This is an exclusive story from Rolling Stone, but I think you have to have a subscription or access through Apple News or someplace else.  Anyway, it's a very interesting and disturbing story that should scare all of us.

            Did you know David Gilmour once sold his Β£3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof."
No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity.

            People who say βit wonβt matterβ, or βnothing ever changesβ, or βthereβs nothing I can doβ are just looking for an excuse to do nothing. 
Donβt be one of those people. 
Do something small every day. It might seem insignificant, but it adds up, especially when millions of us are doing small things.

            Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Greenpeace is accused of defamation and supporting protestors who damaged the pipeline

                Trump orders swathes of US forests to be cut down for timber
                Presidentβs move to expand tree cutting across 280m acres evades rules to protect endangered species
            
        
    
    
            Today, I took several breaks from genealogy projects to read some news.  It gets worse every time I look, and I've only read The Guardian!  Someone get the crayons out and draw pictures to explain to the idiot-in-chief why trees are important for sustaining life!

            Combover Caligula emboldens oppressive governments.  It's the MAGA cult that loves the idea of squashing civil and human rights so much they're legislating it and proudly speaking their hate of anyone not white, straight, or Christian out loud.

                The slur is rooted in the dehumanization of people with intellectual disabilities. Its resurgence threatens the fragile progress weβve made
            
        
    
    
            If I had used this slur as a kid, my mother would have grounded me for years.
Eugenics is something I suspect Musk is doing in his Frankenstein labs using his sperm.  He has another kid to add to the one born about 5 months ago.  14 now.
