This is a good piece that's worth reading beyond just the actual (deliberately provocative) subject line. His point about the "real Elon" and "Evil Elon" is interesting. I'm not sure I agree with his conclusion that people would just get sick of Elon if he crosses a line, and I think he's underestimating Twitter's power (not that many people using it doesn't take into account that certain things from it get amplified everywhere). But it's an optimistic view (the notion that people really aren't suckers), and better than the other alternative he mentions, the idea that only other oligarchs could provide any sort of check.
Assuming they're mostly around our ages, maybe use fiat concepts to get the point across: They've surely learned the wisdom to never check their retirement accounts during a downturn (and to avoid constantly checking it). Same for btc. It's a long game.
Ugh. Sorry -- I hadn't realized it would hit paychecks for work already done, or that folks there are paid monthly instead of biweekly.
I am curious what will happen to those 38 (and surprised to see two Dems jump the aisle). I don't recognize most of them (though Chip Roy was clearly going to vote this way), but am not surprised to see Nancy Mace there, and she seems determined to always be in the spotlight these days.
I remember this one! There was also a Reply All episode about a house in Georgia that kept showing up as the location for stolen cell phones.
This post is how I learned that Guaranteed Rate (who were our initial mortgage brokers) changed their name earlier this year.
Is there a reason this post is pinned twice (#2 and bottom of screenshot)?

When looking at a post, will the zaps and cowboy credits given to it be combined into one number in the top line (so "200 sats \ 1 reply \ @ username")? Or will they be separated?
