Then you’ll love this one: I saw a post with a map of the Gaza Strip overlaid with the Buc-ee’s logo. Someone replied:

From the River to the Sea, Buc-ee’s Buy One Get One Free

All the old consumer goods would fall apart because they’re built to fail and non-repairable, so you’d need to buy new ones anyways.

Take that, Communists!

It may seem cruel, but this is the price we have to pay for a Disneyland in the Middle East.

Nissan has manufacturing plants in Tennessee and Mississippi that Tesla may want to get ahold of. In exchange Nissan gets enough cash to survive a while longer until they decide how to waste it.

(DAE remember the Leaf? Shit was dope. What the hell happened?)

Looks like Tesla’s next up to bat. Imagine, the union of the two least reliable car brands! The Japanese government simply will not let Nissan die (or become Chinese).

Apple-FBI encryption dispute

My recollection was erroneous, as I can’t (easily) find evidence of them rolling over. But the devices in question still got unlocked, so in the end it didn’t matter whether Apple (openly or surreptitiously) cooperated.

It’s a good thing Musk wasn’t elected.

Troubling precedent, but I expect no one used this anyways. Anybody who needs this would be smart enough to know not to trust so proprietary a device and service.

Given how readily Apple has rolled over for law enforcement in the past loudly Apple has opposed working with law enforcement in the past, only for devices to be magically unlocked anyways, this is (probably) just security theater.
