I think this is absolutely correct on both counts. It is obvious that people don't feel safe or David Sacks (you may recall him from what's currently happening on Twitter) wouldn't have been able to successfully fund the Bo

That doesn't explain the decline in shoplifting reports over the last decade. Presumably if all stores had been doing whatever that Target was doing (and I note that the store in question dropped back down to normal levels the followin

Huh. Have you considered these two possibilities: 1) You're not seeing a full feed of all video that gets shot; you're seeing what various media outlets choose to share. 2) Humans being humans, we're more primed to grab video

I have read a fair bit of reporting that Gwynne Shotwell effectively runs SpaceX, such as https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/10/tech/spacex-coo-gwynne-shotwe... Given the number of news stories I’ve read like t

For some historical context, there’s been at least one serious proposal from a significant US politician along these lines: https://www.hueylong.com/programs/share-our-wealth.php In the interests of full context, Huey

I was thinking about this last night during the Space chat. Jason Calacanis was insisting that the level of tracking represented by ElonJet was something new and all I could think of was paparazzi. For decades, movie stars have been monitor

People have covered the current wave. Also, earlier this month, Chad Loder was suspended for reasons which haven’t been explained yet.

It’s worth noting that the tracker doesn’t post destinations until, of course, the plane actually lands. You cannot use the data provided to determine where to meet him.

Given that journalists are not showing up everywhere he goes, I think your scenario isn’t relevant.

Not only did he restart the poll when he saw “Now” winning, the new poll still has “Now” winning by a hefty margin. He posted these after a very brief appearance on a Space hosted by journalists. I can’t blame him to leaving —- talking to t

… okay, a journalist showing up at your house is not doxxing. If they then publish your home address? Sure. But a journalist knocking on your door to get your side of the story is not and has never been doxing. And I’m saying this as someon

Given that the rule didn’t exist when Elon originally banned @ElonJet? I’d suggest that you care about the fact that Elon will ban anyone he wants banned, and make up a justification post-facto. If you don’t care who gets banned from Twitte

This issue was over-emphasized, probably because it affected reporters and seemed exciting. There is not mass defederating from journa.host. Note that even in that article, it’s only 45 servers defederating a single journalism-oriented serv

This is going to sound specious, but I honestly never stress about downvotes. It tends to even out to the overall tenor of the forum, whether that’s here or Reddit. If I’m always getting downvoted it’s a sign that I’m out of tune with the f

This is no longer accurate: all of Jack Sweeney’s accounts have been banned, apparently permanently (despite Musk’s statement that permanent bans are wrong). https://mastodon.social/@JxckS/109513788818540405 There is a

The owner of the ElonJet account published those leaked communications, and that account hasn’t been suspended, so there’s some inconsistency there. Zoe Schiffer, who has published many Twitter leaks this month, has not been suspended. It w

It’s a private jet, so he actually doesn’t have to deal with security at all and in most cases he won’t be close to the main terminal. I think, to be completely fair, that the perceived security issue is more that we have a loose idea of wh

I think it’s worth digging into that LibsOfTikTok issue, because even the limited information we’ve got is being misinterpreted. It is a real shame that Elon decided to do a selective release. The text shared was this: ===== Site Policy Rec

This is accurate for non-dark money. Interestingly, if we take SBF at his word that he donated equally to Republicans in dark money, he would be the fifth largest donor to Republican candidates. https://thehill.com/business-

I think that given SBF’s assertion that he donated an equal amount of dark money to Republicans, it would be wise to mention the amount of money they spent as well. Otherwise you risk giving the impression that this problem is limited to a

Where’s this moderation transparency? Can you point me at the clear explanation for why Crimethinc was suspended? Musk says that Ye was suspended for inciting violence. Does that mean anyone posting a swastika will be suspended? Since Musk

This seems like it’s meant to imply something about vaccines, but I can’t for the life of me make sense of it. Why would the author expect American Airlines to disclose an employee’s vaccination status to him? Surely that’s private informat

Within limits. The new Black Panther didn't release in China; neither did Shang-Chi. China's an important market for Disney but they're not afraid to ignore it from time to time.

Quite a bit; just it's mostly living in the direct to video bin, as it were. There's a whole world of pretty decent action flicks out there[1]. Scott Adkins, who's mentioned in that article, makes just about anything he'

As I mentioned in another comment, the House Financial Services Committee -- currently chaired by Maxine Walters (D) -- has already announced hearings. I don't mean this as an attack, but I find it's useful to occasionally examine
