In 2022, a group of SpaceX employees wrote an open letter asking the co to distance itself from Elon Musk's online behavior. They were fired and the NLRB opened an investigation.
Then Musk funded Trump's election win. Now, the Trump NLRB has dismissed the case.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

1. "Oh, lawd, everything is fucked" is that translation; 2. "millions" my ass, and do those laborers count in the jobs numbers and further, why aren't those "millions" of jobs already being filled by the cream of white American workerdom?
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

Lindsey Vonn's Olympic teammate sets armchair skiing experts straight
When you hook a gate at high speed, as Vonn did in the Olympic downhill, there is little chance of making a recovery, said Keely Cashman.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

The problem with the way America is, is that there are only two parties and one of them is perfectly fine with the way America is. Politicians that pledged to uphold the Constitution and protect citizens have, in essence, said, "Nah, staying in power is more important. Fuck those people."

Exactly this. As an athlete at the top level, you do the risk calculus and you take the shot. Sometimes, the math just doesn't work out. Had she made the exact same error absent the ACL injury, the narrative would have been entirely different. Glad she clarified.

I could call speedskating better than this dire caterwauling person on Eurosport, whose nattering also made watching track cycling European championships a chore, despite the athletic briliance on display.

I don't even buy from places that force you to make an account to shop there. Eff that. Many, many more places in Europe have guest checkout. It's nice.
Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad
Discord will soon require face scans or ID for all users, or restrict access

And yes, the kilo is just as brutal on skates as it is on the bicycle. It's that horrible middle sprint distance where the last lap or so is just hanging on for dear life to the speed you have built up.

Suzanne Schulting had made the transition from short to long track with (so far) nowhere near as much success. Catching up with the 1000m speed skating.

You still give the best skiier the shot. You watch them train and you make the decision. Keep beating this all you want, but if ANY of the other skiiers were fast enough, Vonn wouldn't have run. The backstory just made it cooler. You won't ever admit that, so this is just silly at this point.

Standings are the standings. And yes, it is because you understand who is skiing well. And argue all you want, but national federations make decisions based on who is skiing well. Vonn couldn't get the weight down right because of the knee. She took the shot, it didn't work. Onward.

And people are acting like it was some sort of charity thing. She was skiing her ass off this season, and led the World Cup standings in DH coming into the Games.

Not more important. But it's part of the story. Through the last World Cup downhill, guess who is leading the standings in downhill? It's why people need to watch the events leading up to the Olympics. Vonn earned her shot. Wiles or Mollin? I'd rather take my shot on a damaged Vonn.
