I’m telling you, it’s Atlas Shrugged in the present. I don’t think they are dead but rather building something in secret. I just hope it’s not under duress. It makes sense because the government has the frequency now to see the alien activity, so we cannot ignore it any longer. They are probably working to reverse engineer an alien spacecraft.

JUST IN: Another individual connected to top secret US nuclear research has vanished without a trace, Daily Mail reports. This is now the tenth person connected to top secret US nuclear research to go missing or die mysteriously.

The children are either sold, killed for fun, already dead, or even worse living sex slaves. It’s not like they are tagging them along to go grocery shopping or enrolling them in school. It’s hard to locate children that are not in the system, hence the argument for stronger borders saves lives, in particular for the children being smuggled across. The cartel, Venezuela, etc. all have surveillance and multiple people assigned to those task forces. ICE’s work is to find these predators of children and human trafficking. It’s sad they have such a bad rap because they do important work. I cannot believe there are that may sick people in this world that want to prey on children. It’s evil.

The United States government and military intelligence can locate and capture a cartel boss, determine exact locations, bomb and kill a prime minister of another country, or even walk into Venezuela and kidnap their president—but they can’t locate and rescue U.S. missing children or capture child predators.

Insurance companies always find a way to not pay! They have declined to cover all my damages from a recent storm. I’ve been paying over two decades with the same carrier AND if I had put that in the stock market, it would be $110-120k today! Why can’t they do the right thing??

@jjmmli I got a handful on my first cruise in the Caribbean — the skyline is Miami, followed by somewhere near the Bahamas and then the Atlantic.

I had an experience that made me think that. I was about to crash my car having taken an exit off the highway too fast in wet conditions. I couldn’t stop, so I tried to avoid the cars in front of me by going to their side and hit the wall at the curve of the off-ramp. I accepted it, cringed and closed my eyes. As I came to a stop, I opened my eyes, and my car was suddenly somehow between two cars, like I did some magic drift parking that I know I didn’t consciously maneuver myself. It was like it never happened. I still get chills when I think about it. I was certain someone reached down and guided my car like it was a hot wheel or something!

Can anyone explain what the deal is with all the missing scientists lately? We've had like 10 disappearances in the last two years, centered around nuclear weapons, fusion energy, advanced propulsion/rocket materials, asteroid tracking, etc. It seems like they're going missing from Los Alamos, NASA, JPL, MIT, Caltech, and the AFRL. It seems to be mainly clustered around New Mexico. What's the deal? It's too much to be coincidence. It's a legitimate anomaly. It's spooky.

Michelle Obama was in YS today. I didn’t know until I saw the entourage of black SUVs with police escorts go past my house. Dave Chappelle’s mother lives near me, so they stopped to meet her and Michelle took her some flowers. So sweet! 🌺 I understand they were in town to record an interview of Dave for her podcast. Big news last week was grand opening of a new building Dave funded for WYSO radio station.

One grandmother had a subscription for National Geographic magazines. She also ordered Highlights over the years and saved them, so I would read one’s as far back to the 50’s my mom/aunts/uncles read. My other grandmother had Reader’s Digest, which I loved because it had a nice variety of jokes and stories.

@KeruboSk When you no longer feel the overwhelming sadness when you think of them, but rather a sense of peace and love in your heart so grateful for those memories you have. Sometimes with a feeling they are there with you and you can imagine what they would say to you in that moment.

💯 Both vaccine shots made me more sick than I have ever been. I was unable to get out of bed for 3 days, do anything but lay there miserable, sheets wet from sweats, teeth chattering constantly. I dreaded the second shot, exactly the same thing all over again but it lasted only 2 days. And for what, I got the original strain anyways a year later traveling and suffered but nowhere as extreme - it just dragged on for weeks and I could not taste food forever. And then got second strain a few years after that, but that was just a cold.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

As an exchange student in Germany, my host brother went to the vocational high school, where I went to the one for students getting a diploma for university. At first, I thought it was too early at age 10 (5th grade) to decide which path one would take, but if the system is meant to test their potential early on, at least students are being educated at a speed towards something they will succeed at and others are not holding them back. Note: There is a way to skip across paths if someone is determined to.
Dustin@r0ck3t23

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.
