So this happened...an actual news article from a respected source about the fact that Tesla paid $0 in taxes in 2024. Suckerberg protecting First Bro Musk? So much for that free speech.

1/4 Alt National Park Service: Elon Musk staff has been caught plugging in hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

So I've started crocheting as a diversion from current events. Has anyone else taken up or resurrected a hobby for sanity's sake?

Looks about right to me.

Manhattan smog: fog + pollutants. From 1971-77, the Documerica project captured 20,000 images of America’s environmental impact. Explore these through the National Archives. The photo below is from Documerica—join the movement! Let’s not forget our past, or we’re bound to repeat it.

Trump on Elon Musk: “He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good…. Thank you to Elon.” Makes one wonder 🤔

MAGA cheated, US democracy was murdered in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
