What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Apparently Elon Musk doesn't understand that cultures influence each other and evolve, and always have. rather he has implied that cultural identity should be some sort of make believe homeostatic Cuckoo land.  

Though of course I doubt he thinks his greedy racist land stealing ancestors, should have fucking stayed out of South Africa. 

Today's lesson children, is about the cognitive dissonance of rank racist hypocrisy.

He could have lectured the Italians on the many different cultures they ravaged and destroyed, but he's an odious populist like his Oompa Loompa pal...

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has a cat ranch.

In Nevada?

 Scary how in parallel our minds run.

Turns out that, even with both Jodi Hildebrandt and Ruby Franke in jail, their ConneXions program is still convincing parents to abuse their children:

My old Delonghi coffee grinder still works and the coarseness setting works better than I remember. I think I was mistakenly remembering the Krupps grinder I had before that.

What a fatberg is:

a rock-like mass of waste matter in a sewer system formed by the combination of flushed non-biodegradable solids (such as wet wipes) with fat, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits

Scroll to the bottom and you'll find 'Notable Fatbergs", example:

September 2017: A 250-metre-long (820 ft) fatberg weighing over 130 tonnes (140 short tons) was found under Whitechapel, London. Even working seven days a week at a cost of £1 million per month, officials estimated it would take two months to destroy it. Two pieces of the fatberg were cut off on 4 October 2017 and, after several weeks of drying, were displayed at the Museum of London from 9 February 2018 through June 2018, as part of the museum's City Now City Future season. According to curator Vyki Sparkes, the fatberg became one of the museum's most popular exhibits.

Huh. I knew what a fatberg was, I just didn’t know they could be a museum piece.

Evidently, Wikipedia's article on the 27 Club is getting extremely cluttered. My understanding is that the club's membership is supposed to be limited to musicians, maybe other artists who died at the age of 27. So why the fuck are footballers, Castro's #2 guy, reality show contestants, and a motherfucking King of Iraq on there?
