Oh the fresh hell of emoji reactions to messages posted on the listserv. I really don't need to get a heart from dozens of others for the minutes of the last meeting... Even if I had written and posted them.

Some car-brained weirdo posted this on Nextdoor today.
About 70 answers were just numbers while mine was an insight into car-brained thinking.
Anyone care to provide an answer?

SpaceX reported Q2 2026 results with revenue of $7.8 billion versus $6.81 billion expected,
but the stock fell after the report.
It also posted adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
of $3.5 billion,

I've posted something similar in the past, but this quote seems evergreen:
“The industry learned how to secure the enactment of seemingly innocuous and sensible regulations that nonetheless spelled doom for any rival” –Tim Wu, The Master Switch

There's occasionally something interesting posted under the #history hashtag, but so much of what comes across my feed this way is AI slop.

Donald Trump announced Wednesday night that he wanted to make acting Atty. Gen. Todd Blanche’s leadership of the Department of Justice permanent.
The president said he thought the confirmation of his onetime personal defense attorney would go “very quickly,” according to a video posted from the dinner.
But early indications suggest that the process could be anything but.
Blanche, who assumed his current role after Trump fired former Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi in April, has been the …

Amazon Workers @ DCH1 U...
@Dch1United
Not-so-fun fact of the day:
Amazon has A/C at facilities
that have robots
because the robots overheat in this
temperature.
We don't have robots at DCH1,
so we don't have A/C.
Amazon cares more about
their robots overheating than their

Donald Trump frequently demonstrates a level of malignancy that still manages to shock.
He doesn’t try to hide it,
but unfortunately, the mainstream media covers his disordered thinking as a colorful “quirk”

This past weekend, Trump’s social media feed was a wellspring of lunacy.
He posted more than 50 times on Saturday alone, hurling personal attacks at Barack Obama, Joe Bide…
