@IdakaborJ @ianbremmer @RadioFreeTom You have a source, or are you just jacking off here?

The IRGC are hoping Trump goes ahead with his threats. They KNOW he is panicking. They KNOW it is to their advantage for the U.S. to constantly be the one committing war crimes decidedly. They KNOW the pressure on Trump Is greater once both sides starts focusing on power and energy targets and the context presents Iran as the underdog defender who is only responding in kind. Trump is a moron and has no business running a casino much less a war. But America made him President. You can rationalize that. But not the consequences.

i worry that tehran interprets this level of incoherence/inconsistency as panic.

@Camp4 So, you haven't driven a BYD ?

We did a family road trip to Taos this week. 5 hours each way. Our Model Y did 100% of the driving. Zero interventions. One 12-min stop each way to charge during a bathroom break. Two 25-min charges in Taos while shopping. $57 total. Three things: 1) Most people don’t know that self-driving is solved. It’s mind-blowing and alleviates a surprising amount of mental load. When the supervision requirement is removed, it will be an even bigger game-changer. 2) Once you drive a Tesla, all other cars feel like relics from a bygone era. There are lots of subtle features that you don’t notice until you drive a regular car again. 3) Tesla is light years ahead of all other automakers and that gap will only grow because no other car company can design from first principles.

@The_Real_Fly I'll wait until the end of his term to judge his results.

At this point if you’re not speaking out against Trump’s errors in judgment, you are complicit

@ProfMJCleveland Except in the south, it is now Buc-ees

For us mid-westerners, is a Bodegas the same thing as our inner city corner stores?

@BarackObama I think Hillary would disagree.

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

@MCCCANM It's like 150 miles from Miami, they could bring a ship load of goods by water.

The FAA defines how much a passenger & their carry-on bags weigh as a standard average for weight & balance calculations. If I recall correctly, it’s 190 lbs in the summer & 195 lbs in the winter. Let’s say 140 passengers. 140 x 190 =26,600. In their press release, they crow about delivering 6,000 lbs of aid. If they had just chartered a cargo jet & stayed home, they could have delivered more than 4x the cargo. The aid makes up less than a quarter of what the jet they chartered can carry, after fuel. These people are stupid & unserious, but I’m sure the Instagram posts of their vacation on donor’s money will get lots of likes.

@stepfanie Not judging. If I had a womb I would do the same.

@stepfanie So. Still no Elon baby? Keep trying.

If an alien civilization ever shows up, the thing they will be most confused about is why Elon is not universally revered for moving humanity forward. He has and will do so much. MASS DRIVERS ON THE MOON. SUSTAINABLE ABUNDANCE. I will never understand the hate. I literally cannot fathom it. Can anyone actually explain why people hate him other than RiCh mAN bAd?

@AdeleScalia That just pisses me off.

I might be the only grown adult/parent in the world who has to set an alarm for 9 am but it is what it is.

@MOSSADil This seems unlikely. The GBU 57's or the GBU 72's?

🇺🇸 U.S. B-52 Stratofortress en route toward Iran, reportedly carrying a full payload of 20 bunker-buster munitions. Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

@mike_lustgarten Is it the supplement, the core drug, or the combination? Studies on the supplement alone haven't thus far shown the danger. The core drug is known to be dangerous in certain cases.

It's studies like this why I treat supplements are a secondary, and last resort, not a primary approach Senolytic treatment induces oligodendrocyte dysfunction and demyelination in the corpus callosum pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41843680/

I have been following this stock for 10 years. It is neither investable or shortable to me. Financial analysis of this company is useless to predict the stock price. It is meme stock, it is a harvesting of subsidies stock, it is a cult stock, it has a creative inventor as the head of it. The only big investor that made a fortune on this stock is Ballie Gifford. They new something no one else did and got in and out of it at the right time. Stay away for the average investor.

YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. $TSLA remains a core short for me. PRESS IT!

@flightradar24 Very surprised brakes not smoking or on fire. It must have taken half an hour to get an airstair all the way out to the end of runway 7.

It appears #LH481 rejected its takeoff at high speed (highest received ground speed was 173 kt) in Denver. flightradar24.com/DLH481/3ed67f57

@hsu_steve That was a beautiful tribute to friend.

