So does he accept Trumpcards

IP isn’t really the issue here. Musk doesn’t design or engineer anything. But he has legions of fans who give him generous amounts of cultural capital - not only rabid stans who spend all day on Twitter begging for his attention, but normal, not-terminally-online folks who just vaguely recognize him as “that science…

So this or a Raptor?

I think the fear on the part of the board is that Musk’s cult of personality is the real reason they actually sell cars. And that’s not a totally unreasonable fear, right? Like, no normie is going to order a cybertruck, that’s entirely a toy for rich techbro fans. So the concern would be that if they drive Musk out,…

Wait, so if Tesla doesn’t give Elon a huge pile of money they ALSO don’t have to waste their time and resources on a robotics program that won’t benefit their primary line of business?

Don’t. Let them weed themselves out.

Look

The MPAA dropped X after the porn industry successfully coopted it. NC-17 is essentially X now. I THINK the first theatrical cut of The Evil Dead is the last movie to be released under an X rating applied by the MPAA. Wikipedia informs me that this is because unlike other MPAA ratings, X was never trademarked since…

I think the Duke boys get a pass because they are explicitly anti-authoritarian. It’s like how a cross section of black southern rappers coopted the stars and bars back in the 90s. Rock is clearly supportive of an authoritarian system that he believes will unfairly benefit him, so he’s a very different use case.

As a science fiction adventure series starring a pacifist, most of Doctor Who is running and shouting. Except for the short-lived American reboot starring Charles Bronson, in which the Doctor just shoots every monster of the week in the face with a Colt 38 Special.

Man even the FIGHTS in NASCAR are boring huh

Can confirm the HHR is horrible. I found the electronic steering so numb I was never sure I was actually driving, it was horrifying.

Nice try gas cucks, clearly the FSD is planning to ramp BETWEEN CARS check and mate

Geralt and a team of scribes attempt to find wealth and notoriety by plundering the ancient Vault of Al’Capon

I’m fuzzy on what this means. Does it cut power to the rotor and let it autorotate to act as a wing (essentially flying like an airplane) or does it cut power to the wing engine that ISN’T counterbalancing the rotor and fly like a regular helicopter?

Bring back the Escort label!

LOOK

I’m not gonna lie, when Celebrimbor was like, a fun uncle instead of ghost batman like in Shadow of Mordor I was kind of bummed.

If you think I said a Supreme Court justice grifting millions to influence legislation is the same as your local city council officer receiving a wicker basket of snacks, you didn’t read what I wrote. Calm down.

The RV is just a visible symptom. Most bribes aren’t just money - that looks suspicious. Instead, lobbyists and other interested parties tend to subsidize a lavish lifestyle for the venal party. Congresspeople love to talk about how little they actually make, but if you play your cards right in Congress, you don’t…
