Ah phew, was wondering why I hadn’t even had the notification.
6·9 days agoYeah exactly. CNBC aren’t really twisting anything here, and they even mention the WaPo article in the 2nd bullet point at the top.
If there’s anyone worth looking at over the release of this story it’s WaPo. One could reasonably assume that Bezos wanted this story published, as Musk is a big rival. However at the same time they’ve just announced that they won’t endorse anyone for this election for the first time in decades, which at best could be seen as hedging their bets in case of a Trump presidency but at worst be seen as pandering to Trump.
Pretty sure this podcast stays on topic throughout. There’s a chunk of background, of course, because it basically has to explain the joke every time so the discussion can happen.
I feel kinda sad that all this love goes to Moo Deng but Copenhagen zoo has baby hippos, baby capybara and a baby tiger, yet no one knows about it.

No, she didn’t. However she did end up in aerospace anyway.
There was a 16th Minute of Fame podcast episode about it, including a recent interview:

Homer didn’t deny anything, he wasn’t even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn’t help.
NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.

Apparently “free speech” means Elon is free to ban journalists who publish things he doesn’t like.
Nah I’ve seen him interviewed on news channels a couple times since then. Not a full on sit down face to face long format interview, but still a solo on-air appearance.
The main one I’m thinking of was when Taylor Swift said something nice about him, the reporter told him first in the middle of the interview.
Even better was the r/photoshopbattles version of them dancing:
Man I’m starting to fall behind on Manley’s videos! Going to fix that now, thanks for the prompt.
the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s first solo on-air conversation since becoming Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Pretty sure he’s had plenty of solo conversations before this.
Honestly, if they can’t even get the basics right in the first paragraph I’m not going to continue reading.

In fairness, when I saw Rochester I immediately assumed the non-city in the UK.
Edit: Wait what, it talks about Bristol, also in the UK, but apparently Ontario is also a county in the state of NY (which is again named after a UK city). So you were right, this is 'merica.
On Halloween, remove the mannequin, replace it with a person in costume.
Except that the UK taxed all its locally produced coal so much that it was cheaper to import more dirty coal from China than use fresh, relatively clean coal excavated from Wales. If a power station wanted to use Chinese coal, they only had to pay import duty. But if they wanted to use cleaner Welsh coal they had to pay taxes on the extraction, refinement and then the same export tax they levied everywhere else. Welsh coal was some of the highest quality in the world, but it was exported and more toxic stuff burned locally because that was more profitable.