One of my closest friends passed recently of a heart attack, leaving behind his wife and children. He was an accomplished physicist, head of the physics division at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. These are my remarks for his memorial. William J Evans My condolences to the Evans family and to everyone who knew Will. Please let us remember his Christian faith. He is with God now. Will was a man of integrity and hard work and fine character. A great and true friend, someone you could always depend on. We are all richer for having known him. His loss will be felt for the rest of our days. We met at freshman camp at Caltech in 1983. We were boys then, not yet men. Callow, youthful, with so much yet to learn about life and the world around us. Will was serious but friendly, easy to get to know. We confided in each other about everything. It was the 1980s and we shared a love for Prince, Madonna, Bo Jackson, The English Beat. Our intellectual heroes were Caltech legends like Richard Feynman, Kip Thorne, Carver Mead, John Hopfield. We explored the mysteries of quantum physics and mathematics. Endless problem sets, working late into the morning, scribbling on the floor with books and papers all around us. But we were also explorers of the night world of Los Angeles. Clubs, UCLA frat parties, blonde girls with heavy eyeliner smoking clove cigarettes. To Live and Die in LA, a movie we all loved, provided the soundtrack as we hurtled through the darkness on the endless freeways. We were suckers for every coming of age movie and we both loved Parker Posey. Will and I were roommates during the 85-86 academic year, and again we were neighbors on the Charles River in Cambridge in the 1990s. His office faced the back entrance of Lyman-Jefferson, the Harvard physics building. I would always look in the window to see if Will was at his desk when I entered the building. It was a joy to stop in and shoot the shit with my best friend at Harvard. Cambridge MA: Sunday afternoon in the early spring, a house with a gigantic window facing trees and a green lawn. Mostly girls at the party - anthropology and literature PhDs, alumna of Smith College, drinking good wine from fluted glasses. After some time we looked at each other - Time to go. Suddenly the sky was full of fat snowflakes, falling in sheets from a blue white sky as we ran to his car. Immortal times, timeless days and nights of youth. My children can’t imagine my young life - probably true for the Evans kids as well. I want you to know that Will lived a full life, full of friendship and adventure, the joy of scientific discovery, and later the joy of family life. The world captured in those grainy photos really existed, even if it is long vanished now. We are all richer for having known him. His loss will be felt for the rest of our days.

@tropicalupdate Yeah, working on getting a 1972 Ford F250 roadworthy again. Gift from an uncle. That almost looks like an 8 Track tape. Not that I am old enough to know what one looks like.

Anyone relate to this lol. Actually some big success tonight. My baby from 2000 getting some love. Weather slow. Taking care of business. Back together tomorrow.

Subsidies. That is the only reason for the renewables. Big subsidies: Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Provides a 30% tax credit on the cost of qualifying solar and wind projects. The rate increases to 33.3% in 2024 and 34.4% in 2025 due to bonus credits for projects in energy communities or using domestically sourced materials. Small-scale projects in low-income communities or tribal lands may receive an additional 10 percentage point bonus. Production Tax Credit (PTC): Offers a per-kilowatt-hour subsidy for wind projects, phasing out over time. The PTC rate was 31.9% in 2024, rising to 35.1% in 2025 and 37.2% in 2026 due to inflation adjustments and bonus credits. Additional Incentives: Offshore wind projects can receive an extra 10% credit under the ITC if they use sufficient domestically produced iron and steel. Energy storage technology, microgrid controllers, combined heat and power, and biogas projects are also eligible for the ITC. Federal loan guarantees and grants are available through programs like the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) for farmers and rural cooperatives. State and local incentives (e.g., net metering, rebates) significantly supplement federal support. These subsidies are part of broader federal and state-level policies that have driven rapid growth in wind and solar deployment, with wind and solar receiving 94% of federal renewable electricity-related subsidies in FY 2022.

Reminder that Texas (owner of the Permian basin) is quietly running on 70% renewable energy.

@Jake_W That is an amazing statement about science today.

Paul Ehrlich was wrong. Re-upping this.

@TulsiGabbard This isn't 2020. The world has greatly changed.

Iran war is HIGHLY likely unless Trump swallows his pride & returns to the Iran nuclear agreement he tore up. But I fear he won’t put the interests of our country & those who’ll be killed in such a war ahead of his own pride & personal political interests. tulsi.to/prevent-war-wi…

@sentdefender He spoke to number 45. I heard it was in person.

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.
