    In seriousness, people keep saying this happened today, but he’s owned the same amount of SpaceX for a long time. It’s just that it became easier to estimate the value of his stake today. He was a trillionaire last month too.

    Out for a walk around a local Wildlife Trust area with ponds and river and there were loads of ox eye daisy, flocks and campion. And lovely water lilies [image: 1781236077354-20260607_120015-resized.jpg] Meanwhile my sisters garden is in full bloom with yellow scabious [image: 1781236426195-20260609_130953.jpg] A pure white peony [image: 1781236447723-20260609_130813-resized.jpg] And rampant fragrant rose with clematis [image: 1781236523498-20260609_130719.jpg]

    I just did a Google's AI search about relations between country x and country y. I thought I was reading Cold War propaganda. It was wild.

    Oh, it just occurred to me that maximum annual contribution and market volatility are not related to each other. Duh. I had to leave the USAA page alone and do something else. It's almost sunset. It's finally cooled off again. I might return to it tonight. I might wait until tomorrow.

    My grandfather kept one for upkeep on the farm ditches. He called them by an older name, "motor patrol". He would stand and watch it work. He would stop it and tell the driver what he wanted more frequently than was necessary I am sure. The water drainage district did more of that work in later years. No doubt my grandfather told them how to do it.

    The Oracle founder bought CBS, the largest private donor to the IDF in history. I already knew of him because he bought an entire Hawaiian island. He bought one of the neighbor islands. CBS is not news. And the attack on 60 Minutes was predictable.
