A few things to think about: The most common phrase in Hebrew and Christian scripture is “Don’t be afraid.” The early followers believed that Jesus was resurrected & death had been defeated. This made them effectively impossible to intimidate, to the point that nothing even the Roman Empire could do would dissuade them. Christianity spread across very different cultures and languages without an army (until after 325). The primitive Church both had problems AND was an amazing community that turned worldly values (status, money, hierarchy, patriarchy, tribalism, blood family ties) on their head with forgiveness as the core ethic. Nothing else in History has been even remotely like it. As Jesus through the Church authors History, our problems and paradigms change. The different parts of the Church adapt (sometimes reluctantly) and meet each era with new understandings, theology and practices. What is immutable is the Cross & Resurrection, defeating death and freeing us from its power, enabling us to turn our hearts (repent) … individually and corporately. The ethics Jesus taught flow from this basic reality. This means that while the world to come empowers us, the world “now” is of paramount interest to the Divine. The Book of Revelation has Heaven and earth joining, and we will have glorious resurrected bodies to inhabit eternity. We are not escaping this world, we are transforming it under subtle Divine guidance. The “invisible” struggle of the Church with Empire post 325 is, indeed how we now enjoy an enlightened, scientific civilization with Dignity Culture.

@joni_askola @MalcolmNance Haley or Rubio would win decisively against any D front runner. Vance not so much.

Orbán’s defeat should give Americans food for thought about Trump. You don’t defeat a far-right autocrat by running to the far left. You win with a candidate average voters are comfortable with, as Hungarians were with Magyar. That doesn’t necessarily mean a centrist

I fact-checked this and they do in fact rape the virgins before executing them in Iran. They do a sham marriage right before.

@PolitiBunny @libsoftiktok I voted for the non partisan maps when they were on the ballot. And if Texas had left well enough alone Virginia would have too.

Keep in mind, Fairfax is the county Democrats want running the state of Virginia. 56 counties stand to lose representation of Spanberger's referendum passes. VOTE NO.

@EZebroni Congrats. We demurred though. I can’t see buying something that doesn’t have real permanent FSD among other things. We’ll be listing a couple of FSD junipers soon though.

Glad I got my reservation in!! Can’t wait to throw this Model X signature edition on Turo!

@FutureAZA Oh … so that’s what that’s for. I thought it was a decoration or something.

@FutureAZA What are breaks?

To those of you with a Tesla (or really any EV) how long did it take before you first had to change your brakes? And if you haven't needed to, what's the age and mileage of your vehicle?

🚨 BREAKING: Murder suicide - former VA Dem Lt Gov @LGJustinFairfax kills wife then himself in Annandale, VA. Police are zip lipped. AJust after midnight Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife and then shot himself in the head. They were going through divorce. Police dispatched shortly after midnight to the home of former VA Lt. Gov Justin Fairfax at 8106 Guinevere Drive Annandale VA. Both he and his wife declared dead at the scene from GSWs.

@carlos_dnger @miles_commodore What do naggers have to do with this tweet?

@miles_commodore To be fair, if it was a direct comparison it wouldn’t be ‘African American’ Barrel…

As a black man I don’t want DEI, but I do want fairness. For example, how come there is no restaurant called African American Barrel?

