ad for an advertising firm

Take some Sudafed, drink some hot soup, maybe eat something really spicy since that tends to help.

so did a NBC affiliate, two Fox affiliates, SFGate, a CBS affiliate, an ABC affiliate, and the Wall Street Journal

Forbes noticed the ad company connection and reported it along the lines of "sure, this company has done a bunch of hoaxes, but they insist it's totally real this time"

the only outlet showing real skepticism is TheNextWeb, not normally known for their rigor

Dear Sweden,

You are adorbs--love your "Saturday Sweets"!

Just thought you should know that in the United States there is a thing called a "class action lawsuit", which is a tort with a large class as plaintiff. Judgements can be enormous. Just thought you should know.

the dreams of the delighting void

I just moved to nashville and the day after I arrived I went for a walk down by the river and a guy on a bike coming toward me came to a scooter from lyft in his way so he stop, gets off his bike, picks up the scooter and throws it into the bushes. It was really heroic and I told him it was cool when he rode past moments later.

it is real, depending on whether or view the fact that the first commercial use of this tech is to determine that patients with schizophrenia who have trouble complying with medication can be monitored through wireless signals located in a device implanted into them by experimenters wanting to impose mind control (Abilify MyCite)
