So much money. It wasn't for nothing.

In 2022 Jared Kushner’s private equity firm, Affinity Partners, received a $2 billion investment from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, months after Kushner left the White House.

It's concerning that this is the first I've heard of this major move.

I figure the economy is bleeding out. There's so much money funneled to the top and not back into the economy. These corporations have sunk over a trillion dollars into AI and it's not making money. Plus, a lot of capital is fleeing the US, for a lot of reasons.

Tbf, that is a weird ass mascot.

I read Tatham Mound when I was 12, and it kind of blew my mind. I wouldn't say it was appropriate at that age, but I also don't think it did any harm. The violence was explicit, and there were numerous sex scenes, but they were placed in a cultural context.

I was expecting the final edit to be an explanation on how it's now changed into Minotaur smut due to the full throated fandom.

Elon Musk’s largest single political donation effort was over US$277 million to support Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign via his political action committee. Prior to that, his philanthropic focus through the Musk Foundation heavily favored AI research (OpenAI), education (Ad Astra/Astra Nova), and various causes often tied to himself. 🤮
