His brother? Spared "no expense" building a state of the art theme park that ended up killing so many people (and almost killing his own grandkids) before it opened that they had to scrap the whole thing. And it was a damn good thing his granddaughter knew Unix systems (and wasn't eaten first), or it surely would've killed more.

You got me at first and I almost went looking for references of David's evil brother. TIL the actor who played the character of John Hammond in the film Jurassic Park and its sequel was David Attenborough's elder brother.

Das ist –für die, die es nicht wissen– Leetspeak für »Fotzenfritz«, einen Friedrich Merz von der Zeitschrift Titanic verpassten Spitznamen. Der Autor, Martin Sonneborn, ging in einem Vortrag darauf ein.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? I think Musk would rather have TSLA ~~bagholders~~ shareholders prop up his private companies, of which he likely owns a higher percentage than Tesla. The pitch could be that xAI has what Tesla needs for some of the vaporware he keeps promising and that Tesla should therefore acquire xAI.

I don't think so, at least when it comes to US citizens, because deportations would cost them and spark controversy for no benefit. I think they'd prefer to keep these deeply indebted people in the US as indentured servants willing to work for pennies and too poor to engage politically.

I didn't mean to dispute that. I just checked what you stated and posted what I found for anyone else who, like me, wasn't up to date on this meeting. I share your assessment.

The AP reported:

The 88-year-old pope offered the Catholic vice president three big chocolate Easter eggs for Vance’s three young children, who did not attend, as well as a Vatican tie and rosaries.

You've conjured images in my mind. I wish you hadn't.

Whatcha gonna do next, separate boys and girls again? Make all females wear sacks?

Don't give them ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if they promoted gender segregation as some form of “protection against the ~~gay~~ trans threat”.

The US has cut off intelligence-sharing with Kyiv in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military’s ability to target Russian forces, according to officials familiar with the matter.

The move follows the decision on Monday by the Trump administration to suspend military aid deliveries to Ukraine and comes after a dramatic breakdown in relations between the US president and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

[…]

While the US has also formally blocked its allies from sharing US intelligence with Ukraine, two officials said that recipients with assets inside the country were likely to continue passing on relevant intelligence to Kyiv. But that would not apply to time-sensitive and high-value intelligence, such as that needed for Ukraine to conduct precision strikes on moveable Russian targets.

The US decision to ban its allies from passing intelligence to Ukraine was first reported by the Daily Mail.
