"Opening up the brain of a living human to insert a device, particularly someone with serious medical problems, deserves more than a two-sentence report on what is, in effect, a proprietary social media platform not distinguished for its reliability where facts are concerned. This human research subject, their family, all potential future research subjects and patients, the medical community, and all of us deserve more."
@JorgeStolfi I agree. We all know that Elon is the world's foremost expert in literally every topic. His word shouldn't have to be accompanied by empirical evidence, or peer-reviewed study.
#ElonMusk's mother, #CruellaDeVille, is holding up her family as the pinnacle of legitimate immigration to give her POS son cover for his disgusting and reprehensible remarks related to immigration and the Southern border. All the money in the world, and these people spend their time punching down, and pretending to be the real victim.
#MAGA venture capitalist #PaulGraham believes #Twitter has gotten a lot better under #ElonMusk's control because he's not inundated with viewpoints other than his own. Of course, this is because Elon has welcomed #whiteSupremacists and #antisemites with open arms while openly discriminating against everyone else. The only people left on the platform are bigoted #MAGAts.
@slcw If you are still engaging with twitter block me. If you do not know how or do not have the honesty then just let me know you are still engaging with twitter so I can block you. Thanks.
#ElonMusk is a parasite who feels compelled to attach himself to every issue and every controversy, no matter how small. Imagine having all the money in the world, and spending your time inserting yourself into whatever issue is currently gaining traction. That is some weak sauce.
Excerpt: “Unlike Europe, the U.S. doesn’t require cars be tested for safety before they are allowed to be sold to the public,” said David Zipper, a visiting fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School whose work focuses on transportation policy.
“We let car companies decide for themselves when it’s safe,” he explained.
I miss the days when news outlets had journalists dedicated to specific topics.
"But about two and a half minutes into the flight, the two stages of the spacecraft broke apart. SpaceX shortly announced that it could not find a signal from the second stage, which it declared “lost”."
They didn't break apart - it was a clean separation of the booster. Then maybe 10 seconds later the booster exploded. The top stage continued on for 2.5 minutes headed toward Hawaii and they lost contact.
There's a massive missing story there.
Where is the upper stage? Where and when will it come down? Is anyone tracking it on radar? Is Space-X just going to leave an entire massive vehicle full of poisonous fuel to sink into the ocean? Are there implications if it crashed onto Mexico?
The Swedish painters union is now blocking all painting of Tesla cars in Sweden, in solidarity with their brothers and sisters in the Swedish metal working union, who is on strike against Tesla for their terrible working conditions.
@forteller You're talking ideology. I'm talking pragmatism. I'm telling you the results of this: these people will either lose their job or crawl back in a worse situation than they left.
If your ideology makes you happy with that outcome, then knock yourself out.
@nafnlaus And what's your solution, everyone should just roll over dead and let the handful of billionaires do whatever the fuck they want with the rest of humanity? What will be the outcome of that, you think? Have you ever enjoyed the fact that you can work 8 hours a day, not 18 or more, that you don't have to work weekends, that your workplace is not a death trap, pentions, vacations, a wage you can actually live off of and support others you care for? That is the pragmatic outcome of unions
But personally Twitter (I refuse to call it X) is more of a hellsite now than before, with a narcissist machist racist keeping amplifying openly Nazi voices, and everyone trying to answer it is subject to constant harassment by Elon Nazi supporters.
I don't think Twitter is any safe space for minorities (if ever was). And I personally think that instead of having petty fights on who is more marginalised or more white here
we should all work to make this corner of the web the space we constantly fail to turn Europe into: a real welcoming place, with no borders and gatekeepers, where people can truly form healthy communities.
Congratulations, Musk.
You’re a “Bond” villain. Better yet, let’s not romanticize things; you’re an asshole whose twisted politics and capricious actions can help crush democracies. There’s nothing like biting the hand that feeds you, right?
The Japanese earthquake warning system NERV
has moved from #Twitter aka #X to #Mastodon. Its developer Gehirn Web Services made its departure announcement on August 7. Japanese can no longer receive its earthquake warning on X. #China#Musk must be crying. 🤣 #fuckelon#japan#earthquake
