Sorry, no, I misremembered - the guy said they hate cheeses, but it was quite difficult to figure out what he was saying as he shouted a lot and seemed very upset

Nothing blessed about the modern fascination for flavoured ones though - don't get me started on the inexorable fromage of thyme

Video does a good job of accounting for Musk's de facto support for Russia.

I'm not particularly familiar with feline furnishings, but are there absolutely no other cardboard houses for cats on the market?

Most people use an actual house. Not sure what benefit thus cardboard box has over them sleeping wherever the sun is currently and not caring about anything other than if it's food time lol.

Hmm seems this defaulted to me viewing pages from ages ago for some reason.

have we had the new yorker article posted? contains this eyebrow raiser:

'Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1971. His grandfather J. N. Haldeman was a staunch anti-Communist from Canada who in the nineteen-thirties and forties had been a leader of the anti-democratic and quasi-fascist Technocracy movement. (Technocrats believed that scientists and engineers should rule.) “In 1950, he decided to move to South Africa,” Isaacson writes, “which was still ruled by a white apartheid regime.” In fact, apartheid had been declared only in 1948, and the regime was soon recruiting white settlers from North America, promising restless men such as Haldeman that they could live like princes. Isaacson calls Haldeman’s politics “quirky.” In 1960, Haldeman self-published a tract, “The International Conspiracy to Establish a World Dictatorship & the Menace to South Africa,” that blamed the two World Wars on the machinations of Jewish financiers.'

How Elon Musk Went from Superhero to Supervillain

Walter Isaacson’s new biography depicts a man who wields more power than almost any other person on the planet but seems estranged from humanity itself.

Have we had this? There's a threadreader app for people who don't have twitter:

Nasty thread with Linehan (let back into twitter twice? by Musk) to show example - not sure how you actually use it though.

Thread by @AidanCTweets on Thread Reader App

@AidanCTweets: Graham Linehan says he's "still waiting for an example" of his vile bullying behaviour. Here's a non-exhaustive thread of Graham's vile bullying behaviour. 1/ Katy Montgomerie is a trans woman and a f...…

Well this was pretty inevitable: Musk’s Denial of Ukraine’s Starlink Request Prompts Senate Probe

He'll probably get away with it this time but methinks the military establishment will be keeping extremely close tabs on him from now on.

This idea from 1888 was first conceived by Elon musk in 2012
