YOU WILL NOT GET RICH RENTING OUT YOUR TIME, not even at $500 an hour, because your lifestyle grows with your income.
You need equity: ownership in a business, investments, shares in a company, or a brand that increases in value over time.
In this clip from a U.S. Senate hearing on technology and America’s youth, Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath argues that classroom technology has hurt learning rather than improved it.
In 2015, ISIS kidnapped 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians working in Libya and later executed them on a Mediterranean beach because of their Christian faith. The men were ordinary migrant workers trying to support their families, yet even in their final moments they were seen praying to Jesus rather than abandoning their faith.
Alongside them was Matthew Ayariga, a migrant worker from Ghana. After witnessing the others refuse to deny Christ, he declared, “Their God is my God,” and chose to die beside them. Today, all 21 are remembered as martyrs, their story becoming a powerful symbol of faith and courage in the face of persecution.
Elon Musk’s next Texas megaproject could become one of the largest manufacturing complexes ever built
Tesla, SpaceX and xAI are moving forward with Terafab, a massive semiconductor manufacturing project planned for Grimes County, Texas, near College Station
The facility is expected to eventually cover roughly 100 million square feet, with an initial investment of about $16.8 billion
For perspective, 100 million square feet equals roughly 2,300 acres of floor area
The reason for building something this large is simple: AI requires enormous amounts of computing hardware
Tesla needs increasingly powerful chips for autonomous driving, Cybercab and Optimus humanoid robots, while SpaceX and xAI also expect massive future demand for computing power
Musk has argued that existing semiconductor manufacturers may eventually be unable to produce enough chips to meet the needs of his companies
Instead of relying entirely on suppliers such as TSMC and Samsung, Terafab is intended to bring much of the semiconductor supply chain together at one enormous site
That could include logic-chip manufacturing, memory, advanced packaging and testing — processes normally spread across multiple companies and factories
The long-term goal is even more ambitious: Terafab is being designed around eventually supplying more than one terawatt of computing capacity per year
The project is also expected to create at least 3,000 direct jobs, while generating additional demand for construction, infrastructure, housing and suppliers throughout the region
What makes Terafab especially significant is the level of vertical integration Musk is pursuing
Tesla already builds vehicles, batteries, energy systems, AI computers and robots, while SpaceX builds rockets, satellites and communications infrastructure
Now the companies are moving even deeper into the supply chain by attempting to manufacture one of the most advanced products on Earth: semiconductors
If Terafab reaches the scale being proposed, it won’t simply be another factory
It could become one of the largest industrial projects ever built in the United States
In this video from News Now Community, a driver says he already answered the Border Patrol citizenship question, but the agent says he couldn’t hear over truck noise. A simple checkpoint stop turns into a debate over rights, authority, and getting sent to secondary.
On @theallinpod , @Will4Planet said the game changes when launch costs drop to $200–$300/kg: sending compute to space could become cheaper than building it on the ground.
David Remnick of The New Yorker pressed Megan Romer, co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, on what she meant by wanting to “tax the hell out of millionaires.”
@VDHanson argues that some immigrant politicians lecture America on oppression while ignoring the violent histories of the countries their families fled. He points to Ilhan Omar and claims her family’s Somalia backstory makes her attacks on America harder to take seriously.
On February 1, 2024, Marion County Sheriff’s Deputy Christopher Witte responded to a report of a woman behaving erratically and attempting to take an elderly woman’s car keys at a shopping plaza along East Highway 40 in Silver Springs, Florida.
While the deputy was standing near the rear of his patrol SUV, 33-year-old Kendra Boone climbed through the open passenger-side window, moved into the driver’s seat and sped away. The entire theft unfolded in roughly 16 seconds.
Boone led deputies on a pursuit of approximately 4.5 miles, reportedly reaching speeds well above 100 mph. During the chase, she made multiple U-turns and eventually attempted to pass a semi-truck using the right shoulder. As she re-entered the roadway, she lost control, crossed the centerline and struck an oncoming pickup truck head-on.
Boone and two occupants of the pickup, 73-year-old Richard “Rick” Middleton and 72-year-old Diane Held, were pronounced dead at the scene. A third person inside the truck survived but was critically injured.
The incident later drew national attention after body-camera and dash-camera footage showed how quickly Boone entered the running patrol vehicle. It also raised questions about whether patrol cars should be equipped with secure-idle or remote immobilization systems that allow the engine to remain running without leaving the vehicle vulnerable to theft.
Quebec CCTV shows a tanker hauling refrigerated liquid CO₂ back up in live highway traffic after missing a checkpoint exit. Dangerous goods, cars swerving, and the penalty was only $1,600 CAD plus a 7-day licence suspension.
@AnnieJacobsen tells @joerogan that Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT-trained scientist, was allegedly tied to a terrifying bioweapon plot. She says officials found material in Siddiqui’s handbag that alarmed biodefense experts.
