The least surprising bombshell of all time. Scalia was the original trough snuffler—he literally died while living the high life at the ranch of a billionaire who had a case pending before the court.

From the NYT in 2016: When Justice Scalia died two weeks ago, he was staying, again for free, at a West Texas hunting

Fact check: 100% correct. 

Good. It’s absurd that life and death decisions like driving drunk are basically enforced by asking people nicely not to get behind the wheel impaired. Like speeding.

I’m starting to think this guy might not have been the white knight of crypto we were told he was . . .

And now this in The Guardian:

Haters gonna hate but this is Musk’s genius on display again. He’s taken another step on the path to achieving the singularity in social media by blending features of Snapchat and Twitter. 

Thanks for sharing, but anecdotes aren’t data.

The first thing I’d do if I had $100k in most of those places is buy a ticket for the first thing leaving town.

File under “a feature, not a bug.”

That’s one way to guarantee you get paid severance . . .

I’m mostly scared of the time I’ll never get back by watching it. 

Don’t need a steering wheel in a self-driving vehicle.

Not a fucking chance. 

They sure don’t make evil super geniuses as smart as they used to. 

It seems the real innovation of the FTX exchanges was that SBF and his crew streamlined the crime process by straight up stealing investor money instead of waiting for crypto thieves to do the job.
