Because you're famous, obviously.

Feels like The Onion.

Failure must be an option in any innovative environment. This doesn’t mean that failure should be the goal, but rather that it should be accepted as a possible outcome.

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

Worse ways to spend the last day of the year.

I found a bottle of Cab Sav that was opened a while ago. Good to go? Yup.

Sir…this is a Wendy’s

NPR is cooked.

This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid. 60 health workers and 25 patients in critical condition, including those on ventilators, reportedly remain in the hospital. The patients in moderate to severe condition were forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functional Indonesian Hospital. @WHO is deeply concerned for their safety. This raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital comes after escalating restrictions on access for WHO and partners, and repeated attacks on or near the facility since early October. Such hostilities and the raids are undoing all our efforts and support to keep the facility minimal functional. The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care. This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

Writing this out didn't help the death anxiety either, funny enough.

CW: Death

I had a nap today, so sleep is not happening soon.

Laying in bed in the dark is not the answer. I start thinking about what being dead will be like. I realise that's silly, because you're dead. You don't exist any more. But tell my brain that.

But there is in fact someone who cares more about Musk’s Wikipedia page than even his most diehard fanboy—Elon Musk himself. All signs indicate that the world’s richest man is obsessed with how he is described on the free internet encyclopedia. Back in December 2019, Musk tweeted, “Just looked at my wiki for 1st time in years. It’s insane! Btw, can someone please delete ‘investor’. I do basically zero investing.” In a follow-up tweet, Musk suggested that his Wikipedia page should focus on his leadership of Tesla and SpaceX rather than his investing activity.

Although it’s notoriously hard to read Musk’s mind, his tweets indicate that he would prefer that Wikipedia name him as a “founder” of Tesla because of his relatively early contributions to the company and popular associations with the EV brand. But notice how, once again, Musk is asking Wikipedia editors to set aside years of third-party reporting that documents how Musk purchased shares to become Tesla’s majority shareholder and was not one of the individuals involved since Tesla’s scrappy beginnings. Thankfully, Musk cannot decree what information about him should appear on Wikipedia, nor can he mandate that Wikipedia use his preferred nomenclature.

in case you weren't familiar with why elon musk has a longstanding grudge against Wikipedia

he hates what he cannot control

If you read this and your first thought isn’t to destroy the LNP then I’m afraid we can’t be friends #auspol

Working their way through their cruel fashy list

Led by greedy Gina, Murdick, Forrest, MSM

Watching #730 and👇👇👇

The 3mil is just the public advertising ‘value’. All the other stuff is expensive too. A first I think. Proud. Watch out for all the cinema adverts across the school holidays. ;)

Ok Steven. Take your meds and lie down.

Living 30 minutes away, I would suggest not a lot of overs.

It's about to piss down, so not much.

Why are we waiting? #AUSvIND

5 now. Declare already

Sounds like it

Australia’s Voice senator Fatima Payman has accused political leaders of a “double standard” after an Islamic college school bus was set on fire in Adelaide

“There’s no outrage, there’s no pledges of support…why the double standard?”

“Not all hate is treated equally”

The NSW Council for Civil Liberties says is ‘alarmed’ by the Minns state government considering criminalising protests outside of religious institutions

They say “any laws […] would unduly silence freedom of speech” and “would cause more division”
