$TSLA - MUSK: TESLA TO BUILD 5,000 OPTIMUS ROBOTS IN 2025, TELLS STAFF NOT TO SELL SHARES Tesla plans to build 5,000 Optimus humanoid robots in 2025, using its self-driving tech for tasks like walking and catching objects, Elon Musk told employees. Production could reach 50,000

EDIT: Nobody who has ever seen the movie Runaway will buy a domestic robot from a neo-fascist

And yet again, Musky Baby ramps Tesla share prices with announcements that probably will not happen any time soon.

In related news, another insurance company has declined to insure Cybertrucks, so it looks like Trusk will launch a Tesla specific insurance company

In related news, the valuation of Twitter has rebounded:

I would note that isn't a price based on publicly traded shares: that's what one investor thinks it's worth and has marked it to that on its books.

Apologies for absurd typos in recent comments. Think my phone has gone mad from the heat and the steaks

Anyway about those steaks. Last night I had a bad done. A bad, dry, overcooked, under seasoned steak

AND STEAK IS ALL THEY DO

It’s their one dish. They have 3m people and 10m cows. They go on and on about their fucking beef, especially the steaks. Yes ok everything else is hideous - the food is even worse than Brazil or Argentina or Peru - but surely the steaks will be ace, given it’s their solitary gastro product of note and they eat it every fucking day.

NO. THEY CAN’T EVEN DO THEM

Makes sense to me. If its all they eat why would they produce top quality?

Bread is a staple but the average loaf wont blow your socks off as the best thing since, well, sliced bread.

I remember when Britain was at its culinary nadir - mid 70s? - and we started to fuck up…. Fish and chips. Frozen fish, frozen chips

That’s where Uruguay is now

Do they have Berni Inns though? There was something truly special about dining in a 1970s Berni Inn, an experience was both sophisticated and comforting. The plush red carpets. The dark wood panelling. The charm of upscale old-school gentlemen’s club.

A prawn cocktail starter. A juicy sirloin steak. Most importantly, a show-stopping Black Forest gateaux. The crowning glory of Britain. Rich chocolate sponge, whipped cream, tart cherries, and a generous splash of kirsch. The contrast of sweet and sour, light and rich. The gateau wasn’t just a dessert—it was a statement, a symbol of sophistication that felt exotic yet familiar.

For those lucky enough to have experienced a Berni Inn meal in its prime (and I was only 5 in 1979) the memory of that Black Forest gateau—will always bring a smile. It was more than just a dessert; it was an experience, a slice of culinary history, it was BRITAIN. Its loss was the most terrible legacy of Thatcher.

In David Beth’s thesis about impending civil war in the UK he notes the vulnerability of critical infrastructure

And that, if you really wanted to sow chaos in the UK, - from whatever angle - that’s what you’d aim for. He might mention substations explicitly

Its not civil war. It is possibly a targeted attack by a foreign power. Nothing civil about it. Playing into the meme of "civil war" does the Russian subversives work for them, so stop being a fool and amplifying this rubbish. This is very similar to the attacks in France at the time of the Olympic games. Whether we choose to admit Russian involvement is an open question, because it would be a casus belli under most international law. On the other hand, we are not constrained if we catch the culprits- this is one of those "wanted dead or alive" cases.

It's worse than that. We have to consider the possibility that a roaming band of woke Ewoks is responsible.

The same furry insurgents who took down the Galactic Empire with wooden spears and log traps could easily their attention to the UK's transport and energy infrastructure, targeting what they call the capitalist-industrial power grid.

We all know Ewoks have been radicalized by woke ideology after exposure to Earth media. Reports suggest they’ve been protesting deforestation, over-reliance on fossil fuels, and “speciesist” portrayals of primitive cultures in sci-fi films. One alleged manifesto, scrawled in an unknown dialect, shows crude pictographs of X-wing pilots bowing before an Ewok elder.

Completely made up eyewitness accounts are even more disturbing. One maintenance worker reported hearing strange chittering sounds moments before the fire broke out. Another swore they saw a tiny figure in a hood waving a protest sign made from repurposed stormtrooper armor.

This expert warns that if left unchecked, woke militant Ewoks may escalate their attacks—perhaps targeting 5G towers next, or worse, blocking Tube stations with log barricades until Heathrow agrees to run on 100% Ewok-approved renewable energy.
