This is the only thing musk will be remembered for.

I’ve wondered about that difference as well. If it’s mainly a political or economic thing…

VERY cute ears on the dog. 11/10.

Freedom is Action: A Campaign for Ukraine A fundraiser for life-saving drone-jamming cars and trucks

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it

Under the circumstances, if America can hold on to democracy, and scale up affordable next-gen geothermal power at the same time, I’m not sure the rest of the world could ask for much more. Go America!

How did that go over 😬?

What a legacy ❤️

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Not totally convinced the linked BlueSky account is connected to the podcast by Ben and Anay 😅

Open authoritarianism. Happening right in front of us.

Fascism, y'all. The real thing. Armed crackdowns. Arresting of political dissidents. Right here, in the US. Everything is heading in that direction & there's barely any pushback. It's happening. Buckle up.

On the Doochain, no less.

Careful now. Pull on that string for long enough and you’ll end up with social democracy and a welfare state.

@volts.wtf thank you for this episode it was cathartic listening. A lot to digest in the contrasts you drew out, but I’m stuck with the difference in emotional valence between your perspectives.

I’m halfway through the episode, listening to Dan wondering whether there was anything they could have done in the recent election, and I’m thinking about Elon buying twitter and Bezos buying the Post.

I had the same thought - biotech and pharma has had some big world-changing breakthroughs like Covid vaccine and ozempic. Consumer-facing AI seems fraught (slop) but scientific applications like in bio (alphafold etc) are game-changers.

Had the same reaction. I think they mean CO2 emissions from transport. ourworldindata.org/co2-emission....

I'm starting to think that Trump’s tariff policies may not be in the interests of the American people.

Does that favor Tesla somehow or do Norwegians just not care about Elons politics/antics as much as eg Danes do?

What’s up with Norway?
