Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

It's incredibly important to note here, with all the GM/Ford press bluster obfuscation with nothing-burgers, that it's not "China's 2.2 MW chargers, it's *Geely* who owns Geely/Zeekr/Link&Co/*VOLVO*/Polestar. And it was *BYD* who launched 1.5 MW chargers a few months ago. GM & Ford have no future.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

Routine reports sometimes show the sheer horror of what it was like working in South Africa's gold mines in the recent past. Here, miners were coming up a shaft after finishing a shift when a dead body hit their cage with enough force to bend the metal doors.
Excerpt from a  type-written historical report.
Text reads: "(c) A boy had apparently fallen down the shaft from the
surface, lodging on a divider. His body was struck by
another cage, causing the doors to be bent.

Casualties: 1 Native killed.

Finding: Misadventure (no contravention).

Classification: 2.2 (fatal)."

It does not seem very coincidental to me that all of the people so dutifully devoted to Biden's policy record on Israel-Palestine are also so averse to saying whether or not they think the next president should do anything differently. But it is funny since they almost all concede Israel is evil.

Israeli media, citing security officials, said the incident on Wednesday stemmed from a feud between the plane’s two pilots, and everyone onboard was safe.
