Friday Open Thread.

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 4/24/26, 8:16 am

Gosh, I really love Seattle in the Spring. Sorry in advance for the non-Seattle people reading this. It’s mostly one bus lane and all one part of the city.

  • Denny Way bus lanes mean the end of the L8. They are going to be GR8. The critics are full of H8.
  • The free pop-up clinic in Seattle Center is high demand on what’s usually its slowest day.

    Cool the state department on their official website just straight up admitted the United States is a Puppet regime complicit in Genocide.

    As the United States has explained in multiple letters to the U.N. Security Council, including most recently on March 10, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally, as well as in the exercise of the United States’ own inherent right of self-defense.

    Court tosses Ka$h lawsuit against media.

    No not that one. The one where MSNBC quoted an FBI source saying J Edgar Boozer spends more time in nightclubs than at work.

    The judge looked at the quotation marks which attribute the statement to a source and not the reporter and said,

    “Get the fuck outta here.”

    I’m watching Colonel Macgregor on YouTube, and he is saying the Israeli army won’t participate in the ground of Iran. In short, Israel expects the US to do the heavy lifting .

    Ceasefire is so weird. In Hebrew it means ‘booming and raising apartment buildings”.

    wha’ happened to teh kreepfuck?

    Silly blind faith in the bloated orange sleazebag and its band of sicko-phants finally caught up to the troll. How “serious”..

    We called it. The House will flip in November and at this rate the Senate as well.

    An impeachment in the House is a lock and there’s no need for a conviction in the Senate as the bloated orange gasbag is sundowning and won’t last the rest of the term.

    Fun.. a spell of enduring jerky, dickbrane BOWMAN.. before a Dem is elected in 2028.

    7,
    Speaking of stumbling U.S. EV companies, you shouldn’t sleep on the TSLA earnings call this past Wednesday.
    It was a shitshow.

    Elmo got on the call and admitted (his words) that Hardware 3 “simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD.”

    He said he wished it were otherwise. He said the memory bandwidth is one-eighth of what Hardware 4 has. And that’s the end of the conversation. So as far as the 4 million Tesla vehicles on the road right now with Hardware 3, none of them can ever obtain FSD. And for all of those owners who each paid between $8,000 and $15,000 for FSD “when it becomes available” Tesla is now in breach. And as recently as 2022 Elmo is on public record assuring those owners that HW 3 is capable of FSD. So recorded bad faith.

    Elmo said these owners who the company has fucked in the ass will be offered a “discounted trade-in” towards the purchase of a new vehicle with HW 4. One major investor said the estimate is about 285,000 owners affected by the breach, or about $2.5 billion in direct damages, not to mention indirect damages, compensatory damages, legal fees and potential punitive damages. It’s possibly the largest consumer breach in the history of the planet.

    As for the actual earnings? Cooked to a charry crisp. They liquidated warranty reserves and booked future tariff refunds to pump up revenues. Then released the results using non-GAAP metrics to hide over $1 billion in stock compensation. And the real sweetener? The CFO announced that the original $20 billion in CAPEX is now boosted to $25 billion, resulting very obviously in negative cashflow from here on out.

    Where will the money come from, you ask? Dilution. They’ll be issuing flaming dumpsters of equity to raise capital for the foreseeable future.

    So no need to worry about the lying troll’s whereabouts.
    He’s sweating this out trying to figure out a way to dump his bloated position in a stock that is more or less guaranteed to drop over the next 12 months. When he eventually does return, he will of course claim, as always, to have retconned his portfolio to avoid this crisis. And that will somehow make him feel better. Weird.

    Sarah Fitzpatrick, the Atlantic author who is being sued by Kash Patel for reporting sourced stories of his frequent bouts of drunkenness, has said that today she is being inundated with new first person sources sharing new reports that she is busy tracking down and corroborating for future write-ups.

    Oh, and just coincidentally, today is Barbara Streisand’s birthday.

    Surprised with the 8, the southern leg didn’t get the blame for the delays. I see to be just a crosstown between Seattle Center and Capitol Hill, was extended in the 90s to cover MLK North. Was just shifted off of MLK between Jackson and Massachusetts to serve Judkins Park Station. Hopefully Denny bus lanes work, usually where it gets delayed the most. Shifting it to 23rd will make it easier to electrify, especially when the 48 eventually becomes a trolleybus. Don’t need to fully wire the routes anymore.

    In his Florida bar admission application in 2005 FBI Director Kashyup Pramod Patel was forced to disclose two prior criminal offenses. Both involved public intoxication to the point of being incapacitated. The most recent arrest involved indecent exposure and public urination.

    And The Atlantic hasn’t even begun disco.

    When the time comes for the Director to be deposed, the defense team is going to march into the conference room each bearing a raging hard-on.
