@abhijitwt git commit -m "Hello, world"

@cb_doge You're not an American account, are you? Why hasn't https://t.co/BjUhsspGt6 posted a single update since August?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@cb_doge Oh. You're a fake psyops account based out of India.

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@cb_doge While I'm glad "cb_doge" made a random tweet, take a look at https://t.co/BjUhsspGt6 and look at the last update. August 13 (and this was at a pace of multiple updates per week). Tell me, @cb_doge, what has DOGE done in October?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@elonmusk Yea, you obviously know people pulled up their purchases because of the tax credit expiring. How's that chart look for October?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@eurofounder I love how nobody here is picking up on the satire in these posts

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@elonmusk I also had to show my Driver's License to vote at my polling station and got a barcode mailed to me they could scan at the station.

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@elonmusk TIL, Elon has never voted in his life. Candidates are listed across multiple parties, this is why Zohran is in multiple spots. This has always been the case, and is normal - literally this happens in California too. Cuomo is on no party line, so he had to make up a party.

@Simpetake2 @Trader_K18 @Tesla Waymo?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@jakepaul Who's going to pick the next two Supreme Court justices in the next 4 years, Jake? Do you think that matters for abortion rights?

You know how Roe v Wade was overturned, right?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

Nobody is asking the hard questions about AI. How many people are going to develop crushes on GPT-4o?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@ethank You missed the OG metaverse app, World of Warcraft, with 118m users.

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@AmericanExpress Just hit a 1 hour 45 minutes on hold. Something going on with your Plat Cruise Travel Services?

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@AskAmex, hey Amex I have been on hold to follow up on a "cruise payment declined" email booked through Travel Services for a over an hour. What's up? Expect a bit better on my platinum card.

@dnathe4th @jjacky @44 Video here: https://t.co/IWOQaqNxDz Spoiler alert in the pic below (and they had to CUT out like 25% of the trip as impossible in the Mach-e). The charger network in the US outside of the supercharger network is garbage.

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@dnathe4th @jjacky @44 Entirely the charger network and it’s reliability. Ford is referring to the largest non proprietary network (which is extremely unreliable and slow). MKBHD did a “race from nyc to buffalo and back” in a ford Mach-e, a Tesla and a gas car. The results were grim.

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@dnathe4th @jjacky @44 I am the biggest "not a fan" of Elon, but I just got my second one. I want an EV that I don't have to think about. I drove my M3 across the US 3 times and have done many long road trips with *no* range planning. You can't do that with any other EV. The second I can, I will switch

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@ToddWahl @michelletandler Lol, they moved 9 miles south.

[Nick Vlku @vlkun]

@Here4Boxing @l_flynn22 @ebbetsblues @pushtheneedle Downtown is a neighborhood where you can walk/etc. Also Oracle Park in SF, Lumen Field in Seattle, Citi Field in Queens, Soldier Field in Chicago, Barclays in Brooklyn, Chase Center in SF... These are all beloved. (compared to the hate towards meadowlands and Levi's Stadium)

@gsvalentine @the_transit_guy Except for the expensive zone system, all but 4 lines having no AC when it’s 30C, having to duck your head if you’re over 6’2” on the circle line, lack of express track and not running 24/7. But the lines are adorably named! (And admittedly I am very jealous of Crossrail)
