answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

They need to bring back the lemonade that kills you
Panera Bread fell behind Chipotle and Panda Express, after it began shrinking its sandwiches and skimping on salads.
Now to win customers back, the chain plans to reinvest in the business and undo many of those same cost-cutting measures, it said Tuesday.

Meanwhile you could just launch two (2) Falcon Heavies
Which we already have
Which are very cheap
Which SpaceX also owns
Which are mostly reusable

Starship doesn’t have enough launch fuel to escape low-earth-orbit, so SpaceX’s plan for Artemis III is to launch one, and then launch a bunch more Starships (at least 14!!) with a cargo of extra fuel, and gradually refuel the first one in orbit so it can get it the moon
That’s the actual plan

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

"Just leave" you mean desertion??? That's exactly what he's telling them they should do!
Fox News's Martha MacCallum makes a case for following illegal orders: "If you are in the US military, you sign up, you carry out the mission that is assigned to you. The other option is to not join the military or to leave if you feel you can't carry out an order. But the command is integral."

It's because the big poultry farms would rather destroy tens of millions of birds, piling them in mass graves that then leech toxic metals into the groundwater, than do ONE (1) biosecurity

I hadn't even considered it: how are robots, whose brains are actually in a server farm in Tennessee, supposed to function with the time lag to Mars. Are you going to land an entire server farm?
Musk is asked, "Is A.I. in space possible?"
He says, "Yes, if civilization continues, which it probably will." (Which kinda makes NVIDIA earnings tonight feel like small ball.)

As someone in The Business I think this braindead comment hits at the center of it:
People hate environmental policy for economic reasons but want all of the benefits of environmental policy for them personally. It's a dialectic to be sure but it basically boils down to "people are dumb"

If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
