Luigi Pirandello did this as well, he was awarded the Nobel in Literature in 1934 and in 1935 had the gold melted for Mussolini as part of the fascist “gold to the fatherland” campaign.
Knut Hamsun, a Norwegian writer, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920.
In 1943, he sent Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister) his Nobel Prize medal as a gift.

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

talking to a guy who works on Grok the other day and apparently the problem is that the OFF switch is really high. “You’d have to be seven feet tall to reach it.” I asked why not stand on a chair but apparently the chairs are kinda heavy and anyway there’s a whole thing about scratching the floor.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

Something which I'm finding very difficult to sort out for myself: hunting tiny baby fox pups feels wrong. Yet opposition to fox hunting feels woke. Pronouns. I suppose there's nothing to do but go on as I always have.
