He created a device that lets paralyzed individuals control phones, tablets, and computers with only their tongue. Created by MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega, the device sits on the roof of the mouth and works like a wireless trackpad.

@otokyo__ Are they in that huge tree?

Apparently if you’re right-brained you see a rabbit, if you’re left-brained you see a turtle. What do you see

@TraditionSarah The more we conform to others behavior and preference, the less we respond to our own calling and voice. You be you- they’ll be them. If you end up diverging be thankful for the time and the inside look at the other view. You see theirs leads to division, you want unity.

A few months ago my “best friend” of nearly 30 years decided we can’t be friends because I didn’t mourn Renee Good. She claimed we had “moral differences”. Prior to that, we obviously knew we had differences in politics but just didn’t discuss politics. She ended our last conversation saying she was going to talk to her therapist and I never heard from her again. It’s her birthday today. I want to tell her I love her (even if our politics aren’t the same), I want to wish her happy birthday, I want to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives. But I can’t do that because of a crazy lady who tried to run over an ICE agent with a smile on her face and I apparently needed to side with her to be morally just. The left has taken so many people from me. I may swallow my pride and text her happy birthday, but I also feel like she really crossed boundaries and maybe our book is finally just closed for good.

FAFO system abusers… 2025 is the rise of the TRUTH, accountability, and integrity. Especially for me in schools and #ForTheKids

@RigoIrizarry Love it!! I’m straight and autistic and love my gay friends in the church. Ran into this mess this past summer at a “festival” that was part of the mess you’re revealing. Would love to have a great podcast about this for teachers and students (14-24) that just make sense

No one has to go along with this weird shit! This post is not going to sit well with the LGBTQ+ community, but it needs to be said and it needs to be said by someone like me. ♥️♥️♥️ #throwback

Love this guy’s bold stance as a gay man about the confusing word-games of the current society. Without cooperation, community, and communication, we end up with coercion, conformity, and psychological castration.

@LenSeaside @AnyOne1725850 @Life_With_ALS Wisely spoken (typed). Good insight. I have the same questions about the “locus of conscious awareness” in our multi-faceted experiences both conscious intent, subconscious action, and biological auto-responses.

@AnyOne1725850 @Life_With_ALS No I don't have to move my mouth. What intend is is complicated obviously. Can never know whether the intention came first or was an illusion created by my narrator.

Not only can I speak with the implant, I can also use it for dictation. I "typed" this, but without a keyboard - or any other text entry device - except the implant. I am also The Man Who Types With His Mind.

@Life_With_ALS @Ratio_Disputati @LenSeaside FASCINATING!! Ever surprised by your own thoughts, reactions, or insights?

@Ratio_Disputati @LenSeaside Actually, yes! 🤣

@Life_With_ALS Love that you’re sharing your experience with us, @Life_With_ALS!

Neuralink is restoring speech to those who have lost the ability to speak

@GovGoneWild @FoxBusiness @MariaBartiromo Hey @GovGoneWild I have some incredible insight to some of this and an alternative solution! Florida teacher for 20 years and grateful- want to help the system tha helped me before the BuShi!

My appearance on @FoxBusiness last night talking about our efforts to cut out wasteful, excessive spending in Florida. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican…I’m calling it out. cc: @MariaBartiromo

A Stanford student got reported for academic misconduct last semester. His research paper was so good his professor assumed he bought it. The academic integrity hearing lasted 3 hours. Here's what happened in that room. The panel asked him to explain his methodology from scratch. He opened his laptop, pulled up Kimi.com, and started rebuilding the entire paper live in front of them. First he fed it his raw notes and asked: "You are a research methodology expert. Here are my raw notes. Identify the 3 strongest arguments buried in this data, rank them by originality, and show me exactly where each one challenges or extends existing literature." The professors went quiet. Then he ran: "Now simulate a hostile peer reviewer with a PhD in this field. Generate every serious objection they would raise against my thesis. Then tell me which objections actually have merit and which ones I can dismantle." One professor leaned forward and asked him to stop so she could write down the prompt. He kept going. "Take my weakest argument and steelman it harder than I did. Show me what it would look like if it were airtight. Then tell me what I'd need to prove to get it there." Then the one that ended the hearing. "You are my thesis advisor. I have 24 hours before submission. Read this draft and tell me the single change that would move this from a B+ to an A. Be brutal." He walked them through how he'd used that last output to rewrite his conclusion three times until it held up under every objection in the room. What took most PhD candidates 6 months of back-and-forth with advisors, he was doing in real-time inside a single workflow. The panel didn't just clear him. They gave him the highest grade in the department's history and asked him to present the workflow to faculty. The irony is beautiful. The paper looked too good to be human because he'd found a way to think harder than most humans bother to. That's not cheating. That's the new ceiling.

The Biden administration made a bad situation at the border infinitely worse with their open border policies. They were complicit in letting criminal illegal aliens back into our communities. Never forget that.

My son, Tom, died by suicide in 2015 at 16 years old. A classmate followed seven months later. Today, as I was recounting the aftermath to trusted friends, a supressed memory surfaced. After his classmate died by suicide, someone said to me, "I can understand why Tom died, because he was not very popular, but I can't figure out why (name redacted) did, because everyone loved her. I am glad I did not remember that statement until I was better equipped to process it. My son was not popular, but he was the kid others came to when they needed someone with which to talk. He was loving, helpful, intelligent, creative, punny, and sensitive. He lived authenticly, even when his anxiety ramped up. I loved him unconditionally and miss him terribly. 💛 By star1670

🚨 Fraud is costing taxpayers BILLIONS & state watchdogs already know where to look. Our CEO @OJOleka makes it clear: with @VP leading the federal effort, partnering with state financial officers is how we scale results fast. They’ve been in the fight. Now it’s time to finish it.

Fathers don’t post 50 selfies with their kids every week. They just quietly renew the car insurance at 2 a.m. Skip their own doctor’s appointment so the school fees can be cleared, and still say I’m fine when you ask how work was. That’s the love no one talks about.

🚨BREAKING: MIT just dropped an AI model that converts photos into fully editable CAD programs and it quietly kills the $150/hour CAD modeling industry. It's called GenCAD. You give it an image. It gives you the complete parametric command sequence lines, arcs, extrusions ready for manufacturing. Not meshes. Not point clouds. Actual editable CAD. - Autoregressive transformers + diffusion models for image-to-CAD translation - Outperforms every existing method on unconditional and conditional CAD generation - Retrieves matching designs from 7K+ CAD databases using just a photo - Trained on 840K+ images - Generates multiple valid designs from a single input The team also built CAD-Coder on top of this -- a vision-language model that writes CadQuery Python code from images with 100% valid syntax rate. Beats GPT-4.5 and Qwen2.5-VL-72B. Built at MIT. Published in ASME Journal of Mechanical Design. 100% Open Source.

BUSTED! He stole his clients’ money to buy designer clothes. Now he’ll be wearing an orange jumpsuit. #FAFO

@GovGoneWild @GovGoneWild I’d love to talk to you about a similar case having to do with public school funding providers and a handicapped adult I’m aware of. Lots of fed and state funds involved.
