Elon, you are a vain asshole bully. Any positive qualities or accomplishments are subsumed by your lack of character. And your lack of character will define your legacy.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.
The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.
This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .
You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.
Going to have to learn some new tools.

A Swedish TV host @ElafAli__ made the most disgusting "joke" about Ukrainian refugee women, saying that because we're blonde and blue-eyed, our presence in her country (which is obviously not hers, according to her name) isn't obvious, apart from brothels. @svt standards?
@ElafAli__ , I see that you're a great expert in brothels, you've perhaps worked there long enough to know better. I never heard about your existence before you dared to crack that bloody joke about our women, and hope to never hear it again. I hope that @svt fires you soon.

Powerful reminder that we simply cannot trust Big Tech.
A must read.

Not only is there nothing wrong with guiding regeneration of ecosystems, it is essential for brittle ecosystems or they will never regenerate. Desertifying ecosystems continue the progression to desert without managed guidance.
Ecological theory and experience tells us that just leaving a heavily degraded ecosystem to natural processes means we will be waiting a long time for nature recovery
There is nothing wrong with interventions to set these systems on a path of recovery science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Donald Trump publicly asked the Chinese Communist Party to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, then privately repeated his request at a dinner with Xi Jinping. Forget criminal consequences—that betrayal of America and attempted election fraud wasn’t even *investigated*.

Hunter Biden isn’t an elected official. His crimes are meaningless—at a level of cultural significance equivalent to those of Roger Clinton. What *Trump and men in his government and campaign did* was criminal, historically relevant, and largely (yes, really) went uninvestigated.

Russia has taken another hostage. This time it’s a nuclear plant that, if executed, has the possibility of affecting millions of lives, including NATO citizens. This is why designating Russia a State Sponsor of Terror is a mild step towards countering malign influence.
Russia has mined the cooler of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
Fallout could extend to Belarus, Moldova and Turkey if Russia detonates it
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The news is neither verifiable nor verified by independent sources, and is based only on statements by Ukrainian authorities.

Many conservatives see Hunter Biden as reflecting badly on President Biden. I don't see that. The president did nothing wrong, and he has shown his love and support for a son wrestling with addictions and their consequences. Millions of Americans can identify with that pain.
