The Borowitz Report (12/20): “A nationwide search has begun to locate anyone who voted for Elon Musk. The leader of the manhunt said searchers had yet to turn up a single Musk voter, which he thought odd given that Mr. Musk is the most powerful person in the U.S. government.”

Still okay to love and enjoy physics, it's just that almost all of these billionaires are barely engineers. And they're certainly not evolutionary biologists, who they would look down upon as "soft"; or worse, a social scientist.
Capitalism has nothing to do with the laws of nature.

The first snowflakes of the season are beginning to fall on Long Island. The snowfall is supposed to get heavier and last until this evening, so let’s see how much we get.
I’ll post a pic later if the snow accumulation is impressive enough, lol. It would be nice to have a white Christmas! ❄️🎅🏼

The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

Rand Paul had been in the Senate since 2011. He is the nepo baby of Ron Paul who served 12-terms in Congress and ran for President 3 times. He’s literally the “swamp” like few others. The self awareness of an amoeba.

We should all have the backs of Amazon and Starbucks workers who are on strike this holiday season. They deserve better pay, hours, working conditions, and union recognition. Their greedy bosses should stop being Grinches, and grow hearts.
