On Oct. 5, he appeared with Mr. Trump at a rally for the first time, bouncing up and down around the candidate. That evening, Mr.Musk shared his excitement with a person close to him. “I’m feeling more optimistic tonight,” he wrote in a text message. “Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.” “This is not something on the chessboard, so they will be quite surprised,” Mr. Musk added about an hour later. “‘Lasers’ from space.”
AI Overview: The saying "Never spread your wolverine on Sunday" is a playful phrase, particularly within the community of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' fans. It's a clever wordplay referencing the band's song "Under the Bridge" and the character Wolverine from Marvel comics. The phrase doesn't have a literal meaning; it's a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that you shouldn't be doing certain things on Sunday, potentially because it's a day of rest or a day to avoid certain activities.
Protester holds a hand-drawn sign of Elon as Marie Antoinette, roses in his hair and blushes on his cheeks, as he lofts a slice of cake
Protester in Bernalillo holds a vibrant poster in the style of a King of Hearts playing card. The poster is the color of a coral snake: scarlet, black, and yellow. Musk and Trump are the kings. Musk is the top. Trump is the bottom. The Musk king has a pallid face and yellow eyes, a Hitler mustache, and a swastika. He seems to be cutting his own head with his own sword. The Trump king’s face is deeply flushed and saturated, like a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto. He has tiny, fragile hands. He wears the hammer and sickle on his scarlet robe.
The figure visualizes voting data in Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas). Precincts in the county are organized on the horizontal axis from strongly Democratic precincts on the left to strongly Republican precincts on the right. Voter turnout is measured on the vertical axis, with percentage by party in each precinct measured with a blue (D) and a red (R) dot. The red line of Republican votes would normally slope upward from left to right, illustrating the increasing strength of the Republican Party on the right side of the figure and its relative weakness in Democratic precincts on the left side. The line of Democratic votes would normally slope upward from right to left, reflecting the rising strength of the Democratic Party in strong D precincts on the left. These two slopes should form a X. But they don’t. Instead there is a dramatic flattening of D votes on the left side of the figure, in the area of greatest Democratic strength. In these heavily Democratic precincts, the blue D votes cluster under the 45 per cent point. The appearance of an artificial cap on D votes in strong D precincts is so striking that Lutz calls it “chilling.” Meanwhile this effect is not seen in majority Republican districts on the right, where R votes gradually rise and D votes fall as expected.
Mar 1st, 2025, 6:49 AM: Today of all days, I would like to reflect on what Sugarbush means to me. This mountain has brought me endless days of joy, adventure, challenges, new experiences, beauty, community, and peace. I’ve found that nothing cures a racing mind quite like skiing through the trees and stopping to take a deep breath of that fresh forest air. The world around us might be a scary place, but these little moments of tranquility . . . give me, and I’d guess you, too, a sense of strength and stability. This fresh forest air, is, more specifically fresh National Forest air. Sugarbush operates on 1745 acres of the Green Mountain National Forest. Right now, National Forest lands and National Parks are under direct attack by the current Administration, who is swiftly terminating the positions of dedicated employees who devote their lives to protecting the land we love, and to protecting us while we are enjoying that land. This Administration also neglects to address the danger, or even the existence of, climate change, the biggest threat to the future of our industry, and the skiing we all so much enjoy here. . . . Vermont is the 9th fastest-warming state. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), a resource I use every day for snow reporting, is crucial in monitoring extreme weather events and informing public safety measures, and is also experiencing widespread layoffs and defunding at the hands of the Administration. Sugarbush would not be Sugarbush without our wonderful community. Employees and patrons alike, we are made up of some of the most kind hearted, hardworking people I have ever met. Our community is rich with folks of all different orientations, ethnicities, and walks of life, who all contribute to make this place what it is. They all love Sugarbush because it is a place where they can come to move their bodies, to connect with the land, to challenge themselves, to build character, to nourish their souls with the gift of skiing.
From the Keith Self Wikipedia entry: On May 6, 2023, a gunman used an AR-15 style rifle in an outlet mall shooting that killed eight and wounded seven in Allen, Texas, within Self's district.[33][34] In the aftermath of the attack, Self was criticized for characterizing people who say that prayer alone will not to stop mass shootings as "people that don't believe in an almighty God, who is absolutely in control of our lives".[5][33] He followed up by saying that he did not want to discuss politics so soon after a mass shooting; that Allen remains a "very safe area"; and that calls for additional regulation of AR-15 style rifles, including raising the allowable purchasing age, are “a knee-jerk reaction that does not stop criminals.”[33] Self advocated for arming school staff members with guns and having an armed presence in the public, stating that prayer and full funding of mental health programs are a better remedy for mass shootings than gun control.[5][33] Shannon Watts, the founder of the advocacy group Moms Demand Action, responded: "Faith without works is dead. Prayers without action are empty."[5]
Screenshot of a conversation on the subreddit community r/RealTesla. DiarrheaCreamPi comments: “Word is his dick is all mutilated.” TooLittleSunToo explains that “Someone said he had a botched penile implant.” Retrosheeple adds an unfortunate detail, but wins many upvotes: “Yes, it’s quite a scandal. They are calling it elongate.” Ok-Philosophy lols heartily.
The figure visualizes voting data in Clark County, Nevada. Precincts in the county are organized on the horizontal axis from strongly Democratic precincts on the left to strongly Republican precincts on the right. Voter turnout is measured on the vertical axis, with percentage by party in each precinct measured with a blue (D) and a red (R) dot. The red line of Republican votes would normally slope upward from left to right, illustrating the increasing strength of the Republican Party on the right side of the figure and its relative weakness in Democratic precincts on the left side. The line of Democratic votes would normally slope upward from right to left, reflecting the rising strength of the Democratic Party in strong D precincts on the left. These two slopes should form a X. But they don’t. Instead there is a dramatic flattening of D votes on the left side of the figure, in the area of greatest Democratic strength. In these heavily Democratic precincts, the blue D votes cluster under the 45 per cent point. The appearance of an artificial cap on D votes in strong D precincts is so striking that Lutz calls it “chilling.” Meanwhile this effect is not seen in majority Republican districts on the right, where R votes gradually rise and D votes fall as expected.

