Wait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre

I suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)

But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.

That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.

so they’re officially “Texas-based” now eh? Heh. Sure, why not.

Right? I mean, i’ll take the win, absolutely, but c’mon. Anybody still on Xitter - stop. Just stop.

International editor doesn’t understand how media works.

I’ll agree.

Koss porta-pro headphones. And some vanity color ear foams just for fun. EDC.

Of course!

Am agreeing with cowboy. Great state of Texas is independent and strong thinker, like Putin. Must show US their secession in order to live among the free peoples. Certainly they will become very wealthy. I am woman of color who works in factory and is liberal.

I love open source too, but this:

i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never do anything bad to you.

Is just super problematic. I appreciate the enthusiasm for open source, but google is a monopoly actively involved in making the internet worse in order to profit from it. They do this by leveraging your personal information, and that’s bad.

git out

Boring conversation anyway. Luke! We’re gonna have company!

“Narcissistic personality disorder”

Billionaire dipshit doesn’t understand why he can’t order everyone to do what he wants. People die.

1. Nationalize SpaceX now
2. Tax Billionaires at 90% now
3. Begin the investigation of Musk’s inevitable and obvious tax fraud

This “I just wanted peace (for Putin)” shit is another item too far. Way too far.

Elon Musk secretly ordered SpaceX engineers to switch off the Starlink satellite communications network near the coast of occupied Crimea in order to thwart a Ukrainian surprise attack on Russia’s naval fleet, according to a report. The incident last year is reported in Walter Isaacson’s upcoming biography of the billionaire titled Elon Musk. With the comms down, the Ukrainian submarine drones packed with explosives “lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly,” Isaacson writes, according to CNN. Musk was reportedly motivated to foil the attack out of concern that a strike on Crimea would constitute a “mini-Pearl Harbor” and lead to Russia retaliating with nuclear weapons. The SpaceX boss apparently began to question his decision to support Starlink being used for Kyiv’s military communications when Ukraine started to use the tech in offensive operations against Russia. “How am I in this war?” Musk asked Isaacson. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

arguable.

Note that this does not apply to Microsoft. Like, at all. :)

Are you suggesting a Murdoch-owned press might have printed something misleading?!?!

Not least of all because armed conflict isn’t supposed to intentionally and almost exclusively target civilians. That’s why it’s a long series of war crimes.
