No shit.

Source: me. I’ve never been spectacular at math (I can google what I need when I need it), but programming exercises a different brain “muscle,” the linguistic/writing/formal logic stuff.

Judges can and have been issuing rulings “blocking” Trump’s actions. But he ignores those rulings and keeps on going.

At some point, push will come to shove; meaning, these judicial rulings will have to be enforced, somehow.

There’s not really a good vehicle for enforcing the law on rogue presidents. Unless someone is willing to physically arrest and detain him, possibly muscling past secret service in order to (attempt to) do so, they won’t be enforced at all.

If someone will be willing to enforce the law, and can successfully do so, the Constitution may be saved.

If not, we de facto have a king, regardless of de jure court rulings.

I’m (barely) old enough to remember when cable television was touted and sold as “ad free.”

I’m also old enough to remember when satellite radio was touted and sold as “as free.”

Never believe them. Enshittification is inevitable, and planned.

There was a day, not too long ago, where I’d seriously considered buying a Tesla. And I nearly did.

As of today, I for one will never buy a single Tesla product - not a car, not a truck, not a battery, not a robot, whatever - for as long as I live.

And no decision from Tesla leadership will change my mind at this point. Fuck them.

Even if that makes me a crazy old man 30-40 years from now when all this is in the past. Never means never.

That’s where the jobs are.

Not much for good paying work in podunk towns.

I didn’t know it was considered a tankie instance when I signed up, and I’m not a tankie, fwiw.

If you’re not aware, Palantir is named after the scrying tools used by the bad guys in The Lord of The Rings.

Peter Thiel is an evil nerd.

We should never allow MAGA a single moment’s peace then.
