The beef industry knew about the harms of beef production on climate change as early as 1989 and worked to obfuscate the science.

I personally prefer smaller events with little to no corporate representation.
San Francisco Pride will lose at least $300,000 in sponsorships from major companies, with NYC Pride experiencing similar challenges.

Tesla stock is in a nosedive
SpaceX keeps blowing up rockets
And now, as Europe considers alternatives to Starlink, Elon Musk insults the Polish Foreign Minister
It'll be interesting to see if the Tesla or SpaceX Boards of Directors take any action before Musk totally destroys these companies

I don’t think either of them is trying to be popular. Autocrats don’t care about polls.
Will this matter to Trump who can’t run again (that is, if the Constitution survives)?
Elon Musk is cratering in polls:
WaPo: Only 34% approve of Musk's role, 63% worry about his data access
CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role
Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup.
On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social is great on all this:

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.
And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.
Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.
