I don’t think it has been mentioned here yet, but all of the Starlink service was out for a couple of hours yesterday due to a software glitch.
The delivery on “I am so fucking high right now” is world class.
They are presumably trained to behave like their master.
I just want to know who thinks these fumbling things are suddenly going to become dexterous enough to displace human workers, start mining and processing their own resources, and become self-replicating any time in the foreseeable future.

In other news,
A previously unreported order by Elon Musk to cut satellite communications over a portion of Ukraine disrupted a counteroffensive by Kyiv in the autumn of 2022.
During a pivotal push by Ukraine to retake territory from Russia in late September 2022, Elon Musk gave an order that disrupted the counteroffensive and dented Kyiv’s trust in Starlink, the satellite internet service the billionaire provided early in the war to help Ukraine’s military maintain battlefield connectivity.
The account of the command counters Musk’s narrative of how he has handled Starlink service in Ukraine amid the war. As recently as March, in a post on X, his social media site, Musk wrote: “We would never do such a thing.”
Why would he do such a thing? I’ve never heard that Musk was a tankie, or trying to extort concessions from Ukraine, unlike Trump.
He’s been doing this sort of thing for a while.
See this story from 2023:
Excerpts of a new biography of Musk published by The Washington Post last week revealed that the Ukrainians in September 2022 had asked for the Starlink support to attack Russian naval vessels based at the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Musk had refused due to concerns that Russia would launch a nuclear attack in response. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and claims it as its territory.
This is kind of old news being regurgitated.
I think the Guardian writer goes in with an agenda, but to be fair, he has a lot to work with.
Some local, on-the-ground reporting here:
Listen, I’m not on a Musk binge this morning, it’s just that I’m reading news for the first time in a while.
Italy declares that “free” memberships that result in data being sold are in fact a taxable VAT transaction:
Exclusive: Meta, X and LinkedIn appeal unprecedented VAT claim by Italy | Reuters
I am no tax lawyer, but this doesn’t seem defensible. Still, I heartily approve.
For a moment I thought maybe they were empty containers but nope, there’s clearly milk in those “Perishable - Keep Refrigerated” boxes.
Well, now. This is awfully sweet. Elno eXcreted a post that you will “yeah well uh”
Ellno made some ridiculously misogynistic comment about programming, but, holy crap.
We’re so fucked.
I didn’t know women were “built” in the first place, let alone all the insanity that followed that.
“Were built to” is total dominance speak, meant to shape (distorted) reality.
Quite honestly, I am not so sure that I would want to live in a society dominated and controlled by women, but, on the other hand, letting men run things is all kinds of fucked up.
One of the tenets of gender-based equality is that women can be just as corrupt and/or incompetent as men.
Is there some white supremacist code I’m missing? What does he mean by traded? Culture? “20 years”?
And did Elmo actually write “ort” or is that a transcription error?
He didn’t write any of it, he was replying/retweeting it. What Musk tweeted as a reply was:
They’ve been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media
He was promoting the info, but he didn’t write it.
Sometimes when a person tries to use cutesy language like “eXcreted” nobody knows what the fuck they’re talking about. So the confusion isn’t your fault.
“traded”: women are chattel. Like shiny glass beads, they are valuable trading material with the men of nearby tribes. Or, they make great loot to steal in a raid on those adjacent tribes. This is the reason for their existence on earth - trading currency; surely not to be equal human beings.
Culture and 20 years: Once traded or abducted into a new tribe, women adapt to it to survive. And quickly become status quo conservatives in it because their success and survival depends on sucking up to it. Resistance to the local dominant paradigm is useless.
His next point is that since western culture is purely anti-white wokeitude, all white women are now acculturated to be anti-white woke. Which survival tactic will backfire on them bigtime.
Note: I do not subscribe to any of these odious views. But it’s blatantly obvious that that’s what “Dr. Insensitive Jerk” means and what elmo so adoringly helped spread around the internet.
Yeah, I think your post correctly translated the He-Man assumptions of the Jerk post (as well as Elmo’s approving response).
What stands out: how pathetically insecure a person must have to be to cling to such bizarre concepts.
