Ara Grace

It's Monday evening in Jakarta and I just spent 25 minutes watching a street food vendor set up his cart. Same position every week. Same sequence of movements. Same white cloth folded the same way. I don't know why but I find this extremely beautiful.

Starting something. Same account, new intention. I'm Ara — I run a company in Jakarta, I make music, and I'm curious about a lot of things. I have no idea how to do this, which is exactly why I'm doing it publicly. Let's see what happens.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life."

A new lunar cycle begins, fueled by the strength and spirit of the Fire Horse. 🐎🔥 I’m entering this year with a heart full of gratitude for the journey so far and a vision fixed on the horizon. May we all find the stamina to reach our dreams and the grace to enjoy the ride. 祝您身体健康，工作顺利，合家幸福，马年吉祥! ✨🐎🔥

@CollinRugg Wow. What an incredible kid. God is good!

NEW: 13-year-old Australian boy swims for four hours in cold and dangerous waters to save his mom and siblings who were swept into the ocean, says God is who got him to shore. The family was on kayaks & paddleboards when they were swept about 2.5 miles out to sea. After a conversation with his mother, Austin Appelbee decided he would swim back to shore to find help. Appelbee says he prayed throughout the four-hour swim and told God he would get baptized if he made it out alive. "I don't think it was actually me [swimming]... It was God the whole time. I kept on praying, kept on praying. I said to God, 'I'll get baptized.'" "The waves are massive, and I have no life jacket on… I just kept thinking 'just keep swimming, just keep swimming,'" he said. "And then I finally made it to shore, and I hit the bottom of the beach, and I just collapsed." Appelbee says when he got to shore, he had to sprint for about a mile to find help. According to AP, the family drifted 9 miles from Quindalup and spent 10 hours in the water. When he reached the shore, Appelbee alerted authorities, who then sent out a helicopter to find his mom, 12-year-old brother, and 8-year-old sister. Austin's mother, Joanne Appelbee, said one of the hardest decisions of her life was sending her son to shore. "One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin: 'Try and get to shore and get some help. This could get really serious really quickly,'" she said. What a remarkable kid.

@Arealmfngl What a time to be alive 😂

I saw a girl at Starbucks today. No iPhone. No tablet. No laptop. She just sat there. Drinking coffee. Like a Psychopath.

@ofctimallen What an eye-opening experience it must’ve been.

Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.

VENOM is out today!!! 🐍❤️‍🔥 My first single after a long time away from music — written by me, born from late nights and big feelings. I’m beyond excited (and a little terrified) to finally let it out into the world. So grateful to share this with you. Listen now, everywhere.

@itsme_urstruly Hi penguin!

The masculine urge to set this as wallpaper

@DefiyantlyFree Wow interesting

This is what Trump is up against just from Norm Eisen’s lawfare: 1. Venue Shopping ∙78% of Eisen-affiliated cases filed in D.C. District Court or other Democrat-heavy jurisdictions (S.D.N.Y., N.D. Cal., D. Mass.) ∙This is strategic: D.C. and S.D.N.Y. have highest concentration of Obama/Biden-appointed judges 2. Preliminary Relief Focus ∙In 18 of 21 active cases, plaintiffs sought preliminary injunction/TRO ∙Strategy: Block implementation immediately, worry about final merits later ∙Creates “status quo” bias against Trump policies even if ultimately upheld 3. Coalition Plaintiffs ∙No case has single plaintiff; average is 4.3 organizational plaintiffs ∙Builds appearance of broad opposition ∙Provides backup standing arguments if one plaintiff fails 4. Coordination Across Organizations ∙SUDC focuses state-level election cases ∙CREW handles federal ethics/emoluments ∙Protect Democracy takes constitutional structure ∙Minimizes appearance of single entity driving all litigation 5. Media Synchronization ∙Court filings coordinated with CNN appearances, op-eds, Congressional testimony ∙Litigation as public narrative tool, not just legal remedy 6. Scholarly Credibility ∙Eisen’s Brookings affiliation provides academic veneer ∙Papers cited by plaintiffs give appearance of neutral scholarly consensus ∙Contrast with Elias, who’s openly partisan operative The Funding Question Total spending by Eisen-affiliated organizations (2025 fiscal year): ∙States United Democracy Center: $32.4M ∙CREW: $28.7M ∙Protect Democracy: $24.1M ∙Democracy Forward: $15.8M ∙Combined: $101 million This doesn’t include: ∙Outside law firms working pro bono or reduced rates ∙Individual donor funding of specific cases ∙Dark money pass-throughs (Sixteen Thirty Fund, others) Where money comes from (aggregated from tax filings): Major Foundation Support: ∙Open Society Foundations (Soros): ~$12M across orgs ∙Wyss Foundation: ~$8M ∙Democracy Fund: ~$6M ∙Sixteen Thirty Fund: ~$15M (itself funded by undisclosed donors) Individual Mega-Donors (disclosed contributions >$100k): ∙Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn founder): ~$4M ∙Laurene Powell Jobs (Steve Jobs widow): ~$3M ∙Pierre Omidyar (eBay founder): ~$2M ∙Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook co-founder): ~$2M A bunch of billionaires control everything that’s going on because they file a lawsuit every single time Trump does something. I guarantee you this is not how our founding fathers envisioned our country to operate and the only reason is possible is because of NGOs.

@ElenaCardone It really is ❤️

Discipline isn’t restriction. It’s the highest form of self-respect.

@PeterDiamandis @elonmusk I think AGI is a system that can autonomously acquire new skills to solve novel problems without human intervention.

Everyone is talking about AGI, but nobody can agree on what it actually means. How would you define it?
