A great narrative built on shaky ground.

It’s also a testament to Altman’s dealmaking prowess: a progressive San Francisco tech leader walked into an administration that opposed everything he publicly stood for, and within days, he secured a crown.

Bullshit. Absolute steaming mountains of bullshit.

These techbros don't stand for anything. They're a bunch of objectivist libertarian assholes who enjoy the aesthetics of being perceived as progressive because it's trendy in the kind of social spaces they want to inhabit.

This isn't about "dealmaking skills", it's about Trump being a giant baby who will do anything for anyone who kisses his ass, and Altman not giving a flying fuck about Trump being a fascist because sucking up to him makes him money.
"Stargate" is already taken for another science fiction. You'll have to pick another name.
- The project should be called Wormhole Xtreme
  
  "It's... What I do!"
- On the other hand, he's being consistent with stealing things and claiming they're his.
The good news is that if SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son backs it, it’ll fail in a matter of months.
- ...but also make altman rich and ready for the next scam.
These greedy muthas can't even name stuff without robbing someone else's names.
And not the good kind, where we kill fake gods
- Indeed.

50 States, 50 Protests, 1day

Feb 5 @ your downtown.
- Why would anything socially progressive organize on Facebook? Most normal people I know have abandoned that platform, let alone anyone privacy-minded or anti-oligarch.
  
  Cuz you need the retards who are still there.
  
  Despite what you observed in your circle of friends, Facebook still have millions of users in the US and billions world-wide.
- If it's allowed on facebook it means they want you todo it. A lot of people are going to become "rioters, looters, and terrorists" We're going to see a lot of Kyle Rittenhouses
  
  I hope not. But they need to see who they are pissing off.
  
  The government is supposed to be for the people, by the people and of the people... Not to the people by some assholes who own the people.
Saw headline and spent next couple seconds replaying SG-1 in my head.
no, it is not science fiction, is just realism capitalist, an empire in decay struggling to keep its hegemony
No, see, it will be very real. Nothing like the show. We launch this ring thing into orbit, then we attach really long rubber bands between it and the passenger capsule. Then we simply released the capsule from the big ass tripod holding the rubber bands in tension. Theoretically that capsule would definitely get to the Moon that much quicker.
