Elon Musk told bankers they wouldn’t lose any money on Twitter purchase

Lenders unlikely to get even 60 cents on the dollar for the bonds and loans.

I’m starting to think “lenders” suddenly aren’t very good at their jobs when a rich man walks in.

Tell me a good book you’ve read this year that you’d recommend.

I’ll start: Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom

Did you all catch this morsel about how Trump valued his properties?

Trump "also seems to
imply that the numbers cannot be inflated because he could find a 'buyer from Saudi Arabia' to pay any price he suggests."

(His fans will continue to love him)

@Teri_Kanefield We made a known NY mobster with international mob ties our president. I'll never get over that.

Seeing their attempts at indoctrination fail to take hold the indoctrinated can only imagine they have been stymied by some equal and opposite form of indoctrination. That we might be sincere about creating the space for each young person to find their own way, to make up their own mind is impossible from their perspective.

That we wait on the outcomes of experiments and study to determine what is best? Just a lie.

@futurebird Adult child of spankings here and I concur! I've raised 3 kids without spankings and they all turned out great and are successful young adults. There was nothing a spanking ever did for me besides make me feel scared and unloved. Spanking humiliates children. It makes them feel vulnerable to adult anger.

Spanking is abuse perpetrated on a smaller, weaker person by a bigger, stronger person who has lost control of themself and run out of better ideas to modify a child's behavior.

Can't lie. I loved seeing those f*ckers in Alabama get their asses handed to them by the Black men and women who showed up to defend the dock worker. I can only imagine how sick and tired of racist assholes Black Americans must feel at this point. They've been supremely calm in the face of so much hate, but perhaps they're hitting their tolerance walls. I mean, a Black man jumped in the river and swam to defend the guy. That's a high level of 'pissed off and not willing to take it any more.'

This is an issue that I would love to see fixed, so when on mobile I could click an X or swipe and remove the alt text view. Long descriptions obliterate the image they’re meant to describe. I can read the cartoon description, but I can’t really see it.

To be clear, I add alt text routinely. This isn’t a complaint about alt text, just how it renders on a smaller mobile screen.

For those of you looking for straight up #nature #photography. How about this shot taken from my deck? This was shot during a severe 2020 summer of wildfires. This was mid-afternoon.
