I’m going to NY next week and really appreciate the reminder to go eat at Katz again. 🤤

And its hella fun…

What I find most comical about this situation is just how little Trump actually cares about Christianity, yet his base completely ignores his track record. He’ll sell Bibles because it makes him money. He’ll do the Christian dance just as much as what is needed to fool his base into thinking that’s a part of his moral compass.

Power and money is what drives that man, and everything else is an illusion to gain the first two.

For an administration so desperate to cut back on global emissions, keeping cheap and apparently reliable foreign electric vehicles out of US market seems so backwards.

Looks like https://youtu.be/9TjUWnAK0cg?si=A3_SR6Ih7JfB4yM- and I’m all about it.

No doubt he’s a egotistical dick, but to say the world would be a better place without him is categorically false on many grounds.

• The man popularized electric vehicles like no car manufacturers have ever been able to do.
• SpaceX’s achievement in reducing the cost per pound and reusable rocket tech will have profound implications on our species survival over the long run.
• Starlink coverage now provides relatively affordable internet to far more remote areas of the world.

So while I think recent years of criticism is fair based on his behavior (why the hell is he wasting precious time on Twitter again?) to say the world would be better off without him is to overlook the substantial contributions he has made towards technological advancement and global connectivity. It’s important to separate the individual’s personal flaws from the broader value of their work. Just my 2 cents.

You can tell I’m more of a front-end guy 😄

A huge yet underappreciated impact on the modern world. People don’t realize how much work goes on behind the scenes to bring those apps/websites to life.

Thank you for all your contributions Simon. Rest in peace sir.

Yup, count me in on that. Where do I sign up?

Global warming aside, we went from industrial revolution to landing a truck-sized robot on the surface of mars in 250 years. I’d say that makes us pretty damn awesome.

Legislative Loafing is all the rage

What year is it?!

Somehow that still seems better than being Spectrum’s bitch

Words can’t describe the inner joy I felt making that call to cancel after I had Google Fiber installed. “No sir, there is no package or temporary deal you can offer me that’s going to change the outcome of this conversation.”

If the argument is which country has a better name for it, we Americans are calling it what it is, Kraft’s Mac & Cheese. It’s also served as a side dish a lot of the times, so calling it a “Dinner” implies it’s used as the main course.
