No this is somehow weirder. He seems to be confusing movies and real people, and possibly thinking it’s still the 1980s, when silence is the lambs was popular.
For those that don’t know, a large solar storm is occurring this weekend that may allow much of the US to see the northern lights. However, the forecast calls for clouds where I am, and most of the east coast. space.com/solar-storm-coronal-mass-ejections-moth…
During the eclipse in April we were considering Austin, but conflicted about spending money in TX.
We had planned out how to spend as little money and time there as needed to view it, but thankfully the weather closer to where we live was unseasonably clear and we had a great view in a much friendlier state, Maine!
Anyway, fuck Texas and the other backwards states who don’t respect women and all peoples’ rights to privacy and healthcare.
There was a kid like that in my highschool. Crashed (drunk) his dads Viper (this was the late 90s, when they were still new). Beat up lots of people culminating with kicking in the teeth of a friend of mine who was parked on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. The guy randomly stopped to attack him. They didn’t know each other either.
He hasn’t released on streaming yet or YouTube only insta and Twitter. Once it’s up on streaming he said all proceeds will go to The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)....
Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What’s not to love about this legendary system?...
Yeah, after listening to NPR’s “divided dial” it feels like a lot of how the US ended up where it is was when we he fairness doctrine was dropped or ignored.
And now citizens United has magnified and worsened it all.
He’s primarily a conspiracy moron. Secondarily he’s running to be a spoiler. I’m not sure how far down the list lawyer belongs, but probably still more than 4th or 5th.
Balaji, a 43-year-old Long Island native who goes by his first name, has a solid Valley pedigree: He earned multiple degrees from Stanford University, founded multiple startups, became a partner at Andreessen-Horowitz and then served as chief technology officer at Coinbase.

It’s hard to know, these tech guys are pretty cloistered in their lives in many cases. Many also start that way at private schools and in higher Ed. This is a Stanford dude, which might not be quite as bad as a Harvard dude, but still messed up in subtly different ways.
I have a bit of experience with the east coast elite, living and working with many in Boston for 15 years. They go to a big private high school, like Philips Exeter. It’s got amenities and educational opportunities that are hard to believe, and basically ingrains how much better and special their rich students are than the rest of society (us plebes).
There are seriously fucked up things going on in those places that are teaching these CEO’s kids that they will control and profit from the world, at the expense of everyone who isn’t in their in-group.
It’s really hard to imagine how we’re going to get out of the economic and power structures that got us where we are. Voting reform and real progressives that aren’t part of the existing elite and are willing to do the tough work that won’t set them up in the oligarchy class (or the as the oligarchy’s lackeys) are probably the best chance we have to do it peacefully.
Joining the Face Eating Leopard party is a fucking stupid alternative. Pushing for rank choice voting in their local and state elections to normalize 3rd parties is what can change things.

Boards don’t like it though. They’d rather spend $100 million (maybe way less though, politicians are cheap) to fight to save $400 billion in the long run.
I actually live there (but not born there). We used to say it should be “dying, to live free”.
There still isn’t a seatbelt law for adults (there wasn’t one for kids when I moved there), you don’t need car insurance, no helmet law for motorcycles, and no income or sales taxes, so schools in poor towns are criminally underfunded (like they cancel everything but the “3 Rs” if the budget is short).
I’m only there to care for elderly parents. Off to one of the nicer NE states after that.
His image is actually the only thing he really cares about. Which sadly makes sense because it’s also the only thing he should have when this is all over.
I believe that’s the origin of “tits or GTFO” came from too, a cringey way of saying that they don’t care if your a girl if you say something dumb online. Though predictably it morphed into incel taunts and male chauvinist bullshit once the meaning was lost.
