OH MY 🤯 Look at these incredible scenes from Iran! Islamic Republic DOES NOT want these videos to be shared with the world, and you can clearly see and hear why. President @realDonaldTrump, these people are innocent, brave, and patriots and are counting on your help.

I will love him when his tax policy is 0%

Elon Musk says five-year deadlines gut every project before the work starts. Project schedules grow. Musk doesn't let them. He named the law nobody else does. "There is a law of gas expansion that applies to schedules." Then the consequence. "If you said we're going to do something in five years, which to me is like infinity time, it will expand to fill the available schedule and it'll take five years." Five years is infinity time. The fix is the deadline you'd never agree to. "I generally actually try to aim for a deadline that I at least think is at the 50th percentile." A deadline missed half the time on purpose. Musk, on what 50th percentile means: "It's the most aggressive deadline I can think of that could be achieved with 50% probability." Half the schedule slips. The other half ships impossible. Musk's whole operating system runs on it. "I have a maniacal sense of urgency. So that maniacal sense of urgency projects through the rest of the company." The urgency is not pressure. It is gas pressure. Without it, the project fills the room you give it. Musk, on what he's actually optimizing: "I'm constantly addressing the limiting factor." The limiting factor is rarely the work. It is the schedule. If you're new here, @GeniusGTX is a gallery for the greatest minds in economics, psychology, and history.

Share this with everyone, you know living in Los Angeles. Please. We need a change on Tuesday. We don’t want to be New York.

BREAKING: Partial internet has been restored to Iran, with videos finally coming out showing the extent of protests against the regime. Millions demanded an end to the Mullahs.

Marco Rubio realizing he has to become a popstar to perform at the nation’s 250th.

If Spencer Pratt can get 50% of the vote in Los Angeles on Tuesday he would become mayor. There would be no need for a November election. Come on Los Angeles, do this. We're rooting for you.

@Twolfrecovery Raman says "I have two little kids. They didn't see it, luckily this morning but I feel badly that I am subjecting them to this." What..."subjecting" do you speak of Raman? The subjecting that the rest of LA is experiencing???

Why do women live longer?

Elon Musk cried on national television when his childhood heroes called him a fraud. Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, the first and last men to walk on the moon, publicly testified against SpaceX. They said Musk was reckless. That private spaceflight was dangerous. That he was going to get people killed. They asked Congress to shut him down. These were the men Musk grew up worshipping. The posters on his wall. The reason he built rockets in the first place. And they went on television and said he was a disgrace to space exploration. In a 60 Minutes interview shortly after, Musk was asked about it. He started speaking and his voice broke. His eyes filled. He couldn't finish the sentence. The richest man in tech, the guy who argues with regulators and fires engineers mid-meeting, sat on camera and cried because his heroes rejected him. He didn't stop building. He didn't change direction. He didn't even respond to them publicly. He just kept launching rockets until the rockets proved him right. Armstrong never lived to see SpaceX land a booster. Cernan never saw Starship. The men who said it couldn't be done died before the man they doubted did it. Most people need approval from the people they admire before they act. Musk got the opposite of approval and acted anyway. That's the gap. Not talent. Not money. The willingness to keep building while the people you love most tell you to stop.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share. “Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count. First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you. Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would. Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands. Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick. Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you. The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

A frog swallowed a firefly and is now glowing from the inside. Congratulations, we now have Firefrog.

🚨 UPDATE: Xavier Becerra just announced he would "finish" High Speed Rail "on budget and on time." "On time" was SIX YEARS AGO! They've already spent HALF the budget and haven't laid any track! Now we're seeing why even Joe Biden and his team thought Becerra was useless...Vote for Change. Vote Steve Hilton. Vote TODAY!

As a Democrat, I can admit I’ve been voting wrong. Look what Mayor Karen Bass has allowed to happen to Hollywood Boulevard. It’s not only disgusting, it’s an embarrassment. It’s much worse than the picture depicts.
