All in all, it was not a very good week. Here's hoping we can all recover from your lunacy. That's about it. Thank you for listening. /4

β€’ I watched you acting like a complete toddler on a stage with his toy chainsaw, stoned out of his mind β€’ I determined that I want to drive my Tesla off a cliff and burn it, because of what it now represents. /3

β€’ I observed you wreaking havoc through the Federal government, upending countless lives without the slightest bit of human empathy, and likely causing the death of many poor people around the world due to your callousness in shutting down USAID /2

So few who endure what you do would have such a heart for others. You truly are one of the sweetest souls on Bluesky πŸ₯° Thank you, Cooper, for always restoring my faith in people πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ’‹β€πŸ‘©

Releases book as-is with all such placeholders still there, puts on air of sophisticated writing guru, and announces, "I'm just letting the reader imagine!" (Still better than AI, tho....)

Fyi, the person who followed you this evening "ErinCharlie" is the one I was going to recommend to you. She just got onto Blueskey and I pointed her to you :) She is an astrophysicist, was tenured faculty and now works at Gemini in Hilo, HI. Good person to have on your team :)

We need our Vaclav Havel. We need our Lech Walesa. We need our Nelson Madela. We need our Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We need leaders with backbone willing to risk everything to fight against tyranny. The moment is here. Let’s not let the light die with us. /10
comment in response to post
What to do is certainly not clear. But what *is* clear is that if we keep playing by the old rules, we will lose (by β€˜we’ I mean the American people, of all stripes, not just progressives). We all need to organize, to fight, yes. But we also need brave leaders to rally behind. /9

Throughout history, in times of conflict, the winners often are not just those with a better army or better weapons. They are the ones thinking outside the box, changing the rules of the game that the others continue to adhere to. We are in that moment now. /8
comment in response to post
Without visibility into what he is doing, and only seeing the effects of it later after selective monies never show up where they should, he can burn things down rapidly before he can be stopped, and likely at a level that is unrepairable whilst waiting for the slow legal gears to turn. /7
comment in response to post
Who are the lawyers going to sue? Bennet? He gave the authority to Musk to β€˜review things for efficiency.’ Does anyone see this Supreme Court finding that outside his power to do? Sue Musk? On what standing? He hasn’t β€˜done’ anything yet except review. /6
comment in response to post
The phalanx of political/legal people ready to challenge Trump with lawsuits are like that audit manager. They are prepared to fight fair using the legal tools they know how to use. But Musk has simply gone right to the spigot and taken control of it and can impound anything he doesn’t like. /5
comment in response to post
Instead of this being a major red flag about an out of control operation, risking corporate assets, the finance audit manager simply said, β€œWell, we can’t audit them, there are no books and financial records to review.” And he walked away. /4
comment in response to post
When we arrived, the finance audit manager asked to see the books. But there were none – the unit manager maintained all the expenses in her personal day planner. There were no plans, no records. It was β€œfly fast, stay ahead of questions, hope lightning strikes and things work.” /3
comment in response to post
So in order to save his personal bonus, the CEO created a rogue unit inside the company, reporting directly to him. It was a risky line of business, historically prone to failure, with which our company had zero experience. It was our job to audit it, same as any other business unit. /2

Calls you just to ask, "You didn't really mean *all* calls, did you?"

Waves hand πŸ‘‹ Feel free to DM if you have questions. Most of all, though, just believe in what you are doing and stick with it. It does take time to craft a good tome.

How do you know we're not already there? Maybe RL is someone else's SL and we are just avatars πŸ˜† I liked Upload, I could really relate to that show. If we do end up in SL... I better end up looking like my avatar! I am so done with this RL look πŸ€ͺ
