I don't have much nice to say about the UK royals, but they put up with infinitely worse.

Yeah, their reason for existing is to be doxxed and have their privacy relentlessly invaded.

I know you are being facetious, but the reason for them to exist is a tradition that dictates they are born into a job they can't really quit.

It's a terrible job, but, at least, it has a great compensation package.

I was thinking about this last night during the Space chat. Jason Calacanis was insisting that the level of tracking represented by ElonJet was something new and all I could think of was paparazzi. For decades, movie stars have been monitored in a far more intrusive way.

That doesn’t mean the plane tracking was or wasn’t good, it just surprised me that Calacanis was so unaware.

Calacanis is such an obvious Elon shill. It’s like a high school athlete looking up to their favorite pro football player.

The funny part was when Calacanis was shilling so hard for Musk during the Twitter acquisition saga that Musk told him to chill a bit.
