“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” ― Mark Twain

We are fucked ... Whiskey Pete Announces Elon Musk Will Help Lead US Military. The Secretary of Defense formally announced that Musk, along with other controversial figures, will help direct a project to determine the future of the US military.

Who's the terrorists now?? More than 100 Israeli settlers have carried out attacks in a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, stopping a family escorted by the Israeli military from returning to their homes, which had been seized weeks ago by settlers.

Math Hurts … The war in Iran is costing us $1bln a day. Daily in the US we sell 123MM gallons of diesel and 374MM gallons of unleaded or roughly 500MM gallons total. So that $1bln day war is adding about $2 to every gallon sold. Now that’s winning.

Let the world know .... YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook owner Meta, and, predictably, Musk’s own platform X have all refused to run paid advertisements for Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney’s new four-hour documentary Musk, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
