Mentioning him in her acceptance of the Nobel puts him on the spot - he will now lose face and status if he’s a petty little shit about it. I think it’s pretty canny.

Nevada state regulators have accused Elon Musk’s Boring Co. of digging without approval, releasing untreated water onto city streets and spilling muck from its trucks, according to a new document obtained by @citycastvegas.bsky.social and @propublica.org.

Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Accused of Nearly 800 Environmental Violations on Las Vegas Project

Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

The photo of Israeli hostage Evyatar David, starved by Hamas in the tunnels beneath Gaza for 2 years was presented as a Palestinian captive by the flotilla crew. Greta clearly recognizes it as horrific treatment of a human being, but deletes it to protect the terrorist group they all simp for.

Light it up for #NautilusNight with an original Nautilus Reading Lamp by Tiffany Glass & Decorating Co. (NYC, USA), bronze & leaded glass, c. 1899-1902. [A later version would use an actual #nautilus shell for the shade.]  Cleveland Museum of Art: clevelandart.org/art/1997.298 #ArtNouveau

official museum photo of the nautilus lamp; Bronze, leaded glass
Overall: 34.5 x 21.3 x 13.4 cm (13 9/16 x 8 3/8 × 5 1/4 in.);
DESCRIPTION Benjamin Hubbell, the architect of the Cleveland Museum of Art, acquired this vase from Louis Comfort Tiffany, with whom he collaborated on various projects. The shape of the nautilus shell provides the perfect space to conceal a light bulb, the newest form of technology at the time. As a result, this lamp was a critical success and sold both in this original form and with the later alteration of a bronze mermaid for the stand and an actual nautilus shell for the shade.

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 20h

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

The U.S. just bailed out Argentina, Treasury Secretary confirms

The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country's central bank.
