remember when elomusk asked one of his rocketship employees to give him sex favors in exchange for a horse
I think this tidbit should be more famous than his exploding cars. It's all I'll ever need to know. A real human man tried and failed to barter with a flight attendant for third base by offering to buy her a horse (that's what girls like, right?)
every time I bring up the horse thing at least a few people haven't heard of it, so I think it's only fair to keep mentioning it for as long as I live

Today In History
Charles Mingus, bassist, composer, pianist, and bandleader, was born in Nogales, AZ, on this date April 22, 1922.
A major proponent of collective improvisation, he is considered to be one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers in history, with a career spanning three decades and collaborations with other jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Max Roach, and Eric Dolphy.
Mingus’ work ranged from advanced bebop and avant-garde jazz with small and midsize ensembles, to pioneering the post-bop style.

By analyzing the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, CAP found that in 2022, union households held $338,482 in median wealth. Meanwhile, nonunion households had $199,948. Being in a union also substantially chips away at racial and educational wealth gaps, per CAP's analysis. Black, nonunion households have a median household wealth of $61,500; meanwhile, Black union households hold around $164,6000 in median household wealth. Black workers are also more likely than workers of other races to be in a union, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with their union membership rates outpacing their white, Asian, and Hispanic counterparts. Unions particularly pay off for workers without a high school degree and again seem to be bridging educational wealth gaps, per the data. The median wealth of union members without a high school degree is over three times that of nonunion workers without a high school degree — $69,510 compared to $22,800 respectively.
Unions work, Unionize.
This. Encourage self advocation, don't glamorize 'the grind'. Unions really are there to help you and keep the overlords in check :)
