Al Capone would have loved to buy the Chicago police chief a huge mansion. He would have paid his salary, too. Imagine all the savings the citizens could have enjoyed!
your Tesla still doesn't actually drive itself after 8 years, this guy's last big product idea was the Cybertruck, and you believe any of this??
MUSK, in Riyadh:
"My prediction, actually, for humanoid robots is that ultimately they will be tens of billions. I think everyone will want to have their personal robot. You can think of it like, as though you had your own personal C-3POor R2-D2. But
even better.

There would be no Tesla w/out a gullible populace raised on science fiction. Nonsense like insisting we will settle other worlds fits into our sci-fi tropes about “genius.” Yet he still can’t resist over-gilding that lily. Optimus will be just like a fictional fully humanoid robot—“BUT EVEN BETTER!”

Insightful as always.
This is getting a fair amount of scorn, and I’d say it deserves it. The hidden premise is that “corruption” requires the specific proof that the Supreme Court has decided (controversially) is required for certain very specific federal criminal statutes.

There’s a reason we police conflicts of interest rigorously before they ripen into outright or covert exchanges. Bribery is hard to establish—and the participants of course conceal it. There’s no need to worry about the hazard of an eventual quo when there’s no possibility of an up-front quid.

If it’s LC from Brown, oh yes she would have. And a lot faster than Grace did. Talk about curiosity killing a cat . . . !

Now watch it twice. The
foreshadowing will blow you away on a totally different level.

Coogler is super film literate, so it’s a deeply allusive movie, yet it’s also a totally fresh concept. Top tier construction, cinematography, pacing, and acting. On a second viewing, the foreshadowing is as relentless as in MacBeth. It’s an unclassifiable genre mashup, and a masterpiece.
most of the people obsessed with Will Stancil are living out a fantasy where they get to be the school bullies for once, and it's pretty sad.
In the minds of some leftists he’s a proxy punching bag for Yglesias.

*You* authorized this funding, not the Executive Branch. They can’t “slash” it; only you can. This impoundment is a usurpation of your legislative power. Do something about it.
Trump: "We already made a great deal. We're not doing business with China right now. We lost $1 trillion with China last year, so if you're not gonna do business with them, you're not gonna lose $1 trillion."

Penn is a rigorous place, and the existence of one cretin who skated through w/out honors a half-century ago doesn’t prove otherwise. That cabinet is packed with highly credentialed folks who spout nonstop nonsense. The issue is character, not education.
