Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Some career news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the company’s workforce.

I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.

But this time, alone.

If not Musk’s Neuralink, which billionaire WOULD you want implanting a chip in your brain?

@simdoes @ethanschoonover I have Bot Sentinel extension installed and I enabled the option to show the ratings of all posters. 21% is the Bot Sentinel rating for dril. their scale is 0-24% - normal, 25-49% - satisfactory, 50-74% -disruptive and 75-100%- problematic.

@ethanschoonover it's both hilarious and troubling that instead of dealing with a failed rocket launch Musk is spending a big part of his weekend trying to figure out how to deal with a shitposter. Its clear he has no idea how to deal with the situation but wants to find some kind of angle to ban .

The funniest part of elon showing the world his true colors is that he’s single handedly destroyed his own brand. Ppl used to feel cool driving a tesla and now it’s embarrassing 😂

I successfully helped my grandma turn her iPhone flashlight off over the phone and you best believe that’s going on my resume

I’m starting to think Elon’s mommy didn’t love him.

I’m also thinking she might have had a point.

We can all take individual action to reduce our carbon footprint, but it would be really helpful if all our governments stopped subsidizing fossil fuel industry billionaires.

@paul aand it is gone. dril was trolling Musk way too hard for him to stomach it.

This site is too normal and useful. Where are the crying billionaires and his fans screeching because I'm not paying $8 a month to put a clown nose on my bio?

@davemark @gruber is the full video of the TED talk already available yet? The DF post says it should be available today but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Elon Musk lost $13 billion in 24 hours on Thursday, and he’s still the world’s second richest person

Don't tell me billionaires can't afford a wealth tax.

according to Elon’s simps, you’re a ‘cheapskate’ unless you give the richest man in the world money every month for an emoji

TO RECAP:
Elon is giving Twitter blue for free to celebrities who don’t want it and are frantically changing their names to remove it. Oh and he’s also verifying dead celebrities against their will who just want to rest in peace.

Australian comedian "Dame Edna" was extremely popular in Canada. Rest in peace Barry Humphries and thank you for the years of laughter.
