As I sit comfortably, safely, with a coffee in hand, I wonder when we will say enough with the acceptance of lies, unsubstantiated accusations, anti science, and pro war stance of a large minority of our US citizenry and cowardly politicians.

I'd prefer Teslas board removing Elon from his position which they could do. I prefer to advance EVs and at the moment Teslas are the best. Though that will soon change if Elon prefers to be a politician over an innovator.

# Buddhism # 5 aggregates
I'm looking for a book that describes the five aggregates clearly , rather than just listing them ( haven't found on Amazon ) any suggestions would be appreciated.

I so wish Elon Musk would return to Tesla in a meaningful way. He's a great CEO when fully engaged . A terrible and IMO , self destructive politician.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.
But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.
A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Understanding that this is not X, I would like to vainly message Elon to say I've just sat in a BYD Sealion 7. It's far more comfortable than my M3 and cheaper. Please return to Tesla, and away from serious politics. You will accomplish little with DT, and stay ahead of your commercial rivals.

Just finished serving ( first time) a 10 day Goenka Vipassana Retreat. It was definitely lots of work, very much worth it, and quite fun.
