BREAK-UP BACKWASH. Elizabeth Warren took big tech money while railing against it: ‘The Massachusetts Democrat, who is powering her presidential campaign with a bold proposal to break up the likes of Amazon, Google and Facebook, in September accepted a $2,700 contribution from Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer. But Sandberg, whose donation went unnoticed at the time, was just the biggest name from Silicon Valley to give to the senator: Warren took at least $90,000 from employees of Amazon, Google and Facebook alone between 2011 and 2018.’

MACRO BUG OF THE DAY. Hoverfly: “This colorful Hoverfly from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador is Ornidia obesa, Syrphidae on a Mexican sunflower, Tithonia diversifolia, Asteraceae.
