It’s gonna take me some time, but eventually I hope to crack the case of why we live in a world run by billionaires who seem to be - emotionally - 8 year old schoolyard bullies. Problem numero uno: WHO is responsible for enabling these a-holes so that we have to actually deal with the 8 yr old billionaires’ fallout?
From the person who coined the phrase:
Aye, and i think i gotta watch some Thomas Tank Engine now, too…!?
Doing so online allows one to hear a huge sucking sound as a vacuum environment develops. Don’t wanna blow your speakers, so turn the volume down beforehand.
(Quite certain I first saw this here on the BBS)
This will also do nicely:
It’s been a while since we talked/thought about Thomas in this household, so thank you for that.
Needs moar legs
… why, did something happen to Rob Ford
Twitter Spaces are back, but…
More legs you say?
Not Thomas related, but still a creepy train
Or perhaps
Musk: Show me the Spaces servers at once!!
Exasperated Engineer Who Needs This Job: um,sir, the servers are a virtual instance on AWS. They spin up and down dynamically according to load
Musk: Where is this “AWS” then?
EEWNTJ: well, all over the world, but our instances are mostly hosted on US1-East which is in Virginia
Musk: I’LL BUY THIS “VIRGINA” THEN AND NOW THEY CAN NO LONGER TEASE ME. storms out
EEWNTJ exhales
…and pokes distractedly at his wastebasket fire before returning to the warmth of his cot, nestled away at the back of the phone closet.
I heard the replay of that shit show.
Classic corporate CEO. Used to hearing nothing but yes and seeing nothing but bootlicking and gets buthurt immediately when that doesn’t happen.
And about Space Karen and “FREEZE PEACH!!!”.
amphetamines are more likely. they’d explain his ( self reported ) long working hours, his galaxy brain of a thousand mostly unworkable ideas, and his quick turns to paranoia
they’re all pretty classic abuse behavior
There was a lot of chatter, in the beforetimes, about adding an amendment so that Arnold Schwarzenegger (also a naturalized citizen) could become president. If it didn’t happen for a popular actor that people actually like/liked, I can’t see it happen for Musky. As desperate as the QGP might be to run not-Trump, Elon isn’t really a better alternative in terms of electability.
