I was thinking exactly the same thing

A TON of work was done before Tesla though, which is what I feel like continually is overlooked. Tesla (the company) was already standing on some very tall shoulders at its inception, and the engineers carried the real innovation forward after the takeover.

Those advancements were made possible by the Roadster, which was the true pioneering product that made EVs cool again. A car that was dreamed up and invented by Martin Eberhard, and would go on to be built by someone else that gave him the shittiest end of the most shit-covered stick there ever was.

Everything that has given Tesla a reputation as an imnovative company was either done by the original inventor or their amazing engineers over the years.

Elon brings money and celebrity recognition to the company. If the celebrity recognition turns and becomes a net negative, the money is going to start becoming an issue too because his loans might get called and then he's got nothing to bring to the table. I choose to dream about that future right now.

If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.

I wonder if there's a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?

Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas...

Edit again: I swear it's on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.

Also Marco Rubio: We need to screen foreigner's socials for wrongthink or maybe blackhole them into CECOT or some Libyan concentration camp or whatever they come up with next

Whenever he makes this announcement, expect there to be a flurry of buying activity in the US stock markets in the day (or even hours) immediately preceding

I heard reporting earlier (no links handy, sorry) that the US is requiring Iran to stop enriching uranium at all in order to proceed with any sort of negotiations. Not that we are requiring them to simply not enrich any further beyond the point where they can use nuclear energy, but that they cannot do any enrichment whatsoever, "not even one percent." That's gonna be a definite non-starter and set the stage for attacking Iran because "they didn't cooperate."

Food we've already bought and paid for - our tax dollars at work, literally - intentionally being left to rot. I hate all of this so much. They continue actively and aggressively hurting vulnerable people while putting money into the pockets of those with astronomical treasure piles already. Such efficiency. Very awesomeness.

Saved for future viewing, thanks for sharing

I just learned that there is a Cardinal Pizzaballa from Italy that is on the short list of expected potential popes. On name alone, I hope he wins. I know he won't be called Pope Pizzaballa, but in my heart that is what he'd be known as, spoken in the most Super Mario type accent imaginable

Edit: Sorry, not sorry, I couldn't help myself, you who are now perusing this thread have to see it as well


They are saying they want parts of Syria pretty openly, and settlers have been saying they are eyeing southern Lebanon too. It's not gonna stop with Palestine.

Please, I am begging you, do not make this sheet. Right wing media will pick up on it, the golden one will catch wind of it, and it will become an achievement checklist. Please do not.

You're god damn right about that

Weird. I'm from the US, and from my point of view Crimea is Ukrainian territory and the Gulf of Mexico is the name of the big water between the US and Mexico on the eastern side.

Most of the people we've (the US) sent there have not been "deported" and cannot be repatriated because they were never citizens of El Salvador. Lots were apparently Venezuelan, I guess, but I don't really know how solid of a claim even *that* is because it really sounds like ICE has been instructed to just grab any brown people with tattoos when they go out on their raids. The people that have been forcibly removed from the US and human trafficked into El Salvador have been kidnapped and exiled, effectively given a lifetime sentence (however short that may be) in a foreign concentration camp without any due process or means for recourse.

This shit's fucked.

This, a thousand times! I've been waiting and hoping to see a way for the masses to have a look at the whole thing and I haven't found one yet

Vote against fascists if you want even a chance of your vote counting in the future! Lol

Northeast South Canada, checking in here! My people moved into this land just a few generations ago. The motherland calls...

As is almost always the case in this genocide. This isn't "Hamas using people as human shields" like Bibi claims. This is the IDF using all of Gaza as live targets.
