The sad thing is that Matt used to be a genuinely good writer and reporter. And I’m not just saying that because he had the best book on the 2008 collapse, he used to post things that would earn empty quotes here. He referred to Sarah Palin’s rallies as “like Gidget addressing the Reichstag” and said this in 2008:
“Here's the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore. And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket.”

90% of the responses to Elon, even from his paying fans, are “this doesn’t work, I’m in the queue for months, this doesn’t work”. Which makes me think he’s hired zero of the hundreds of people it will take to creators. And every Nazi he gives a buck to costs him $10,000 in Germany. lol

I don’t think anyone has made so many amazingly stupid decisions in anything ever, this is like 1999 WCW

even if Elon could normally win, he’s got dozens of lawsuits pending. Even a good legal team would miss layups if they’re buried in legislation.

I don't think the death of Elon Musk would make an iota of difference towards a better world and would probably in a small way aid the continued building of the panopticon and propaganda machine.

it would return competence to three+ companies. That’s a victory for human morale at least. And his kids would be happier.

In a well funded district in the mid-2000s, laptops came in a big cart. I guess it was easier than computer labs.

The computer lab taught technical things, like Photoshop and yearbook creation. The ones in the TV lab had editing software.