Nine billion miles of driving data just became a chip. Tesla AI5 is finalized for production. The design files are at Samsung in Texas and TSMC in Arizona. The transistors are locked. There is no going back. Tape-out is the hardest gate in semiconductor engineering because everything before it is reversible and everything after it is silicon. How this particular chip was designed is the most interesting part. Nvidia builds general-purpose GPUs. They pack transistors into a full-reticle die, ship it with CUDA, and let customers figure out which operations matter. Blackwell B200 delivers 4.5 petaFLOPS at up to 1,000 watts. It runs any model for any customer. That generality is the moat and the tax. Every workload pays for circuits it never uses. Tesla designed AI5 backward. They started with 9 billion miles of FSD inference data and asked one question: where does the neural network waste cycles? The answer was softmax computation and quantization precision loss. Two specific mathematical operations that consume disproportionate silicon area and power in every general-purpose GPU on Earth. Operations that Nvidia cannot optimize away because other customers need those transistors for different workloads. Tesla hardened them. Burned custom quantization and softmax accelerator blocks directly into the die. Five times more efficient on those operations than any general-purpose equivalent. Then they added 10 times the raw compute and 9 times the memory capacity relative to AI4. The result: a single AI5 system-on-chip delivers roughly 5 times the useful compute of the current dual-chip AI4 configuration at an estimated 250 watts. Musk has framed a single AI5 as Nvidia Hopper class and dual AI5 as Blackwell class for Tesla workloads, at 3 to 5 times better power efficiency and roughly 10 times better performance per dollar. This is not a chip designed to compete with Nvidia. This is a chip designed to run one thing: the learned differentiable physics engine that emerged from 9 billion miles of camera observation. Every transistor serves that engine. No wasted silicon. No generality tax. The neural network wrote its own hardware. The chip goes to two foundries. Samsung in Taylor, Texas. TSMC in Arizona. Both American. Musk thanked both this morning and added: “It will be one of most produced AI chips ever.” Samples arrive late 2026. Volume targets H2 2027. In the same post, Musk confirmed AI6, Dojo3, and “other exciting chips” are in active development. The 9-month cadence is real. AI6 targets tape-out by December. Dojo3 restarts on the unified architecture after Musk shut down Dojo2 last August as an “evolutionary dead end.” Intel joined Terafab eight days ago for advanced packaging. The $16.5 billion Samsung deal runs through 2033. The chip that taped out this morning is not a product. It is the physical crystallization of 9 billion miles of learned physics into transistors optimized for the exact mathematical operations that physics requires. The software trained on the road. The silicon was designed from what the software learned. And the factory that will mass-produce it is being built in the same city where the cars that generated the training data roll off the line. The loop is closed.

@ImtiazMadmood 🙏

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Iran war will start to die down because there have been things happening on the ground in Iran that nobody is aware of but which will change everything. Everybody has been so focused on the bombing and missiles and the Strait of Hormuz that they’ve not been paying attention to the words said by several high profile people involved with this war over the past few days. I think we’re about to have a whole new Revolution in Iran, but unlike the Islamic Revolution, this one will a Revolution that removes the Islamists and gives Iran back to the Iranian people. Something big is coming. And it’s going to be glorious. - @MorEdge_Insight

@Sola_Scriptora @rabbriansamuel What about Anglicans?

@rabbriansamuel The pope just said Mulims are in COMUNION with Roman Catholics... They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

Muslims believe in a different Abraham, a different Moses, and a different Jesus. Don't believe Tucker and the new emergence of Chrislam.

@RaminNasibov What would you do different if you had evidence that we were?

Are we living in a simulation?

I had a miscarriage today… I’ve never had one before. This is the most devastating loss I’ve ever experienced in my life… If you are a praying person, would you say a prayer, please. 💔✝️

@kaizen000000000 Look into Bayesian analysis of P(Jesus resurrected) … you can put your own priors in but: Jesus fulfilled prophecy and purpose. Followers died confessing Him for no gain. Movement spread like wildfire across languages and cultures with values that made no sense and no swords.

What’s the strongest piece of evidence that convinced you God exists? I’m genuinely curious no insults please

@VolodyaTretyak The ends of the horseshoes are authoritarian lovers . Left/right doesn’t matter.

Peter Magyar is a good example that being right-wing should not mean being pro-Russia.

@hanaamurakami In most of the West, parents are now blamed for their children’s failings in a dignity culture that affirms the children’s autonomy. So who signs up for that? I understand in 🇯🇵 that is true, but also asking for help of any kind to raise the child is shameful. Takes a village.

What could solve Japan’s declining birth rate?

@Kekius_Sage Because we are outside of an Event Horizon.

Why can we move through space freely but not through time?

White South African murdered in his home, his fiancée gang raped by 6 men. Remember, this is still ongoing! This is what the ‘Kill the Boer’ chants lead to!

Fukuyama: Hungary’s election was an extraordinarily important victory for liberal democracy. Orban built “illiberal democracy”: no guardrails, no rule of law, no constitutional checks. JD Vance went to help him, and that seems to have hurt Orban. 1/
