We should file Arteta’s book of people next to Romney’s binders full of women

10. 616 Peter Parker should start dating Spider-Gwen, and everyone in his life should be extremely mad at him about it.

The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar—because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics a...

The Black Count is an excellent biography of Thomas Alexandre.

Pretty sure Alexandre would be considered black in the States; Alexandre Fils would likely be able to pass as white though

“Dumas” is also apparently the gallicized version of an African word or name

President Spanberger has vowed to exterminate the Trumpist rebels, who currently hold southern Florida along with Alabama and Mississippi

Former President Trump has not been seen, but Stephen Miller from the Mar a Lago ballroom has stated they will fight to the last man

I mean yes but doing so mean's he has pretty much already lost said civil war already.

I’m not exactly sure how exactly that worked since Thomas-Alexandre’s father sold her to a Baron in Nantes; there also seems to have been a property dispute in French courts over them with his father’s widow?

Still surprised about this too. *Harvey Weinstein* doesn’t seem to have been close to Epstein. bsky.app/profile/amrk...

We didn't make AI Einstein or AI Lenin or whoever.

We made AI Don Quixote de la Mancha.

Actually we’re also overindexed on “GOP just refusing to seat everyone” because it’s not a thing where there’s a mechanism for it to happen. The only version of it is “Republican congressmen-elect do not accept the legitimacy of Dem congressmen-elect” and then dueling congresses?

But in parts of Pennsylvania and Texas, you’ll get the buggies

Yes

Hence why it’s a pretend path to profitability

There is another…

(Noem)

They have one of the specific use cases! (Taxis in car-based major metropolitan areas)

*whispers* self-driving cars are a boondoggle outside of specific use cases

This is why Musk’s new pretend path to profitability is robots instead of robotaxis

they’ve ignored them because there’s no money in it and the tech doesn’t work without geofencing
