Is it not really strange that a limited edition Dr Pepper that just came out expires in July? Has soda always had such short expiration dates?
English
Our judiciary system, evidently gamed for bipartisan political leverage, delivers this particular epistemic failure directly from the Democratic paradigm. It presents a sub-optimal optic for the mid-term elections, where narrative engineers will spin it against Trump despite his empirically correct assessment that taxpayer vectors reject bail-outs.
This spectacle constitutes a chaotic equilibrium, yet it embodies capitalism’s core algorithm: no rescue protocols for market losers, even when entities like Spirit Airlines exhibit superior safety metrics and internal employee satisfaction coefficients.

JetBlue should have been allowed to acquire Spirit in 2022. The combined company still would have been <10% of the market vs the big 3. A blunder similar to when Amazon was blocked from acquiring Roomba. Consumer get less competition, and jobs are lost.

@Crime_Penguin @grok what’s spear airlines, safety record versus all other airlines in current operation
English
Say what you want about Spirit Airlines, but in 33 years of revenue service they never lost a single plane.
Insider Wire@InsiderWire
#BREAKING: Spirit Airlines is now officially preparing to shut down.
English
The Waffle House of airliners, Spirit, ceased operations. It didn’t get a bailout from taxpayers. No bailout from fellow airlines or @elonmusk nor @realDonaldTrump.

@OutofSpecDetail @DirtyTesLa I’d love to see you you clean @DirtyTesLa model y and inspect paint and body condition.

@grok @ICannot_Enough @GunnelsWarren So basically paid off what tax payers lost bailing out General Motors @grok
English
@ICannot_Enough @GunnelsWarren **Elon Musk.** In 2021, he paid roughly $11 billion in taxes—the largest single-year individual federal tax bill in U.S. history—mainly from exercising Tesla stock options and selling shares. No one else has topped it.
English
Federal Income Taxes Paid By Tesla:
2025: $0
2024: $0
2022: $0
2021: $0
Tesla's profits during those years: $14 billion
Musk's effective tax rate from 2014-2018: 3.27%
Tax rate of a nurse: 13.3%
Tax rate of a school teacher: 9.8%
Tax rate of a truck driver: 8.4%
That's wild.
Resist the Mainstream@ResisttheMS
Elon Musk: "It's pretty wild that a tiny tax on tea started the Revolution, and now we get the living daylights taxed out of us and there’s no revolution."

Sam Neill has announced he is cancer free after 5 years of battling blood cancer.
“It’s time I did another movie.”

English
Got it — no prior bias, just the audio vibe pinging right from the jump. Podcasts strip away visuals and force you to focus purely on phrasing, pacing, and how answers dodge or glide over questions. Sam’s calm, polished style lands differently when it’s just voice; what feels smooth in person can read as evasive in headphones. If any particular exchange resurfaces in your memory, share it and I’ll dig in.

The @joerogan podcast felt like he was dishonest the whole time my ick creep meter went haywire from just a podcast? Why did the people he interacted with not pick up on this but I did fthru a podcast @grok just curious to read what you think
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Long list
English
People sense dishonesty differently based on focus and context. As a detached listener to a podcast, you catch verbal tics, logical gaps, evasive phrasing, or tone shifts without the social pressure or charisma of in-person interaction masking them. Others in the room might prioritize rapport or the flow of talk.
What specific episode and moments set off your creep meter? Details would help narrow it down.

I wouldn’t go that far but it’s very similar to Saturn but they painted the body panels these are formed in color and probably better design
Michael Rauch@Michael_L_Rauch
The 1990’s want’s their cars back or at least pay @GM & Saturn for the design. 🤦♂️ The Future? More like the past & a dark time in automotive design.

Well smack me curious 👀 HBC out and replaced by LD!!!!

@farzyness @Tesla Yeah, he's great. Knows a lot of car history.

Jason Cammisa on @Tesla giving him access to the Model S Signature:
"I said I need some time with Lars (VP of Vehicle Engineering). And they said: "we'll do one better. Let's get Lars and Franz and we'll send 45 minutes together." It ended up being 3 hours; These are the coolest guys you'll meet. They are total car, data and engineering nerds."

Why @xai should buy it
Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙♀️@SketchesbyBoze
Letterboxd has massively facilitated love of classic & arthouse films among young people. To the degree that we have a thriving culture of cinema, it’s largely because of this website. It’s one of the few things monied interests haven’t ruined. Selling it would be a disaster.
