listening to a podcast about the Charlie Javier startup fraud which had 300,000 user but generated 4.2m more to fool a bank. They 1st asked an internal engineer who questioned and refused. They hired a 3rd party If your boss ever asks for a crime, refuse. You’ll get fucked if you try to con a bank.

The latest drone footage from Tesla's Texas "Gigafactory" has all the old familiar hits: multiple uncontrolled fluid leaks (possibly environmental violations), piles of parts staged outdoors in the elements, and an End Of Line "hospital" for especially janky Cybertrucks

Kirkus thinks you should read Women's Hotel!

"Lavery has a wonderful ear for a period turn-of-phrase and his prose glitters with humor and affection for human foibles...Readers will be hard-pressed not to read sections aloud to passersby."
