The Question IRL posted:This explains Bad Blood and Elizabeth Holmes so well. The business practice of "If I just hold out for long enough, I'll become an established brand and then no-one will dare say that our product is just a box filled with tissue paper and dead wasps." It worked for Tesla.

Tesla is a funny one, because the initial company, pre-Musk, was a good idea - selling luxury EVs for seed funding to design cheap consumer EVs. Then the world's richest moron took over and made the design process hilariously shoddy and now it almost entirely relies on environmental tax credits to not haemorrhage money. An actual "thanks, Obama" issue

This is all performance art right? The same people who 20 years back would be going on about "the Tate modern is all people's wet knickers these days, not proper art like the hay wain crossing the river" doing the same.

Despite losing, it's done its job with human glory hole Ed Balls doing his best impression of Richard Madely this morning, fawning over farage and teasing him about becoming a Tory MP in the next election. It's the occams razor road to power for him. He'll join the tories and then spend the next Labour election cycle using his TV personality popularity to become leader, followed by him uniting all of the right wing and racists together (along with the financial backing and everything else under the control of Tories) to eek out the 30 odd percent of English votes he needs to win a general election under FPTP. It might read like doom and gloom, but what other routes do they have to power at this stage other than doing an "under new management" approach.

Incoming mass defection of Tory donors MPs to labour. Conservatives become the be UKIP, Starmer wins, announces Labour rebranding to be more in line with "sensible adult politics" Changes logo to a tree and color to blue. SCG says this is "deeply concerning" but they'll focus on their constituencies for now, before being deselected. Everyone claps themselves on the back with how adult and sensible they are.

Tesseraction posted:lol my phone alerts told me about Farage coming third and apparently it's despite his supporters trying to rig it in his favour Arguably the fact he finished third probably means whatever the TV company pay him would be far higher than if he was kicked out after week 1. With what he got, he might be able to reopen his bank account in Poshos Bank for Richie Rich types for a while six extra months.

They paid him £1.5mn for his appearance on the show, so him going week one would have been money for basically nothing. This way he committed to the last week and got nothing to show for it.

If I were in his shoes I would have taken the money, gone there for the first day, enjoyed the beach trip and then said "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" and joined Ant and Dec for the plane home. I presume there's some kind of guardrail to prevent this kind of comedy outcome.

The WhatsApp thing with Rishi is funny because anyone who has WhatsApp ( ie most of the population) knows that messages don’t disappear when you change phones. It’s a blatant lie. And they know we know it’s a lie. But no one gives a poo poo.

Messages disappear if you disable the auto-backup, or if you happen to change phones before certain incriminating texts happen to be auto-backedup. Both of which would be pretty convenient, but I'd least understand a Govt device where cloud backups are turned off by default
