6·8 days agoYeah exactly. CNBC aren’t really twisting anything here, and they even mention the WaPo article in the 2nd bullet point at the top.
If there’s anyone worth looking at over the release of this story it’s WaPo. One could reasonably assume that Bezos wanted this story published, as Musk is a big rival. However at the same time they’ve just announced that they won’t endorse anyone for this election for the first time in decades, which at best could be seen as hedging their bets in case of a Trump presidency but at worst be seen as pandering to Trump.
Pretty sure this podcast stays on topic throughout. There’s a chunk of background, of course, because it basically has to explain the joke every time so the discussion can happen.

No, she didn’t. However she did end up in aerospace anyway.
There was a 16th Minute of Fame podcast episode about it, including a recent interview:

Homer didn’t deny anything, he wasn’t even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn’t help.
NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.

Apparently “free speech” means Elon is free to ban journalists who publish things he doesn’t like.
Nah I’ve seen him interviewed on news channels a couple times since then. Not a full on sit down face to face long format interview, but still a solo on-air appearance.
The main one I’m thinking of was when Taylor Swift said something nice about him, the reporter told him first in the middle of the interview.
the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s first solo on-air conversation since becoming Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Pretty sure he’s had plenty of solo conversations before this.
Honestly, if they can’t even get the basics right in the first paragraph I’m not going to continue reading.
Yep that sounds like the story!
Yeah I suspect this was filmed at the original version, from memory they toured around a bit and then cheaped out and fucked it all up. Like, the new Shrek costume was really bad and just looked like a green man had been shopping at the Gap.
Edit: according to the video linked in the comment below, it first ran in 2008 and was really good. Then, in 2024 they revived it, and it was bad. Really bad. For starters, the revival was anti-union and didn’t hire any union workers.
Didn’t they like stop paying the actors or something and then cheap out with the costumes?
Hell the US came and joined Israel’s side in a war after the IDF sank the USS Liberty.

My experience is limited, but not no experience. In any case, it’s not like Windows 10 will be immediately unusable when support ends.
What are your plans when end of life /support comes to Windows ten?
Switch to Linux and run virtual machines when I need to use Windows.
Right now I don’t quite have the drive to do it, but an end to support for Windows 10 would push me over the edge. I just can’t stand Windows 11, not even because of all the bullshit but just the way it mandates the UI structure - last time I tried it my dealbreaker was that you can’t just have it always display all taskbar icons, you have to manually force each one to show. If a new icon comes up, it will be hidden.
I’m sure I’ll be there with you soon enough.
