Elon's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

Man, how is this something you just share in an interview as if it's just a nice piece of family history.

Ah, didn't know this was only agreed to by Lebanon, not Hezbollah. That's weird, Lebanon wasn't even involved as an entity (besides getting bombed by Israel, I guess).

And yeah, your last paragraph is spot on. Someone will fire back, and that's the only breach we'll hear about in Western media, never mind the facts.

I knew Israel wasn't going to abide by the ceasefire as soon as I read the terms. Hezbollah now retreated, Israel has 2 months to basically destroy and depopulate South Lebanon, and when the 60 days are up they'll find some reason to stay. And by then Trump will be inaugurated, so there's not even going to be any pretense of pressure from the US to stick to the ceasefire at that stage.

I don't really get why Hezbollah agreed to this, presumably they should know better?

They'll be driving multiple cars at the same time, while drunk.

And do you know why it happened on inauguration day and not anytime during the Carter administration? It's because Reagan promised a better deal for Iran if they didn't take the one Carter offered.

Nah, let Trump own it, because Israel is definitely going to break it anyway.

Nobody forced Biden to go along with it, or Harris to promise to continue the exact same policies. This is the DNC's making. The DNC failed their voters, not the other way around. Maybe next time try promising to do popular things, and follow through on the things you promised last time.

I think it's just a case of people needing to get used to it.

You can compete on more than just price. Apple focuses on quality and design. They also need to worry about running afoul of antitrust law. It's better to have 50% of the phone market with high margins and no antitrust trouble than to try to capture more of the market with a cheaper device.

They'll get Trump in 20 years, you'll see.

American exceptionalism is really a disease. They think they're somehow different.

Yeah, funny Israel gets 2 months to retreat. My bet is they won't.

“Stigma and fear are there for D&Cs in a way that they are not for misoprostol,” said Dr. Alison Goulding, an OB-GYN in Houston. “Doctors assume that a D&C is not standard in Texas anymore, even in cases where it should be recommended. People are afraid: They see D&C as abortion and abortion as illegal.”

These are cases where a D&C would still be legal under the Texas law, but doctors are still not doing it because they're afraid to get sued by Ken Paxton. That's malpractice.

I get that the law is ridiculous, immoral and badly written, but that still doesn't absolve you from your responsibility to preserving human life.

And yeah, the Texas Governor and Republican legislature are morally responsible, and have blood on their hands, but since they're writing the laws they can't exactly be charged with a crime.

They're definitely trying, yeah. I'm holding out hope they won't succeed, but maybe that's misplaced.

I wonder if his landlord ever considered not renewing his lease due to his political stance vis-a-vis landlords.

Damn, this guy's going to live a thousand years.

Jesus, that's so fucked.

The message doesn't mention work at all. I could easily do all of those things if I didn't have to work myself.

With M4A you don't need to worry about insurance and billing, you're just doing one thing, and one thing well. You can free up so many resources just by removing the insurance and billing packages.

Venues are taking a cut of that as well now in some cases. It's disgusting honestly.
