You can catch what I called confabulation moment when my Grandfather with dementia did it.
He catches himself failing 'If they didn't rig the election I would've been sitting... *brain fizzle* /pivot/ ...can you imagine I wouldn't have any of them... and I probably wouldn't have been invited etc'

There are wolves inside of you, wild and free.
There's also a grizzled raccoon who's seen too much, a wine drunk lynx with late night ennui, and a sleepy little squirrel who often feels the weight of the world.

I am curious to see if Europe takes the approach that Brazil did when Elon simply refuses to follow the laws in the market he's operating in.

I am hearing from multiple sources that the EU Commission is announcing its first DSA fine tomorrow against X on ad transparency, blue check & dark pattern, and researcher access to data.
The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."
Elon about to get big mad.

Tesla is possibly more fucked then Nvidia
This needs alt text, but if you ever wanted any proof that Tesla was a meme stock that is ridiculously overvalued, check out the numbers on the world's automakers.
Then note that BYD makes better EVs than Tesla at a little less than half the price with longer range and more features standard.

This action largely considered the worst racist atrocity of the Civil War was led by CSA Gen Nathan Bedford Forest, founder of the KKK.
But the South was so successful at justifying the Civil War thru the Lost Cause, that you probably know the name from a character named after him-Forest Gump. 🗃️

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

As the year winds down, I wanted to get an update on how things are going with the digital sovereignty effort in Europe.
Unfortunately, it’s facing challenges — and being coopted by interests that want to use it to promote deregulation and EU tech with virtually all the same problems as US tech.

The European Union has been talking about digital sovereignty. It’s not going great in practice.

Anti-immigrant sentiment is in fact in itself anti-Scottish. The Scottish nation as an idea was brought here by immigrants on Fergus Mòr's sixty ships from Ireland. Our cities were built by migrants from Flanders and Normandy. The concept of opposing migration and pretending to be Scottish is silly
