    Melania Trump's auction items fail to bring desired price
    https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/26/politics/melania-trump-auction/index.html
    The lot of three items put up for auction earlier this month by former first lady Melania Trump failed to reach its desired monetary threshold of $250,000 for an opening bid. When the auction for the three items -- a custom, wide-brimmed white hat worn by Trump during an official White House state visit, a watercolor of Trump wearing the hat and a non-fungible token (NFT) of the illustration with animation -- ended Wednesday night, there appeared to only have been five total bids on the auction items, each around the minimum requirement of 1,800 Solana tokens, the cryptocurrency selected by Trump as the only way for interested buyers to pay. While the minimum requirement of Solana tickets was met, the $250,000 threshold wasn't met because over the last two weeks, almost the entirety of the auction, the crypto market has taken a massive dive, with values of various currencies falling 20, 30 or even 40%, as was the case with Solana (SOL.)

    Earth's tallest mountain has been ascended for the first time
    https://www.sfgate.com/hawaii/article/Men-climb-Earths-tallest-mountain-16784886.php
    For the first time in history, the tallest mountain on Earth has been ascended. Though Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth at 29,032 feet above sea level, Maunakea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii actually holds the title of tallest mountain on Earth at 33,500 feet. More than half (19,698 feet) of Maunakea lies underwater, while 13,802 feet is above sea level. Mountain climber and underwater explorer Victor Vescovo teamed up with Native Hawaiian scientist Cliff Kapono to scale Maunakea Volcano from its base at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to its peak.

    Contesting the Right-Wing Power Grab • Protean Magazine
    https://proteanmag.com/2022/01/26/contesting-the-right-wing-power-grab/
    Election integrity is continually eroding as Republicans lock in systematic disenfranchisement, unimpeded by corrupt and ineffectual corporate Democrats. Only labor mobilization can rise to the scale of the threat.

    Dave Chappelle and “the Black Ass Lie” That Keeps Us Down
    https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/01/dave-chappelle-and-the-black-ass-lie-that-keeps-us-down
    It is hard for me, as a woman in her 30s, to think about the reactions I saw adult Black men, and women, have to the Kelly tape back then and for many years after. To me, it seems that the bit and the positive reception to it spoke volumes about the inability of Chappelle, and most people, to have empathy for Black girls and women. We wouldn’t laugh—side by side with white folks—about any of the instances of Black men or boys being harmed by state violence. How could Black women be asked to laugh at rape jokes alongside, essentially, the same folks who’d be allowed to rape us with impunity? It’s “the Black ass lie.”
