I attribute this to Billionaire's Psychosis. Musk believes he's one of the few hard-working people on Earth, the victim of everyone else's mooching. So he has all these clever schemes to uncover them. The numerous problems with the schemes never occur to him because he doesn't know what people do.

#OTD in 1979, my favorite era of Grateful Dead history ends as Keith and Donna Godchaux play their last show with the band. (To tie this in to what everybody else is chattering about: This was about three months after the Dead's first appearance on SNL.)

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).
