He already debunked you guys:

"but I did eat breakfast this morning?"

He should put it in terms he can understand...

Would your wife prefer to be lost in the woods with a bear, an Afghan man or an Englishman?

Because I have to make stuff in America every day because I work in the defense industry. The stuff that Anduril makes every day is not actually that different from a computer. My drones are basically computers. They have memory, a GPU, a CPU, sensors, batteries, a rugged integration.

Yet the replies all think he's making these components in the US.  

Right now Elon is alone keeping the US industrial base relevant - would be good to have a second champion

Tesla has like two factories and sources nearly everything from other countries too.  

 Good news, that's defense policy for the last century.

The woman who wants to run Berlin wrote in the margins of a Spiegel interview that she and her husband are afraid of Hamas sympathizers in the city, and asked her team if they could cancel the whole interview.

Her office sent the notes to Spiegel by mistake.

The man she was afraid to name is Ibrahim Ibrahim, a PFLP supporter who called Sinwar, the man who led the October 7th massacres a "martyr hero." He showed up at her party's victory celebration in Neukölln. Days later he flew to Istanbul for a conference with Hamas-linked figures.

Berlin's own intelligence service lists the group he works for as a Hamas support organization.

Elif Eralp won the election on September 20. Her party doubled its vote. She is now negotiating with the Greens and SPD to become governing mayor, which means she would be responsible for the city's police and security.

The police advised her not to name names. If the candidate for mayor is too scared to say out loud who is intimidating her, the people doing the intimidating already have more power in Berlin than the people who are supposed to govern it.

Islamoleftism going well

Odd that Zac goldsmith is getting involved in this but I suppose his dad did hate the BBC

i understand the thrust of his point but this guy was a sufi, which automatically makes him controversial in that part of the world

Good chance he wins. Human Rights tribunals are bananas

I like how they use unmodified industry terms. Straight up calling it “ass smothering”

A few weeks ago the train tracks in the Netherlands were sabotaged.

Unknown saboteurs put logs on the tracks all over the country.

Overall there are serious concerns over railway safety in Europe.

I didn't know you were even allowed to declare yourself two spirit if you're not a native American. Sounds like super duper cultural appropriation

What are they gonna do, question his indigenous heritage? That's verboten.

*See the case of Bruce Pascoe in Australia who wrote some fantasy story about the famously hunter gatherer indigenous Australians building cities and using advanced farming techniques. He claimed indigenous heritage (no evidence of this exists and all evidence points to him having NO indigenous heritage at all) and that immediately stopped almost all criticism and anyone questioning his claims was immediately branded racist.

I particularly like that he notes the increased steel output as a good thing when that's something that completely fucked the farmers when Mao demanded that they melt everything they could get their hands on including their farming tools.

I missed this whole ad sponsored by "Israel did 9/11" Cenk

Edit: It got called out by (former?) white supremacist Richard Spencer

I raise you Nicki Minaj.

If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.

What is happening.

Real life sure is boring. In movies gangsters will drive to a vet to treat their gunshot wounds after a failed home invasion because they know they'll instantly get arrested if they show up at a hospital.
In real life they just go to a hospital and the police will say that they can't connect the dots between someone getting shot during a home invasion and someone arriving at a hospital to treat a gunshot wound.

We want to address some confusion surrounding the investigation into the home invasion in the Bridle Path neighbourhood.

Investigators immediately recognized the potential connection between the home invasion and the individual who showed up at hospital with a gunshot wound.

But recognizing a potential suspect and having enough evidence to arrest them are two different things. Suspicion alone isn’t enough. Police need reasonable grounds, supported by evidence, to make an arrest.

We will continue to gather evidence and will go where the evidence takes us. We are grateful for the professionalism, tenacity and commitment of our investigators who continue this work.

Let’s keep the focus where it belongs: finding the outstanding suspects and holding those responsible for this violent home invasion accountable.

The co-pilot of the crashed plane was a woman and for some reason people are grading her last thirty seconds in which she actually stayed admirably professional
