Sounds like heโ€™s going toes-first.

What's Musk doing in the U.S. envoy to China?

I thought he and Trump broke up.

EyeQueue's avatar

All of the CEOs of tech companies are there.

This is very ominous.

swmnguy's avatar

They're as desperate as Trump is. Apparently Chinese AI gets similar or better results using a tiny fraction (like, 1/30th) the energy and computing power.

I'm sure American oligarchs will say the Chinese stole it all. And maybe they did. Of course, it got easier when the US chased away all the Chinese grad students who did the actual research in the US.

But I think they've stuck their neck into the Chinese noose just as firmly as Trump has, so they're there to grovel.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

Well, now that Donnie has destroyed the American economy, those CEOs have to sell their shit *somewhere*

Chemical's avatar

It's Musk. The check cleared, and Trump never says no to a check clearing, no matter what.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

There are NO foreign service personnel on that list. It's all CEOs who have interests in China. It's a delegation to give those CEOs what they want, not what Americans need.

EyeQueue's avatar

There's your "globalism." The global oligarchy that wants to grind us underheel.

What are Eric and Lara doing there. Picking up where Ivanka left off last visit?

She really cleaned up.

This post was full of tweets from virgins.

TerseNurse's avatar

back when *I* was a virgin, we didn't 'tweet'.

We composed caustic telegrams, and posted them in the 'agonies' section

With idiots like this jerk running the education system in Oklahoma no wonder there are so many gullible people there.

Vic's avatar

"Education creates liberals," said Senator Rick Santorum, Republican of Pennsylvania.

We can't have that, now, can we?

EyeQueue's avatar

Funny how that works, right?

My God these fucking people. :( :( :(

Hops: grrrr mad's avatar

I love these self-owns.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

And thatโ€™s not even the best Santorum joke!

Lance Thrustwell's avatar

Personally, I think that people who make a big deal about old-school Christian identities and 'Originalist'-style patriotism should be able to file for no-fault divorce, but they should have to phrase it in antique and portentous language, e.g.

WHEREAS it has become intolerable to both parties to continue this union in its current state, and

WHEREAS the bonds of matrimony have failed to provide aid and succor to those so joined, and

MOREOVER the marital union no longer bears the imprint of holy authority in the Body of God,

BE IT RESOLVED that henceforth, those once joined are now free to bang baristas, waitresses and pool boys to their hearts' content.

StructuralCat PE, SE's avatar

Make them write it in Old English to get that historical and unfathomable feel.

EyeQueue's avatar

They would be unable to do so. It's an entirely different language.

They couldn't even manage the "early modern" English of our Constitution.

Tired of looking at this creep's white bread and mayonnaise visage? Watch a Vancouver โ€‹Russian as he fucks around, finds out:

The protestor who performed the body slam was released at the scene, the Russian tackling dummy was arrested.

Miss Grundy's avatar

That asshole hit the woman and the man. The police should have let her kick in the balls before they put him in the paddy wagon. POS Russian shithead.

gallbladder's avatar

I've seen these pro-Russia fuckers driving around Calgary: They are not wanted. A coffee barista I know makes every effort to speak Ukrainian rather than Russian (indeed, she wants to forget Russian entirely, her words).

I hope the ex-Mrs. Walters meets a man (or woman?) who rocks her world. Not just a good person, but someone crazy good at all sorts of pseudo-perverted sex acts and positions. And that, this information gets back to Ryan.

EyeQueue's avatar

Let's not get wild, now.

Let her wear pants for the first time.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Thatโ€™s a fun moment.

Baconzgood's avatar

Not to disparage his masculinity. However my sons grow better beards in their early 20s.

And they have ugly thin ass blotchy Irish beards (like their dad). Shave that dude.

I've seen 80 year old Greek women that can wear a better mustache. (Too far?)

never too far Baconz, never too far

Meh.....sometimes

EyeQueue's avatar

A classmate of my daughter had a full beard when they were in 9th grade and I thought he was a man of at least 30. XD XD XD XD

I was like, "you get the fuck away from those girls!"

They thought this kid Joe. Was a teacher. He had a full beard in the 10th grade.

WHAT'S THE SPEED NEEDED TO REACH ESCAPE VELOCITY?

Utah approves datacenter twice the size of Manhattan

Facility would require more power than entire state uses and suck up vast amount of water in drought-stricken area

EyeQueue's avatar

It's the environment, STUPIDS!

Miss Grundy's avatar

Those Mormons are extra-stupid, huh? Who's going to pay the electric and water bills for that data center?

"M"'s avatar

I can't upvote that

Dirty Work's avatar

No doubt vast amounts of public money for infrastructure and every tax break imaginable.

It's the rich guys country, we just work here for the time being.

Vic's avatar

The whole state's history is a story of 100% dependence on government handouts. And it's redder than red.

It makes so much sense to plunk this soon to be white elephant in the desert.

Snarfyguy's avatar

"drought-stricken area?"

It's a desert.

Chemical's avatar

Also, this was approved over protests from locals. There were government officials literally telling people to quit acting like a bunch of babies.

Hank Napkin's avatar

โ€ฆor acting like โ€citizensโ€ or some such nonsense.

Chemical's avatar

It's like the one case where NIMBYism was a positive thing, and it didn't work.

Kay Ducky's avatar

That's like the size of the friggin' Death Star.

OT: I have a theory that advertising firms have been lying about their results and that advertising is much less effective than what is being sold to clients. If it ever comes out and is at the scale I suspect, the whole internet advertising model is going to collapse.

Here they are trying to get ahead of it.

I've seen several stories about it over the last decade.

I've paid for online ads. I'm still sceptical that they have much impact at all.

Caepan's avatar

I constantly get ads in my browser for women's clothing.

And I must confess: I do not wear women's clothing.

Ain't it always the way. We need more words โ€“ "irony" just doesn't cover this right wing shite.

hypocris-irony? "hypocrisrony"?
