#News Musk claims trans people are attacking Teslas the same day his estranged daughter critiques him in Teen Vogue interview https://w.st/UDfrL9C.IM
> Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.
>
> VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.
The perfect description of Musk by his daughter
The Rich Are Hoarding Wealth — Because They Know What’s Coming
Billionaires hoard their cash while banks stall on climate action. Wealth inequality is spiraling into collapse—and they planned it this way.Angus Peterson (Edge of Collapse)

I saved this a while ago. I was looking for "where" and mostly got real estate for billionaires. It was planned all along.

@Thumptastic3 real estate is an optimistic investment and store for wealth. Real estate doesn’t “exist” outside of a regulatory system. No government no borders no property lines no way to resolve disputes without violence.
Now I’m not talking about private islands or like that but for Gates and Turner to buy ag land and BlackRock to go heavy in REITs all seems quite optimistic and a hedge against collapse.
Y'know, we argue over the definition of "planet" a lot.
But… we don't even have one *at all* for "moon".
What makes a moon?

What’s the Definition of a ‘Moon’?
Defining the word “moon” is harder than you might thinkPhil Plait (Scientific American)
If it does get defined I'm sure it will look something like:
- Must have a stable orbit around a celestial body that is not a star. (Moons can have moons.)
- its own gravity must be large enough to form a regular spheroid, no potatoes or low density collections of rocks/ice.
I'm pretty sure at least one of mars' moons will get demoted if moons become defined.

Why are Germans being detained by US immigration?
Three tourists and a permanent US resident say they were subjected to aggressive interrogation and held for weeks without knowing why. In response, the German government has extended a travel advisory to its citizens.

This reminds me how in 2022 in the West we canceled all Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky concerts and took out all Dostoyevski and Tolstoy books from the bookstores.
Both things are absurd woke behaviour.
@tuparev
- I can’t see the now-deleted post to which you’re replying, but I suspect you may be confusing symbolic gestures with economic boycotts.
- At this point, in 2025, to use “woke” as an insult in the manner you just did is to explicitly align yourself with a fascist movement — regardless of what your intent was. Like it or not, that’s the unstated connotation of the term. If you meant it that way, let me know and I’ll gladly block you. But in case you didn’t mean in that way: now you know.
It was a piano player who canceled US concerts. As if the people who he is protesting against even know his name. To cancel cultural events is idiotic!
About the woke. Think whatever you want. It is free world. As life-long leading in my country (and in Germany before) green politician I am probably way more to the left than you.
Perhaps you need to read this book..
This piece from Wired might be a good one to share with somebody who’s a few steps behind the news, and hasn’t quite put together the big picture yet.
One of the important pieces of work we need to be doing is just meeting people where they’re at and awakening their anger and their capacity for action.
This is another story that seems like a good big picture catch-up for people who haven’t been following the news, or who are lost in the news details:
wie tesla untergeht.
spannend die rechnung, dass tesla, gemessen an der p/e ratio von toyota, selbst bei einem kursverlust von 93% immer noch überbewertet wäre.
und wenn tesla sich dahinbewegt, wird es ein glockenspiel von margincalls geben, die all seine anderen projekte und unternehmen mit den abgrund reißen werden.

Wow, it's been 5 years ago to the day (actually it *was* the day up till a few minutes ago) when this photo was taken.
It was our last "dine in" meal at a restaurant before the first COVID lockdown, shortly after Ardern's first 1pm nationwide address.
This photo then went on to be one that I wound up staring at longingly for *months*, desperately craving some Cheng Fun (and being unable to make any ourselves) 😅

It *is* delicious! "Tai Chi" at Spitfire Square here in Christchurch
Another very tasty delicacy only served there (at least here in town) are these "Wu Kwok" 😋
