Metallica for the Super Bowl halftime show to unite America.
Metallica black transcends red vs. blue!
Metallica frontman James Hetfield recently called out artists who turn their concerts into political rallies, saying:
“Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their BULLSH*T.”
Do you agree with James? Should musicians keep politics out of concerts, or should artists use the stage to speak about what they believe in?
Let’s debate. What do you think?

I’m so fucking sick of giving away 3% of all our revenue just for processing a payment. Like how is that not disrupted yet? Most ecom brands run on around 15% net. So we are giving up over 16% of our potential pre transaction fee profits to these bastards. Someone please disrupt this. It’s as if credit card processing companies are 16% equity holders in all our businesses.

ELE TÁ AFIADO! Provando que estava certíssimo quando compôs o álbum the stage, M shadows publica uma música não oficial do avenged sevenfold criada com inteligência artificial.
“Conseguem notar? (Que a música é IA) 😈”

Marijuana is disgusting. Regular use is a one way door to becoming a retard and a loser.
Go out. Have a glass of wine. Be social. Get some sun. Take an uber. Fin.

We hear it as consumption. But it's almost all for allocation. This is a huge issue we need to get past.
Name anyone you would rather see allocate 1T+.
Well done.

This is leadership. The presence amongst a defeated workforce has to make an impact. Best of luck to all those who are already working hard to keep moving forward.
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Rafael Melendez retweeted
this is a simple, elegant and very effective idea. take the taxes of the bottom 50% to zero.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
Facts
It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.

Beware the empathy exploit.
Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).
For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

Every time I see a cool new car, I remember the reality of driving it would never be the same as Tesla and the FSD. Like the new scout! That would be so cool. Hopefully FSD could be leased out to other manufacturers 👀

Just stop, we all know your scam.
>Democrats raise taxes.
>Money flows to NGOs packed with Democratic operatives.
>Those operatives take their cut, write a check to Democratic campaigns
> Report back that the problem still exists and needs more funding.
If you fix the problem... the money stops.
So nothing ever gets fixed.
The money vanishes into a network of nonprofits and nobody goes to jail and nobody loses their job and then freaking YOU go on X and point at billionaires.
You doesn't want to fix anything.
Fixed problems don't generate donations or fund your life...
If you wanted to fix the problem you'd care about the fraud, BUT YOU DO NOT.
That's how I know you're lying.
