From Joan Didion's diary to the misadventures of Elon Musk

On April 22, Notes to John , a diary by Joan Didion, went on sale in the US. Shortly after her death in 2021, her literary administrators found the diary among papers in her New York apartment. There were 46 entries addressed to her husband, John Gregory Dunne. In 1999, Didion began keeping a diary after sessions with her psychiatrist. For a year, she recorded their conversations. She discussed her struggles with anxiety, guilt, and depression, her relationship with her daughter, and her work and legacy. We're waiting for it.

She also highlighted how ordinary citizens integrated with elites. She presented the book at the Guimaraes Museum of the Brazilian Embassy in Buenos Aires.

A 2019 meme about Elon Musk has become a statue. It stands near Starbase, operated by Musk's SpaceX in southwest Texas. It stands 3.5 meters tall and was vandalized on April 5, coinciding with nationwide protests against the Trump administration and DOGE's federal job cuts. It was a clear preview of his departure from the Trump administration.

The statue bears the inscription "Elon, aka MemeLord" and is made of foam and fiberglass. It was commissioned by ElonRWA, the "memecoin" cryptocurrency currently valued at $0.000034.
