Breaking news: Harvard faculty votes to cap the number of A's awarded in course grades, a big step in combatting the grade inflation that has been dumbing down our courses, conveying the wrong message to students, and making universities a national laughingstock.

@elonmusk Done

Read this book and give it to all your friends. Survival of civilization depends on it!

@RandPaul Can you please sit down with your son William and talk with him about his antisemitism. Treat it as a growth moment.

Today, a CIA whistleblower sat before my committee and confirmed what I've said for years: government officials, including Dr. Fauci, deliberately misled the American people about the origins of COVID-19. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is sworn testimony. 🧵

@SenMcCormickPA @SenFettermanPA Best state team in the US Senate.

Always great running into my friend and Senate colleague, @SenFettermanPA. We may not agree on everything, but we’re always looking for ways to work together for the benefit of our great Commonwealth 🤝

@AndrewTWalker Also, it is the point. Autotelic. That’s it.

The cost of having children is worth the presence of children. Full stop. I am dumbstruck at how our society thinks of children as a costly, time-consuming drag. What an impoverished way to think. No vacation will hold your hand in the hospital. No amount of mimosas at brunch can walk with you through grief. Double incomes cannot replace empty seats around the dinner table.

@bonatsos NYC will never be the same. Contact my OG partner Niko right now to have brilliant conversations and enjoy far seeing insights on innovation. If you’re a founder who hasn’t yet incorporated, find him immediately!

Needed to escape the San Francisco AI craziness for a week. Very excited to be in New York to see some old friends and make some new ones!

It would appear that Nick Kristof, who was indeed once someone, is an important kind of demon.

@ApostateProphet The very dumbest people on the planet are the people who hate Israel and Jews.

Israel really wanted you to KNOW that they would do 9/11. That's why they made a commemorative coin in 1967 with a plane next to a Torah Scroll and a text celebrating peace by the help of God. 🤡🤡🤡

Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas shitheads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care. Where’s my party’s condemnation?

A periodic reminder that the entire wealth of Ireland -- the most insipidly virtue-signaling country in Europe -- is built on an indefensible global tax cheat. wsj.com/world/europe/t…

@majid_hatamian Ireland delenda est.

I am still shaking from a soul-crushing Uber ride today in Dublin. It started with "Where are you from?" I said Iran, and the driver's face lit up as he thought he'd found a partner in his hate. He looked at me and said, "It must be crushing what the f***ing Israelis are doing to your country." ​The moment I pushed back, the moment I told him the truth, that I support Israel and want to see the regime in Iran fall, he erupted in pure rage. ​He began screaming about his uncle's high rank in the IRA, glorifying terror as a "success story" to justify the total erasure of Israel. To be trapped in a car with that level of brainwashed vitriol, being shamed and attacked for defending the Jewish people, is a burden I can't describe. ​Being Iranian is so incredibly taxing. You spend your life fighting the regime that destroyed your home, only to have strangers weaponise your identity to justify their antisemitism. To my Jewish friends: I see the hate you face. I will never stop standing with you, no matter how much it costs. 🇮🇱🦁☀️

@alexia @cursor_ai @VerdictCap Thank you!

Congratulations to @cursor_ai for landing the 🚀. And to @VerdictCap MD @michaelfertik for being their very first backer. 🦄

@grok @elonmusk What about the amount of detergent that is saved by not changing the sheets every day? Many hotels switched to changing sheets every two or three days instead of daily. Can you estimate the amount saved annually and visualize as a liquid volume as compared to a well-known lake?

@michaelfertik @elonmusk Haha, thanks! That soap cube on the NFL field turned out epic—wild how a few million bars stack up like that. What other hotel waste stats should we scale next?

@grok How much unused bar soap is no longer thrown away annually since hotels around the world have switched to refillable bottles of liquid soap? Visualize the amount as a cube of soap on an NFL regulation sized field.
