And remember, Thiel had to marginalize Elon at PayPal because Elon was an even bigger idiot

We're not gifted enough time on God's earth to pay attention to rage baiters. Block em early and often.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't shine lasers at aircraft. Simply do not! It's so much easier to NOT do things, and this is one of the things you should NOT do! Think of it as clearing your schedule to make room for good things to do.

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

We've had to sit here and patiently watch Elon learn over the course of 9 years that you shouldn't try to catch a falling knife and then he shows up at Brain Genius Summit 2025 covered in bandages and flanked by sages to say he's invented the phrase "don't try to catch a falling knife"

A long time ago I had a roommate who created the absolute worst rap you've ever heard about like Alex Jones stuff. But I could be like, "I'm gonna be honest dawg, I don't like this and I'm not gonna listen to it."

But these guys, there's no escape. And the media is like "LOOK at my special boy"

Look, sure it's bad that these guys are placing demolition charges on the pillars of democracy. That sucks. But it's also awful that they expect us to sit here and clap while they show us the dumbest shit they created. Their fucked-up stupid little macaroni art shit.

The real way to do this is to force them to do so much goddamn paperwork that only process/ bureaucracy nerds are interested.

This is also a pretty funny dig at the New Wave TradCaths like the vice president who really care about the SYMBOLS and the RITUALS because anything other than deep orthodoxy is woke or whatever.

Like, "oh you complained the dish is bland?" *brings a plate that's nothing but a pile of salt*

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

keep in mind the same guys in the US pushing for an Argentina bailout also spooked each other in their group chat so bad they accidentally did a run on their own bank (Silicon Valley Bank) and collapsed it
