What's that like Kepler likes to post? "Believe them when they say who they are?"

It was a little TOO on-the-nose of the Boring Company to name their drilling rig Godot. (For you non historical literary fans, search the plot of "Waiting for Godot.")

Samuel Beckett is the only person to play first class cricket and win a Nobel prize. There is a theory that Godot is an allegory for cricket as Beckett was a talented all-rounder but never picked up a wicket in the couple first class games he played.

This one was in my feed today - I assumed that you'd seen the same story. Well, I guess it is same story, different town:

Elon Musk's Boring Company Ghosts Cities Across America (msn.com)

But Boring's bait-and-switch did get San Bernardino to kill plans for their light rail, so Musk probably achieved what he was looking for in the first place.
 
Mastodon is never going to be a thing...no matter how much people try to push it. Hell falls the ones pimping it have already stopped and started pimping Post.
 
Far be it from me to use a phrase like shadow banning but I have noticed tweets that used to get a few thousand impressions now get dozens. Maybe. I have tweets from yesterday and today that have <20 impressions. All that is going to do is inspire me not to use the site anymore. It is NOT going to inspire me to shell out $8/month for a megaphone.

AMC TV laying off 20% of its workforce - starting with the CEO. She didn't even have the job three months but I'd bet her severance package will be more generous than anyone else they're laying off.

Do they have anything good left? They're kinda reaching the very end of a good 10-15 year run at this point.
 
So the Chicago Purchasing Manager's Index dropped to 37.5 missing the expected 47. A PMI > 50 indicates a potentially expanding economy and < 50 indicates a potentially shrinking economy. Lowest since COVID crash and before that, the Great Recesssion.

Like I always say Mr. McD, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!"

This isn't so much a crash as a water landing where they only give lifeboats to the first class passengers. This was a planned recession. Powell openly admitted that workers had too much power so he was going to tank the economy to force people to accept lower wages and worse conditions.
 
One wonders how someone got so bored with space travel to Mars that they decided to get into the social media game. Whoever that person is must have a mental illness that is beyond human comprehension.

Yeah that is going to go well for him...

The media of course will ay it up as "Lazy Millennels Dont Want to Work" and the Boomers will lap it up like its Ensure.

"Corporate media use of gender and racial tropes is a blunt instrument for dividing and weakening workers!"
