@LawrenceFo56660 @RepLuna @robsmithonline Congress may conceal their actions better, but their actions equally put soldiers' lives at risk... maybe even moreso, because the enemy watches them more closely. I think it's all treason. ALL OF IT.

@RepLuna @robsmithonline Representative. He placed his unit and the mission at risk b doing this. He put himself before the nation. May happen in Congress, but it cannot happen in the life and death circumstances of the military. I expect all my Soldiers to be above board and focus.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
Maybe not a popular take but I am calling for this guy to be pardoned. Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice. There is no “justice” when guys like this get the book thrown at him yet members are illegally profiting every day. I don’t agree with what he did and he should be required to disgorge all the profits however, unless the DOJ plans on doing Congress next, this is not justice.

DOJ releases more information about the U.S. soldier who won more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal. Gannon Ken van Dyke could face up to 60 years in prison on all charges. Prosecutors are also seizing the money he won.

You're too young to remember, but one of the first things Newt Gingrich did when Republicans took over the House following the 1994 election was to pass a rule that said the House could no longer exempt its members from the laws they passed. That lasted until 1999, when the Democrats took the House back and promptly removed that rule.

That's great.. something that human drivers *should* do, but rarely do. Can FSD recognize when someone *doesn't* use their blinker and decides to cut in front of you at a multi-lane traffic light, where one lane is moving and the other isn't? I once hit a truck that did that and then stalled in front of me. I almost stopped in time, but my old van had too much momentum 😔.

@Sassafrass_84 I do think your supposition is correct... a large percentage of the Virginia "YES" voters had absolutely no understanding of what they were truly voting for. Our elected representatives are *supposed* to be the wise ones. That's why we're a representative republic.

@Sassafrass_84 Thank you. That's good news, albeit too little, too late. They'll use the poll results to justify their agenda. Some do know. They're taking over Virginia and the U.S. The hate is overwhelming, and disturbing. The Great Experiment is failing.

Virginia Circuit Court just ruled that the Democrats’ gerrymandering redistricting vote is unconstitutional. Do these people even know what tf they are voting for? 🤦‍♀️

Responsible driving saves lives. Teaching kids responsibility saves lives. I'll bet FSD causes accidents as well. Yes, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised) system has been involved in accidents. While Tesla reports lower collision rates with FSD active, federal investigators and independent reports indicate the system can cause or fail to prevent crashes, resulting in injuries. It is a supervised system, not fully autonomous, requiring active driver monitoring. Reddit Reddit +4 Key details regarding FSD-related accidents include: Federal Investigations: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating roughly 2.9 million Tesla vehicles regarding safety violations, including incidents where FSD caused cars to run red lights, make unsafe turns, or collide with objects, including in low-visibility conditions. Documented Incidents: Multiple high-profile crashes have been linked to FSD (Supervised), including cases where the system steered improperly or failed to react to hazards. Driver Responsibility: Tesla emphasizes that the system cannot drive itself, and drivers must be prepared to intervene at all times. Safety Data Controversy: Tesla reports that FSD has significantly fewer collisions per million miles compared to the average U.S. driver. Critics, however, debate this data, noting it may not account for scenarios where a driver disengages the system just before an accident. Mixed Performance: Reports indicate the system can both cause accidents and prevent them (avoiding head-on collisions) in specific, complex situations. YouTube YouTube +9

@elonmusk Germany was in the lead investigating the vaccine... My wife was fortunate to have a friend who had access to their medical research and warned us not to take the vaccine. For most people, the risks from the vaccines far outweighed the risks from the actual virus.

@elonmusk Yes. Years ago... kids were sorted into tracks... some vocational, some college oriented. I hear Europe does the same. Kids with vocational talent were able to get an early start. I was fortunate to get that from my father, and the rest (science/art/literature) from my mother.

Dustin@r0ck3t23

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

This is the way
Brivael@brivael

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.

@xKaprice This is what I see happening everywhere.. outsiders being imported to "fix" things. I'd rather see a lifetime Virginian in office here than an outsider who has no stake in the outcome... regardless of party affiliation...

For CA governor? 😆 Steve, sit down mate. Brit import who helped wreck UK politics under Cameron, now LARPing as CA’s savior with a Fox News script. ZERO local roots or governing experience. CA doesn’t need another out-of-touch talker. Pass.
Steve Hilton@SteveHiltonx

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of our President, Donald J Trump. The Democrat machine arrogantly assumes it will rule forever. Well they're in for a shock: Californians are desperate for change, and I will work harder than you've ever seen, for everyone in our beautiful state, to make it happen. Golden Again. ✊☀️🇺🇸

Watching Artemis II, after all these years and expenses, we still can't make a space toilet that works? VERY disappointing, especially considering that this is to test MANNED space flight.

Watching Artemis II on PBS, they are photographing the moon with cameras in person... I don't understand why this is any better than an automated camera system would be? Can anyone explain this logically to me? Also, l thought we had already extensively mapped the lunar surface?

Please keep our explorers in your prayers. While I personally believe that venturing outside of Earth's protective magnetosphere during this period of high solar activity entails unnecessary and unjustifiable risk, we must now do our best to bring our travelers home safely.
