I'm quitting twitter for good. Not even going to log in any more. My last post was on Dec 11th 2022. Here it is:

That is it for me! Musk is nuts. This is my last post on this platform. I feel guilty by association.
Fuck Musk. Goodbye

Everyone should quit twitter and move to Bluesky.
It did release the mock satellites though. That is probably worth the loss of a starship. See if next one carries real satellites and then blows up on landing.
not so bad so.

by any real standard of reusability, Starship is still a failure. It hasn’t flown to orbit and back intact once, let alone been reused. Progressively less-destructive test failures dressed up as milestones. When they give us inside footage of starship during reentry I'll believe it.

@prune602.bsky.social Thank you very much Queen of Anglo Saxonia. You really cut through the bullshit, every time. Well done!

This gap is a direct indicator of severe credit destruction and economic contraction, one of the most reliable signs of a system approaching breakdown. 2/2

@prune602.bsky.social Thanks for all the great work. Your Darth Putin interview was excellent. You are doing a service to all by documenting the Russian economy. It seems that Russia is forgiving debts from some of its 'regions'. a kind of Jubilee but that can only be done once. End in sight.

This appears to be a diplomatic meeting that became contentious. Different people might interpret this exchange differently based on their views about appropriate diplomatic conduct, leadership styles, and the geopolitical situation regarding Ukraine.

No. There is no verified evidence that Trump lied during his meeting with Zelensky.

looking at this exchange from February 28, between Trump, Zelensky, and Vance, it’s a tense back-and-forth. Whether Trump behaved "disgracefully" here hinges on how you weigh his tone and approach.

For what it is worth. I put the text of the exchange in the White House into 3 AIs,
The question was: Did Trump and Vance act disgracefully?
OpenAI o3-high said no, but changed to yes when forced to make a choice.
Grok3 behaved the same.
Anthropic Claude 3.5 said absolutely no.

Zelenski probably understands the risk to his safety in Saudi Arabia. Wasn't there a bit of bother there regarding the safety of some diplomatic visitors? Also Khashoggi didn't do too well on Saudi Arabian territory (the Saudi Arabian embassy in Turkey). mmmm...

@darthputinkgb.bsky.social Thanks, just ordered all three. I don't buy from amazon otherwise I would have bought them before this.
