CHINA’S COLLAPSING JOB MARKET:

China’s collapsing job market just lost its ultimate safety net as the gig economy completely implodes. In a historic first, authorities in Shenzhen, the powerhouse megacity built on migrant labor, have formally declared the ride-hailing market completely saturated. An absolute… https://t.co/mNzmHRVjzA pic.twitter.com/qhr0sRjEzA

OUTSOURCED CENSORSHIP IS STILL CENSORSHIP: The government cannot launder speech suppression through private companies and call it constitutional, which is why FIRE backs the JAWBONE Act.

SECURITY & CIGARS: It’s Elon’s World Now.

Politicians worth hundreds of millions of dollars lecture him about giving his wealth to the government. Influencers demand that he feed the entire continent of Africa. It is only a matter of time before the ladies on The View condemn him again.

What these jealous critics miss, or perhaps understand but will not admit, is simple: hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people live better lives today because of what Musk has built. One clear measure of this impact came yesterday: more than 4,000 new millionaires were created by the SpaceX IPO alone.

They don’t actually care about improving people’s lives — as evidenced by their whole course of action over years — they just regard him as a threat to their power. Which, thank God, he is.

FROM M.C.A.HOGARTH: Earthrise (Her Instruments Book 1).

“The thrills are nonstop, the alien cultures and races are well developed and fascinating, and there’s just the right amount of humor to keep the whole thing fizzing.” — Analog Science Fiction and Fact

Reese Eddings has enough to do keeping her rattletrap merchant vessel, the TMS Earthrise, profitable enough to feed herself and her crew. So when a mysterious benefactor from her past shows up demanding she rescue a man from slavers, her first reaction is to run for the hills. Unfortunately, she did promise to repay the loan. But she didn’t think it would involve tangling with pirates over a space elf prince…

Book 1 of the Her Instruments trilogy is a rollicking adventure set in the expansive Pelted universe, and kicks off an epic space opera series where the fate of worlds hangs in the balance. Fans who enjoyed Firefly or Andromeda will like this series.
