IĀ thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Darrell Britt-Gibson, who plays Bishop in #Euphoria, says Colman Domingoās comments to Variety about whether Bishop is on the autism spectrum resonated with him:
"I donāt think Black people get to play that enough. I donāt like the way that people who are on the spectrum are spoken about. There are a lot of people in my life and my family who are on the spectrum, and they are the most beautiful, deep, soulful people. I thought, 'If I get to do this and play him like that, I want to be able to do it justice and make it thoughtful and layered.' That was something I inherently thought about. I wanted to give it that care."

I donāt think how many Americans realize they will literally DIE next year... Without the forced govt shutdown, MILLIONS will lose healthcare / have insurance $ *double* come January. Nobody is talking about why the shutdown is happening. Itās cuz of this.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governanceĀ
However, they are weaker than they look, and it is important that we remember that because what they rely on is the impression of power, the perception of inevitability in us giving up in advance
Donald Trump is at record levels of unpopularity in his tenure. The Republican house is at record levels of unpopularity. They are underwater across the board and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this, they want us to blink first and we have too much to save.
