Flare's co-founder @HugoPhilion is headed to @wave_of_innov to speak in good company. What would you want him to address while he’s there?

Dear Elon (@elonmusk, @SpaceX, @grok), My name is Brandon Titus (@TheBrandonTitus) and I’m writing this with a heavy heart and a sliver of hope, knowing it’s a longshot for you to even see it amid everything on your plate. But as the creator of Grok (who helped draft this), you know better than anyone how AI can amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. If there’s any “inside track” or way to bump this up—maybe through xAI channels or your team—I’m begging for that edge, because this is the most important request I’ve ever made. Once my dad’s gone, there’s no second chance. He’s 67, fought liver cancer for five grueling years since retiring, and now his health is fading fast. He hasn’t been the same since the July 4th floods, which wiped out everything including my family’s home and my father’s motorhome. I swam through raging waters to pull him off the roof of my tool shed. My sister relocated him to Marble Falls so she could aid with his medical care while my wife and I rebuild our house for us and 5 or our 7 children that still live at home. My father has always been rocket-obsessed, from my earliest childhood memories of him explaining launches to me and the two of us building / launching Estes Rockets of all sizes. Then you come along and single handedly saved our nations freedom of speech and seared your name in my father’s heart. You’re one of few people he’s ever held in such high regard. When you caught that first booster, he was transfixed, grinning ear-to-ear like I hadn’t seen in years. Heck, He started an X account solely to keep up with and track SpaceX milestones; it’s been his brightest light through the cancer battles. I never thought I’d see him integrate with technology. His final lap is weighing heavy on me and memories are my top priority. He has 1 desire (His only bucket list item): Seeing a launch live. Starbase in Texas would be perfect—we’re close, and I can get him there. But with no dates on the near calendar, I’d scrape together funds, I’d even take a second mortgage if needed for Florida, it’s that important. I will figure out the finances if there’s any way you could make it personal—a meet-and-greet, or even just a quick video message—it’d be priceless. His birthday is coming up on February 6. I’m not confident hell see another one. Honestly Elon, you’re building the future Dad’s always dreamed of. I would be forever grateful if you were able to help me make this memory happen. If there’s any chance this makes hits your radar, know that there couldn’t be a better man for this to happen to. His name is Michael Titus! DM, reply or anything Deepest Regards, 🤞🏻 Brandon Titus

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces. But I see everything. Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments. One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?" "6:15," he said, confused. "Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it." He blinked. "You... you can do that?" "I can now," I said. Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?" "Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing." He cried. Right there in the parking lot. Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic. But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!" "Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel." He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us." The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over." Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it. But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note, "Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends" People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket. I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece." So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones. Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees. It's not glamorous. But it's everything." Let this story reach more hearts.... Credit: Mary Nelson

This must have been how 10/10 felt for many leverage crypto traders…

$XDC vs $XLM Let's see it! 👇👀⚔️

Yesterday some said it was too easy for $XRP to win with the ❤️ slot. Others didn’t want to boost $LTC votes with a retweet. So… we’re flipping the script. Best 2 out of 3. #XRPArmy ⚔️ #Litecoiners, your move. #XRP #XRPCommunity #LTC #Litecoin

Since 2019, Texas has collected 459.6 billion dollars in property taxes, some of that likely in excess. Roughly 50% of property taxes come from school taxes. Texas is the 5th highest State on property tax rates. We were promised that would go away...has it?

This should be our #1 priority. It’s time for Texans to own their property, not perpetually rent from the government. Prop tax = slavery to gov’t.

🚨BREAKING: President Trump just called for Tina Peters RELEASE! He says there will be “HARSH MEASURES” taken if she’s not! “Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW!” We need to SHOW OUR SUPPORT! Like and share this if you want Tina Peters to be FREED!

Texas must ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES… Texas must DO IT NOW!

Recording: Zoniqx partnered with #Ripple to tokenize RWA in '24. Now, Zoniqx has integrated DIA Association's oracle feeds. #Ripple also uses DIA for their XRPL oracles.

RLUSD and Ripple’s banking license application is key to new value creation. The law suit finality is key to smoothing that process. I’m very bullish over the next 12 months.

When you start to see Ripple talking about banking licenses and stable coin creation in non-US countries it will quickly become clear how the plan comes together.

SEC Just Let XRP Go Free

Would anyone be interested in watching the evolution of a meme coin like $BAD turning into a functioning utility coin that would be used to pay for S.A.R.A.H for her AI skills and then burn 100% of the tokens that were used to pay for it thus creating both scarcity and need for the token. If you like this idea then get the word out fast...

🔥 Which crypto ETF will be approved first this year? $XRP or $LTC?

🚨Which of these will have better returns in 2025? $XCN or $JASMY?

XRP all the way...But SUI is also a great project
