The results are in, and it ain't pretty for Elon. Tesla's profits tanked 46% in 2025, with no relief in sight. The stock market is rewarding Elon's sleight of hand right now, but there's only so long the pipe dreams can keep this valuation sky high. #TeslaTakedown techcrunch.com/2026/01/28/t...

For those keep tracking at home, SpaceX also invested $2 billion in XAI. Musk is using his companies to fund one another.

Perfect encapsulation of the MAGA project.

Heatwaves kill more Australians than floods, fires and cyclones combined.

If we named them, we could treat them as the public health emergencies they are.

Should we name them after the fossil fuel companies that contribute to them?

For those in Melbourne today, don't be fooled by the mild morning. The super-hot air is sitting like a giant bubble right above us, waiting for the sun to come up and start mixing all that cooler air at the surface with the air above. When it does, it's going to get hot, fast. Stay cool, stay safe.
