Whoa. I was thinking it was a cute idea if a bit over the top. My thought process was:

Oh, that’s kinda cool. Probably some yuppie couple or grandparents in Santa Fe.

Oh my god that is atrocious tragedy

Okay, this is amazingly bad. Borderline so bad it’s good. It’s like someone was trying to be quirky, but somehow lacked the skill.

How many fucking beds are there? What is this, a cult?

Oh, AirBnB. That explains everything.

Also$1.5M buys you a shitload of house in Wisconsin.

It looks like a playhouse pueblo inside that’s probably an actual pueblo. I’d bet this is a fairly expensive place around Santa Fe or something like that.

Sure, that’s possible. But why would you include a picture of that room in that condition? Get ten boxes and shove them into the garage, or just leave that room out of it and get it cleaned before people start coming by. It’s a weird choice for a house listed for $1.25M.

“Innocent until proven guilty” isn’t really the problem. That’s the assumption the government has to make, and it’s a pretty good idea.

He’s not the government nor is he acting in a legal capacity. It’s perfectly fine - it’s even perfectly logical - to look at the evidence brought against someone and decide that they’re guilty. I think Trump is guilty as fuck. It doesn’t mean he’s going to get a guilty verdict, but he sure as hell did the things he’s charged with, and more.

Ashton’s position was that his friend was innocent. Despite the testimony of the women involved, he played coy. Again, that’s his right, but it’s something you’d expect from someone with a more obviously misogynistic history. A better statement would have been something like “I know Danny, and I can’t imagine him doing that. I hope he didn’t commit those rapes and that he is found innocent, but the women deserve to be heard and I hope justice is done.” He could even leave off the bit about justice if he’s still wanting to go to Danny’s holiday party.

Anyway, what people are really pissed about is that, after all the evidence was presented and the guilty verdict was returned, both he and Mila wrote letters to the judge asking for leniency in sentencing and stating that he was not a danger to anyone. That’s throwing shit right into the faces of the women he raped. They chose to side with their Hollywood friend over the victims he raped, because they think he’s still a nice guy despite it all. It’s offensive to everyone, but especially to rape victims. It’s hard enough to go to trial and get a conviction for a rapist. It is estimated that over 450,000 rapes occur in the US each year. There’s only about 3000 rape convictions per year. That’s a less than 1% chance that a rape results in a conviction. It’s also a traumatic process for the victim, who faces everything from victim blaming to having to relive the event over and over and in public.

So, they’re both assholes in my book. No talent ass-clowns, if you like. I hope this stays around long enough to get them blacklisted. Let it be an albatross around their necks.

“My leg was in half, my bone was sticking out,” he told KHON. “There was blood squirting out.”

Doctors at the Hilo Medical Center were able to save Clinton’s leg, and he’s been ordered to stay off of it for six weeks, the outlet reported.

Jesus christ.

Monkey see monkey do would have been an opt phrase for this phenomenon, but there is one more pressing issue that lies beneath the facet of this popular culture

One thing I can say with some confidence is that this is too badly written to have been generated by a bot.

They’re still pretty right wing afaik, but it shows what concerted action between employees and the community can do.

Coors was among the first companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and was named the Corporation of the Year by the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, despite being a right wing company in general.

First of all, Musk burdened twitter with a level of debt that cost (last estimate that I saw) $1B/year to service. This data center would not have been a problem if he had actually been a good businessman and, you know, didn’t massively overpay with a debt-funded takeover while waiving due diligence on a company he didn’t want in a market he completely doesn’t understand. He set fire to $44B. Twitter’s current valuation has been estimated to be as low as $4B. I personally think that’s low, but the May estimate was $15B (which didn’t include the loss of branding hit).

So his recklessness and complete lack of understanding combined with his overconfidence and incompetence made the $100M savings into peanuts compared to what he destroyed by pulling exactly the same kind of move throughout the business.

Now combine that with the very probable fact that this saved no where near $100M. Shitty shifting of servers breaks hardware. They weren’t prepped to receive them at the destination. They ended up with major drops in service, including Elmo having to shut twitter down for a weekend because they couldn’t handle the traffic. Now he’s whining about “scraping” and trying to squeeze blood from a stone in the face of advertisers abandoning him.

This in no way generally worked. Things are absolutely falling apart around their ears. I’ve stopped even trying to follow twitter links because they work less than half the time since I don’t have an account.

Elon is Dilbert’s pointy-haired boss with a lot of money and a PR firm.

Personally identifiable information (PII) is any set of data that has a chance to uniquely identify a person, including name, address, credit card info, social security, etc. It can also include things like birthdate, city, IP address, and so on, depending on how the combination of data works. The general rule of thumb is that you want to aggregate out to the city level at least, or completely anonymize the data. These, I’m supposing, we’re raw records that contained account info.

It’s not one day. It’s happening in the headlines as we watch. Some estimates are that twitter has lost 90% of its value in the (a bit under a full) year since Elmo took over. Post-rebranding, some financial institutions and even one of Musk’s own dumb-ass shoot from the hip tweets puts twitter’s current value at around $4-5B.

Even if that’s low, I think the best case estimate, before rebranding, was sitting around $15B. That’s still a loss of 2/3 value in less than a year (that was in May) and it hasn’t gotten better since the attempted rebrand.

It’s happening, and his incompetence is on full display. He’s even reached the stage of megalomania where he’s blaming the Jews.
