Altman's line is what you write when you have nothing novel to say about physics but really, really want to say disparaging things about gay people.

Y'all care about Trump vs Harris. I care about SOL at $500, TBC smashing $100k, APE at $50 and ETH and $7500-$10k. We not the same. HIGHER you insufferable twats. So much Higher.

Consider also Sam Altman, who once argued that “we have to allow people to say disparaging things about gay people if we want them to be able to say novel things about physics”

Good grief, I had forgotten about that.

As a queer physicist, what can I say but "suck a bag of dicks, dipshit"?

Pretty good sneer there:

BREAKING: Tim Pool announces he will be stepping back from full time content production to look after his family. He states he's tired of being made fun of for not having a wife and kids so he will also be using the extra time to pursue acquiring that family

Step 1: Buy new computers for the office.

Step 2: Futz around and transcribe a few audio files.

Step 3: Oops, we have used up the allocated budget but the deliverables remain just over the horizon.

I think it was SpaceX, not Tesla, but yeah... boring AF warehouse.

I wish I could remember who it was who said that out of all those inane cameos, Iron Man 2 is the only one that makes sense, because Tony Stark at his most boozy, self-indulgent and self-destructive would invite Musk to a party.
