Region Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are in record territory, approaching 3 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean, an anomaly that has never happened before in recorded history.
The Climate 8-ball says: "four!"
@HLC_actual@NYCMayor Where did the mayor say he thought he had that money liquid? I'm sure the mayor of NYC understands basic tax breaks. He's saying the exact same thing you said; the rich know the system... because they lobby for tax loopholes. Elon getting a "loan" is basically untaxed cash.
@jewronimox@SpaceX Sure, on 5% of its stock and on its IPO day. The profit they'll have to make in 10-years, even if they had free cash flow now, would have to have 20% growth and total dividend returns. No RnD, no expansion, and no chance SpaceX delivers on their mission statement lol.
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
@jewronimox@SpaceX Optimistic as hell to think it stays at $140.
Grok is shit. The robots don't work. Self driving Tesla doesn't work. Starship is behind development.
He stumbled into a good business with Starlink and has exploded passed the quoted number of satellites to get approval. Let it die
Incredible. Scotland puts a wind turbine near Trump’s golf course in Aberdeen 20 years ago. He sues and loses. Then his resulting hatred of wind turbines now ends up with the US Secretaries of Defense & Interior fabricating absurd lies to justify killing wind energy in the US.
Literally can’t watch Seinfeld anymore, once one of my fave shows. This man is a disgusting and proud racist who doesn’t support the genocide of a people but doesn’t even recognize their existence. He should be shunned from polite society, but, y’know, the ‘Palestine exception’.
It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.
One meme about Abbie Shapiro’s Matzah Melons in Project Bluebeam and I’m no longer allowed to run ads on X. This has to be some kind of mistake. Right? I mean, surely I wasn’t blocked from running ad campaigns because I made a joke about Ben Shapiro’s sister and her ginormous Kosher Cannons projected into the skies of Tehran?
Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?
