@DefiantLs Lol a ten-year uncontested “one-off” with “no commercial support.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Elon Musk hasn't done anything that NASA hasn't already done."

@IndianaGPA 😍😍😍

“Did Fred Flintstone order this? Because my cardiologist just fainted… then gave it two thumbs up. Said if you’re going out, might as well go out smiling!” 🥩👍

@AlexVanWey @YIMBYLAND No beachfront property is or is meant to be affordable to everyone. Location premium is real and not ethically wrong.

@YIMBYLAND A lot of these YIMBY SoCal accounts seem to be more developer propaganda, because high rises condos on the beach aren’t going to be affordable housing.

This what the California Coastal Commission stole from you.

@JoeMa_5 @WallStreetMav What would that achieve? WiFi blackout for 0.6 seconds?

@WallStreetMav They could knock some of his satellites out of orbit if they really wanted to.

Elon and SpaceX have been telling everyone about cell phones connecting direct to Starlink satellites. China cannot block Elon’s satellites. Elon owns a few satellites in orbit above his head no matter where he is on the planet.

@MattDevittWX Can confirm

Rainy season officially begins today! 🌞⛈️🌞

@Obadimz_ Can relate 😂 driving out of LAX for the first time was a unique experience when I suddenly felt I already knew my way around.

To all GTA lovers around the world, this one is for us 🥹🥶

Would you play a remaster of Super Mario 64?

@PolymarketMoney Pretty incredible

SpaceX is now fewer than 218 payload launches away from surpassing the rest of the world combined.

@alex_peys Banger 😂

got a framed copy to hang by the ai team

@flornkm What if iMessage had a keyboard and suggestions that didn’t always force misspellings?

What if iMessage fixes your typos after you sent them?

@ritwikpavan @Apple …

NEW: Google just launched a new laptop category for the AI era. Googlebook is coming this fall with Gemini built into the cursor, desktop, and Android phone connection. • Magic Pointer lets you select anything on screen and ask Gemini about it • Create My Widget builds custom desktop widgets from a prompt • Cast My Apps opens your Android phone apps on the laptop • Quick Access lets phone files show up like they live on your laptop • built with partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo

@IterIntellectus Riiiiight 😂

“we built the ultimate war machine, please everyone be sure to use the robot in a Friendly and Safe manner” I love unitree

@ApoStructura Banger

This man would have fought against tractors in fields and excavators in construction sites.

Name a video game that you've easily put 1,000 hours into Gifs only

@ApoStructura @cotoverde I agree with @cotoverde, even in a bubble, there’s no way she’s never been presented with this information. Conflating earned equity with earned salary is an easy way to manipulate genuinely uneducated people into hating the rich.

@cotoverde This would be the worst, even worse than being to dumb/ignorant to understand it

It is concerning that lots of people still think “making a billion dollars” is the same as getting a billion dollar paycheck.

@elonmusk @theallinpod @claudeai @SpaceX I have a feeling Elon will be saying Chamath was right at least once more in the next couple years…

@theallinpod @claudeai @SpaceX Chamath was right

I think you and I both know what "unskilled" means in the context of this thread. Unskilled jobs I've had in the past: grocery bagger, checkout clerk, catering delivery driver, tree nursery associate. Did I need basic societal skills like hand-eye coordination, ability to receive basic instructions, ability to drive, to talk to people politely, to drive a golf cart, etc.? Absolutely. These skills are common and relatively easy for an adult or teen to attain, and wouldn't even make it on a resume, so they would be considered a part of unskilled labor. Traditionally, skilled labor is considered to be labor that requires specialized skills, i.e. welding, trucking (requires CDL), heavy machinery operation, project management, people management, any work involving controlled information, drugs, or materials, etc. These are skills we don't necessarily need to survive or operate successfully in society, but they're required for "skilled" jobs. Specialized skills cost time and/or money resources to attain, and some cost more than others, which drives a supply and demand of those skills and pay scales proportional to the scarcity and demand for each skill. It's not a reflection on the value of the individual human, but rather a reflection on the market value of the skills they can leverage to create quality goods and services. I honestly think you already knew that, but there it is.

@ethanhale @hxl_again @peterrhague Not one job on this earth is unskilled.

No system in human history has allowed more people to sit in their garden making art than capitalism

@aragon1500 @ApoStructura What makes you think that would happen? Normally in M&A scenarios like this one, the successful company absorbs the failing company and reforms it or adds its book of business to its own.

@ethanhale @ApoStructura Why so jet blue can go bankrupt too?

It is good that the Spirit Bailout didn’t go through. Private businesses should be allowed to fail, especially when they are not systemic. It turns out Americans are too rich for ultra low cost uncomfortable air travel and that’s ok.

@ApoStructura Exactly. Lobbies and social interests win again.

@ethanhale Yes… that was complicated nonsensical. Anything bellow 30% market share shouldn’t even be a discussion
