The rich are predators and I don't think we should allow them in public restrooms, but they should get their own cell in prison.

I guess Musk has been more honest about his views than I'd like to admit (because I missed it for so long), for quite some time This is from October 2014 (also a nice historical example of how the Mars thing was treated as a serious idea rather than marketing web.archive.org/web/20151110...

#ICE #victory

Looks like Sunday, March 2 was a very bad day for ICE in Florida. Biggest news was their defeat in Immokalee, where they were forced by a crowd to release the hostage they had taken. Later came reports they were gone, presumably slinking away in defeat from a mobilized and very angry community.

Earlier in the day came the "white powder" incident that forced evacuation of the ICE office in Miramar, FL. A migrant from Cuba showed up for one of those dangerous "check-in" meetings many refuse to appear for. With him was a bag of what some consider a magical powder in Santiria. It worked some powerful magic on a security guard, who apparently got sick just from looking at a harmless substance. The entire building was evacuated.

Finally came reports that ICE was present in St Petersburg,FL but no reports later, suggesting they batted zero or near zero,

Sounds to me like ICE got their ass handed to them in Fl, a place they no doubt thought was a safe space for hate.

The European Commission is figuring out how it could help Ukraine secure satellite communication capacity in the wake of Elon Musk reportedly threatening to pull Kyiv's access to his Starlink network.

Well, there goes my plan to send our young researcher for a couple of weeks to the USA to work in person with a team I'm collaborating with.

Things I will NEVER celebrate: Private companies doing space missions.

That is the domain of the people of the entire planet, not your little group of wanker buddies.

dear world, all of you

isolate the US immediately and show no mercy

thank you,
an embarrassed and angry US citizen

"Nobody told us Trump was going to do this," cry MAGA voters who only watch FOX News and who spent the last decade calling anyone who tried to educate them a libtard, cuck, or snowflake.

Stand Up for Science March 7, 2025

"We’re mobilizing to keep science free from interference and censorship by government officials.
We’re also mobilizing because attacks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are attacks on
science, and vice versa. Science is at its best when it includes everyone and when it stands to
improve people’s lives."

"Stand Up for Science is officially supporting rallies in Washington DC and 31 other cities around the country. This means that a confirmed site leader—backed by our core team—is actively organizing a public event with SUFS volunteers."

"If your city isn’t listed as a site of an official SUFS rally, you can still make your voice heard by joining the nationwide campus and workplace walkout at 12:00 PM local time on March 7th or adding your local event below."

Europe is going to stimulate it's own industry and economy by rebuilding it's defence and getting more independent from the US.
Ukraine is a strong partner in developing our own industry, weapons etc. , I see a bright future ahead of us.

You know the measles vaccine we keep banging on about? It’s part of the “MMR” series that children get. Measles, mumps and rubella.

This was sadly only a matter of time and completely preventable.

Get your vaccines and boosters while you still can, and wear a mask!

I rather like this infographic warning to new employees (or candidates) wondering whether a particular firm has a toxic culture (from Victoria Repa/LinkedIn).

Sadly it seems to be widely applicable & certainly would be something for anyone developing a career to be thinking about when considering their next steps....

One way to resist toxic management culture is not to collude with the firms that facilitates it... but if you cannot avoid these firms at least be fore-warned!
