November 30, 2022   Good morning. 🌧️ Disgraced billionaire Leon Black, formerly the chairman of MoMA's board of trustees, is accused of raping a woman at Jeffery Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Black remains a MoMA trustee, despite the serious allegations against him. A word of caution: The details of this story are distressing. Also today, the internet is reacting to Elon Musk's disturbing "bedside table" tweet with a deluge of satirical memes, Art Basel Miami starts with an app glitch, and a California exhibition makes the case that the matriarchy never really died, just changed form. Amen to that. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor       Elon Musk's Bedside Table Tweet Opens the Meme Floodgates Whether Musk's weird still life post was an act of trolling or an act of cringe is up to you, but the memes speak for themselves. | Rhea Nayyar     SPONSORED       LATEST NEWS Left: Leon D.
