ALTMAN, on Musk:

“.. I wish he would just compete by building a better product. .. Probably his whole life is from a position of insecurity, I feel for the guy... I don't think he's, like, a happy person.”

Hey @edzitron.com I know you’re busy at CES so I snagged you a copy of this. Anyone who has not already rushed out to purchase a very cool-looking AR headset will undoubtedly do so now.

My family is a dumpster fire, so I knew the holidays were gonna be bleak. I did not foresee having to call a wildlife officer to help me euthanize a baby deer that had been mortally wounded by dogs. The upside: Next really can only be better!

Tired of doing all of the work for holidays, my wife and I decided to just show up and NOT make Thanksgiving happen. We are now in the “Finding Out” phase. Someone just left in a panic for “Target” at 7:15 am.
