Elon Musk has been a staggering net loss for humanity, amassing unprecedented amounts of stolen wealth while providing (1) goofy cars that cant compete with Chinese EVs, (2) a space exploration grift, and (3) a vast CIA surveillance program used to carry out worldwide atrocities.

By no means comprehensive nor is it full of too many deep cuts but if you see The Furious this weekend and martial arts aren’t usually your bag, I made a fun list of great stuff to dig into either starring or made by the folks involved

David Hockney died. What a shame, I liked much of his art.
When he was a boy, he wrote a letter to The Eagle comic, and they published it. He was sussed from the start.

What's most infuriating about the Musk trillionaire shit is that his enterprise is built almost exclusively on gov contracts. It's not just that he's expropriating our wealth in an abstract way -- his fortune is built on the tax dollars we pay, that he then obtains through graft.

I love that someone said that. Everyone hates Boomers (understandably) but it is genuinely a problem that the “Great Transfer of Wealth” is not going to be to the children and grandchildren of Boomers.

RIP David Hockney, who made a beautiful collage of Teresa Russell as Marilyn Monroe for the movie Insignificance that, apropos considering the title, is just in the background of one shot for like two seconds

Fun fact: only one writer ever took a serious look at Zorro Ranch
it was me, and I did this after a week in Santa Fe, and I know I didn’t get the full story. Rumors of covert uranium mines I couldn’t confirm. But this was about the only coverage of Zorro newrepublic.com/article/1547…
