3 wowsWell, I did a thing. I put in a reservation on an Aptera https://aptera.us/ . It was only $100 and I can always change my mind later, but I just really like what they are doing. I know at one time it seemed like they probably wouldn't ever actually have a product, but I've been watching them pretty closely for a while now and I'm confident they'll be producing vehicles soon. I just really like the whole concept and their attitude towards right to repair etc. It may be a couple years before I get one since they are targeting 20,000 vechicles a year at first, but my current vehicle is paid off and in good condition so I'm not worried about it.

3 wowsWTF, Israel is shutting down Al Jazeera due to “National security.”
The Knesset approved on Monday evening the so-called Al Jazeera law, giving the government temporary powers to prevent foreign news networks from operating in Israel if they are deemed by the security services to be harming national security.

The Trump Two-Step
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-trump-two-step/ar-BB1l4ORm
On Tuesday, Trump spoke in Michigan, where he once again used the word, this time literally. “I stand before you today to declare that Joe Biden’s border bloodbath—and that’s what it is; it’s a bloodbath; they tried to use this term incorrectly on me two weeks ago … but it’s a border bloodbath, and it’s destroying our country,” he said. The Republican National Committee also launched a website called BidenBloodbath.com, which warns that “there is blood on Biden’s hands.” (In the same speech, Trump said that accused criminals are “not humans; they’re animals,” the sort of dehumanizing rhetoric that helps create conditions for violence.)
Trump ends up getting it both ways: He attacks the media for misrepresenting him as a prophet of violence, then turns around and blithely prophesies violence. Anyone who’s willing to gamble that he won’t be making even more explicit predictions of election-related bloodshed by this summer is either a political hack or a fool easily parted from his money (or perhaps both, like Musk).
Once you recognize the Trump Two-Step, you see it everywhere. -

1 wowsEverything seems to be happening at once. I was in an arcade yesterday with friends and they had like pretty much every arcade game I grew up tossing quarters for as a kid. This is the place btw https://freeplayinc.com/dallas/
There are a lot of talks about singularity, AI, the whole 9 yards however you want to define that entire thing. I don't think it matters how you define it because its so obviously clear that time and space are being crunched into a determinable and solitary unit, what was "then" is "now" and , similar to how you will have kids one day and reproduce, time itself is doing the same thing and reproducing itself in moments. Everything is just happening as it was over and over again, and nothing new happens. It is virtually impossible for anything new to happen - things repeat themselves. That is why there are so many sequels now and that is also formally why you want to make a baby with your girlfriend or wife, because you want to repeat yourself . You want to continue . it is just like an arcade game
I was playing dynamite arcade with my friend and the screen came up after we died. "Continue?" Said the screen. Do you want to repeat? Continue, thats it - that is the entire thing. That is what we are doing. Do you want to go to work today? Put in another quarter and keep playing the game. Do you want to fuck your wife or boyfriend in the ass? I have some unfortunate news for you, you have to put in another quarter
