open.substack.com/pub/thestand... The post defining our approach to tech, business and beyond

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... This is the post explaining my approach. This is what I most love to write about - the intersection of skepticism and technology

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... First post explaining my approach. Tech promises always have the same structure. Lots of hype, lots of empty promises, and incinerated capital

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... I’ve covered similar topics in the same way because it’s the way I see the world. And I’ve been around long enough to always take a deep breath when someone tells me the next best thing is right around the corner. A series introduction

@warren.senate.gov You are my senator. Ducking do something

👇🏽

Some sanity remains

Not sure why this has an „adult content“ tag. The headline picture is an etching with unclothed people. No *intimate* anatomy of any kind is visible Man I see much worse every day that isn’t hidden. Do I have to write something about how bad AI is for doing this?!?

People, if you are like this please stay away from Boston, like far away. We literally don’t want you here

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Forgive me for writing about wanton George Santos, but frauds, grifters, and mountebanks are part of the mission here

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Gullibility and AI hype

here's what i wrote

Trump is so hypnotized by his own „never admit defeat, never admit you’re wrong“ tactic that he believes that he can make something real just by saying it’s so. He’s gotten away with it for so long he can’t understand why saying so doesn’t make the war go away. open.substack.com/pub/thestand...

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Whatever Trump said to Netanyahu on the phone, neither the Israelis nor the Iranians care one way or the other at this point

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Trump can drop f* bombs all he wants, neither Netanyahu nor the Iranians are listening

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Rubio says “It’s Over!”, Trump says “WTF”, and everybody keeps shooting at each other, no matter what Trump posts on social media

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Had to say something about Trump’s reaction to musicians pulling out of his „National State Fair“

How is Axios going to continue to drive the insider trading if the markets go up on news that there’s peace AND goes up on the news that there is no peace?!?

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... A little techno-skepticism goes a long way After our Waymo piece last week, and out review of the NASA presentation this week, the Blue Origin blowup and revelations about Tesla today really needed a look

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... It’s good to be a skeptic in a credulous world

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Bessent now saying they have „the makings“ of a deal, and the WSJ reports an opening of the Strait would happen over the course of a month. None of this is entirely clear, and we seem as close to agreeing to agree to discuss an eventual agreement as ever.

The scope of shortages and conservation measures globally is mind blowing. What happens now in the Strait will impact all of us. Like! Share!! Subscribe!!! Thank you!

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Another MOU is in the works, but the global Oil crisis is already well underway. What happens now in the Strait has everyone holding their breath. Like! Share!! Subscribe!!! Thank you for reading!

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... NASA handing out contracts for multiple moon landings scheduled for later this year and beyond SpaceX is still operating on Elon time

BTFD! Woot woot! LFG!!

Pay attention to NASA timelines. They are NOT on Elon time. open.substack.com/pub/thestand...

NASA is going to the Moon, with or without SpaceX

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... If you are following the Artemis program, the presentation that took place yesterday is worth a look. If you’re following SpaceX and not paying attention to how serious NASA is about its procurement and deployment pipeline, you need to start paying attention

Since Mark Carney allowed Chinese cars to be sold in Canada, Elon has cut the price of the Tesla 3 there to $29,000 USD. This competition is the exact reason Elon is blocking Chinese EVs from being sold in the US. It's also the reason we shouldn't allow billionaires to buy the US government.

Pee Wee German says what?! Lying like the Temu Goebbels he is

substack.com/@thestandard... A few words on Trump’s birthday UFC-extravaganza

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Be careful with your Waymo driver

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s prosecution has been dismissed on the basis the Trump DOJ vindictively & selectively prosecuted him in retaliation for his successful lawsuit that humiliated Trump. I walk through the detailed order & explain this huge win for the rule of law. youtu.be/QsaKlnRCsuw?...

Then stop it. What did we elect you for anyway?!

If you haven’t already seen Patrick Boyle‘s take on the SpaceX IPO, do it now. He doesn’t need me reposting him, but you need to see this

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... Absolutely one of my favorite topics: robot taxis and misleading statistics

Don‘t know when to go through the puddle, and don’t know when not to. open.substack.com/pub/thestand...

This was one of my personal favorites from recent days

open.substack.com/pub/thestand... If your cabbie told you he has: driven into puddles so deep it disabled the car; run over a cat; stopped on the highway to wait for a fog to lift; driven for hours aimlessly around a cul-de-sac; and even once kidnapped a journalist, you’d exit the vehicle

Oh Shit, he is a sock puppet

The fate of the entire company rests on Starship open.substack.com/pub/thestand...

Mission scrapped, maybe try again tomorrow. My note on one aspect of Tesla’s make-or-break bet on Starship

Wrote a brief note about this today open.substack.com/pub/thestand...
