Interesting to watch Musk spin his newly released correspondence with Epstein.
What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.

You’re not imagining things—the plums that were in your icebox are *completely gone*. Here’s why that’s bad news:
• They were *your plums*, that you were saving for breakfast. That makes this personal for you.
• They were *sweet*, so whoever ate them *enjoyed* them. That’s unforgivable.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

this was @rorystolzenberg.bsky.social's final meeting as a planning commissioner. appropriately, it was a work session on the capital improvement program, an important thing that hardly anybody pays attention to.

this isn't a great bike. it probably isn't even a good bike. but it's UL certified and sold by a brick and mortar retailer (it's walmart's house brand), which is pretty good for $300. probably worth a look for a commuter on a tight budget: www.walmart.com/ip/Concord-L...
