Please- any of you still on FB or X really need to kick them to the

I never gave either of them a dime (but I expect they've profiled me
nonetheless).

Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a
future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered
virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.

I admit that I have never really appreciated Tik Tok, but fully
understand its appeal. Nevertheless, it is owned by ByteDance, and I
ain't gonna fund 'em.

Elon and Zuckie ain't gonna get my screen time, either. I wonder how
bad Reddit is in the undergrowth....

I've seen articles suggesting that many Silicon Valley heads have
swiveled to the right, but I haven't tracked down who is or isn't. I
was surprised to see Amazon on the list of big gifters to the Donald'c
coronation plans, because Bezos seemed very critical of Trump the
previous time around, and bought the Washington Post to help with that.

Killing a mouse was hardly a Nobel Prize-worthy exercise, and Lawrence
went apopleptic when he learned a lousy rodent had peed away all his
precious heavy water.

There was some '30s book critical of the rise of middle management
which has apparently become something that influenced Musk. A British
author, IIRC, who saw the Nazi system as the way to avoid that. A lot
of bad predictions and analysis modern economists disagree with, but it
rang a bell with Elon. I need to re-find the article about that.
