I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets.
If your plan for saving humanity doesnโt include the people already on earth, youโre just a racist piece of shit.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

โOtago has a calmness, a coldness, almost a classical geological
order. [...] Perhaps this landscape was of the time before Jesus. I saw an
angel in this land. Angels can herald beginnings.โ

In 1927, Janet Frame's family moved to Glenham, and as their railway house was not ready they lived in 3 huts, spending their first winter there - one of the coldest ever recorded in Southland. The family later moved to Edendale and on to Wyndham were they settled from 1928-1931
