Edge of Tomorrow at 10: Tom Cruise’s sci-fi spectacle gets better every time
Time has been kind to this pacey mash-up of Groundhog Day and action movie, in which a reluctant soldier fights aliens and dies in a seemingly endless time loop

There is now a very real possibility of a 220R-215D House breakdown (net +2 for Dems vs. '22 result), w/ Trump seeking to pluck at least three GOP members (Gaetz, Stefanik, Waltz) for administration jobs (217R-215D?).

Given BYD existing market share, blade blade battery 2 rolls out next year expect a big jump on sales. 25% more energy density, cheaper and charges much faster.
*taps mic*
Each year, I hear about all the reasons that EVs will fail, and each year sales keep going up.
On track for just under 17 million in 2024, in line with BNEF forecast's from the start of the year

``Make 'em dry,'' is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, ``make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week.''

I met Charlie Kaufman, as he was at the urinal next to me. The height difference (I'm 6' 1' and he is 5' 4') made a urinal conversion even more awkward.
Twitter is doing “best celebrity interactions” discourse so we should do WORST ones
not necessarily like that they were a jerk, just that the interaction itself was a fail on some level
like one time Robert Sean Leonard walked past me and I short-circuited so badly I spilled guacamole on myself

I remember doctors bitterly complaining about Obamacare because it forced them to use digital records and do "more paperwork".
I hope they show up to speak against this bs.

This will hurt Tesla quite a bit.

If they are the only ones that can get BYD Blade battery 2 into the US without tariffs b/c elon, that can help quite a bit.
Blade 2 is 190 wh/kg, sub-$60 a kwh and charges in 11 minutes. Complete game changer.

Guessing the idea here is Tesla squeezing its competition plus free up money for tax cuts.

Researchers say Twitter changed its algorithm to promote posts from Elon Musk and Republicans in the run-up to the election.
"The date at which (the spike) in engagement occurs coincides with Elon Musk's formal endorsement of Donald Trump on 13th July 2024."

Continued economic upheaval of the media/journalism, first by internet advertising, then social media, streaming and now short form video leads media employees to believe economic conditions are far worse than actually they are.
I guarantee you that whatever you're about to suggest that Biden do to get the narrative of his policy accomplishments out in the public, he already did it. The problem was a media environmental fundamentally more interested in doom and nihilism
What frustrates me about your theory of the case is you talk a lot about media signal and yet refuse to accept that in addition to changing that signal in order to earn the trust of cynical swing voters you cannot come empty handed after four years in office. Biden’s narrative telling was terrible
