"INVESTIGATE ELON MUSK." Sen. Alex Padilla dropped the demand and Elon fired back with a "wiener" joke. TMZ's Michael Babcock wants to know WHY Musk should be investigated. Fair scrutiny or political score-settling? 🤔

BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says polygon.com/mass-effect-univ…

A new report claims BioWare removed a flag that resembled the Pride flag from a Mass Effect: Universe demo shown to EA executives "in anticipation of potential negative feedback given Electronic Arts' current shareholding structure." kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-uni…

So they looked at past performance, rejected a gay Mass Effect Universe, and fired all of them, sounds based to me.

👀❗️The HIV epidemic has spread to a third of Russia. A generalized epidemic has been recorded in 30 regions. According to Rospotrebnadzor, the virus has gone beyond traditional risk groups: it has been detected in 3% of men aged 30–50. In the Kemerovo, Irkutsk and Sverdlovsk regions, more than 1% of pregnant women have HIV. Two-thirds of new cases of infection are associated with heterosexual contact, and most new cases are recorded in medical institutions. Only half of HIV carriers receive the necessary therapy, and about 600 thousand people live with the virus without treatment.

//Mass Effect has always had a message of diversity making us stronger. If you think diversity in Mass Effect (and media as a whole) is a bad thing, unfollow me.

SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses The Math Proves the Reality that Musk doesn't want you to see. On Oct 13-14, SpaceX restricted Starshield/Starlink during a 39-missile Russian attack, cutting Ukrainian drone intercepts by 23% and stranding U.S. personnel in Kyiv. Forty-eight hours later (Oct 15), SpaceX blocked U.S.-licensed NRO, Space Force, and NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 in orbit so Russia's COSMOS 2612 weapon could intercept it (99.89%-99.98% posterior) Our Model Demonstrates that the Russian intercept of the US/NATO ICEYE X-36 satellite (contemporaneous with the throttling of Starlink) would not have been possible, and almost certainly not been attempted, without SpaceX resources. At a material opportunity cost, Russia sprinted its COSMOS satellite to intercept ICEYE X36. Based on a previous attempt in June during which X36 maneuvered to evade COSMOS, Russia knew that this would be successful only if X36 could not maneuver. On October 15, SpaceX fixed X36 in place by issuing a collision alert for a sub-kilometer approach with its Starlink 35856 when SpaceX's own data shows that the actual distance was 4.8-5.0x as great. SpaceX issued no warning to COSMOS despite the fact that its sprint was far more threatening than the stable X36 orbit. SpaceX did not maneuver its Starlink 35856 satellite to clear the supposed collision risk. How, absent coordination with SpaceX, could Russia have known that SpaceX would take actions that (a) misrepresented the danger posed by X36, and (b) resulted in the fixing of X36 thereby enabling COSMOS's successful intercept? Thus, SpaceX was directly involved in simultaneously compromising Ukraine’s defensive and offensive capabilities. The conjunction of these two events makes innocent explanations untenable. The Pentagon Capture & Iran Round Two Trap: Pentagon CTO Emil Michael who cashed out $7M–$35M from Musk’s inner-circle SpaceX vehicles (M8/Gigafund 0.1 and M6/Valor M33 II) and KQ Partners / xAI (selling xAIfor $5M–$25M three days before taking over CDAO/OSCand 21 days before SpaceX bought xAI, while keeping M8, M6, M9, M10 & Nomadic open) and Pete Hegseth purged rival Anthropic in two hours, surrendered combat command over US drones used to attack Iran to Starlink’s "Terms of Service," and on October 2 named Musk Co-Director of Project Meridian to design the Pentagon's "Future of Warfighting" just as America enters Iran Round Twowith depleted Patriot/THAAD magazines and Russia feeding U.S. warship/aircraft locations to Tehran. SpaceX’s actions in Ukraine raise serious questions about its alignment with US security interests and its reliability as a cornerstone of US defense. These questions are particularly troubling given the effectively irreplaceable position SpaceX has been granted by the Hegseth/Emil Michael Pentagon. $SPCX $TSLA Our full quantitative analysis below w/ @streetwiseprof
