This is what oligarchy looks like:
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.
Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

When the fine art of nature goes south... Sometimes you have to lose those trappings of delicate grace and wonder and just let loose and be yourself. A little levity for your Friday, and wishing you all a great weekend!

2025 Book #113 - Remain by Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan. Fresh out of a psychiatric hospital an architect begins forming a relationship with the deceased resident of the house he's staying in. This is a sweet, if kind of bland, story and I liked the romance. 3/5.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?
