Zuck is finally gonna run for President by beating up Elon Musk https://t.co/nbePrHdg32
— River_Tam (@RiverTamYDN) June 22, 2023
Okay, this is unlikely to actually happen — Elon’s money guys will pay Zuckerberg’s mixed-martial-arts trainers to abduct Musk into a luxury prison in Qatar, if necessary — but until I read this, I didn’t imagine there’d ever be a scenario where I’d be cheering Zuckerberg. SRSLY:
I’ve confirmed that Mark Zuckerberg is serious about fighting @elonmusk and is now waiting on the details (if Musk decides to follow through)
“The story speaks for itself,” a Meta spokesperson says re: Zuck’s IG post saying “send me location”https://t.co/4g1IkqOl47
— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) June 22, 2023
… The backstory here: since I recently reported more details about Meta’s forthcoming Twitter competitor, Musk has been taunting Zuckerberg on Twitter with zingers like “Zuck my 👅.” During an internal all-hands meeting at Meta last week, chief product officer Chris Cox told employees the company thinks creators want a version of Twitter that is “sanely run,” drawing cheers. “I’ve always thought that Twitter should have a billion people using it,” Zuckerberg said during a recent podcast interview with Lex Fridman.
In terms of tech billionaire CEOs literally fighting, Musk versus Zuckerberg would be as good as it gets. Musk, 51, has the upper hand on Zuckerberg in terms of sheer physical size, and he has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights” when he was growing up in South Africa. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, 39, is an aspirational MMA fighter who is already winning Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. He also claims to have recently completed the grueling “Murph Challenge” workout in just under 40 minutes.
Regardless of who would win, I think we can all agree that a Musk-versus-Zuckerberg match would be one of the most entertaining fights of all time. It needs to happen. Don’t back down now, Musk.
I honestly didn’t know watching Zuck break Elon’s back Bane-style on live television was something I wanted to see until today.

I’d say Elon will absolutely not follow through but this website is excellent proof that it is possible to box him into humiliating himself in public https://t.co/NwziAWOlV3

Zuckerberg should just insist on a drug test before the fight.
— Slope Slipperer (@agraybee) June 22, 2023
Visualize Elon showing up in a wetsuit (we’ve seen his pallid malformed naked chest on social media, no way he’ll risk *that* again), heavily coated with what his ‘experts’ have assured him is a special seed oil poisonous only to, you know, globalists. Imagine Zuckerberg accidentally ripping Musk’s foot off, and screaming like a scared weasel as he flings it away from him and into the audience, where a clot of fanbois tear each bloody trying to claim it for a trophy…
Mark Zuckerberg has been training for no reason for years and Elon just gave him one. This is the billionaire version of Uwe Boll V Lowtax

In good news today our cat Stewie educated another doggo and sent it packing, this time a German Shepard. The dog belongs to someone (collar) and was running around our neighborhood. It saw Stewie and ran straight at him. Before I could do anything Stewie ran straight at the dog and launched himself in its face. The dog turned its head and Stewie grabbed it around the neck and started biting it over and over, all the while clawing at the dog like a freakin’ blender. One second the dog is rushing the cat while growling and the next it’s yelping loudly, turning tail and running for its life.
Stewie chased him off the property and that was it. Started and over in seconds and ol’ Stewie stood there all floofed up and whipping his tail back and forth. Sixteen pounds of pure nasty kitty if you’re a trespassing dog. This is his 7th doggo take down so far, all coming after him at home.
I wonder what the dog thinks when it sees the cat coming straight at them…lol! I didn’t even have time to yell at the dog, it was that fast. Tough kitty but he still scares me whenever this happens.

For all his mouth-flapping, Musk doesn’t have what it takes to be Emperor of Greater Louisiana. Grand Wizard of the Mines of Mars, maybe, like Zucks could end up being Imperator Intangible of the Legless E-mpire, but he’ll never get enough muskets at his back to carve out anything really substantial.
As to this ‘fight’, won’t happen, should happen. The closest Musk has ever got to “real, hard-core street-fights’ was paying his Daddy’s emerald-mine overseers to hold some half-starved miner while he pranced around screeching like Bruce Lee and delivering a flurry of open-handed body slaps. That said, he’d probably still win any ‘fight’ by default after Zen Zuck Meta-trains his pallid ‘flesh-envelope’ into such a state of high blood-pressure tension that he pops a brain valve the second the opening bell rings.

@Ian R: I saw a theory about Paul’s conversion that suggests he had longer-term plans
The story is that Paul did have an epiphany on the road to Damascus, but not the one he claimed. He had been charged with suppressing followers of the new religion, and was debating what he would do with these “Christians” when he got to Damascus. Boiling them in oil would be a horrible but swift end. Crucifixion would be agonizing but over in a few hours. But then he realized:
So he did.

@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): This so doesn’t matter, that you might as well do just the effective tax rate and, say, have way more brackets or an algorithm for it.
Marginal tax rate simply means diminishing returns once you’re taking in ludicrous sums of money. Rich people are so eager to paint it as the baseline tax rate that they have entirely succeeded. They and their accountants know full well that marginal tax rate is not the base tax rate, but there’s no way to convince the average voter it’s different, and there’s no reason to cut them the kind of break a marginal tax rate represents.

If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
