Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning ‘had the great idea’. Elon just bought a seat on the board then pushed them out to pasture when they didn’t like input like ‘carbon fiber go brrr’. His grift is that he maybe saw that you could build a giant golf cart people would actually want and would be easier to build because…

• The idea that China engineered COVID as some kind of weapon and deliberately set it loose is insane

I totally get it, and sorry for your loss. I lost my father to COVID early in the pandemic (April of last year), and I still feel awful whenever someone I liked or respected shows that they’re not taking this stuff seriously (or worse, that they go down these conspiracy BS rabbit holes). 

““I would try to reach out to fellow musicians and sometimes I just don’t hear from them anymore,” Clapton said. “My phone doesn’t ring very often. I don’t get that many texts and emails any more. It’s quite noticeable.””

This sucks. And hurts. My father loved Clapton. Worshiped at his alter of guitar playing to the point of handcrafting his own amp to duplicate the amp Clapton used on the legendary John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album. Owned multiple Strats, of course. Could play pretty much any Clapton solo note for note.

Haven’t accomplished a damn thing in our lives? I once did that thing where you put a pile of coins on your elbow and swing your hand down to catch them, and I’m pretty sure I got, like, 75% of those coins. A lot clattered under the couch, but still. Checkmate. 

I’ve also never ate shit. And yet, I can feel comfortable judging that without doing so as well.

And yet Elon will never notice you.

“I’m here to talk to you about the Hamilton Initiative.”

Maybe self-sabotaging behaviors?  It’s the food bank I’m laughing it.  It’s nice of him to volunteer at a food bank and all but it’s a weird remedy for jacking off on camera to your coworkers.

So, how do you feel about watching any new content from Ruebens, Paul?

But everyone remembers his other mitt loads so is it worth it?

For anyone confused about why CNN brought him back, just ask yourself, where in the world is CNN going to find another late-middle-aged white man to provide legal expertise on the air?

“although he also didn’t give a particularly strong rationale for why, in the name of god, he’d ever want to put himself on television, and thus in the all-seeing eye of the internet, ever again.”

Yep, being a senator is tough.

It’s an essay / analysis, not a review, which is why it’s not under the reviews section.

Some authors here have definitely disappeared up their own asses and the tabloid feel of the place has been getting stronger and stronger (and god knows I’ve been ranting about it), but I don’t think it’s possible to write an analysis of Bo Burnham’s Inside without talking about the intersection between anything-goes…

An article about a guy having his own reckoning is the one that feels like the morality police to you...?

Not an airport, no need to announce your departure folks.

This article seemed to upset some people enough so that they feel the need to announce that they won't be reading this site like anyone gives a fuck.
