When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you", She shattered the narrative that it was an "officer created jeopardy" - there's no anticipation of danger from a calm peaceful driver and a stationary car. Then she attacked from under the white flag.

I don’t understand all these multi-layered theories about whether Ukraine should hand over the Donbas to Russia, whether it should keep fighting, or whether it would be better to accept Putin’s terms now or later. What makes you think Ukraine actually has a real choice? Who told you that ‘agreeing to Putin’s terms’ = getting a ‘long-term and stable peace’ -- even at the cost of colossal humiliation and unfair, absurd concessions forced on Ukraine under pressure from the Kremlin’s useful idiots in the White House? What makes you think that after Ukraine theoretically gives up its last strongholds in the Donbas, massively weakens its defenses and armed forces, abandons Western military aid and long-range weapons, and is left with fake ‘security guarantees’ that no Western country would ever go to war over -- Putin will simply stop, leave Ukraine alone forever, and not once again invent some arbitrary propaganda pretext, rebuild his strength, and launch a new offensive from a far more favorable position to finish off Ukraine completely? What makes you think this latest fuss is a path to real peace and an end to the war, rather than a political way to achieve through Trump what Russia hasn’t been able to accomplish against Ukraine on the battlefield for four years? Who even told you this would be ‘peace’? Putin? Witkoff? Trump? Kirill Dmitriev? Come back down to earth. If only thing were that simple -- that you hand over the battered Donbas, freeze the front line, promise not to join NATO, which is half-dead anyway, and voilà, everything is settled and you get peace and calm.

"Elon Musk is not an engineer." John Carmack: Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at SpaceX and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so. Robert Zubrin: When I met Elon it was apparent to me that although he had a scientific mind and he understood scientific principles, he did not know anything about rockets. Nothing. That was in 2001, by 2007 he knew everything about rockets – he really knew everything, in detail. You have to put some serious study in to know as much about rockets as he knows now. This doesn't come just from hanging out with people. Eric Berger: Elon is the chief engineer in name and reality. Josh Boehm: Elon is both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of SpaceX, so of course he does more than just some very technical work. He is integrally involved in the actual design and engineering of the rocket, and at least touches every other aspect of the business. Elon is an engineer at heart, and that’s where and how he works best. Garrett Reisman: He’s obviously skilled at all different functions, but certainly what really drives him and where his passion really is, is his role as Chief Engineer. That’s the part of the job that really plays to his strengths. Tom Mueller: Elon and the Propulsion department are leading development of the SpaceX engines, particularly Raptor. Kevin Watson: Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction. He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy. He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years.

No King's Day! Yes Kirk's Day!

People should not be fired for their opinions, even if you think those opinions are repulsive. Unless it's a doctor who revels in someone's death; or a teacher who cannot tell right from wrong; or a journalist who writes libel.

What they don’t show you in this video is Iryna’s blood curdling muffled screams and terrified, helpless eyes as she was being viciously stabbed in her neck by this fucking monster. The judges and district attorneys who have allowed criminals to roam free are literally terrorists in robes and suits. They are no different than people who allow their aggressive pit bulls (with a history of attacking humans) to roam freely on your street. They should be responsible for the monsters they unleash. It’s time for a new era of tough on crime policies. No more cosplaying judges and DA’s, we need the real thing.

Best video on “Free Palestine” in a long time Bravo to whoever made this 👏

No, they're making it so that people who enter without paying the fee, are committing a felony rather than a misdemeanor.

Such an amazing ad, from the paragon of design: Apple.

This brilliant cartoon clearly explains Trump's position on Ukraine. It is in Ukrainian with English subtitles. Share it with anyone who keeps repeating russian propaganda.

Ok so apparently, if you tell Gemini to pretend it is drunk, then its ability to think critically increases dramatically!

1/ An interesting analysis by ChatGPT on the psychological aspects of the meeting between Zelensky and Trump-Vance is circulating online. It reveals a masterclass in gaslighting, manipulation, and coercion from Trump and his entourage. Let’s break it down. 1/n

1/ Vladimir Putin is demanding that Ukraine should hold a presidential election in wartime. Nazi Germany demanded the same of Britain in July 1942. This is the story of why the UK delayed holding elections throughout World War II. ⬇️

The fact that such a lawsuit is even possible is a testament that our legal system is deeply unwell.

If this was a PR, the size alone would be a reason for automatic reject.

In 100 years this will look so funny 🤣

Once we learn how to talk to dolphins using LLMs - they'll tell us all about where the alien bases are.

So, you're saying, Elon Musk bought some Twitter shares before he bought the remaining shares? The outrage!!!

This may sound crazy, but WHAT IF instead of stealing people's money the government actually had to WORK to earn that money? You know, like all other businesses do.

The collapse of the Assad regime is for Russia a far worse catastrophe than most realize. It will take me many posts and you will see more and more like this coming the coming days and weeks. Here, I will show the implications on Africa. As it is well known, one of Russia's "business models" is to prop up dictatorships and putschist regimes all around the globe, including Africa. Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and the Central African Republic are just a few to name of. The Sudanese Civil war is even directly kept on fire by Russia. The latest peace process by the UNSC was stopped by Russia's veto. War and suffering are not only a good business for the Russian war industry, the only operational industry in Russia, but especially for their most infamous mercenary group, Wagner. In exchange for Russia's help, to prop up those scourge regimes across Africa, Wagner received direct control of lucrative deals for mining operations, especially gold and blood diamonds. The exploitation operations are executed in the most ruthless way, with utter disregard on human life, killing locals and foreigners alike, even Chinese worker. After all, this has always been Wagner number one revenue. However, logistically, Russia always relied on the Syrian bases to fly out the riches and fly in mercenaries. They always had to pass Khmeimim when going in either direction. It is also safe to assume that much of the operations in Africa were coordinated in Khmeimim. Without this base, all operations in Africa were virtually impossible or the very least much harder to accomplish. And harder means, more expensive. This "business model" could only thrive for as long as the puppet Assad was in Damascus, which as we all know is history. What this will mean for the putschist regimes and Wagner alike, remains to be seen, but it might give the African people suffering under them and Wagner a new chance to get rid off the Russian influence, the same way as the Syrian people ended it.
