The effect that Musk mentioned was, “you can’t really get work done,” which feels less like “Google search” and more like “personal experience.” And I said that “it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point,” which feels like the right sort of certainty for this sort of conclusion from that evidence.

I wasn’t surprised when reading the rest of the comments in this comment section that somebody mentioned that he’s been known to use ketamine recreationally.

Hot Tub Time Machine 3 practically writes itself.

Last year, Musk told CNN’s Don Lemon that he has a ketamine prescription and uses the drug roughly every other week to help with depression symptoms. When Lemon asked if Musk ever abused ketamine, Musk replied, “I don’t think so. If you use too much ketamine you can’t really get work done,” then said that investors in his companies should want him to keep up his drug regimen.

I’m not completely sure what the criteria is for “abusing” ketamine, but since Musk seems to know what happens when you use too much ketamine, it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.

In America, shots get fired into people’s homes on a daily basis. That sort of thing doesn’t usually make even statewide news.

We should worry about fixing those other problems before worrying about some rich prick. If the rich person is so concerned about their safety, why don’t they just hire some private security?

I don’t see any reason why this is being treated as news.

The 14th Amendment states that people exactly like Trump have a “disability” that prevents them from holding office, which can be removed by congress. It also states that congress has the power to enforce it. The criteria for this disability is listed in the amendment.

The moment that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court swore in Donald Trump as President, while Congress refused to enforce the Constitution, all three branches of our Federal government conspired to overthrow the US Constitution.

If we don’t even follow the Constitution, then we are truly a lawless country.

I remember when Musk bought Twitter and then immediately started trying to save money by literally just turning off services to see what breaks.

That actually wouldn’t have been the stupidest idea if he had done it in a test environment rather than production, or even if Twitter was a small website that didn’t mind downtime. But he did it in production on a huge site that people relied on being up, so it actually was the stupidest idea.

And now he’s bringing the same stupidest energy to government. No investigation. No calculation. Just a toddler who has been put in front of a lot of switches.

I’m guessing you’re basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven’t seen it:

Dear Mr. Cox:

Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

Very truly yours,

CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.

If you read into the article, it states

The annual CPJ report, which represents a snapshot of journalists jailed for their work as of Dec. 1, 2024, found 361 journalists behind bars around the world. That’s the second-highest number that CPJ has documented since it started keeping track in 1992.

So, in case anybody was wondering, yes, this is referring to journalists who were “jailed for their work,” and not just journalists who are in jail for whatever reason. I know you might have thought that was obvious, but I think it’s important to point these things out for other cases where the reporting might be more misleading.

It says they use publicly exposed or leaked IAM keys with RW permission to do this, in case anybody is interested in how they get in.

This is what happens when politicians pander instead of listening to science.

I didn’t read the full article, but here are a couple of points from the part I read.

There is a movement called “harm reduction” that has been effective at fighting drug related deaths. (Last Week Tonight did a good piece on it.) The idea is that first, you try to make sure drug users aren’t harmed. So, drug testing strips and clean needles are provided. There may be safe injection locations where people can go to inject themselves. And obviously, they don’t get in trouble with police for doing this.

Only once you do your best to ensure their safety do you need to start helping them to kick the habit.

Texas has basically done the opposite and even fentanyl testing strips are classified as drug paraphernalia. And if you give someone fentanyl and they die, you can be charged with murder. So people in Texas are even afraid to call an ambulance when someone is overdosing.

The article asserts that these harmful policies are why Texas has a drug related death rate that remains high when the same statistic has been falling elsewhere in America.

You didn’t actually explain what the October Surprise Theory was. According to your link:

The 1980 October Surprise theory refers to an allegation that representatives of Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign made a secret deal with Iranian leaders to delay the release of American hostages until after the election between Reagan and President Jimmy Carter, the incumbent.

That doesn’t rule out a ring.

That is one of the things the article says. That making certain parts of the processor bigger reduces error rates.

Don’t forget crypto currencies.

Yoon cited a motion by the country’s opposition Democratic Party, which has a majority in parliament, this week to impeach some of the country’s top prosecutors and its rejection of a government budget proposal.

Imagine declaring martial law, and these were the only concrete reasons you could come up with.

I don’t think it’s so much YOLO as recognizing that Hunter would be a target of Trump once he assumes office.

It seems to me to be a form of self defense. People do things that they otherwise wouldn’t do when the alternative is bad enough.

The toilet break was described as “urgent”.

I’m surprised that they don’t have some contingency plan for this sort of thing. You know, like radio ahead and have a substitute conductor waiting at the next station. Because shit happens.

Maybe they do have a contingency plan and it failed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s trying to become a media personality.

I read the article, and the only abuse here is the state abusing its authority.

I don’t really know much about the mother other than what’s in the story, but she obviously raised a child who feels independent enough to walk a mile to town by himself at age 11. (The title says “10”, but the article says “11”.) I would say that this is a positive thing.

On the other hand, the state is threatening to take away all of her children with this single incident. The state wants to break up this family unless she complies with all of their invasive demands. Breaking up a family seems like tyranny, especially in response to such an innocent incident.

Honestly, it is such an obvious lie, too. Can companies really just lie in their filings to the FTC?
