It’s hilarious to watch how these people screw up on social media. In every practical sense they are untouchable but online they just keep owning themselves. Continually. Every day.

I’m hoping Unsworth takes the opportunity to extract some decent cash out of this.

Accusing the diver that found 13 people trapped in a cave and worked to save them for over two weeks of being a pedophile—just for having the temerity to criticize his unused submarine—could be safely called a new low.

Cave rescuer, Vern Unsworth, on Musk: “It was a PR stunt. It had no chance of working.”

Lesson to Musk: only insert yourself into situations where actual experts are not present.

Calm now, these people donate to both political parties all the time.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. Political donors are all members of a separate species of lizard people who want to control the government.

They want to change our atmosphere so that it’s just like the one on their home planet.

Electric vehicles have been touted since well before internal combustion engines were common. A fleet of electric cabs were proposed for London in the 1880s.

So what happened? Why did it take so long for electric vehicles to become a thing.

Forget conspiracy theories and “roads not taken” type historical speculation. The reasons were always technical. The main reason being energy density. Nothing comes close to petrol in terms of joules per cubic metre. Certainly not a lead-acid battery in 1912. A century later and we are only now in a place where batteries can compete.

Petroleum sucks but when looked at from the point of view of what it made possible, it was and remains a miracle substance.

FACT: you are not smart enough to not use two-factor authentication on your primary email.

FACT: you are not smart enough to not use two-factor authentication on your primary email.

If you are targeted by a spear-phishing operation, you will fail.

If you lose control of your primary email address, you will also lose control (via lost password recovery) of all your online accounts and probably of your phone and other devices as well.

You don’t need to be famous or important to be a target of a spear-phishing operation. Thanks to countless data leaks over the past decade, your identity has already been leaked to hackers. It’s not a question of if but when.

Use two-factor authentication.
