Just another example that billionaires didn’t become billionaires by being smarter than everyone else.

Of the five groups, two stand out for their prominent histories of supporting liberal causes—the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Omidyar Network Foundation.

According to the tax statement, the Omidyar Network has contributed a total of $400,000 to American Compass since 2020. (In reality, Omidyar has donated $500,000, including forthcoming installments.) The Hewlett Foundation—a longtime supporter of National Public Radio—has accounted for more than one-third of American Compass’ total public support, giving a combined $1,486,000 over the same period, with an extra $475,000 dose this January.

That’s more than Hewlett gave to NPR or the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the same timeframe.

Damn, if only Capitol police had been this determined to shut down the January 6th coup.

 

Is anyone playing Harry Potter: Magic Awakened? I’m not far enough into it to have any real opinions of the gameplay but the visuals are outstanding! I love the art style and I would love to see some new HP animated movies take this approach.
