Brutal edit:

“So, I originally came out to California to try to figure out how to improve the energy density of electric vehicles – basically to try to figure out if there was an advanced capacitor that could serve as an alternative to batteries. And that was in 1995… So, I decided to drop out… And I did some Internet stuff, you know. I’ve done a few things here and there. One of which is PayPal.”

Hmmm… so here we establish he was actually trying to get into the US.

“Yes, so…my mother was born in Canada. Her father was American. But unfortunately she didn’t get her American citizenship, so then that broke the link and I couldn’t get my American citizenship. But she was born in Canada, so I actually filled out the forms for her and got her a Canadian passport, and me too. Within three weeks of getting my Canadian passport, I was in Canada.”

Gray area? 🙄

“I wasn't sure if what I worked on in the PhD would actually be useful.. So I was really concerned that if I-- Why, timing? Or
what was your intuition? Meaning it could be academically useful, but not practically useful.. It could result in a PhD and
adding some leaf to the tree of knowledge, but then discovering that, well, it's not really going to matter.. Is it going to be a
good enough thing to actually be used in an electric vehicle?”

EV’s? 😂 or undocumented?

The story of Elon Musk: In his own words.

His story changes more than Trump’s makeup.

Tucker Carlson: “People are like, ‘Oh, well, we had another hurricane, must be global warming.’ No! It‘s probably abortion, actually. You can’t kill children on purpose....You can’t participate in human sacrifice without consequences.”

Whew… people thought I was crazy, but yelling in the morning really does make the sun rise.

Sure, Jan.

Tucker Carlson: "I mean, Elon Musk joked to me, and he has, I think, many times, that he's going to go to prison if Trump loses. I don't know if he's going to prison but he'll be destroyed for sure, and he's doing it anyway, so that gives a lot of different people heart."

Wait… do the words coming out of your mouth connect to one another? How will the world’s richest man be destroyed?

This makes zero sense.

Carlson makes ex-President mic face on Elon.

“During a portion of the hit that claims that American ‘values were labeled shameful,’ the advertisement features a still shot taken in Germany during 2012, according to Getty, which sells the image. Two more clips from the ad were taken from Thailand—a model in Thailand dressed as a construction worker appears with narration questioning if America can make a comeback“

This is Trump’s people using images from other countries and pretending they’re of America.

The Doctor makes an observation about Trump:

#DoctorWho

This is what power does to people: it makes them insensitive to others.

Jon Stewart and John Oliver made jokes at our expense. They didn’t speak truth to power, instead arguing that both sides are equal.

Now we have Oliver crying for people to fix his mistakes and Stewart coming to the defense of a racist.

Wow, this is so fucked up.

And Jon Stewart goes full metal racist. I’m not surprised.

Wyatt Cenac: “People seemed surprised Jon’s criticism was towards the media and not Hinchcliffe, who he called ‘very funny,’ excusing the comedian’s participation in a xenophobic rally as the fault of the organizers for booking a ‘roast comedian.’ Having worked for Jon, his response wasn’t really surprising. Disappointing but not surprising.”

Sad Stewart is to the right of many Republican politicians.

“We will build a missile defense shield, all made in the USA—wrapped around our country to defend ourselves and our country. It’s all gonna be made in the United States, and a lot of it in your great state. We’ll put Herschel Walker in charge of that little sucker.”

Oh.

So Trump wants to put a man on missile defense who can’t even remember which Trump to vote for?

That sounds on brand

You’re literally paid to be a spokesperson for his PAC.

“‘There is no prize to be won, instead recipients must fulfill contractual obligations to serve as a spokesperson for the PAC,’ Gober said, referring to Musk‘s pro-Trump America PAC, Reuters reported.”

“‘Though maybe some of the other things Musk was doing were of murky legality, this one is clearly illegal,’ Hasen wrote on his dedicated Election Law Blog.“

Or, according to Amazon, social media software isn’t open source if you have no subscribers.

As you see, this is a simplistic and silly argument. Like arguing a compiler isn’t open source unless you have something to compile. Goofy.

I call bullshit:

"The simple fact remains... it allows you to build an AI system binary from proprietary data sources and call the result 'open source,' and that's simply wrong. It damages every established understanding of what 'open source' is, all in the name of hoping to attach that brand to a 'bigger tent' of things."

An open source database is still open source sans data. Like an AI it’s useless sans data. Amazon’s argument, at best, is non-sensical.

Partner told me about ticker tape synaesthesia that is genetic.

Huh.

The only genetic stuff I have is shit that will kill me.

There is no amount of context that makes this look normal.

Can you imagine Trump is talking to a world leader then pretends to have oral sex?

Yet there he was, on stage, doing that very thing.

And some people are arguing it’s missing context!

Seriously, what kind of context makes this look normal in a world leader? Grandpa simulating oral sex may be normal on Only Fans…
