The effect that Musk mentioned was, “you can’t really get work done,” which feels less like “Google search” and more like “personal experience.” And I said that “it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point,” which feels like the right sort of certainty for this sort of conclusion from that evidence.

I wasn’t surprised when reading the rest of the comments in this comment section that somebody mentioned that he’s been known to use ketamine recreationally.

Hot Tub Time Machine 3 practically writes itself.

Last year, Musk told CNN’s Don Lemon that he has a ketamine prescription and uses the drug roughly every other week to help with depression symptoms. When Lemon asked if Musk ever abused ketamine, Musk replied, “I don’t think so. If you use too much ketamine you can’t really get work done,” then said that investors in his companies should want him to keep up his drug regimen.

I’m not completely sure what the criteria is for “abusing” ketamine, but since Musk seems to know what happens when you use too much ketamine, it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.

I don’t know specifically about elderly people, but I have heard it said that historically, people who cannot afford to eat have a higher chance of overthrowing their government.

And so it is often in a government’s interest to have some sort of social programs that provide food security.

Also, according to recent reports, people hate working with Musk. Each company has people who, if he ever shows up, part of their job is to keep him from interfering with people who are actually working. He’s basically a toddler.

So, the point is that, if it was just their past of working together, you’d actually expect Musk and Thiel to be enemies.

I’m guessing that they do actually get along, though, for the exact same reason that modern day Nazis have to stick together.

Elon’s legacy now is that he’s the foreign Nazi who finally took control of the United States government.

In America, shots get fired into people’s homes on a daily basis. That sort of thing doesn’t usually make even statewide news.

We should worry about fixing those other problems before worrying about some rich prick. If the rich person is so concerned about their safety, why don’t they just hire some private security?

I don’t see any reason why this is being treated as news.

Nancy Mangione.

This edit is done so well. Very believable.

In the original comic, she is asking for money to go to the circus, and the last panel shows her and the banker at the circus together eating ice cream.

The 14th Amendment states that people exactly like Trump have a “disability” that prevents them from holding office, which can be removed by congress. It also states that congress has the power to enforce it. The criteria for this disability is listed in the amendment.

The moment that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court swore in Donald Trump as President, while Congress refused to enforce the Constitution, all three branches of our Federal government conspired to overthrow the US Constitution.

If we don’t even follow the Constitution, then we are truly a lawless country.

“Be sure to drink your Ovaltine”

I remember when Musk bought Twitter and then immediately started trying to save money by literally just turning off services to see what breaks.

That actually wouldn’t have been the stupidest idea if he had done it in a test environment rather than production, or even if Twitter was a small website that didn’t mind downtime. But he did it in production on a huge site that people relied on being up, so it actually was the stupidest idea.

And now he’s bringing the same stupidest energy to government. No investigation. No calculation. Just a toddler who has been put in front of a lot of switches.

I’m guessing you’re basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven’t seen it:

Dear Mr. Cox:

Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

Very truly yours,

If you read into the article, it states

The annual CPJ report, which represents a snapshot of journalists jailed for their work as of Dec. 1, 2024, found 361 journalists behind bars around the world. That’s the second-highest number that CPJ has documented since it started keeping track in 1992.

So, in case anybody was wondering, yes, this is referring to journalists who were “jailed for their work,” and not just journalists who are in jail for whatever reason. I know you might have thought that was obvious, but I think it’s important to point these things out for other cases where the reporting might be more misleading.

It says they use publicly exposed or leaked IAM keys with RW permission to do this, in case anybody is interested in how they get in.

I don’t know too much about HV, but I thought that even the crazy path shown in the picture was still the path of least resistance. Is that wrong?

Some monks train their bodies either as part of their prayer or meditation, or train in order to be able to pray or meditate longer. They don’t usually end up with arms that look like that, though.

True enough for urban areas.

There’s also a lot of more rural areas in Japan where the only thing in walking distance from a house is a bus stop, and it might be a bit of a long walk.

I’m sure there are more remote places, but I haven’t been to those places.

Booth was a pretty famous actor in his day, and was regarded as handsome. He had very dark eyes which was unusual.

His plan to kill Lincoln was sort of spur of the moment. He had actually planned to kidnap him, but decided to assassinate him when the opportunity arose. After killing Lincoln, Booth went on stage (I think this was the point where he injured his foot) and said that he did it because Lincoln was a tyrant. So he essentially confessed on the spot.

His escape plan was similarly poorly thought out and executed.

He’s basically the Civil War era’s version of an influencer who has bought into conservative propaganda out of sheer stupidity. Were he alive today, no doubt he’d have been one of those insurrectionists on Jan 6 2021.

He was a recurring character on the show. According to imdb, he was in 7 episodes.
