In the life of every artist, every real storyteller who isn't just a hack, there are moments when he looks at a blank page, knows what it needs to be filled with, and he's... afraid. It's too raw. Too close to reality. It shines too much light into the messy basement of the human psyche. Talks too honestly about the things we're all ashamed of. Or afraid. Everyone will think he's evil. Or a pervert. Or a cynic. Or a naive idealist. Or a fool. He knows he needs to write this, but he doesn't know if he dares. But those are the greatest pages we will ever write. The brightest light is closest to the fire. Message me if you need help.

No man steals copper, and so, there is no crime committed in summarily putting a copper thief to the sword. By sheer disproportionality of cost of repair, against the pennies attained by the thieves, the only correct punishment for copper theft is death. Make no mistake, these are not intelligent, scheming scoundrels; they are the incompetent, indolent refuse of the world. Subhuman mould, entropy given humanoid form, ripping into the most necessary parts of your civilization so they can pawn it off for a day's wages. These are not capable, competent, intelligent criminals that can effectively organize and terrorize; they are idiots, too stupid to hold a job, too stupid to find valuable targets, and too stupid to understand consequences. They are beasts, nothing more. And when a beast bites the hand that feeds, you kill it.

To be eligible to win Best Picture at the Oscars… 1. At least 1 Non-White/Non-Straight lead or Significant Role. 2. At least 30% minor roles Non-White/Non-Straight people. 3. At least 2 Departments headed by Non-White/Non-Straight people. This is why Nolan did it. Coward.

Something interesting you might not have realized: A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable... But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. -SUSpect/susPECT -CONflict/conFLICT -PROtest/proTEST -CONvert/conVERT

Here's some fine Art Deco era railroad art. I would have credited the source simply by retweet but blocked. Still, enjoy.

These cretins will look at a vast selection of waters, collected from bespoke, untouched, untainted wellsprings that dot across the entire planet, watersheds jealously and zealously guarded by men whose lives rely upon their continued function, and declare "ah yes! I deserve the bounty of nature! I deserve the products of their labour!" You deserve nothing. You are a slave, a wretch, the creeping, crawling dregs of society that sticks to my boot. Below even the peasant, as at least they know their damn place. You are the wastrel, the vagrant, ever demanding of everyone else and never giving back. Hungering, bleating, baying at the walls, nibbling on scraps while demanding jewels and finery and burning our fine oak doors for heat. Mewling in fury that you deserve all the posterity left for us as your own blood squanders every last drop. Possessed of free will, supposedly, yet you spend it in supplication to your betters, begging, pleading to be given what they work for without having to expend any effort. A proper society would see you castrated and tossed aside like the animal you are. If I could, I would tax you for every breath you took, slave. Freedom, liberty, equality, these are the rights of men and you are just a beast.

“Starlink isn’t feasible there isn’t enough satellite manufacturing capacity available in the world” >SpaceX just builds more manufacturing capacity “It’s impossible to launch 10,000 starships a year there aren’t enough pads available” >SpaceX just builds more spaceports
SpaceX@SpaceX

It’s no secret that we intend to launch Starship a lot, targeting thousands of flights per year. That cadence will require the ability to launch from many different locations, so we are constantly exploring to find viable sites to expand Starship operations in the future, both domestically and internationally

The American Adventure continues.
Dustin@r0ck3t23

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had. Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation. Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it. Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans. They conquered until they collapsed. America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined. And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Almost unprecedented? It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history. The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid. It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed. America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it. That’s not policy. That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything. You’re being told a story right now. That America is the villain of history. You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one. The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it. And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.” Probably right. China has historically built walls, not fleets. But the real question isn’t about borders anymore. We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet. AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint. If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be? The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to? Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy. Billions lifted out of poverty. All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before. And carries no guarantee of being repeated. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was what it didn’t do after.
