If you contribute to a 401k at work, chances are you’re an indirect shareholder of Tesla. Teslas board was just dinged in a shareholder lawsuit for their fiduciary irresponsibility in giving Musk an incredibly unwarranted pay package ($55B). Now I like drugs like the next guy, but I’m not a CEO. Will a shareholder sue Teslas board for Musk’s irresponsible drug use? 🤞

I don't know why people aren't making the point more to Republicans that US doesn't "give money to Ukraine." It gives money to US arms manufacturers to make and send arms to Ukraine. The money stays here.

I realized today that I’ve barely digested an ounce of the gallon of the cultural and biological trauma that was Covid. And it’s truly not over yet. I’m also realizing that I need to pay attention to things around me. The sun on my face. The pictures in the museum. The music and the food. I’m transfixed by the ants marching on the ground. Gesturing at one another and little concerned with global warming, the next election or the next act of performance terrorism.

“This embarrassment of riches reveals priorities grossly out of order — disabled travelers are forced to hand over their mobility equipment, risking that it may be returned damaged or unusable, while passengers sip cocktails not only from lay-flat business class seats, but from bar stools, restaurant-style booths, and sofas.”

I’m not going to vote for Biden because he can’t flame someone on Twitter and, with the miraculous power of social media, stop a rolling genocide happening in a Middle East conflict that has been raging for 75 years. I shall hold my breath until I get my way.

Late night thoughts.🤔“Washington himself rode at the head of an army to suppress the insurgency, with 13,000 militiamen provided by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The rebels all went home before the arrival of the army, and there was no confrontation.”

I miss the days when critical race theory was all the rage. Such innocent times 🥰

Results are out for the guaranteed basic income pilot in Austin where 135 people got $1,000/mo for a year.

9% of people reported working less and 7% reported working more. Of those who worked less, half upskilled for better future jobs, and half chose unpaid care work.

Housing security significantly increased, as did food security. People lived in better housing and ate more balanced meals.

People also felt significantly more connected to the people and places in their neighborhoods.

Like Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera was nominated (and rightly so) for best supporting actress. Any complaints there?

Honestly, I think Ryan Gosling is padding. Robert Downey, Junior, is probably going to get best supporting. But that’s my opinion.

Here are the nominees for best actress in a leading role. This is Margo Robbie’s competition. Not Ryan Gosling.

Annette Bening (Nyad)
Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall)
Carey Mulligan (Maestro)
Emma Stone (Poor Things)

Sorry Margo, but there are some pretty solid performances here.

Best actor and best supporting actor are two separate categories. Margot Robbie was the lead and Ryan Gosling was in a supporting role. Stop with the apples to oranges comparisons. They cheapen the ACTUAL problems of inequality.

Evangelicals often claim they’re being persecuted but truth is, they’re just not very likeable.
