I feel like everyone I know still super into Harry Potter is female, a minority, or queer and was at exactly the right formative age where Harry Potter became the perfect teenage allegory for escaping an oppressive society and finding a new place of acceptance.

Which is why it extra sucks that JKR is a racist terf.

For what it's worth, I know a bunch of white male nerds who are quite into it. It's mostly just the age range, where I'm from. But I guess unlike my sister, those guys didn't spent years on fan fiction sites. She was just the worst with regards to that. I couldn't even bother to start the final book, because that felt to exhausting.

That's assuming that those ones aren't running on quantum. Maybe gender isn't just a scale, but an n-dimnsional contiuous hypercube.

This whole thing looks like what an early nineties videogame would consider a car. Low polygons and all. It probably runs at less than 60 fps and has screen tearing somehow.

I honestly don't know why anyone would genuinely like this design, other than ridiculous Elom fanning.

I mean, I'd just say, "No." But Musk somehow considers this a huge own.

I was just being pedantic since there wasn't any actual explicit question there. But of course that was implied.

Maybe it's a way to embezzle investor money. The domain is Elon's personal property and the company formerly known as Twitter pays 44 billion a year to him so they get to use it.

Aren't there still other idiots who own twitter shares? I thought Twitter Jack specifically still owned some.
As far as I understand, Elon does not own 100% of that pile of garbage.

Google tells me he owns about 80% of it. Certainly not everything. And honestly, if those rubes haven't seen the writing on the wall by now, they deserve to get squeezed.

I'm not sure what you think is happening. Twitter or X Corp or whatever doesn't have $44 billion to hand over to Elon for his domain name.

Obviously not. $44 Billion was an arbitrary ridiculously high sum of money nobody sane would ever spend on something ethereal like that.

100% guaranteed that was the plan all along. Illegally put up a half-assed cheap sign that can't be seen from the street below, get ordered to take it down, and turn the inevitable response into some good ol' fashioned Right Wing "California Lib Gov'ment" outrage online as some red meat to build some e-cred with his fart sniffers.

Did you miss those strobe lights? You sure as hell can see that atrocity from the street.


Don't get me wrong. Even by day, that sign is an eyesore, and a probable hazard. but this would literally tank property values in the area.

Next it will play some right wingers Elon's personal techno mix on a 10 second loop.

I was going to make a joke that no one has ever seen Elon and Jeffrey of YOSPOS in the same room together. But Musk is a man who can't even keep his sockpuppets straight, so that's just a silly insinuation.

Now I want a Batman story, where is fake Bruce Wayne persona is the biggest idiot of the world. Batman tries desperately to make the worst decisions imaginable to appear like a fool and gets depressed since so many people actually insist that he's a genius.

Honestly, me too. It sounds stupid and it absolutely is. But it could be quite entertaining nonetheless. Also you could probably come up with some cool appearances for the Cyberfeifolk. Also the way fei they have super obtuse and literal rules and will mess with you if you break them would mesh quite well with weird AI beings with dubious morale.
It could actually work quite well, yes.

It’s him being a pedantic akshully guy. The post he’s responding to said that everything we eat is a plant, animal, or fungus, not that everything we eat *comes from* one of those things. So it’s very technically correct: honey is not a plant or animal even though it comes from an animal. It’s just so pedantic to the point of being stupid.

Eh, honestly that's on the guy who made that stupid claim in the first place. Yes all biomass originally comes from the categories of living cells. That's the idea. And unless humans develop an alternative way to generate internal energy, that wont change. I think the guy just had his mind blown that mushroom aren't plants and needed to share his deep thoughts with the world. And Musk felt the need to correct the specific way that statement was formed.

Furthermore, you can produce sugar from CO2 without biomass, if you're so inclined.
