Elon Musk

Austin Butler might work if he gets his face smooshed up a bit.

Reuters documented at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket company: crushed limbs, amputations, electrocutions, head and eye wounds and one death. SpaceX employees say they’re paying the price for the billionaire’s push to colonize space at breakneck speed.

what did they think "breakneck" meant

It’s right on the tin

you guys didn't click through huh :(

yikes, no I didn't, but immediately regret making that statement now that I just did! :(

in all seriousness, this is the part of Elon's "piece-of-shittery" that I wish got talked about more. not that it's not important to call him out for his anti-Semitism, racism, transphobia, and the other things he does, but word about him as a neglectful employer has been pretty loud for years, and so many assholes chalked it up to "geniuses can be hard to work for sometimes, idk what to tell you".

yeah absolutely, especially since one of the previous major stories about his terrible management was about how rampantly racist the Tesla Fremont plant was, which was well before he took over twitter. His "rightward turn" was pretty easy to predict

Immediate Bluesky riff on it:

hello yes one CIDERFRUKK please

wait is CIDERTRUKK not a Tesla? It's like it's own thing?

nobody in FL gonna drive that, you can't put a Salt Life sticker on it

god, it's so ugly. It's not even "child draws their dream car" ugly, it's "tell an AI chatbot to design a car in Mindcraft" ugly.

if Homer Simpson had trotted this car out instead, his brother would have shot him on sight

Looks like it was designed by Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic

the tires don't look very standard... I'll be you only buy them at CYDRTRUXX retailers

Bruce Levenstein did that one better -- he shared this image with the line "My Uber is here."

How do u cyber with this truck, asking for a horny friend

This guy sucks but he’s not wrong about polytopia (iOS). I’m playing it again. Such a great game. Easily better than chess.

spoken like someone who hasnt spent the last half hour learning life lessons from solving pin pattern puzzles

ok I spent half the day playing Polytopia and I’m going to rate it “kind of ok”

everything is too small and fiddly

i remember it being more legible on old iphones. i wonder if it needs some kind of update for higher res screens?

can i say something about games here so many games are just complicated, getting good at them is learning the rules, game as a tutorial

shouldve put a "these days" in there no old games are like that

you can teach a kindergartener the rules to chess

i have some longtime friends who became deep, deep boardgame people and i swear the appeal for them is mostly just new toys, new tokens and figures and little cards to read with each and every game

yeah they buy these games and play them once, whats that

that game wingspan is absolute dogshit but it is a nice object tbf. i got it as a gift and played it once.

Contemporary board games peaked with Settlers of Catan.

No they didn’t

settlers is good but *turning to the fellas* its not a good as poker

Okay, Steve Albini

not gonna sit here and argue with success know what im sayin fellas

its the lag∞n martingale fellas

Musk named one of his children after a Warhammer 40,000 army.

Pandemic rules but woo boy not wanted to play it for a while. Ticket to Ride is ace, tho we don't own it and only play it with friends. Galaxy Trucker is better than Chess.

I’ve made the mistake of getting into Star Wars: Legion.

It’s fun to have little Hoth dudes to paint

I bought this to play with my daughter when it came out because she's a nature kid, and it looked cool as hell. We made it about halfway through the instructions. We were going through her old toys this weekend and that one was straight into the giveaway pile.

I like wingspan

I have it too! Played it once! It was good but it has a half-hour setup!

Then I bought Birdwatcher, which

lol I just saw that on Bluesky and thought "lagoon is going to love this"

haaa

btw just noticing how tiny that rear window is, guess there must be sacrifices to look very cool

also wasnt this thing supposed to be huge why is the bed so small, a tacoma (mid size pickup) could easily fit that bike in its bed

ok i have done my research and the "production" model is smaller than the prototype, its kind of in between full size and mid size but has a larger than other pickups passenger area, think of it as a big subaru baja except uglier
