So much talk about Elon Musk’s wealth drop off in the last 12 months due to a downturn in market pressures as well as other economic, labour and manufacturing problems.
But here is Tesla, Ford and GM’s stock price.
Note that stock prices moving roughly in tandem until mid-October when Musk's impending takeover of #twitter is finalised and then ... a huge drop off.

A tale of two presidents.

“Serf” Greenwald made half a million a year at the Intercept.

Somebody needs to remind these people that you can't win an election just by saying you won it. You have to actually get more votes than the other candidates.

And if you think you've been wronged, you have to be able to prove it.

All over the country, there are emergency responders and workers actually, actively taking care of life.

To all the emergency responders, snow plow drivers, utility workers, medical professionals, service workers, and those like the people who showed up here to take care of freezing, mistreated migrants- to all people that had to brave the elements to the benefit of others, thank you. The public owes you debt of gratitude.

On the other hand, scorn should be heaped upon Greg Abbott. Oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook: scapegoat and demonize a racial group. Give your angry supporters--for whom you feel nothing but contempt anyway, by the way--someone to feel superior to. Frees you from the need to actually do anything for them, doesn't it?

It's ugly and wrong.

Kari Lake’s attorneys were just hit with a SANCTIONS filing after losing their frivolous election lawsuit.

The “finding out” stage for Kari Lake continues.

Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.

Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #energy

The lap of nature is an endless love. For some moments, I forgot about the sub-zero cold of the north. Nature's embrace and pure air in lungs made me meditative. I had to close my eyes to feel the depth. From my winter wonderland, I am sending you hope, love, warmth and joy 🧡

Friends:
The men, women and children who perished in extermination camps had *lives*. They were grandparents, musicians, rabbis, schoolgirls, craftsmen, mothers, shopkeepers, toddlers, artists. They played, created, dreamed, wondered, wrote, cooked, studied, taught, cared for others, were imperfect, and were loved.

We must not forget them.
