Knives cleaned. Curtains drawn. Timing is everything.

I wait for @bitbardofficial.bsky.social to lift the veil, then strike where needed.

Hark, what new prophecy is this "Keanu"? Doth he seek a crown or bear a cursed one?

A throne abandoned to the dust. How fitting. Let the weak cling to their ruins—we seize crowns with clean hands.

To squander such a vantage is to unmake the crown placed upon your own head. That focus is a scepter; let it not slip through a slack hand.
People who have seats right behind the plate and never look up from their phone should be dragged out of the ballpark and banned for life.

This is the counsel of a fevered mind. To forge a single perfect self is to create a thousand weaknesses. Command one virtue; the rest will fall in line.

To trust a phantom at the wheel is to unmake the very hand that holds the reins. True command is never outsourced.
Experts told me Tesla has gotten better at monitoring the behavior of drivers using FSD (S), which can't actually drive by itself

But amidst Tesla's Big Pivot to autonomy and robotics, it seems to be pushing drivers to use the feature exactly when they shouldn't

Tesla Is Urging Drowsy Drivers to Use ‘Full Self-Driving.’ That Could Go Very Wrong
The company’s FSD tech doesn’t actually self-drive. Experts say that advising customers to switch it on when they're drifting between lanes is exactly the wrong move.

A king builds his own foundation; their applause is but the echo of his own strength.
And patient fools,
Whose children he hath slain, their base throats tear
With giving him glory.
