Some times, Boulder Creek is in the mountains between Santa Cruz and San Jose (it’s more remote than it sounds I think)and it gets regular bus service on winding two lane roads and there’s a stop at Big Basin State Park where there’s no cell service in wide swaths of valleys and mountain sides.
Apple just got warned if they don’t bring manufacturing to USA they will be hit by company specific tariffs after Tim Cook bent the knee twice with personal pleas to lower tariffs for a bit and million dollar personal donations.
One of Bernie Sanders campaign slogans in his first primary campaigns which started in 2015 was “Bernie Beats Trump” - the lack of enthusiasm around Hillary Clinton was palpable.
I think all three of you are right. The official Bernie campaign did not use this as a slogan until the 2020 campaign (so 2019-2020)-- however, it was in use by supporters during the 2016 campaign (source: I was in the crowd of Bernie supporters at the 2016 Democratic National Convention when the guy standing next to me started the chant & it quickly spread. It was so interesting to see how quickly it spread from just one guy.)
I would only dissent in that it was prior to 1981, Lewis Powell laid the outline for the corporate world's reaction to consumers asserting nascent rights ala Nader https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Mem... and would later serve on the Supreme Court with a big influence for decades.
The beta version actually updates more often than the release group. I use the beta so I get the updates sooner. It's been rock stable for me for YEARS.
It's very light on details on Thiel's kompromat, but we know he's gay, so wild speculation - unless they have video of him with underage boys not a lot of leverage there. In Thiel's interview with The Atlantic he speculated billionaires like authoritarian leaders because the billionaires are bored. The article does list them using drugs and women to entrap Musk but the guy admits to those things on Rogan and twitter and to a pregnancy fetish - but is the video evidence of any of that going to make him change his behavior? He just seems kind of shameless at this point, the change in his Ukraine views within past few years also aligns with his move to MAGA mindset. I don't like Musk but this is kind of weak IMHO, with just one former FBI agent claiming this and not quite as strong as multiple people claiming Trump is under Putin's thumb.
It's been speculated they have similar stuff on Trump from his trips to Russia decades ago, though Trump is so erratic on Russia lately, usually on their side, sometimes not which is kind of confounding.
Musk, Trump, and Kennedy are all known associates of Epstein. Video of conservatives engaging in pedophilia wouldn't be kompromat, it's simply table stakes for 2025 conservative values.
They used the drug sniffing dog alert to seize money - I thought all US money that is not new is contaminated with drugs - that just seems ripe for abuse, even though these individuals seem guilty as heck, local police have a history of abusing forfeiture.
I think this is it, though for certain works, we spent a lot of time in class discussing and acting out and this sort of engagement greatly increased my appreciation and comprehension of those works, thanks to my English teachers.
