FINALLY good enough weather for lunch in the park (less than a minute from my office).

@elonmusk @AriFleischer Thank you Elon for making me aware of this. Unreal that it is not a big story.

The "toddler rope"?! This is ridiculous.
Holly Pretsky@hollypret
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul join the toddler rope ahead of childcare announcement this morning. As Times reported, demand for childcare was flat this year despite Mamdani admin outreach surge: 99k offers extended for pre-K and 3k

Delta Airlines has responded to Elon Musk's post below with a statement:
“The assertion in question is not accurate. Incorporating Delta Sync with Starlink would have been permitted under SpaceX's in-flight Wi-Fi agreement."
Delta on why it chose Amazon's LEO: "This agreement gives us the fastest and most cost-effective technology available to better connect the world today, and it deepens our work with a global leader that shares our ambition to build what’s next."
The airline is targeting 2028 to start offering Leo in-flight Wi-Fi on about half of its fleet. The rest of the jets will continue to use Viasat and Hughesnet.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Not exactly. SpaceX requires that there be no annoying “portal” to use Starlink. Starlink WiFi must just work effortlessly every time, as though you were at home. Delta wanted to make it painful, difficult and expensive for their customers. Hard to see how that is a winning strategy.

🚨 Secretary Rubio on why this job is the BEST job he's ever had:
"I enjoy working for this president because he's willing to do what others TALK about but don't DO."
"He is willing to solve unfinished business and NOT leave it for the next guy."

Robert Reich forgot the 6th and most common way:
6) Build something millions of people actually want
Robert Reich@RBReich
There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

If these are your lecture students, what would be the topic of your lecture? ✍️

Barack Hussein Obama wasted $34 million and 18 months on a failed attempt to fix the leaking Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris then proposed a staggering $300 million and 3 years for the exact same job. Donald Trump solved the entire problem for just $2 million using a simple industrial coating.
This is the difference between leftist career politicians and a real leader. The establishment throws hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at problems and delivers nothing but excuses and failure. Donald Trump cuts through the bureaucracy, ignores the nonsense, and actually gets results.

Ludwig van Beethoven conducted the premiere of his Ninth Symphony in Vienna on on May 7, 1824,
He was completely deaf, and could not hear a single note of the performance
When it ended, the audience erupted
He did not hear it, and kept conducting
Until one of the soloists took him by the arm and turned him around
The crowd rose: handkerchiefs waving, hats flying
He wept
This piece is now world’s most performed orchestral work
Knowing he never heard it himself makes me genuinely sad...

The Dark Ages weren't dark, they were a 500 year rescue operation run by the Church
When Rome fell in 476 AD, monks walked into the ruins and pulled out the manuscripts
Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Virgil were copied by hand for 500 years in cold rooms for no audience
The Renaissance didn't rediscover antiquity, it unwrapped what monks had kept

@robbystarbuck So incredibly tired of the virtue signaling nonsense 😑😑😑😑😑

As I’ve said many times having directed some of the biggest stars in Hollywood: Most big stars suffer from extreme mental illness and they’re living in an alternate reality. She likely has no understanding of the fact that she IS in the 1%, at an event that celebrates the 1%. 🤦🏻♂️
Oli London@OliLondonTV
Sarah Paulson wears dollar bill over her eyes to call out the ‘One Percent.’ The actress, who is worth an estimated $12 million, used her outfit to call out the world’s elite while attending the $100,000 per person Met Gala.

Wheat is headed and starting to flower/pollenate. You can see the wind blowing the waves of wheat across the field. Harvest is going to be very early for Kansas if warm dry weather continues to plague the central US. Forecast says cold and damp so maybe we get by

@mirandadevine Many women are losing their marbles. Embarrassing. 🙈

In pleasanter times this woman would have been a rosy cheeked grandmother baking treats and preserving fruit for her extended family, playing the organ at church, and helping people in her community. Instead we see this ugly waste of a time in life when you should be making peace with the world

She's wearing shirt about "kindness" as she does this. You can't make it up.

I'm joining @ndstudio, led by @jgebbia, to redesign how Americans interact with the government.
Hundreds of millions of Americans rely on government services – tax filing, passport renewal, Social Security, veterans benefits – and those experiences haven't kept up with the rest of the internet. There's no reason renewing a passport can't feel as well-crafted as booking a flight.
I became a designer to improve the experiences people use every day. To make it feel like someone actually cared about the person on the other end. At the scale of a country, it's the opportunity of a lifetime.
NDS is moving fast and shipping products we all use. And we're hiring. Ambitious designers and engineers who sweat the details, know every pixel matters, and believe government software should be beautiful and functional. DM me if that sounds like you.
