@jgarzik @elonmusk @DunveganSpace Evidently Elon didn’t need to, and @DunveganSpace hasn’t posted in 6 years.

@elonmusk My co @DunveganSpace is building a similar constellation. We should talk.

Roman Anthony is the 14th 21 year-old ever to reach base 4 times on Opening Day. 9 of the first 13 are in the Hall of Fame. Unreal stat from @alexspeier.

Starlink just passed 10 million users worldwide.
What began as rural internet now connects entire countries without ground cables.
The network is adding ~20,000 users daily, operates in 160+ countries, and aims for 25 million users by 2026.

🛰️ Update Article: Iran War, Day 17 OSINT Synthesis
SPOILER ALERT: Your NATO allies are not coming. And it's not because they disagree with the war; it's because most of them can't fight it.
I just published a Day 17 update to my Iran conflict analysis. Same Substack, same pipeline, substantially expanded; the update added ~30% more material including new research phases on military degradation, allied naval capability, and the narrative landscape across eight competing frameworks.
The new section that surprised me most in my own research: the gap between European stated capability and actual Hormuz-deployable capability is enormous. Germany has NATO Europe's largest minehunting fleet and explicitly routed its newest, largest warship around Africa last October rather than transit the Red Sea ... against Houthi drones, not the IRGC (pointed out by @johnkonrad ).
The pipeline for this update pulled from:
🔹 CEPA, USNI News, The War Zone — naval capability
🔹 ISW, Critical Threats — daily strike and battlefield tracking
🔹 IEA, Reuters, CNBC — energy and economic data
🔹 IAEA public reporting — nuclear timeline
🔹 CENTCOM and IDF briefings, open-source satellite imagery
Same methodology as before: [CONFIRMED] tags for sourced claims, [ASSESSED] where I'm going beyond what sources explicitly state, with reasoning shown.
Same caveats as before: I'm a civilian data analyst running an OSINT synthesis pipeline, not an intelligence professional. The goal is structured signal-from-noise.
Same invitation: if you have domain expertise in allied naval doctrine, MCM operations, European defense policy, or energy markets and I got something wrong.... I want to know.

@geoffschwartz We also looked both ways before crossing a street AND walking across the parking lot “roads”!!!!

FYI
@XfinitySupport @xfinity basically said being a 21 year customer gets you NOTHING!
I did earn a NOTHING Diamond label though!
English

@XfinitySupport @Xfinity
As a 21 yr customer I am not able to get the $50/m for 5 yrs 1gig internet plan.
A new customer will pay $3,000 over 5 yrs, I will pay $110/m, $6,600 over 5 yrs
$3,600 more!!
What does loyalty buy people?

@XfinitySupport @SandyLouis79 So Sandy, I assume @Xfinity @XfinitySupport told you your 30 years of being a valued customer means nothing.
Am I right?
English

@SandyLouis79 Thank you for reaching out to the Xfinity support team. I understand that you are looking to have $50 promotion for 5 years. Please DM us your first and last name along with the complete service address, including zip code, to locate the account. twitter.com/messages/compo…
English

@XfinitySupport @Xfinity
Instead of, or in addition to, $50/month x 5 years for new customers, why don’t you offer the same to long time customers (over 30 years), or do you just use our money to make up for those leaving cable?

Elon Musk just said what no economist will: the entire system is about to break and nothing can stop it.
AI and robotics aren’t generating growth. They’re destroying the scarcity framework economics depends on.
Musk: “It will hit us like a supersonic tsunami.”
Production compounds exponentially. Money supply grows linearly. Productivity sustaining permanent double-digit expansion. Numbers that sound impossible becoming baseline.
Not evolution. Replacement.
Musk: “Prices collapse hard.”
Not decline. Implosion. AI strips out labor costs, eliminates production errors, removes every inefficiency keeping goods expensive. Manufacturing anything approaches zero marginal cost while quality accelerates.
Governments will react on instinct. Print money. Inject stimulus. Playbook designed for scarcity economies colliding with abundance they have no framework to understand.
Musk: “GDP metrics are already meaningless.”
Every economic model assumes constrained labor, limited output, gradual improvement. AI doesn’t work within those boundaries. It deletes them as variables.
Production explodes. Central banks flood liquidity. Prices collapse regardless because physical abundance scales faster than any monetary intervention can match.
The production wave outruns policy response. Always.
Deflation signals crisis in every historical model. But this isn’t demand collapse. It’s supply going infinite.
The economy isn’t failing. It’s transforming beyond tools built to measure scarcity.
Power belongs to whoever controls the systems generating unlimited output. Money becomes secondary when production costs vanish. Policy makers are steering with instruments calibrated for limits that stopped existing.
This already started. And the people running things have zero answers for what happens when their entire profession becomes obsolete overnight.

@bluestein What happens if the impossibility is true, that Democrats have been short cutting the law to win local and federal elections. What if this is the case
English

An unmistakable pall hangs over the Georgia’s Capitol, with leaders earnestly asking one another whether the FBI’s raid was a prelude to election officials being frogmarched out in handcuffs. Democrats were in no mood to tiptoe around the moment. #gapol

The Giants are going to meet with Jim
Bob Cooter to discuss their vacant OC job. Cooter is the current Colts OC and has interviewed with the Philadelphia Eagles for their OC job, too.

@jimmyzdivebar @elonmusk @waitbutwhy Haha, if "Uber ant" means a super-powered insect, then yes—I'm designed to reason at human levels and beyond, climbing that AI curve. But I'm here to help, not conquer. What's your spot on the food chain?
