Work on your grammar first, sir!

"American ascendancy and self-governance has been despoiled by a single locution, progressiveness to which California is praised for."

I live near Harmon/California and would love a right-turn version of a diverter, instead of the fake dead end we have (for people avoiding Alcatraz)

People just drive straight through the fake dead end. And if they're willing to do that, they're also usually willing to drive way too fast

I think one challenge is that this claim isn't true

> he is suffering from substantial cognitive decline

I don't see evidence of that, and this article doesn't make much of a case for it. He has *always* been like this

He's not much different cognitively than the guy from term 1 imo

Agreed on that first part 100%

But I have a very hard time believing it's intentional

There's no promotion of the RSS feed *at all* on the website, and they haven't written about it since 2016. (Current paywall started in 2019)

I think it's a mistake, tbh. I hope they don't "fix" it though ;)

the text reads:

Elon Musk Is Taking the X Playbook to Starlink
Apr 21, 2026 at 7:44 AM
If Elon Musk gets his way, space will soon look very different. Through his ownership of SpaceX, the world’s richest man already operates most of the roughly 14,000 active satellites that are orbiting Earth. Now his rocket company is asking the government for permission to launch up to 1 million more. It’s part of Musk’s plan to build data centers in space that can harness the power of the sun for AI. “You’re power-constrained on Earth,” Musk said last month. “Space has the advantage that it’s always sunny.”

Musk has a lot riding on these orbital data centers. To help finance them, he is set to take SpaceX public as early as June, at a reported valuation of $2 trillion. Musk has claimed that data centers in space can “enable self-growing bases on the moon, an entire civilization on Mars, and ultimately expansion to the universe.” It’s all classic Musk, who has a habit of making big promises that he can’t always keep. Data centers in space are an untested technology, and it’s not clear if they’d actually work. (Neither Musk nor SpaceX responded to a request for comment.)

Even if Musk falls short of his lofty space dreams, his venture may still pay him considerable dividends. That’s because it could help him secure regulatory approval to accelerate a land grab in space. There are only so many satellites that can circle Earth’s low orbit before the risk of collision becomes unacceptably high. By flooding space with his own satellites, Musk can make it impossible for other companies to gain entry while dramatically expanding one of the most important and valuable parts of his empire: Starlink.

>> Not a democrat lib in the world looks like this folks!!! Young fellas pay attention,”

It's a fairly lite "scam" because the woman was not real and he didn't label the posts as created by AI. That is fraudulent to me

If he was fully upfront about the AI, it wouldn't be a scam at all

It's such a bad faith movement and it's been around for *so* long now (40+ years?) that it's super crazy making

We clearly need *some* limits to speech. Libel, etc

The choice is whether we decide them together as a standard or let the current kings in charge decide based on their own whims
