Time magazine has devolved into something very bad.

they’ve captured the 2021 zeitgeist pretty well there

And they expect people will pay them to read/look at that?

I just saw the incredible documentary about the Thai cave rescue, I was so afraid that he was going to pop up at any point, even as a punchline, but thankfully it completely ignores 100% of his bullshit.

I'm ok with that choice. he is an exemplar of the bullshit americans eat up. now that trump is out of the spotlight musk's the biggest one still going.

as best i can tell, musk has very little actual real-world impact?

he's just a fantastically rich memelord, which honestly makes him a perfect selection

all those stupid fake satellites have a real world effect bcz you can;t see the stars properly any more :(

also pareene's argument here (tho tbf this has not yet manifested in the real world): https://theap.substack.com/p/losing-a-street-fight-to-elon-musk

ps time was always shit and made hitler person of the year in 1938

hitler did have quite an effect in 1938

oy that pareene piece makes horrible sense.

lol i just realised that "man of the year" was time magazine pioneering shitposting

Remember when

Someone got paid for that. Perhaps even a number of someones.

fuck off old lunch i was the person of the year in 2007 you cant take that away from me

i'm enjoying my control of the information age

One time Spin named my hard drive album of the year.

i felt so welcomed into my world in 2007

this guy could be a good alternate for Time

should have used this for the cover instead of a picture of a guy with plugs

Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April

plug this payment interface into your website. plug your car into the wall. plug this hair into my skull. plug this cable into your brain. plug up space with this garbage. man of the year. plugger of the century.

Should have just named "Plugs" as whatever of the year.

when you're a plugger, every problem looks like a receptacle

This magazine cover looks like a prop on the office wall of the next Bond villain.

it is only natural that the villain of Bond would be Plug

I'm old enough to remember when Adam Schefter was Time's Man of the Year

(Ha ha)

I love the way Time gave it to Nixon in '71 and then a joint award to Nixon/Kissinger the year after 👏👏👏 quality work lads 👏👏👏

kissinger got the peace prize in 73. they pulled the trigger too early

well, yeah

@chadkirchner What do you know about Tesla apparently using 2017 packs in brand new cars? I’ve never heard about this before. pic.twitter.com/EHa1X05CG7

one of the design "quriks" on Teslas is that they have no consistency whatsoever. I remember an article about some mechanic who disassembled 10+ of them and found that no two were built alike; most of them were missing bolts or clamps somewhere. that was a couple years ago...I doubt anything's changed since

yeah their qc is famously awful

my little brother bought one and it wound up bricking within 100 miles. randomly shut off and wouldn't start back up. spent hours on the phone and they even sent a tech out there but they couldn't get it working so they had to tow it away. now to their credit they did give him a full refund but they also banned him from buying a new Tesla for a year (??)

lol

Did your brother ask if they could extend the ban

lmao thats fantastic

do you have games on your phone pic.twitter.com/p5tOJ5Am3y

Musk has a honky Kim Jong-un vibe.
