Keep this in mind: Elon Musk’s net worth is tied to Tesla stock—he uses it as collateral for loans. Tesla lost 48% of its value in months—sales are down, investors don’t trust him, and JPMorgan says there’s no historic comparison. Hype built his empire. Reality is catching up.

As a PhD student leading an extremely humble life (on modest stipends), I don't buy anything but necessities. But the T-shirt Jay is wearing might be a necessity. We need to say it loud, "Mundos sine caesaribus."

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

「じゃあ、君たち昭和の価値観に戻りたい？」 すごく共感する。 自分はどっぷり昭和生まれで、昭和の価値観が窮屈で、良しとされる価値観には完全に同意はできなくて、昭和のうちに日本を出た。 日本の外には違う価値観があるし、違ってもいいんだという気づきは、何にも替え難い安心感なのでした。 いま世界的に起こっている保守化/右傾化は、一種の揺り戻しなのだろうと思う。何事もエクストリームに振れると、必ず、振り子は逆の側に戻ってくる。そうやってあっちにいったりこっちにいったりしながら、でも超長期的に見れば、傾向としては着実に、少しづつリベラルの方向に修正がなされてゆく、そう思うし信じたい。
