Added 2025-01-24 15:04:09 +0000 UTC
Molly White joins Hussein, Riley, and November to talk about the role of Cryptocurrency in the incoming administration, specifically synergising their desire to "trigger the libs" with their desperate need to grift the morlocks who worship them. Also, Cooler Screens' war with Walgreens heats up, a stand up comedy scene develops on the moon, and yes - any hand gesture Elon makes is by definition a Nazi one.

I haven't been to a Walgreens in awhile, but I took some archival footage of the fridge door TVs when they were functioning:

Dumb question and I'm sure someone has thought of it. But is all the billions of AI training hardware gonna be shifted to crypto once everyone admits AI use cases are limited?

I was in a movie theater watching “Uncut Gems” in January 2020, and one of the big beeps went off on every phone in the place due a nearby Amber Alert (US version of Child Rescue Alert) and I think half the people shat, half had a panic attack. I did both.

But yes you're correct there was path for Musk to be the "good" billionaire if he had wanted to. By actually making the 25k electric car for normal people and inserting himself into various renewable energy projects and adding some razzle dazzle and otherwise keeping his mouth shut he could have probably attained single digit billionaire status. There would still have been the union busting and the mars con and I don't think electrifying everything is going to work out per say and cars are still bad 'cause they're cars, but it does feel like there was definitely a space ready made for him the neo-liberal elite. That space now appears to be in the sights of Mark Cuban? of all people. And of course there's nothing to be learned about any larger social structure here /s.

As someone who works at a Walgreens competitor, I do want to say that, from my OWN experience with the near-DOD levels of subcontractization and proprietary technicification of our photo development and Self-Checkout stations, this is ENTIRELY believable to me that Walgreens would allow a third party capability to perform a massive DOS where the service being denied is "being able to see through the refrigerator door."

The crypto thing is particularly surreal for me because I was a massive drug addict that got into it in 2015 for the sake of buying shit on the darkweb.. at the time in genuinely had a real use in my life and became a full-on crypto fan boy. Now that I'm clean it has become apparent to me that that is literally the only legitimate use is buying drugs and all this "legitimization" is pure fraud

Listen, I'm sure building 500B worth of energy-devouring data centers in a state that has a completely disconnected grid and was at the brink of collapse 4 years ago after a climate anomaly is a totally future-proof and sound decision.

Ok so I thought I had seen cooler screens in Las Vegas because once I went to a chevron with horrible flashing screens and slot machines in lone mountain. As it turns out no, even this gas station that I remembered as being horrible and overstimulating and basically emblematic of how garbage Vegas is (such as signs flashing to say fruit but fruit that was like gross or rotting and like ass quality) - they were not dumb enough to put the flashing stupid signs ON THE DOORS OF THE COOLERS!!!

Cooler Screens is not a good product, but it has a soft spot in my heart because I ended up in a Chicago Walgreens on my first date with my now wife and the terrible idea just kind of glided over my mind because I was otherwise besotted.

Elon makes me so furious though even compared to the other oligarchs, especially when I see someone like Starmer offering up mild criticism of him, because I'm like - this was YOUR guy, centrists! He was the example, in your insane child-like soup-brain ideology, of the Übermensch who had created his own purpose in society, 'innovated' his way to the top of your precious 'knowledge economy', using his techno-wizard skills to supposedly make the world a better place with his shitty cars and fabricated schemes to build physically impossible transport infrastructure! He and Gates were the Good Billionaires set against Bad Billionaires like (thunder crackling sounds) Zuckerberg or Murdoch or the Kochs, because these people can only ever see the world in terms of individual acts, and now that Musk has revealed himself as a completely mental Nazi they have the fucking GALL to airbrush all that out of history and add him to the pantheon of Bad Guys who are all collaborating with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping and Donald Trump to do Brexit again every day and violate the precious norms. Because of course there never has been any kind of 'power structure' at work anywhere ever, what are you, some kind of woke Maoist Corbynista Lexiteer SWP trans lobby tankie shill who wants to instantly send anyone who's ever interacted with money to a gulag?

On Elon's future at DOGE: in amongst all the nightmarish nonsense of his first 48 hours of rapid fire EOs was the one that establishes DOGE...
As the US DOGE Service.
