    It’s also a testament to Altman’s dealmaking prowess: a progressive San Francisco tech leader walked into an administration that opposed everything he publicly stood for, and within days, he secured a crown.

    Bullshit. Absolute steaming mountains of bullshit.

    These techbros don’t stand for anything. They’re a bunch of objectivist libertarian assholes who enjoy the aesthetics of being perceived as progressive because it’s trendy in the kind of social spaces they want to inhabit.

    This isn’t about “dealmaking skills”, it’s about Trump being a giant baby who will do anything for anyone who kisses his ass, and Altman not giving a flying fuck about Trump being a fascist because sucking up to him makes him money.

      Also, he’s completely insulated from consequences.

      Yes, the right hates queer people, but he’s rich enough never to be bothered by it. He’s not sacrificing anything.

    “Stargate” is already taken for another science fiction. You’ll have to pick another name.

    No, see, it will be very real. Nothing like the show. We launch this ring thing into orbit, then we attach really long rubber bands between it and the passenger capsule. Then we simply released the capsule from the big ass tripod holding the rubber bands in tension. Theoretically that capsule would definitely get to the Moon that much quicker.
