also is there a source of his mars teraform banner pic?

having such a large super continent probably wouldnt be that green, but whatever im not an ironrickman.

I think it's from a Mars Society publication. I know there's a similar image used in The Mars Underground movie which I think was produced by them (link should be time-stamped but if not it's at 1:09:47).

Elon Musk�s whirlwind first week at Twitter: 8,304 miles by private jet

By Hamza Shaban
November 4, 2022 at 6:49 p.m. EDT

Flight data shows the $70 million Gulfstream jet crisscrossing the country as Musk bounced around from meetings to parties.

Flight 1: Hawthorne, Ca. to San Jose
Flight 2: San Jose to Hawthorne, Ca.
Flight 3: Hawthorne, Ca. to Teterboro, N.J.
Flight 4: Teterboro, N.J. to Chantilly, Va.
Flight 5: Chantilly, Va. to San Francisco
Flight 6: San Francisco to San Jose
Flight 7: San Jose to Teterboro, N.J.

In his first week atop Twitter, Elon Musk has gotten around: preparing the massive layoffs that started late Thursday, meeting with civil rights groups and advertisers, attending a Space Force event and Heidi Klum�s Halloween bash. His manic schedule is illustrated by the 8,304 miles his private jet logged in that time, hopscotching from coast to coast.

I edited my post a few back about tracking his plane with an article I found on WaPo.... seems he was at Heidi Klum�s do that weekend.... of course it's possible he went to both. Hers was on the 31st in New York, Tate's was on the weekend (the Saturday was the 29th of October).

There's also this in Vice....
https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgymaj/an-alleged-billionaire-halloween-party-at-draculas-castle-sent-romania-into-a-frenzy

quote:

While we know celebrities were in Romania given the paparazzi evidence, there doesn't seem to be much backing up most of the specific claims about who attended, however. There are videos of helicopters arriving, darkly tinted luxury cars and vans pulling up, and groups of lanky pale-skinned people huddled around them. Hallmarks of the rich and powerful, sure, but relatively little in the way of identification.

Thiel and his husband and co-investor, Matt Danzeisen, are the only ones actually photographed by tabloids in Romania. MediaFlux published pictures of the pair entering Mercedes vehicles allegedly at Henri Coandă International Airport. The outlet later posted photos reportedly showing the two entering a helicopter headed for Bran, although only Danzeisen can clearly be seen. Another outlet posted grainy paparazzi photos that it said depicted Entourage star Adrien Grenier boarding a similar helicopter.

...and we know musky and thiel are connected so :shrug:

edit: Unfortuanately the WaPo article didn't have dates for when he arrived in NJ.

"Romanian media outlet Media Flux reports that Musk rented the entire castle for himself and his friends to enjoy, with guests rumoured to be in attendance including PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, Google�s co-founders Sergei Brin and Larry Page and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.

Elsewhere, Swedish actress Julia Sanstrom was also rumoured to be present, after she shared stories of herself in Transylvania, and dressed as a vampire on her Instagram.

Other Romanian media outlets reported that Dracula�s Girls, a well-known cheerleader group from T�rgoviște will also be present, but full details, and what happened, are not yet revealed."

Interesting....

quote:

On Saturday, 29 October, Musk took to Twitter, and said: �Fresh baked bread & pastries are some of the great joys of life�.

This was in turn interpreted by the publication Romanian Insider as Musk enjoying Romanian bread and pastries, which are traditionally given to guests as a welcome.

Fascinating.

a dollar store katana

seems to be this one, and if you're buying katanas on amazon, you've gone a step beyond cringe. this was of course getting swung around by everyone, it wasn't even really sharp, and the blade was absurdly thick. like, a quarter inch thick. the owner will be extremely lucky if they get this since it came down the belt with no box.
