I put this in another thread, but it was an excellent (albeit long) read.

This is the full #Elon interview at the Dealbook Summit. It's a hot mess and he's clearly on something(s).

He talks multiple times about how "Earth" is his judge. He talks like the guy in college who discovers shrooms and Dianetics on the same night.

#Introductions Set up my account here in 2018 as a backup to the Bird so I didn't get nic jacked, but didn't post until Melon Husk closed in.

I don't actually kill planets, I read mysteries and speculative fiction. 📚

I should block this number, but I think it's kinda funny. Anyone else think Ebony might be a pro? 🤣

I'm getting nowhere clearing stuff off my phone, LOL! Time for bed.

This is a damned classic. 😂

I have no idea which company he was subtweeting about and that's actually scarier. 😱

Dril knew.

One of the greats. Gone, but he lives on through his tweets.

This is followed by deleting your account, changing your name, and moving to different state. 😂

I have had this saved for years, across multiple devices. Every time I start to delete it, I get the giggles. It survives another culling.

Truth.

Also, the Kentucky Derby is the crown jewel of Amish NASCAR and country music is Farm Emo.

Just a random Twitter moment when Mike Godwin explains to William Gibson what a thot is. 🤣

From the saved tweets collection.

OMG! The Magnificent Bastard followed me to the bathroom, hoping for some food. He jumps up on the edge of the tub to make his leap to the food counter just as I flip the light off.

I guess it distracted him as I heard a mighty thud when he gracelessly leapt and slammed into the side of the cabinet.

He's fine. I gave him treats. But boy does he look pissed. 😂

UN Resolution on Palestine.

The successful outcome of the vote expands Palestine’s rights within the United Nations — including the ability to introduce or co-sponsor legislative proposals — but falls short of granting Mansour’s delegation the right to vote.

(I'm ineligible because it is "hybrid", I work from a different state, and love working remotely. All my teams are remote. I don't actually trust people who don't trust their people, yanno?)

While I am on vacation, the same ED will be discovering I am on the search committee for a position to which they will report.

I'm on the committee because I'm the only person that meets and exceeds the requirements of the position and has practical experience.

Let the games begin. 😈

(Oh, I will absolutely get the best possible candidate who groks why silo busting is step one.)

OK, so that was fun. For those of you following my team's project disaster...

ED (Exec Dr): We're going to need access to [spreadsheet of data]. We noticed your API key request tool was down.

Me: Yes. We have learned from our recent project that no data sharing agreements exist with your unit, so every request will need to be vetted individually with our partners and approved. Naturally, we limited automatic requests. You understand, of course.

ED: Ouch.

Me: Such is life. 🤷
