Oh, it's supposed to be a globe, I think.
Spoiler:
But the moon is about the size of Texas and appears to be orbiting at about 200 miles above the planet.

And the image is left/right reversed, with the North Pole at the top but Florida pointing West.

The link goes to EDGAR at sec.gov. No Trump hits.

And the image of the Earth and Moon on page 17 is just... superb.
Are we sure that is Earth and the Moon? Those landmasses are unrecognizable. Maybe it is a view of the Earth in 1 billion years?

Page 22 is a ton of fun. They list a bunch of components and possible vendors. There are a couple of big names in that list but notably absent is AWS/Azure -- because they'd get kicked off as soon as the child porn starts flowing in -- instead using no names like RightForge. Hilarious.

The whole thing worth a look.


I made some decent money off this turd on its debut and am tempted to short now but you can't get in front of stupid.
OMG you bought and sold that stock? I'm impressed if so. Smarter then me.

I’m reading through that investor presentation, I can only conclude that Trump believes Netflix banned him too.

…or you went full on Trump supporter. You know how easily you fall for cult leaders. I mean, at Octocon we have to keep tabs on you at all times or the first person you see in a robe has you in a van and on the way to their temple/attic.

First 2-3 days. Sold in the $80-90 range. It was a good week.

I just can't take this seriously with Devin Nunez as CEO. He knows absolutely nothing about technology or running a large business - he's a former dairy farmer for heaven's sake.

Not a small farmer tho. It's basically a corporate enterprise.

On the other hand, this is just another grift. Trump University, Trump Charities, etc. Nunes just wants in on the grift, given Trump and the trumpists, it's probably a far better grift than he can get as a member of Congress (at least until Johnny Law starts, proceeds, and finishes detailing the grift - which takes a LOT longer in the private sector than the public). Remember that the Trump U/Trump Charities (and other, undisclosed Trump grifts) went on for years/decades before Johnny Law caught on, and there are undoubtedly other grifts which haven't been unearthed yet...

Also: There are three ways to not tell the truth: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Devin Nunes has officially resigned from Congress and is rumored to be joining Trump's media company.

I wish his constituents would recognize how this shows where his priorities lie ($$), but they won't.

Didn't Nunes announce this like a month ago?

In any event I think Nunes was screwed electorally - he barely won last time, and I think his district would've been a lot harder under the new map.

Is Nunes replaced (by Gavin Newsom's choice), or is there an immediate special election, or does the seat remain vacant this year?

Now that he's no longer a sitting elected federal official, I look forward to him getting hit with a mountain of lawsuits and subpoenas.

Even though the regular election is seven months away?

EDIT: I mean eleven, oops

Hardly seems like time enough for primaries and a campaign.

They won't bother, it's just to fill out his seat for the rest of his term. Primaries/campaigns probably go on unchanged to replace his replacement.

Yeah, they needed a big splash on the day the SEC announced their investigation into the DWAC SPAC transaction. Nunes announced plans to resign in January but not sure it was 100%.
