MacKenzie Scott, worth $41.1 billion, is on a philanthropic tear and has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.
Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.
Just. Tax. Them.
The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.
They voted for Trump - they’ll believe any old nonsense and buy anything

Tax the corporations, tax the billionaires in every country!

That’ll be about the time I wake up in the middle of the night… so thank you @keithdunn.bsky.social night everyone it’s been a ball 😁
A runner has to begin loop 4 by the 36 hour mark in order to continue. Neither Damian nor Sébastien will finish loop 3 in time to begin loop 4; however, if they complete loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. #BM100
Way past my bedtime but here I am with you on that…
Love this! Superb
Definitely feel this was a technique fail. More methods need to be tried…there is time

A man's suit lapel with two pins on it. One is the DOJ seal, the other is in the shape of a thumbs-up and says "Trump" on it.
A billionaire known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was under indictment for massive criminal tax fraud and very likely going to prison.
Then, he hired a “Friend of Trump” and the criminal charges disappeared.
How did they do it? Avi Asher-Schapiro and I spent months getting the inside story.

That is horrific! 😢
US construction job growth has ground to a practical halt over the last year, with the country losing jobs in homebuilding as the number of units under construction declines, while nonresidential job growth slowed significantly
I once saw a drunk Scotsman windmill a traffic cone into his own face and knock himself over so I’d say there’s a good chance you could

Late post today but completed my second #parkrun of the year. Was so busy at Heaton parkrun I jumped on to help with scanning and I didn’t even finish sub 30. Forgot to get photos of the runners so here is a photos of how cold it was on the lake.
First volunteer credit and parkrun completed in 2026! #parkrun
Brilliant #parkrun this morning. Nice easy run in the cold and then back to cheer on one of our best at Prestwich Plodders completing her 200th parkrun and returning to Heaton parkrun after a serious bike accident. Well done Sandra!! You are a machine!👏👏👏
RIP Mani
What a bass player.

Brilliant weekend of running. My twin, all the way over from Brisbane to complete her 50th #parkrun and then she joined me at Conwy half marathon my final race of the year where I got 3 medals for the races done. Conwy half; scouse Welsh double and the 4 Castles series. Loved all of them.
Another Plodders takeover at Heaton parkrun for a busy one. Over 900 runners this morning. If you’ve not volunteered yet sign up, it’s a lot of fun to give back. #parkrun
