@dicknixon.bsky.social If you any have concerns about how Tesla is not including driver controls, rear view mirrors, and the like in its long-delayed cyber cabs, ponder what Fat Elmo might not have included in his AI software. finance.yahoo.com/technology/a...
Tesla's new Cybercab has no steering wheel, pedals or sensors — and NHTSA wants answers by Sept. 30
Would you get into a car that’s under federal investigation for having no visible controls?

@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, while I understand the arguments that much of higher than the targeted inflation rate is care of war spiking energy prices, who knows when the conflicts are going to unwind? As such, the Fed should've bit the bullet & gone w/a 50 basis point hike now than 25 later. 1

@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, the privations suffered by the crew of the Abraham Lincoln continue absent an override of SOP by Dumb McNamara. "Based on local reporting, Navy personnel will also be blocked from certain streets, including Pattaya's red-light district." www.newsweek.com/what-uss-abr...

@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, any thoughts on why opponents of data centers have for the most part failed to underscore how they are but the latest grift by suits to see local pols foolishly give away the store via incentives and such (most recent case in point, later shuttered fulfillment centers)?
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, on one hand, talk about quick and out of the blue -- I had sizeable enough Polymarket bet that Heggie would be the next to go.z And on the other, the mind boggles as to who's next. www.nbcnews.com/now/video/ka...

@wychstreet.bsky.social As for those who doubt the existence of a supreme being or at least karma, ponder how in recent days that not only is Fat Elmo no longer a trillionaire. he has lost roughly as much net worth as the net worth of the next two richest individuals combined.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, Space X is trading down 10% from its announced IPO price and down close to 20% from its opening price. Jordan Belfort is surely wicked jealous.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, an ironic passage from the NY Times on Trump's mostly elections speech last night: "Mr. Trump’s approach to Russia has long been to treat its president, Vladimir V. Putin, as a peer." Given that both are suffering asymmetric shitshow wars of their choices, amusing irony.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, if the purported background info on the ICE shooter in Biddleford ME is valid, such would pretty much void any Platner points for Collins AND instead pretty much doom her reelection bid so long as ME Democrats can effectively line up a reasonable replacement candidate.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, as expected, SpaceX is currently trading down by $12 from its initial offering price of $150 paid by marks among the general public c/o its recent IPO. Fortunately, 4 the esp gullible, Musk didn't also issue a meme coin. Also a plus: Shatner so missed out on a promo deal.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Among other things sir, Trump's call to FIFA surely only motivated Belgium & he called Lyndsey shortly b4 he died. Throw in Trump's earlier endorsement of Lyndsey's reelection bid & others whose bids then foundered w/others looking likely, are we looking at an Azreal reboot?
@dicknixon.bsky.social A "brief and sudden illness ..." Is that what they are calling "cardiac arrest" these days when the deceased was reportedly not feeling unwell?
@dicknixon.bsky.social WH comms "... director Steven Cheung wrote on X there was 'no frustration' over Patel’s jet ski tweet and said reports painting the FBI leader as under fire from the administration were 'completely false.'" Coming soon: "The WH wishes Kash all the best in his new venture."
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, would it be safe to assume Trump talking up the possibility of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine along w/perhaps selling F-35's to Türkiye that it doesn't really need and so risk compromising the plane's technology signals that he's trying to change the subject?
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, as you surely know, FIFA makes the Democratic Republic of the Congo look kosher. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u... de
Trump Asked FIFA to Review U.S. Player’s Suspension. Now He’s Eligible to Play.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, ponder the irony of how the largest source of Trump's 2025 income looks to be care of a manner of crypto rug pull. www.bbc.com/news/article...
From Truman's pension to Trump's billions - a White House windfall unmatched by any president
Historians say Trump's $2.2bn income last year is unprecedented and blurs the line on conflicts of interest.

@dicknixon.bsky.social So, now the but MOU with Iran is not expected to be signed until this coming Friday ...
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, I smell irrational exuberance meets rug pull care of today's Space X IPO. Maybe not today, but soon enough once it becomes clear the numbers don't support the offering price and/or yet another Starship launch "anomaly" such as "a rapid unscheduled disassembly" happens.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, your thoughts about "Bone Spurs" running amok on D-Day's anniversary w/inane AI slop on Truth Social along w/hitting the links at Bedminster w/out undertaking a proper honoring of the highest single day loss of US military personnel in combat and while the US is at war?
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, two weekends in a row without Trump hitting the links. One can thus only reasonably expect even more problems.
@dicknixon.bsky.social Sir, your thoughts on how soon and on what are Senate GOP lameducks going to "duck" Trump? Plus, for an added bonus, I am so looking forward to seeing Vance left without many opportunities to tiebreak.
