why not

xp we broke up a while ago, I didn’t want to get into details on here

Between this and 0pn’s CCRU name checking, I’m thinking 2018 is a good year to extirpate crypto acceleratoratinism from the art world

fire nick land out of a cannon though

i like Musk more than Thiel or Bezos, less than Zuck

who else is in your myspace top six

my sincere apologies mh, I didn't wish to intrude

lol

lmao

fuck I am an idiot

you got the point though

well actually my point was that it was pretty shit to post speculation about who she was dating, for that reason

Joan Crawford forced to compose the in-flight music for space travel

lol Joan left that house 10 years ago

Tesla, worth about $50 billion, employs more than 10,000 workers at its Fremont factory. Alongside the company’s remarkable rise, workers have been sliced by machinery, crushed by forklifts, burned in electrical explosions and sprayed with molten metal. Tesla recorded 722 injuries last year, about two a day. The rate of serious injuries, requiring time off or a work restriction, was 30 percent worse than the previous year’s industry average.

Frantic growth, constant changes and lax rules, combined with a CEO whom senior managers were afraid to cross, created an atmosphere in which few dared to stand up for worker safety, the former environment, health and safety team members told Reveal.

And in addition to yellow, Musk was said to dislike too many signs in the factory and the warning beeps forklifts make when backing up, former team members said. His preferences, they said, were well known and led to cutting back on those standard safety signals.

“If someone said, ‘Elon doesn’t like something,’ you were concerned because you could lose your job,” said Susan Rigmaiden, former environmental compliance manager.

That's pretty good supervillain material. "I will not have my magnificent factory defiled with tacky human safety precautions!"

Justine Musk's on their marriage.

Still, there were warning signs. As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, "I am the alpha in this relationship." I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement, but as time went on, I learned that he was serious. He had grown up in the male-dominated culture of South Africa, and the will to compete and dominate that made him so successful in business did not magically shut off when he came home. This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. "I am your wife," I told him repeatedly, "not your employee."

"If you were my employee," he said just as often, "I would fire you."

I don't know how is that going to fit with Boucher's brand of feminism.

This is wild

isn’t this a huge social event like an awards show and people feel obligated to have a date, with a high profile date being social currency?

that choker is pretty bad, though

like if ned raggett took grimes to the bjork poll?

wow this is depressing

Yeah

idk seems like it could be fun to date a billionaire for a little bit

But he's bad

are grimes fans referring to this as elongate yet y/n?

omg

lolled at tesla choker

I don't know enough about Elon Musk to hate him. I don't really follow the silicon valley bro thread or whatever. If this is true, I'm possibly heartbroken for her partner, but we haven't heard his side of the story yet so...

Weird little irrelevant sidenote for me is that I decided to order Art Angels on vinyl last week after listening to it on mp3 all this time. I brought it in off the porch when I got home from work and then right after, this news broke.

Oh wait, James did retweet this, which is pretty hilarious

Well I huh?

taking the Ramona Flowers/Gideon cosplay a lil too far tbh

on the positive side she mentioned on twitter she's been working on David again

honestly idg what is so bad about him. mostly seems like a clueless millionaire who wastes his money on futuristic vanity projects like electric cars and stuff. it's not like he fabricated lies to get us into the Iraq war or personally had a hand in the surveillance state or legalized torture or something. ppl that actually did those things are celebrated as heroes.

just a clueless union busting, de-regulating, risking-his-employees'-lives millionaire

*billionaire

indeed, was quoting Adam

by the sound of things he's quite possibly not a billionaire at this point

Google has him at 19.4bn but who fucking knows what that really means (beyond that he deserves the 'tine)

I did find it a bit hypocritical that this thread was celebrating so hard when grimes started dating George W Bush

I love that boat story upthread, it’s more PB Shelley than Twain tho
