“Baby duck reunited with siblings”

Tesla’s founder Elon Musk wiped $14bn off its value after tweeting its share price was too high in his opinion.

The tweet also knocked $3bn off Mr Musk’s own stake in Tesla as investors promptly bailed out of the company.

“Tesla stock price is too high imo,” he said, one of several tweets that included a vow to sell his possessions.

Basically what that means is he had a bunch of stock, sold it at the high price, tweeted this shit, prices dropped, and he rebought his stock back at the low price. When prices increase again, he can do the same shit all over again.

Executives do this all the time. Not necessarily through tweets, but if they have insider information that the stock’s about to drop, they’ll do this. Tell everyone who has shares (usually employees) not to sell because the price will go up, secretly sell all of yours over the weekend, and then on Monday, crash the stock, and buy again at the low price while all your employees lose the entire value.

This wasn’t Elon Musk fucking around and being an idiot. This was the calculated move of an executive looking to make more cash and score a slightly higher score of riches.

HOW

THE

FUCK

The USPS is in trouble, and a bailout has been rejected by the White House. This comes on the heels of a movement to conduct the 2020 Presidential election by mail-in vote due to COVID-19 restrictions. Allowing the Postal Service to go under is unconstitutional. People rely on the mail for many reasons, including delivery of medication and other essentials. Not to mention the number of jobs that will be lost as well. If we don’t act, postal services will become privatized and costs will go up.

If you live in America and have the means, please go BUY STAMPS at USPS.com. If everyone buys at least one sheet, we can help keep the U.S. Postal Service from collapsing. I bought a sheet of stamps for as low as $6, and they have many different designs.

Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!

Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.

I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.

Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.
