It’s so insane. Dystopian novel stuff. But the tech bris seem to forget that the corporate overlords are always the bad guys in these novels. Never the heroes.

Crazy talk, I know.

Greenland? We’re going to invade Greenland and destroy NATO? Am I on crazy pills?!

A thing I learned today. If you leave your EV in your driveway for three weeks charged at 73%, it will be at 71% when you return.

CBS’ rubbishing of its reputation was quick indeed

China added more grid-scale #BESS in Dec 2025 than the US did all year. One month vs one year. That’s not competition—it’s industrial separation. Batteries are now infrastructure there: cheaper power, tougher grids, faster electrification. The West didn’t fall behind on tech—it stalled on execution.

FYI, if you’re contracting with the Federal Govt, 🍊🤡 will set hard caps on executive comp, limits on dividends and stock buybacks. Welcome to the neo-statist economy of the 21st century.

Hero.
JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

These tv people are obviously bad faith actors or products of a failing educational system. Maybe both.

Stock buybacks are bad? Ok. Somebody call Bernie!

Ok. Almost time to head back to the reality of the end of the American era

Use that cash to “buy” Greenland? 🍊🤡

That was the whole Iran-Contra gambit - raise funds for the Contras buy selling surplus weapons to Iran and never letting the cash touch the Treasury. Was a stupid idea then and now!

Amazing.

Utter ignorance of the leadership clique on full display.

Total clusterfuck. Clown show.

If I were an investor in SpaceX, I would have questions.
