I’ve documented for years how major media consolidation is simultaneously completely pointless and incredibly harmful. Such deals exist exclusively so that unremarkable rich men with no real ideas can grab some tax breaks, create the illusion of perpetual growth, and pretend they’re “savvy dealmakers.” Yet every single time a major media merger is completed the […]

In April 2023, I was sent to the receiving and distribution department at Pennsylvania’s State Correctional Institution, Fayette, to pack my property for a transfer. I squeezed all of my belongings, accumulated over three decades, into one footlocker and two property boxes. I took special care with my most important items: my books, my TV […]

Grievances have been around since the early 1970s, but they became central to U.S. prisons following the 1996 passage of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. The PLRA required incarcerated people to exhaust all institutional remedies available before filing a federal lawsuit, meaning that an incarcerated person who wants to sue must first go through their […]

Polestar and the University of Oxford put 12 drivers in eye trackers and heart-rate monitors and sent them around a Swedish racetrack in two versions of the Polestar 4. The goal was to put numbers on something no spec sheet captures: how performance feels to the person driving.
The 544 hp Polestar 4 Dual motor with Performance pack delivered 32% higher peak acceleration than the 268 hp Rear motor version on matched laps, and it needed 15% less steering effort to do it. Drivers also rated it far higher on the experience.

Occam’s News reports that Trump et al are selling out the US. Putin can get the US to do what he wants by giving Trump money. Total win-win. And the US is flushed down the toilet. That’s all that’s going on there. All of the feigned bafflement is make-believe. It’s totally obvious what’s going on. […]

My friend Guy Kawasaki has a quote from the early Mac division at Apple. “Steve Jobs has a saying that A players hire A players. But B players hire C players, and C players hire D players. It doesn’t take long to get to F players. This trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies.” You […]

My friend Guy Kawasaki has a quote from the early Mac division at Apple. "Steve Jobs has a saying that A players hire A players. But B players hire C players, and C players hire D players. It doesn't take long to get to F players. This trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies." You see this over and over among the very rich in tech. The money is supposed to make them invincible, but they don't hire the best people, I guess, for fear of being found out to not be the genius that the money says they are.

That's all that's going on there.
All of the feigned bafflement is make-believe. It's totally obvious what's going on. And don't forget Musk has the world encircled with satellites. If he doesn't want you communicating, you don't communicate.
In other words the selling-out has been going on for some time.
