I had just assumed every one of his fans knew Trump was in the files but didn't care, because that's how it always goes with him. Like, somehow, I thought this accusation had been officially and publically confirmed years ago to about five minutes of outrage before the media moved on and the MAGAs ignored it so was surprised when Musk chucked the accusation like a news bomb. Are they responding like that? Or are they saying he isn't? Or what? Anyway I hope both these very terrible men lose <3

I have figured out I can increase storage capacity by cooking more stuff. Unfortunately the stuff I have will likely result in 'even more chilli', but my thinking is that if I *decide* to make more chilli I will go full circle and make a sensible amount of soup.

Went into the kitchen last night with a solid plan to make a roasted vegetable soup and left having done none of the steps in any semblance of an order resulting in a nonetheless very good chilli in quantities far exceeding my current storage capacity.

Technically a success. I'll take the win. I just don't know how it happened.

Humanity isn’t going to change trajectory on destroying the environment.

“At least a quarter of the billionaires registered as delegates at Cop28 made their fortunes from highly polluting industries such as petrochemicals, mining and beef production, a new analysis has shown.
The findings, revealed to the Guardian in an exclusive analysis of the 34 billionaires who are signed up to the UN summit, raise concerns about the influence wielded by ultra-rich, mega-emitters on the world’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis. Together the 34 are worth about $495.5bn.
The high number of billionaires at the conference, along with the many private jets they flew in on, suggests Cop may now be second only to Davos as a gathering point for the world’s ultra-rich, who can meet and potentially influence government leaders and senior politicians and bureaucrats, while making deals with other business owners.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/12/one-in-four-billionaire-cop28-delegates-made-fortunes-from-polluting-industries

Mobility aids need to be treated as extensions of the user. Damaging a chair should be considered as serious as directly injuring a person with similar compensation and repercussions, and I reckon if airlines understood that breaking a chair *is disabling a person* and made to pay as such they'd be a LOT more careful with them.

Experience of another passenger:
"While wheelchairs are covered by (international, rather than EU) provisions on compensation for battered luggage, there is an upper limit of €1,500, which is often not enough to cover the cost of a damaged wheelchair, EDF said.

In Holst’s case, the damage was €15,000."

Wheelchairs aren't just interchangeable with each other, they're often specially adapted at great expense. Without incentives to treat them with the utmost care, this shit will keep happening.

This is the equivalent of an airline insisting a passenger saw off their legs to reduce fuel consumption.
This man's wheelchair eventually arrived at his destination damaged, leaving him stuck at home until he could get it fixed. If a member of crew had broken both a walking passenger's legs there'd be hell to pay and heavy compensation, yet wheelchair users are being left to front the costs of damage themselves.
If an airline disables someone (as they did here), the airline should pay up.

Reading articles on disability, discrimination and travel is always enraging.

“My personal assistant checked more than three times with airport staff and cabin crew whether my wheelchair has been loaded successfully,” he explained, saying that staff confirmed his chair was on board...“I insisted on talking with the captain to clarify how [that could] happen, and he told me he was commanded to take off without my wheelchair in order to avoid a 15-minute delay”
Disabled passengers push for EU to reform ‘nightmare’ air travel

Travelers complain that EU rules aren’t well-suited to dealing with the challenges of disabled people.
