BREAKING: The average American is now closer to Jeff Bezos in net worth than Jeff Bezos is to Elon Musk, per MW

The typical American household has a median net worth of roughly $192,900. Elon Musk’s fortune sits at approximately $1.2 Trillion, while Jeff Bezos has a net worth of about $247 Billion. The distance between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk is a staggering $953 Billion, whereas the distance between the typical American and Jeff Bezos is roughly $246.8 Million.

Foreign aid is a cornerstone of poltical influence btw.

Dismantling US Aid just made China stronger. But keep winning.

I think we just definitively discovered what Trump's exact approval floor is

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

50 light-years from here is a dead star made mostly of diamond. Two-thirds the size of Earth. As heavy as the Sun. The biggest diamond ever found on our planet was 3,100 carats. This one is 10 billion trillion trillion carats.

Diamonds are absurdly common in space. Wood is the cosmic miracle.

Carbon is the 4th most common element in the universe, after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Squeeze it hard enough and it turns into diamond. Inside Neptune and Uranus, the pressure is so extreme that methane in their atmospheres comes apart, and the carbon falls as diamond rain. Some of these diamonds could grow up to a meter wide. Lab experiments confirmed it in 2017, and a 2024 follow-up showed it can happen on smaller, Neptune-like planets too. Those are among the most common types of planet astronomers find outside our solar system.

Take PSR J1719-1438 b. A planet 4,000 light-years from here, twice as dense as lead. As heavy as Jupiter, but less than half its size. Probably mostly crystalline carbon. A diamond planet, orbiting a tiny dead star that spins 10,000 times a minute.

And nanodiamonds are everywhere, even in meteorites that land on Earth. They make up about 3% of the carbon in those rocks.

Wood is harder. It needs lignin, a natural compound that turns soft plant tissue into hard wood. Lignin first appeared on Earth about 385 million years ago. Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Trees have only existed for 8.5% of our planet's history.

For tens of millions of years after lignin appeared, plant matter built up in Earth's swamps faster than it could fully break down. Most of the coal humans have ever burned was once those plants.

Wood needs everything: water, photosynthesis, an oxygen atmosphere, complex life, plants with veins, and finally the chemistry to build lignin. Diamonds need just two things: carbon and pressure.

So far, every place we have looked in the universe has carbon and pressure. Only one place we know of has trees.

Can you imagine America doing something this cool

@SydneyLWatson @Billc1241 Yeah no it's brown people and not the fact that it's a for-profit system ran by the greediest and most immoral mother fuckers on the planet. Your bf is an idiot

@ReallyJeffEvans @JonAguiar @MeltedMindz @unusual_whales Thank you for this piece of info. Was always curious if there was a 'law' about the stupidity of trying to say sarcastic things over text without any nuance

BREAKING: Traders placed a series of bets worth $430 million on a drop in crude prices just 15 minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump ​said he would extend a ceasefire with Iran.

It is the third ‌time this month, and the fourth in total, that large, well-timed directional bets on the oil price have been made shortly before major announcements on the Iran war.

The traders gained millions.

Unusual.

[gino.eth 💽 @GinoTheGhost]

$55 billion dollars later and we’re back at square one. Except Iran is $20+ billion dollars richer, our economy is cooked, weapons stockpile is depleted, most bases in the middle east are gone, and our allies hate us. Oh and a lot of innocent dead people.

Masterful gambit, sir!

On Monday the Trump admin will launch the tariff refund system for the $166 billion in tariffs they illegally collected.

And all of that money will go to companies.

56,497 ​importers are set to get refunds so far, with no requirement they pass that money along to customers.
