I finally saw Good Dinosaur a few years back.

I found it hateful - and I mean that in the sense that it angered me and was actively distasteful. Unpleasant, miserable, ugly movie - Cars 2 finally dethroned as the inarguable worst thing Pixar has ever done, and movie has Larry the Cable Guy making tired, borderline-racis…

Fame, the film and the soundtrack, and Irene Cara were huge back in 1980. When I’ve thought of Irene Cara over the years (for one reason or the other), I always pictured her as she looked back then. I am really saddened to learn of her passing. It’s almost as if I’ve lost a small but significant piece of my 20's.

I thought that was The Good Dinosaur. Nobody seems to remember that, even though it got mostly positive reviews. A Bug’s Life is memorable if for nothing else that it was such an early Pixar movie from the days when every Pixar movie was a big deal as they were the animation studio that could do no wrong (probably Cars…

Man, every time I manage to forget about the movie Shark Tale someone has to remind me it exists ಠ_ಠ

Wait, $kaycog got banned? I thought she just stopped showing up after she quit rewarding COTD with lovely ladies in various states of undress. 

I’ll just point out the obvious here. Tesla has a market cap of over $500 billion. EVEN IF they bought back $10 billion (do they actually have that much cash on hand?), that’s 2% of the value. Tesla stock is sitting at about $183 today, up from $169 yesterday (nice). The math without hype says you’ll gain a whole…

As Musk publically unravels and reveals himself to be a nasty ball of petty, right-wing hatefulness, I think people are finally admitting to themselves what they’ve known deep down all along, Tesla’s wildly high valuation is mostly smoke and mirrors.

Come on, now, we all know what really sets the stock price is sheer hype and false promises. And Tesla can deliver hype and false promises in spades!

As someone who’s owned an RX-8 for years, it took me a moment to realize that the concept shown wasn’t the production model. What gave it away was the striations on the hood.

1st Gear: ...nah. Stock is partial ownership in a corporation, not a guaranteed investment. You’re buying the right to a say in corporate activities, not a license to print money. That part is purely speculative. If you want a guaranteed return, go buy some Treasuries or open a money market account. Corporate stock…

Imagine creating/perpetuating a system where a person like Musk can become the wealthiest person in the world. We really done fucked up.

I don’t want to see a TSLA stock buyback. It used to be illegal to use your profits to buy your own stock. We don’t need the board to show confidence in TSLA, we need them to sack Elon and put someone competent in his place. He’s clearly the problem, not some supply/demand issue. Fool me once..

Maybe he can buy WeWork, too, and change it into HardcoreWork. HardcoreWork is rental office space that:

This can’t be repeated enough; Musky is a goddam south african wannabe supervillain, bent on poisoning american politics, after sucking off the teat of the american government for years.

I read a pretty good post “purportedly” by a former SpaceX intern. It basically said that the SpaceX had created an infrastructure around dealing with Musk—basically, a whole infrastructure around dealing with an unreasonable/crazy boss. Unfiltered Musk would still leak out but since it was contained, it would likely…

Fuck that. If he buys MySpace, I’m totally shutting down my nu-metal band’s page.  There’s this new thing called Facebook.  Maybe I’ll move it there.

Third Gear - the counterpoint is that less demand for service means that it should be easier to attract and retain more and better-qualified techs for the fewer positions being required. All service operations, not just dealerships, are (going to be?) facing (and balancing) the whole supply and demand part, with both…

Yeah, he shouldn’t get charged with murder, the AG (probably pushed by the police union) is just a tool.
