valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion

That is really impressive stuff. Well done. The detail on the ears, eyelashes etc. is all superb.

Lad I know whose nickname is milk bottle.

Well, we all knew they would be damning as fuck and they are damning as fuck.

How they goaded him into releasing those damning as fuck texts instead of just saying “sorry, we fucked up” is beyond me but here we find ourselves.

Feel like they’re gonna throw Hegseth under the bus now.

Are you assuming there were any messages prior to the group chat?

It’s not fuzzy at all. He was accidentally invited to a group chat. They thought he was someone else.

If you’ve ever used signal, the detail in the article would be more than enough to understand the sequence of events.

Look, I’ve been to the states a good 7 or 8 times and I’m really very fond of the place and the people generally. That includes the, hands down, best summer of my life on a college visa.

I will not be going back there until shit calms down. I just can’t gamble on the notion of spending weeks in a cold, overly bright shithole cell on the whim of anyone on the way through just for a holiday when I can spin over to any country in Europe and just get a smile and a “Welcome” from the border security on my way in.

It just wouldn’t be a rational choice.

edit: I just want to add in that the EU pumps an enormous amount of money on the Erasmus scheme. If you’re not in the know the idea is to get kids in college in one country to do a year of the course in another country in Europe. The only real goal of this is to make people realise that they’re just like everyone else in Europe so we never have an internal war again and it is (along with a few other bits) the best money the EU spends IMO.

Thanks for the response. That’s the thing - I feel like they’re big enough personalities on their own to get elected. AOC did it initially on a shoestring is my understanding and she’s well past the point of having voter recognition.

Genuine question to our American friends:

How come Bernie, AOC, Crockett etc. don’t start their own party? They can pledge to vote with the dems where it makes sense and they have enough political capital to continue getting elected. Seems like an ideal time to create a 3rd (actual alternative) party, no?

It might force the republicans to create an alt right and centre right party too which I feel would erode some of the alt right because from experience most Americans are not that alt right.

He’s not far off my mother’s age and she’s doing great so I have that to compare to but jaaayyysus… I would not want to be fighting as hard as he is at his age. Man deserves some rest.

AAAAACQUUAAAAAAAAA

Ooof :(

I’m pretty sure it is. That’s my gut. I really fucking hope I’m right.

It has been a long, long ten years.

I was told time would speed up as I aged.

You are incredibly lucky. Like my tap water is fairly great and all but not 4am great. Nom nom nom. Bueno.

Same :D After a few drinks that middle of the night water just hits like an angel crying on my tongue.

There’s a classic that Irish rail used to pull out of their bag of shite excuses until they got slagged to death over it:

Leaves on the track.

No joke. C’mon now lads. In fairness though the train service in Dublin and inter-city is pretty reliable and reasonable.

Almost certainly. Maybe it tastes nice. Not something I’d be rushing to try mind you.
