Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Leon is too busy attending to matters of arguing with literal neckbeards over video games to notice. -

The fact that they are holding back private/direct messages, better hashtag management, embedding, and a few other things in order to keep forcing people to Instagram is pretty fucking stupid, because it is opening the door to BlueSky, and it is still helping Twitter. Zuck had the chance to cripple Twitter and he passed in favor of trying to force people to Instagram. And everybody is noticing the amount of spam and general shiftiness on Threads, and it will only get worse as they loosen all of the restrictions. Facebook is not going anywhere, but I’m seeing more and more people reducing their usage and also looking around for groups away from Facebook, and I bet that trend picks up as the spammers and bottlers see what they can get away with and adjust accordingly.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Yeah, they may not have his wealth, but they have their videogames and they will grind away for a shit-ton of time to get some trinket or title, and being faced with evidence that he takes credit for something they don’t think he could have earned will gnaw at them. -
I may be in Salt Lake City in March at a conference, and ti would be tempting, but I’m not sure yet if I’m going yet. I have a cousin that has been out there and took some photos, but it would be interesting to see it in person. I’m curious if you’ve dealt with the Descendants organization. I was a member for a long time, but have not renewed in years. There were some real characters in it - a lot of people who are members are not direct lineal descendants of anybody killed, but to hear them tell it, you’d think it was their grandma that was killed. Some of them are overzealous to the point where I felt that it hurts the organization and the main monument(s). Back in the late 90s, there were some work being done on a monument and a bunch of bones were found during the work, and they were sent off to BYU, and a bunch of family members lost their shit, which I completely understand. I absolutely understand that. The remains were then sent to an anthropologist at I think Utah State or the University of Utah. There was talk of trying to identify the remains through studies/DNA testing, and I remember some group offering up the finances to do it properly, and the family members/organization opposed it and wanted them back in the ground after the minimum worked needed to satisfy state laws (basically determine they weren’t recent victims of crime). I remember a bunch of “they’ve suffered enough, let’s get them back in the ground where they can be at peace” (more like pieces jumbled together) nonsense. The whole thing weirded me out, especially as a lot of the people pushing to rebury them ASAP did not seem to be direct descendants. They had the chance to potentially properly identify the victims and give them their own burial plots or at least their own boxes, but nope, if recall right it was about getting them back in the ground. I could have understood if it was the LDS Church saying that because they wouldn’t like the sight of the skeletons of little kids being named, but it was the Descendants group. The state and the LDS Church Seemed open to trying to ID them. And they have the information on living descendants and relatives, and they know the names of the victims and the ages, so it would not have been a situation like the DOD still identifying Pearl Harbor victims from large graves and trying to track down unknown relatives.

I’ve worked with a lot over the years, and yeah, for the most part, easy to work with. I’ve even changed some views I had on them as well, but they still have their nutters who have to protect the church. I’ve even stopped calling them Mormons to their faces.
-
Smith and Young just wanted to have a lot of sex with a lot of women, and Smith ginned up the perfect religion to make it happen, and Young was happy to further it so he cloud also sleep with dozens of different women.

They are pissed. This kind of stuff leaking into the mainstream really pokes a lot of holes in the history some of them have in their minds, or that they tell their kids, of their heroic ancestors, all the while said ancestors kept getting run out of towns/states because they were assholes, so of course they continued to be assholes in Utah. It’s similar to the “the Civil war wasn’t about slavery” crowd when you point out that most of the Confederate states put out statements declaring they were seceding to protect slavery (Texas has among the worst of the declarations of secession). This is probably the most high-profile take on the Massacre, and there’s already been a few Mormons out there doing the “it wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be”. There’s been some recent books that made noise, but their audiences are pretty narrow, I’m pretty aware of the Massacre, but very aware of the Huff and Fancher families and the wagon trains as a whole - I have a few ancestors amongst those families in Benton and Carroll counties in Arkansas, and some genealogy/background research I had published on them made its way into a book on the Massacre. I’m a couple of episodes in, and gritting my teeth a bit over some of the errors (most of which were already mentioned). I am trying to just roll with it, but I keep wondering why they didn’t get some things right, that would not have distracted from the story and would not have cost extra, but Hollywood is gonna Hollywood. There was no need to make up some of the stuff, or compress some timelines, because the story, the characters, the land, would have been captivating enough. My guess is the people behind the show felt the need to be edgy and/or were worried they’d lose their audience. We won’t be getting any mini-series like Michener’s Centennial in the future, I’m guessing. But I’ll reserve final judgement until I’ve finished it,

Generations has grown on me over the years. Liked it when it came out, then kind of forgot about it as I moved on with ST on TV. Watched it recently and it is pretty solid.

