@TesCalendar1 So, no sign of brand damage at all then

@rachelrwithers Resources? Clive spent $60m last time and all he got for it was this walking zucchini.

@samstein Lots will be anyway. As if he’s going to make any effort to make rational decisions off of what…3 MILLION emails?

@AnthropicDualiT The loss of the ability to have a discussion is very sad. I challenge everyone to seek to understand the other side rather than ‘win’. You’ll very likely find common ground.

@Acyn Everything he says is projection. Its amazing.

After all, there’s also a ‘big beautiful ocean’ between the US and Australia. No reason for them to bother putting their neck out for Aussies either.

Time for Australia to grow up. “We cannot assume that America has any altruistic regard for Australia.. “Our leaders have got to stand up for Australia, and we’ve got to have the ability to defend ourselves.” theguardian.com/australia-news…

@JLaelFletcher @HollyBriden Look, if the birds were better trained on radio procedures we could avoid these issues.

@niccruzpatane It’s true. In 5 years I’ve spend $398 on maintenance and a full charge costs me about $6.

We did not surrender when we were given three days and the American embassy was packing its bags. We did not surrender our capital when elite Russian units were in its suburbs. We repelled the enemy from Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy. We defeated them in the Kharkiv region. We liberated Kherson. And we tied them up in battles in the Donbas, which the enemy could not capture for three years. We invented FPV. And with drones for $500, we took out more than half of its armored potential. We paralyzed the Russian fleet. We destroyed dozens of refineries. We forced the enemy to burn entire brigades for the sake of one village, to fight in crippled regiments, to transfer to donkeys, and to become artillery dependent on the Koreans and economically dependent on the Chinese. For the first time in history, we entered the territory of a nuclear state in order to force the aggressor to make peace. And at the same time, no matter how difficult it was, we did not fall apart, we retained control. We won subjectivity. At a high price. Perhaps we are the last adults in this turbulent world. And no matter how hard we try to rock our ship, to undermine our inner stability, we will write our own future. And even if we are given a few days again, this does not mean that all the predictions will come true. Orest Drymalovskyi 🫡🇺🇦

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Republican Senator Thom Tillis breaks away harshly from Trump's policy on Ukraine, calling Vladimir Putin "a cancer, and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime." Make sure everyone sees this.

Musk has built two platforms (Grok and Community Notes) specifically designed to separate fact from fiction in an unbiased, algorithmic fashion. One uses humans (community notes) the other AI (Grok). In the last few months, both have been consistently and repeatedly calling @elonmusk out for spreading bullshit on X. So now he is going to "fix" Community Notes and next I'm sure we'll see him "update" Grok. It is actually incredible that he can't see the very products he created are trying to tell him something, and instead he is just going to deny reality and ruin the products for everyone else.

Key point for me: This is not about land, it’s about Ukraine’s very existence.

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

You can’t script this… Me: Who is the biggest disinformation spreader on X? Grok: Elon Musk x.com/i/grok/share/1…

Interestingly, NATO has been 130 km away from Saint Petersburg for over 20 years, and it has been totally okay all those years. The half of the Black Sea coastline has been under NATO for decades, and it was totally fine. Russia's Kaliningrad has been surrounded by NATO countries for over 20 years. Sweden and Finland (with over 1,000-km common border with Russia) join NATO, and Putin couldn't care less - no threat at all, in his words. But when it's Ukraine, which NATO refused to accept for like 20 years and doesn't want now, it is a "grave existential threat" to the world's biggest nuclear power, because of which it had to unleash the deadliest European bloodbath since WWII involving the North Korean military. Believe it or not, but it feels like it was never about NATO for Russia.

@montoya_test That would be my guess

Australia’s media bias is no conspiracy. It’s fucking true. And it’s there to keep Labor out of government. And it has worked many times. One example is, the last time the Liberal Party won government off Labor, a big part of that was because the media were screeching about the country’s debt. Which was significantly less than what it became after the Liberal Party were elected in 2013. Even the fact that Labor under Kevin Rudd managed to avoid a recession during the GFC wasn’t enough for Australia’s media to strike some sort of a balance. The debt exploded after the Liberals won government off Labor last time. And services were cut dramatically. There wasn’t one budget surplus from the Liberals in 9 years. After they swore they would achieve one every year. Labor are back in government and have achieved 2 from 2 budget surpluses. And they have actually invested in the public service. Created jobs. Expanded TAFE. Given many sectors a pay rise like Age care workers and childcare workers. Labor has cut the price of medicine. Have opened bulk billing urgent care clinics. And in all of this, Labor has still managed to achieve 2 from 2 budget surpluses. Without cutbacks like the Liberal Party were doing. Whist they didn’t achieve one budget surplus in almost a decade in government.

@StarCitizenDan It really does, never used ping so much as in Pyro.

@ryanjaycowan I’ve been following the market closely and I have to agree. Everything else falls short in some way. UI, software, safety, charging speed, handling, something is always lacking. Tesla offers the best overall ownership experience.

@ZenOfDesign @jgebbia Seems like a really good example how badly ‘doing your own research’ can lead one astray.
