Seems like Elon has paid about $200 billion for a, maybe, $15 billion company. But he doesn’t care because it’s nearly all other people’s money.

RT @schwarz@twitter.com

Tesla’s stock price fell another 7% today after news that Elon Musk’s sold $4 billion more of it. It's now down 22% since the day he took over Twitter, meaning Tesla's market value has dropped by $160 billion. Its shareholders probably aren’t happy about his bird app adventure.

For fellow legally-minded folks, I set up this instance (esq.social). Feel free to sign up and/or migrate over. Usual good behavior practices will prevail (no hate speech, being a jerk, etc. -- will flesh that out later).

Clearest explanation I've seen of the state of play in the House.

RT @Fritschner@twitter.com

The House is still in play. R majority is likeliest outcome but Dems have a path. Every seat matters for majority and for vote math. My watchlist is down to 18 seats; Dems would need to net 3 lead flips to win. R's will win some where Ds are up now so it's tough... but possible.

Don't sleep on state supreme courts. Republicans flipped the NC Supreme Court and took 3 open seats in OH. MI voters returned incumbent judges to the bench, and some conservatives lost in KY. These are key places where the abortion battle will head next.

What are the data on risk of Long COVID in vaxxed vs. unvaxxed?

I will review 4 studies.

Bottom line: there’s about a 30% to 50% risk reduction (though the range across studies is 15% to 80%)

✔️ btw I’m paid $0 to share these data & have no stocks in pharma companies

#Introduction

I'm Jennifer Mendelsohn, @clevertitletk on Twitter.

After a long career as a freelance magazine journalist (People, Slate, NYT, WaPo et al), I started applying my reporting skills to genealogy. In 2018, I created the political movement known as #resistancegenealogy, investigating the family trees of anti-immigrant pols & pundits. Also deeply interested in debunking and Internet misinfo.

Currently (one of the very few?) straddling the intersection of journalism and genealogy.

My reaction:

I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
