These are dark times for Elon Musk's much-vaunted Tesla Cybertruck. Musk once claimed it might sell 250,000 per year, despite its steep sticker price. So far in 2025, he's on track to sell less than half as many as he did in 2024. Source: ForbesTesla’s stock has slid steadily this year, hurt by declining sales and widespread protests over CEO Elon Musk’s leadership of President Trump’s DOGE initiative, which is making haphazard staffing and budget cuts to federal agencies.

With Donald Trump about to plunge the entire world into economic chaos this week, it took a carefully-launched plan from Canada's Prime Minister to get Trump to at least pause most of his madness. So how did he do it? Well, hitting hard on the United States' Achilles Heel, the U.S. debt. Carney didn't do it alone, of course, but he's the one, not the Chinese as I'd originally thought, who co-ordinated with EU countries and Japan to force Trump to capitulate.

When JD Vance went to Greenland last month and made a horse's ass of himself and the United States with derogatory comments about Greenland and Denmark, and repeating Trump's threats to take Greenland, the head of the US military base was just as offended as everyone else and perhaps ill-advisedly made her thoughts public, distancing herself and the base from Trump's Vice-President, saying his comments were "not reflective of Pituffik Space Base." For that, she was canned.

Source: Dean Blundell SubstackThere’s a new dress code in Trump’s Washington, and it’s straight out of a dictator’s playbook.

A friend told me to check these kids out as they'd just released a new cover. I was impressed by their earlier version of Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" released about six months ago, so when I heard they'd done a Deep Purple cover I was expecting "Smoke on the Water," a song everyone seems to learn when they start out playing.
