Thanks for single-handedly maintaining the connections to local events in this community! It’s nice seeing things that aren’t just copy-paste headlines I could’ve seen in plenty of other outlets 🙂

I have a difficult time separating the Elonverse from all the incredibly cool shit SpaceX keeps doing. I have to constantly remind myself that I’m following it for the engineers that are pioneering breakthrough tech and that it has nothing to do with Mr. Elmo. How you walk that tightrope when you’re a policymaker must be even more challenging.

It’s a bad line for sure. I watched and read through the follow-up quotes and I think this bit is important to read along with it:

“The mayor was not praising them, he was referencing they have an objective reputation as leaders in technology and innovation, and that it is a danger they are in the president’s orbit,” Housen said. “He certainly doesn’t agree with their politics, which is why he highlighted this through concerns around the actions coming out of DC like significant staffing cuts impacting cybersecurity and the degradation of protections and questions over access to personal data.”

Could’ve been foot-in-mouth syndrome, and I think the concerns he shared about federal layoffs support his real intent. I know it’s easy to see red right now, and that’s why it’s important to distinguish the real problems.

How do you feel about content like this? It’s long form, informative, and hobbyist.

Or this guy who generates customer leads to his interior design business?

Yep. It’s pretty nuts how much they can push over copper. And remember that just having a coax cable at your house doesn’t mean it’s copper the whole way back to the ISP.

Remember, the universe for those stats are only voters which account for less than half of the total US population.

What evidence are you using to support your belief that she tanked? That’s a surprise to me and I’d like to understand more.

I recognize this isn’t what the article is about but they mentioned Sawant, and I find it ironic that she routinely wouldn’t show up to meetings as a council member, yet does show up when she’s not.

Good margins is why they’re fine.

Yep and your landlord, nor any other, will ever, ever, ever forget to do that (or decline to raise it) if this passes. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yep! It always smelled better than it tasted in my opinion, but I’m happy that the chocolate popcorn fans have their obsession back.
