Black text on a white background, which reads: "Elon believes he should be emperor of the world, and this is his way of showing people what he's capable of as emperor, a close associate of Musk's, who has worked with him for years and still speaks to him regularly, tells me. He truly believes his way of handling the world is the best possible outcome for everyone in it. In Musk's mind, this person says, everything he's done in his career to date has proven that thesis to be true- --from Tesla's electric Cars reducing emissions and accelerating the transition to sustainable energy, to Neuralink's efforts to help people with neurological disorders regain lost functions, to his belief that he single-handedly saved Twitter from collapse and turned it into a bastion of free speech, rescuing it from what he saw as the censorial grip of Jack Dorsey's leadership.

Please use Alt text on your images. You can change your settings to remind you every time. You could just copy the text you've written in notes into the alt text box, it's very easy.

Image is a white background with black text saying the following: For me there is only one contender for Person of the Year. Gisele Pelicot. The woman who has recalibrate how we think about rape by refusing to feel shame. "It's time we change the way we look at rape", she said outside the court today. And... more than anyone I can think of... she's done that. "Shame must change sides", she said, and perhaps - perhaps - that is a little more true today than it's ever been. But there's something else that I want to talk about. Something much more difficult to confront than the inspiration and dignity of Gisele Pelicot. 51 men. 51 men who are not all men... but who are also quite a lot of men. 51 of them in fact. And if you read about them... their backgrounds... their jobs... their families or lack of family... they're all quite different. A firefighter... a nurse... an unemployed alcoholic. Some were abused as children. Some had comfortable upbringings with kids of their own. 6 had domestic violence convictions. 45 didn't. One was 27. Another was 74. There's no pattern here. Nothing we can point to. Other than the fact there is no profile of a rapist. Which is perhaps the most frightening thing of all.

These 3. Lauren Graham as an audibook, love her voice. Wicked because I haven't seen it and don't know the story, so reading before I watch. And Bluebird Bluebird because my son has chosen it, so reading at the same time as him so we can talk about it.
Screenshots of 3 books: Someday, someday, maybe by Lauren Graham, Wicked by Gregory Maguire, And Bluebird Bluebird by Attica Locke.