$350. Or $3,500. You know some Musk fanboi will pony up for it. Shit. Everybody needs to be looking for stuff in their garage that even remotely resembles hardware that could be on a rocket, that they can sell on eBay. -

This article mentions he would have had to spend hundreds of hours playing between Dec. 6 (game came out) and January 7. Given how much he tweets at all hours of the day, maybe he locked himself in for a week of non-stop playing, https://www.si.com/esports/news/elon-musk-boosting-allegations-explained-path-of-exile-2 -
My elderly uncle who could never figure out how to turn on the VPN I installed for him maybe pleased and I won’t have to clean up his computer as much from going to the smaller shady sites. https://www.chron.com/culture/article/texas-scotus-age-verification-law-20036407.php Nielson didn't have a good answer. He tried to make a case that biometric scanning, one proposed way to verify age (and one endorsed by the age verification industry, which has submitted a brief supporting Texas), was not as burdensome to adults as showing a physical ID at a store. But when I show my ID to a bartender, he doesn't also take a photo of my face on his iPhone and upload it to the cloud. It's two different standards, and you could hear him sweating as Nielson's reliance on Ginsberg annoyed pretty much every single justice. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was particularly incensed with Texas and repeatedly reminded Nielson that Ginsberg did not create a constitutional pass for age verification laws, only that it found that minors had no right to access content that adults may find obscene. ——- Only Alito seemed to agree with Texas' argument that the court should rule in favor of the law on a rational basis, the lowest form of scrutiny which only requires the government to demonstrate a "legitimate interest" in restricting a fundamental right. It's an extreme proposal that would have disastrous implications for free speech since rational basis is incredibly permissive. While somewhat sympathetic to Texas, Alito's colleagues still stopped short of his radical proposal. Barrett said she wanted to "take rational basis off the table," throwing cold water on Texas' argument and instead suggested "intermediate scrutiny," a weaker but still skeptical standard, to look at age verification laws. Jackson argued that if Alito's test was applied, the government could say adults must provide a signed statement from their parents before watching porn. Nobody was ready to destroy First Amendment protections for porn with Alito, but it was clear that a majority was interested in splitting the difference between very protective speech standards that exist now and flexible standards proposed by Texas. Who should apply that new standard was unclear. The justices have the option to send the case back to the lower court to apply a different standard, which they seem inclined to do. A decision in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton is expected in early July when the court typically hands down opinions. No matter what the justices end up deciding, however, they showed that the future of online porn has probably changed forever. —————— The article has all of the technical stuff and various comments which I left out here. Surly law dogs, it almost sounds like the ID verification might get ditched, but not sure what they would replace it with to satisfy Texas. Only dumbasses want to upload their government IDs online to view porn, and it’s only a matter of time until one of the databases gets Ashley Madisoned and we find out who all is looking at what porn sites, I need to look around and see if VPNs came up.

Trump: “Leon, what’s this I hear about people saying you are pushing for too many cuts on this service? There are people in Congress calling me and asking me to tell you to stop pressuring them on Twitter” Musk: *tapping away on phone* Trump: “LEON!” Musk: “Hold on, this 14 year-old said something about me on X and I’m trying to get all of their information so I can dox them” Trump: “if you’re gonna talk to 14 year-olds on a porn site and dox them, whatever that is, wait do you have to pay her extra for that? Anyways, don’t do that in the White House.” Musk: “No, it’s a 14 year-old boy, and X is what the uninformed call Twitter, it’s not a porn site” Trump: “Doesn’t Twitter have a lot of porn on it?” Musk: “*sighs* yes but it’s a free speech public square and forum, not a porn site” Trump: “I don’t know, if people use it for porn, it’s a porn site to them. Why are you talking to 14 year-olds anyways?” Musk: ”Because they challenged my skillz” Trump: *stares blankly at Leon* -

Yeah, him responding with some Diablo IV footage made things so much worse. On the one hand, he has the perfect excuse to ignore it with the White House stuff, but on the other hand, his personality won't let him ignore it, because he's been called out on his own platform. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. -

Jeff is getting something from Lauren every day that he wants it, apparently on a big-ass yacht a lot of times, Musk is getting…*checks notes*…virtual high fives from 25 year-olds living in their mom’s basement.
