Hard-hitting column by @KristaKafer of the @denverpost on the #FarmBill: "Colorado led the way against farm animal cruelty. Now Congress will roll it back."
The time is now for Colorado's Senators to stand up for states' rights, humane laws, and family farmers. We must stop the #SAVEourBACONscam
"Now it’s up to @SenatorBennet and @SenatorHick to act on behalf of states that have humane laws. They should amend the recently House-passed Farm Bill to remove the provision or block the bill’s final passage."
In the words of Colorado State University animal sciences Professor Temple Grandin, 'We’ve got to treat animals right, and gestation stalls have got to go. Confining an animal for most of its life in a box in which it is not able to turn around does not provide a decent life.'"

A very interesting observation by Elon below. And it’s just one example.
Startups have brought more progress to the world this century than any NGO or government program. By far. When you hear NGO, think NoGO. They provide some incremental, mostly palliative care, but they don’t lead structural change for the better, and sometimes, achieve quite the opposite.
How can we do better? One idea: we should allow donations to corporations to be as tax-deductible as to NGOs. Unleash catalytic philanthropy.
I first had this thought when Larry Page reflected that were he to be hit by a bus, he should leave his entire estate to Elon Musk, instead of any non-profit he could think of, because he believes in the missions of SpaceX and Tesla and knows they are more likely to achieve their mission than any non-profit. And they become self-sustaining from internal cash flows; early donations are catalytic, and more rewarding to the donor than the unsustainable cost center inefficiency and waste of most NGOs.

Starvation from stopping agricultural equipment seems like a stretch. You have large cereal stockpiles for buffer, you have very good manual alternatives for equipment and most humans can survive on rationed food. The real dependency is on energy and transport. Just look at what people attack in war. They don’t burn farms. They take out critical transports routes and power.
Recent major famines have come when the state controlled food production. If we relied on AI for governance then this would be a much greater risk
@TheImmortalKop Issue with Thiago is that 2 of these “best moments” led to a goal scoring opportunity or opened up play. Thiago was a blunt knife on the field
In daily life, it’s easy to get swept up in routine and forget where we came from.
Seeing chimps in person is a powerful reminder of how inseparable we are from the rest of life, and how deeply it binds us together.
Grateful for people like Jane Goodall, who devoted so much to preserving our history and protecting our closest relatives.
FSD is going save millions of lives and give people back millions of hours of time
Congrats @ThomasAlxDmy and team on the launch and bringing this to the world
And just like that private beta phase is already over. 2 major metros and much more to come.
Every week there’s something new to discover on the robotaxi network !!
Software development is more than just coding.
Introducing Droids -- the world's first software development agents. 🤖
Starting today, Droids are available for general access.
Factory integrates with your entire engineering system (GitHub, Slack, Linear, Notion, Sentry) and serves that context to your Droids as they autonomously build production-ready software.
Factory is the first platform that allows you to work with agents: local + synchronous and remote + asynchronous.
