Elon Musk thinks he knows the price of some things but he understands the true value of nothing.
Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Tyler King@tyleraking.com · 8h agoTo alleviate conflict with NASA resources for other crewed launch missions, SpaceX will use Cybertrucks as standby emergency evacuation vehicles instead of the standard military Mine-Resistent Ambush Protected vehicles or MRAPs. But really just seems like they have a glut of trucks lying around.
Good for her. Good for the party and good for her longterm career too.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 10h agoA gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Get ready for three months of the most vile, disgusting, unapologetically islamophobic and racist commentary you've ever seen from the GOP during a campaign.
The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Primary Elections Live Updates: Race Too Close to Call in Democratic Primary for Michigan Senate Seat

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 15h agoAn acrimonious and expensive Democratic Senate primary in Michigan that divided the party remained unresolved early Wednesday, with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive, clinging to a narrow lead over Representative Haley Stevens, a moderate. nyti.ms/4bPACIf
Congratulations to the Haley Stevens campaign on their crackerjack strategy of being super islamaphobic and weirdly antisemitic to Jewish people who disagreed with her policies
oh, not deleted so much as his account was suspended; the Bluesky mods did something right for once

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.
