Yeah as someone who lives at the bottom of a gravity well with 7 billion of their closest friends, I do not want Elon Musk building giant catapaults on the moon. In fact I think it's a terrible idea
Watching Eric Berger (historically a Musk fanboy) struggle with the revelation that Musk is a fake engineer conman white supremacist never loses its entertainment value
Why would Elon Musk pivot from Mars to the Moon all of a sudden?
SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon."

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.
Brendan Carr is also very excited for more local broadcast TV consolidation at the hands of the right wing!
You know, to improve competition, something Carr (who has rubber stamped every desire media and telecom giants have ever had) genuinely cares about

Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

the NYT war on weed can only be explained by 1) the utter reliance on "official experts" like police rather than "people" and 2) elite coastal mentality that hasn't seen people dying from opioids and alcohol on the regular and is instead upset with "the smell of weed."

A local man, active in the county Republican committee set the record straight after ICE tried to claim widespread illegal activity was happening. He was working the horse race as security and was zip-tied along with his daughter, a child. www.ktvb.com/article/news...
Hired to protect the crowd but instead found himself detained. Private security contractor speaks out about Wilder raid.
"The spectacle is what was wanted, and the spectacle is what they got," the private security provider said about being detained at the Wilder raid.
