Trump is the victim again. See how badly he needs our support? (/s, just to make it explicit.)

Yeah, hopefully. Musk loves pushing boundaries. Eventually you wonder if he pushes too far. As other comments here suggest, though, the one thing he really highlights is the arbitrary nature and general inconsistency of these boundaries. The rules may be written down, but they don't apply equally. It's helpful to be reminded of that sometimes.
Its use of a single letter app name did, too, and we see how quickly they bent the rules to accommodate the name change.
At this rate he's going to end up hanging himself just to demonstrate his full MAGA credibility.
Exactly this. An arraignment of a former president has become a non-event. This is ideal for Trump, regardless of how MSNBC tries to spin it.
Just celebrating Barbie. I won't be worried until they do Oppenheimer.
I'm disappointed that he's leaving EF. This is a very good signing by Uno-X.
I used to work for Mozilla. They are funded my many sources, of which Google is only one. Google does not drive Firefox's feature set or roadmap in any way at all.
the lady with the sign that caused the crash 2(?) years ago had no consequences at all, not even fined.
Are you sure about that? Maybe they ended up waiving the fines in the end, but reports at the time were that she was arrested and fined, and that for a while there was a possibility of jail time:

the police that’s around the route and especially on mountain stages are extremely passive. They just stand to the side and watch the show without doing anything at all.
They can't police every fan on the side of the road. The person who caused the crash today may have only been in the path of the race for a few seconds, leaving no time for any sort of police action.
There's no reason to think this person today intended any malice. Same with the woman with the sign a couple years ago. It was carelessness and lack of understanding of just how fast the peloton rides. Maybe it would help to make some examples out of some people by fining them, but I'd rather start with educating the spectators first. There should be signs along the course, in the towns or on the climbs where people park, etc.
I think you've just summed up modern civilization right there.
