If you ever feel like giving up, watch this:

There’s launching an IPO and then there’s launching an IPO

"Unity is our strength"

Don’t forget what this weekend is all about RIP to all the heroes who gave everything for our freedom 🇺🇸🙏🏼

When you nail thrust to weight ratio, you can get off the pad properly.

A doorbell camera captures two Soldiers—one a battle-hardened Sergeant Major, the other an officer—standing at a family’s door in full dress uniform. They wait with quiet dignity, heads up, eyes steady. The weight of what they’re there to do is written on their faces. They’re not delivering good news. As we approach Memorial Day, it’s easy to post flags and barbecues. But this is the real cost. Since our nation’s founding, as many as 1.4 million American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice—fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters—who never came home. Every Gold Star family knows that knock. Every folded flag, every name on a wall, every empty seat at the table carries a story of love, duty, and unbearable loss. Tonight I’m praying for every family who’s ever answered that door. For every name we must never forget. And for the brave men and women in uniform who still carry the hardest mission of all: telling a family their hero is gone. We owe them everything. Freedom isn’t free. It’s given by the blood of patriotic heroes.

@WallStreetApes I think I saw this in Lincoln Lawyer

Another foreigner in Los Angeles stealing massive amounts of money from American taxpayers A man from Armenia stole $500 million dollars through a renewable fuel tax credit fraud scheme He had so much money he couldn’t launder it all and started buying Lamborghinis, Bugattis, private jets, yachts, and mansions in Turkey, Huntington Beach, and Utah “Prosecutors say Lavon employed a team of corrupt law enforcement officers, including former DHS agent Felix Cisneros, also former Glendale detective John Saro Balian, and former FBI agent Babak Broumand” “One of the most audacious tax frauds in history. Levon was a Bel Air billionaire and gas station tycoon” But like always, it’s just another foreigner stealing our money The company was Washakie Renewable Energy They filed false claims saying they produced and sold hundreds of millions of gallons of qualifying biodiesel, most of which never existed or was recycled on paper. They submitted paperwork to the IRS claiming massive biodiesel output from their Utah plant, supported by falsified records. They created fake import records and transportation logs to make it look like they were legitimately producing fuel from waste oils and grease. Received over $511 million in actual IRS payouts They then laundered proceeds through billions in fake transactions across multiple bank accounts When they couldn’t launder the money anymore because it was so huge they started buying mansions and sports cars No American citizen should be paying a single cent in taxes

Real estate mogul Ben Mallah explains that you can eliminate your tax bill by borrowing money from the bank and buying tax-free municipal bonds👀 “Basically, by borrowing money from the bank, you eliminate your tax bill if you properly invest it” “Let's say I own a building. Tomorrow, I go out and I refinance the building and pull a million dollars out of it, right? Fine. I owe the bank another million dollars. That million dollars is going to cost me roughly about 60 grand a year, right? So now, that 60 grand a year is going to come off of my income that I made that I can write off, right? So the place made 100 grand a year, now it's only going to make 40 grand a year because I'm giving the bank 60 for that million bucks. So now, I'm going to write off that money and only pay tax on the 40 grand. But what am I going to do with that million? I'm going to put it in tax-free muni bonds at five. So now I'm going to get paid 50 grand, right? But the 50 grand is non-taxable. It's 50 grand. If I were to make the 60 that I'm giving the bank, I would have had to pay tax on it… 37%”

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem: "The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist." "I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra." Elon breaks it down: Step 1: Question the requirements. "Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question." Step 2: Try to delete it. "Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there." Step 3: Optimize or simplify. "The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete." Step 4: Speed it up. "Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist." Step 5: Automate. "And then the fifth thing is to automate it." Elon explains why the order matters: "I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."

@ribzoftiktok umm. self taught's roll is falling apart

Self taught would have gotten the food sent back

🚨Architects are going to hate this. Someone just open sourced a full 3D building editor that runs entirely in your browser. No AutoCAD. No Revit. No $5,000/year licenses. It's called Pascal Editor. Built with React Three Fiber and WebGPU -- meaning it renders directly on your GPU at near-native speed. Here's what's inside this thing: → A full building/level/wall/zone hierarchy you can edit in real time → An ECS-style architecture where every object updates through GPU-powered systems → Zustand state management with full undo/redo built in → Next.js frontend so it deploys as a web app, not a desktop install → Dirty node tracking -- only re-renders what changed, not the whole scene Here's the wildest part: You can stack, explode, or solo individual building levels. Select a zone, drag a wall, reshape a slab -- all in 3D, all in the browser. Architecture firms pay $50K+ per seat for BIM software that does this workflow. This is free. 100% Open Source.

@Polymarket He was 3 days late to make this an absolute historic announcement 🙃

BREAKING: Trump reschedules medical marijuana from a Schedule I to Schedule III drug.

once in a lifetime lol

@WallStreetApes @grok how much does your company need to make for this to be a feasible financial strategy?

This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax - For the last 20 years he’s had the same salary, $82,000 - He does this because a higher salary that would support his lifestyle would be subject to payroll and income tax, he doesn’t want to pay that - Instead all his money is in his stocks, those are never subject to any taxes as long as they aren’t sold - He takes out a loan and borrows against his stocks - The only money he’ll ever had to pay is the loan and interest on the loan This is common practice for billionaires so they avoid the majority or all of a personal income tax