Text from the Substack post: “Take a look at this device, which was recently advertised on Linkedin. This device looks just like a conventional thumb drive. But please notice the additional port on the side, and color screen. But also, it provides a slot for a micro SD flash memory device, which slides into a secret slot in the USB connector itself. I’ve seen these devices for years, but this ad is truly blatant that they have designed this to take over the ‘victim’s machine’. The testimonial says: ‘Your device is evil. You are doing evil.’”
The figure visualizes voting data in Clark County, Nevada. Precincts in the county are organized on the X axis from strongly Democratic precincts on the left to strongly Republican precincts on the right. Voter turnout is measured on the vertical axis, with percentage by party in each precinct measured with a blue (D) and a red (R) dot. The red dots form a rough line of Republican votes that slopes upward from left to right, illustrating the increasing strength of the Republican Party on the right side of the figure, in strong R precincts. The line of Democratic votes would normally slope upward from right to left, reflecting the increasing strength of the Democratic Party on the left side and its relative weakness on the right. These two slopes should form a X. But they don’t. On the left side of the figure, in heavily Democratic precincts, the blue D votes cluster under the 45 per cent point, as though capped. The effect is so dramatic that Lutz calls it “chilling.” Meanwhile, in majority Republican districts on the right, the distribution of votes follows the partisanship of these precincts, with R votes gradually rising and D votes falling as expected.

The figure visualizes voting data in Clark County, Nevada. Clark County includes Las Vegas. Democratic presidential candidates have won Nevada since 2008 due to the strongly Democratic Clark County vote, even though rural counties in NV remain Republican. In this figure, the Clark County precincts are organized on the horizontal axis, running from strong Democratic precincts on the left to strong Republican precincts on the right. Voter turnout is charted on the vertical axis, with percentage by party in each precinct indicated with a blue (D) and a red (R) dot, two dots assigned to each precinct. The dots roughly form a red line composed of Republican votes and a blue line of Democratic votes. The red line of Republican votes would typically slope upward from left to right, illustrating the increasing strength of the Republican Party on the right side of the figure and its relative weakness in Democratic precincts on the left side. The line of Democratic votes would typically slope gradually upward from right to left, reflecting the increasing strength of the Democratic Party on the left side and its relative weakness on the right. These two lines of red and blue votes should form an X as they rise according to the partisanship of precincts. But they don’t. Something strange happens to the blue votes on the left half of the figure, in the area of greatest Democratic strength. In the heavily Democratic precincts on the left, the blue D votes don’t rise, but cluster under the 45 per cent point. They look artificially capped. In fact, the effect is so dramatic that Lutz calls it “chilling.” Meanwhile the artificial cap is not seen in majority Republican districts on the right, where R votes gradually rise and D votes gradually fall as expected, forming half of the X.

The figure shows precincts in Clark County Nevada, organized from strongly Democratic precincts to strongly Republican precincts along the horizontal axis, left to right. Voter turnout is measured on the vertical axis, with percentage in each precinct measured with a blue and a red dot. In heavily Democratic precincts, vote is capped at under 45 per cent. This can be seen dramatically in Democratic majority precincts on the left. The pattern is not seen in majority Republican districts.
