Doesn't look like I'm able to edit the URL, but thank you.

I think that's a good idea, and you might consider a subscription to a news-adjacent magazine, like The Atlantic, Salon, Vanity Fair.

One of the things that I do is organize my Freetube subscriptions into interest categories. Motoring, Academia, Whistler (the Simon Whistler Empire of Channels is pretty darn good), some others. That way, I can go put information into my head without it being every single news outlet video clip.

I also pick exactly one place to interact in comments sections, and right now that is fediverse. All other internet comments are dead to me.

Literally all he needs to do is shut the fuck up and collect money, and he can't even manage that.

This is 100% "I don't understand technology, so it's all Apple's fault!"

Musk owns more than 20% of Tesla stock.

While some investors remained silent on their voting position, Tesla's largest shareholders, including Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and State Street, collectively holding roughly 17% of Tesla's stock, abstained from public comment. The full voting breakdown will be revealed during a Tesla shareholder meeting in Austin.

One, what an AI-written paragraph: "While some ... remained silent ... [others] abstained from public comment." Aren't those the same thing?

Two, this is all just a bunch of rich motherfuckers deciding how much of an insane amount of wealth to give to one of them. Where'd they get that money? Customers.

Imagine how competitive an electric car company could be if it wasn't just a front for shuffling vast sums of money around between people who already have more money than they could ever spend.

The irony of Mr. "I demand $56B to stay with the company, even though I already have more money than God" demanding at maximum $351,500 from six people who got shitcanned.

A long, long time ago, I used to drive from Kenosha, WI, to Wilmette (and later Northfield), IL, for work, down I-94, in a 1986 Honda CRX. Up until about Tower Rd., I was doing 105MPH every day, and people were passing me like nothing.
