Every time Tesla stock rises, I wonder if it's due to some complex financial strategy, but no, it's because the dumbest fucks on the planet think Elon is going to make them personal robots.

Like many who grew up Extremely Online in the early Internet era, I wonder at how easily teens get radicalized, when the 90s Internet was still full of horrors in every dark corner.
I figure it's because it's all so systematized into an efficient workflow of turning boys into hate demons.

I suspect "low information voters" is a good shorthand for every person in line ahead of you at a checkout who is apparently making a purchase for the very first time in their entire life

Not much to add here except that I feel obligated to note that @edzitron.com referred to CoreWeave as a "Time Bomb" with "utterly rancid" financial disclosure docs. No mention of investment in black coats, white shoes, black hats, or Cadillac.
Newsletter: We need to talk about CoreWeave, the first big IPO of the generative AI bubble, with a speculated $35bn valuation, burdened by ruinous debt, impossible-to-meet capacity obligations, and a data center partner that's never built any AI compute.

Love how much the Internet in 2025 has turned into Plagiarism Machine that I've seen SEVERAL examples of someone sharing the Mark Rober Tesla stunt with "someone did this" as if it's impossible to figure out the identity of the world's second most popular vlogger.

To my mind it was during the George Floyd protests, when self-described libertarians got super quiet about the unsanctioned killing of an unarmed citizen by an agent of the state, that their conversion into authoritarianism was complete. Jillette had the good sense to say "yeah, no, this is awful."
the thing you could always tell with Penn and Teller is even when they were incredibly wrong it was never out of a desire to inflict cruelty or pain, and once most of the libertarian movement merged with the authoritarian right cruelty was the whole game
I really do love that Penn Jilette was a lifelong libertarian anarcho-capitalist who was just like "whoops! Yeah, sorry, completely wrong on that one. Bullshit ideology for losers" in 2020. I really do! An inspiring lack of ego on him

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

He went full bore villain during early COVID lockdown, but pitched a pointless hissy fit during the Thai cave rescue in 2018. I don't see a whole lot of model year 2017 or older Teslas out there, so...
No you didn't. You just weren't paying attention.

Obviously some strayed from that and caused a ruckus of their own volition, but the Dem leadership STILL seems terminally incapable of putting down the 2015 playbook.
I can honestly think of no better way to signal that your opposition will be entirely performative than "let's all hold up cute little coordinated signs like some 'Ellen' bit."

Luv 2 hear older folks saying "aren't you worried about your retirement savings?" As if everyone under 45 doesn't already view retirement as some Victorian era classist frivolity we'll be too busy fighting in the climate wars to ever enjoy

Concorde is even more instructive: looked pretty, tried to break physics, never made money, ultimately discontinued. But unlike Concorde, which was always limited in scope, the entire tech industry has built a house of cards on AI that still burns more money than it makes with every prompt.
Hypergrowth number-go-up mentality in tech always reminds me of 1950s blustering futurist visions of commercial flights to the moon, when instead aviation as an industry finally ran into the corner of physics and economics, so air travel now is only incrementally different from 50 years ago.
