Swedes with banana, curry powder, and peanuts on pizza. Along with chicken and pineapple, all together.

In most other countries outside the US they are forced to be honest. It’s still an idealised version, but you wouldn’t be able to get away with showing double meat in Europe.

They certainly can be noisy.

Ah phew, was wondering why I hadn’t even had the notification.

Yeah exactly. CNBC aren’t really twisting anything here, and they even mention the WaPo article in the 2nd bullet point at the top.

If there’s anyone worth looking at over the release of this story it’s WaPo. One could reasonably assume that Bezos wanted this story published, as Musk is a big rival. However at the same time they’ve just announced that they won’t endorse anyone for this election for the first time in decades, which at best could be seen as hedging their bets in case of a Trump presidency but at worst be seen as pandering to Trump.

Pretty sure this podcast stays on topic throughout. There’s a chunk of background, of course, because it basically has to explain the joke every time so the discussion can happen.

No, she didn’t. However she did end up in aerospace anyway.

There was a 16th Minute of Fame podcast episode about it, including a recent interview:

Homer didn’t deny anything, he wasn’t even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn’t help.

NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.

Because they make more money as they are.

Apparently “free speech” means Elon is free to ban journalists who publish things he doesn’t like.

Nah I’ve seen him interviewed on news channels a couple times since then. Not a full on sit down face to face long format interview, but still a solo on-air appearance.

The main one I’m thinking of was when Taylor Swift said something nice about him, the reporter told him first in the middle of the interview.

the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s first solo on-air conversation since becoming Kamala Harris’ running mate.

Pretty sure he’s had plenty of solo conversations before this.

Honestly, if they can’t even get the basics right in the first paragraph I’m not going to continue reading.

Ontario is in Canada.

In fairness, when I saw Rochester I immediately assumed the non-city in the UK.

Edit: Wait what, it talks about Bristol, also in the UK, but apparently Ontario is also a county in the state of NY (which is again named after a UK city). So you were right, this is 'merica.

That’s way too fast, you need a speed of 3600 RPM to generate at 60Hz (3000 RPM for 50Hz).

It’s crazy, basically the 2nd American civil war. Miners storming Pinkerton machine gun nests is how the US got down to a 40 hour work week.

Yep that sounds like the story!

Yeah I suspect this was filmed at the original version, from memory they toured around a bit and then cheaped out and fucked it all up. Like, the new Shrek costume was really bad and just looked like a green man had been shopping at the Gap.

Edit: according to the video linked in the comment below, it first ran in 2008 and was really good. Then, in 2024 they revived it, and it was bad. Really bad. For starters, the revival was anti-union and didn’t hire any union workers.

Didn’t they like stop paying the actors or something and then cheap out with the costumes?

Hell the US came and joined Israel’s side in a war after the IDF sank the USS Liberty.
