BREAKING: E Jean Carroll has WON her second defamation case! The judge has granted partial SUMMARY JUDGEMENT! The trial will only be to determine how much trump owes her in damages!
BREAKING: Elon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet, according to an excerpt adapted from Walter Isaacson’s new biography - CNN
Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, funded $13 billion by loans from big-name commercial and investment banks, and $31 billion in equity. Of the latter portion, Musk contributed about $24 billion of his own cash, while a group of investor friends including Larry Ellison, Ron Baron, and Prince Al Waleed of Saudi Arabia provided $7 billion.
According to Elon Musk’s own math, the company formerly known as Twitter has lost 90% of its value and could be worth just $4 billion

Tesla is set to defend itself for the first time at trial against allegations that failure of its Autopilot feature led to the death of a driver.
Photographed this lovely Holiday House several years ago while camping at Arches NP. Obviously, well loved.

I learned something new today! 😃
“Through such trials birders develop what they call “nemesis birds,” birderspeak for the species that bedevil them again and again, despite their best efforts. As birding surges in popularity, the hobby’s unique parlance requires explanation. To “twitch” is to drop everything to chase a rare bird found outside its proper range. A “spark bird” is what birders call the bird that piques someone’s interest in birding.”

NEW: Key witness against former President Trump and his co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after switching lawyers, according to a new court filing. via NBC News
Over 200 vessels 🚢 are stranded on both sides of the Panama Canal as an unprecedented drought and low water levels have prevented crossings. The canal handles about 40% of US container traffic.
More than 200 cargo ships are waiting up to three weeks to cross the Panama Canal — each crossing takes 51 million gallons of water.
This is the worst drought since the opening of the Panama Canal more than 100 years ago.
We are in a climate emergency.

There is much that is repulsive about today’s “conservatism.” But to me the willingness—nay, eagerness—to betray Ukraine could be the most repulsive feature. In its hatred for free men and women fighting bravely against brutal aggression, it betrays its descent into semi-fascism.
