Yesterday was Elon’s greatest magic trick. It got everybody believe an amazing technological gap had just been made. I got fooled too. At first, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I was so excited. And don’t get me wrong , the technology, the precision at which the car did what it did, was fabulous. However, it was not a car doing it. And that is the true, Machiavellic genius of Elon. There is no flying car. There is no car at all. It was an empty shell. As light as possible. No seats. Nothing. Full of gas tanks. With a maximum of 2 secs of thrust usage. In other words, it was a drone. A drone with a shell that looked like a car. Imagine if it had been a square piece of metal instead. You would have said “nice”. The truth is, it is nothing more than that. It was not the car that you will see in the street. It was just a piece of light metal, that had the same body as the one you wil buy. The technology exists since a long time. If nobody did it, it’s not that they didn’t think about it’s it’s because it is not sustainable. It is not achievable. So why were we fooled ? Because most people can’t imagine the biggest entrepreneur and genius of our century would have put millions into a show and be ruthless enough to put a fake car in a demonstration with the goal of selling something that will have nothing to do with what he is showing. It was a show. A spectacle. Pure manipulation. Ruthless, immoral marketing. The whole “ socialism vs capitalism” or “Europe vs America” we are seeing is the result of a fabulously done propaganda. The car doesn’t fly. It never will. Most importantly, there wasn’t any car on that show. But the brainwashed idiots that we are will rush to buy it, waiting for another two years ( 9 have passed already since the preorders), only to receive something that has nothing to do with what we have seen. Expect the shell. But in 2026, it seems it is what we are. Empty shells for which entertainment and lies are enough to make us dance like apes. Porsche maybe didn’t do a flying demonstration. But at least they will deliver exactly what they have shown. And it will drive better than any Tesla ever will ( especially if it weights two fugging tons).

Was about to respond to that viral Tragically Hip tweet, but then looked at the username and realized it was THE SAME GUY who started the distance-based TTC / the boroughs are bad arguments last week Opting for the mute button instead of quoting ragebait for rev-share this time.

Hannah Einbinder and Susan Sarandon were among those detained at a pro-Palestinian protest in New York City ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the U.N. General Assembly: • Both actors have been outspoken critics of the Israeli government and supporters of Palestinian rights • It’s not immediately clear whether Einbinder and Sarandon were arrested or simply detained variety.com/2026/film/news/h…

Theo Von: “Macklemore lost his job because he spoke up. It feels like this is probably the biggest atrocity we’ve witnessed in our lifetime on our phones. Seeing the killings, people getting murdered, children getting killed. The Israeli government has turned Gaza into a video game basically for killing people, more specifically the killing of children. Every time they’re like Hamas is hiding, that’s Hamas. It’s like that’s a 4-month-old”

I love that even Obama does the ‘imagine if Obama did it’ analogy.
Former President Barack Obama on President Trump's White House press ban: "I’m trying to think what would have happened if I had said, you know what, Fox News, you’re out of here! It’s unimaginable!"

WATCH: MARC MARON on the new "ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD" video on Joe Rogan & Peter Thiel Maron: "One thing I happily watched fail was this idea that Republicans are the new punk rock." It shows how Joe Rogan became what he claimed to oppose and helped "facilitate the end of democracy" by helping Trump get elected - exposing Joe's pal Peter Thiel's deep Epstein ties and the tech oligarch push to "dismantle democracy".
