May this peace hold.

Elon Musk is now worth over $500 billion.

That means his net worth has gone up by $100 billion in less than a year.

Tax. The. Damn. Rich.

Hard yes from me too. I recently heard a group of teachers saying all these & not seeing any connections: 1) I don't trust students not to use GenAI so I have tests 2) I'm bored with reading the same submissions 3) I use GenAI to check the feedback I'm giving 4) education is becoming dehumanised.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Not surprising is it? Boris Johnson said inflation didn't matter and woosh the profiteers weighed in. So much UK money is locked up in housing due to high land prices, sky high rents and high utility bills that many people have next to nothing left for spending on much else given food costs on top.

Yiiiiikes 🤦🏻‍♂️

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

From the FT:
“UK consumers have curbed spending more than anywhere else in the G7 since the pandemic…
Since the start of the Covid pandemic in 2020, UK household spending has risen just 1 per cent in real terms and fallen 3 per cent on a per capita basis.”

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

YOU CANNOT DISCOUNT SOMETHING SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY PERCENT DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND HOW NUMBERS WORK ANYMORE

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

A new study in @nature.com shows the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to renewable energy capacity — despite claiming for years to be leading the energy transition.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

They know they won't be in power forever. So, they're breaking as much as they can right now, in the hope that whoever follows them won't be able to put it all back together.

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

If you don’t foster kittens for your local animal shelter, you’re missing out.
