And the way I read this.... When Twitter goes bankrupt (and it will), the banks, as creditors, will have bought it for $13b, a $31b discount on what Musk and his foolish friends and fellow shareholders paid for it. $13b is about the right price...or was.

'We will find you:' Russians hunt down Ukrainians on lists

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Three days after the first Russian bombs struck Ukraine, Andrii Kuprash, the head of a village north of Kyiv, walked into a forest near his home and began to dig. He didn’t stop until he had carved out a shallow pit, big enough for a man like him.

I can’t stop thinking about the Afghan girls Robotic team knows as Afghan Dreamers. The girls with minimal resources were able to design and build low cost ventilators and their expertise were used during Covid crisis. Roya, a member of Afghan dreamers was ranked among Time’s 100 most influential people for her work in building internet classrooms in Afghan high schools.
