@mattyp feature request: let couples share one Grok Bot. My wife and I want a single Meal Prep Mandy for our family. Team bots need Cursor Teams at $40+/seat ($80/mo for two), and forked copies drift apart. Household sharing on individual plans would be huge.

Remembering The Heroes of 9/11

TODD: Hello? Operator, listen to me... I can’t speak very loud – this is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco, we have a situation here. Our plane has been hijacked, can you understand me?

LISA: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand… can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?

TODD: No.

LISA: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?

TODD: There are three that we know of.

LISA: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?

TODD: Yes… they don’t have guns… they have knives; they took over the plane with knives.

LISA: Do you mean, like steak knives?

TODD: No, these are razor knives… like box cutters.

LISA: Can you tell what country these people are from?

TODD: No... I don’t know, they sound like they’re from the Middle East.

LISA: Have they said what they want?

TODD: Someone from the cockpit announced that there was a bomb on board. He said that he was the captain, and to stay in our seats, and stay quiet. He said that they were meeting these hijacker’s demands, and returning to the airport… It was very broken English, and I’m telling you… it sounded fake.

LISA: Ok sir, please give me your name.

TODD: My name is Todd Beamer.

LISA: Ok Todd… my name is Lisa... Do you know your flight number? If you can’t remember, it’s on your ticket.

TODD: It’s United Flight 93.

LISA: Now Todd, can you try to tell me exactly what happened?

TODD: Ok. Two of the hijackers were sitting in first class near the cockpit; a third was sitting near the back of the coach section. The two up front got into the cockpit somehow, and there was shouting. The third hijacker said he had a bomb. It looks like a bomb. He’s got it tied to his waist with a red belt of some kind.

LISA: Is the door to the cockpit open?

TODD: No, the hijackers shut it behind them.

LISA: Has anyone been injured?

TODD: Yes… They… they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting, we don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.

LISA: Where is the third hijacker now Todd?

TODD: He’s near the back of the plane. They forced most of the passengers into first class, there are fourteen of us here in the back. Five are flight attendants; he hasn’t noticed that I slipped into this pantry to get the phone. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor in the rear of the plane. Oh Jesus… help.

LISA: Todd; are you ok? Tell me what’s happening.

TODD: Hello.. We’re going down… I think we’re going to crash. Wait - wait a minute. No, we’re leveling off… we’re ok. I think we may be turning around… that’s it - we changed directions. Do you hear me… we’re flying east again.

LISA: Ok Todd… what’s going on with the other passengers?

TODD: Everyone is… really scared. A few passengers with cell phones have made calls to relatives; a guy, Jeremy, was talking to his wife just before the hijacking started. She told him hijackers had crashed two planes into the World Trade Center… Lisa is that true?

LISA: Todd… I have to tell you the truth… it’s very bad. The World Trade Center is gone. Both of the towers have been destroyed.

TODD: Oh G-d... help us!

LISA: A third plane was taken over by terrorists. It crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Our country is under attack... And I’m afraid that your plane may be part of their plan.

TODD: Oh dear G-d, dear G-d… Lisa, will you do something for me?

LISA: I’ll try… if I can… Yes.

TODD: I want you to call my wife and my kids for me and tell them what’s happened. Promise me you’ll call.

LISA: I promise - I’ll call.

TODD: Our home number is 201-333-1073... You have the same name as my wife… Lisa... We’ve been married for ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her that I love her.. (choking up). I’ll always love her… (Clears throat) We have two boys; David, he’s three, and Andrew, he’s one... Tell them… (choking up), tell them that their daddy loves them and that he is so proud of them. (Clears throat again). Our baby is due January 12th… I saw an ultra sound… it was great… we still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy… Lisa?

LISA: (barely able to speak) I’ll tell them, I promise Todd.

TODD: I’m going back to the group... if I can get back I will.

LISA: Todd, leave this line open; are you still there?...

LISA: (dials a phone number)... Hello, FBI, my name is Lisa Jefferson, I’m a telephone supervisor for GTE. I need to report a terrorist hijacking of a United Airlines Flight 93… Yes I’ll hold.

GOODWIN: Hello, this is Agent Goodwin, I understand you have a hijacking situation?

LISA: Yes sir, I’ve been talking with a passenger, a Todd Beamer, on Flight 93 who managed to get to an air-phone unnoticed.

GOODWIN: Where did this flight originate, and what was its destination?

LISA: The flight left Newark, New Jersey at 8 a.m. departing for San Francisco. The hijackers took over the plane shortly after takeoff and several minutes later the plane changed course - it’s now flying east.

GOODWIN: Ms. Jefferson… I need to talk to someone aboard that plane. Can you get me thru to the plane’s phone?

LISA: I still have that line open sir, I can patch you through on a conference call, hold a mo…

TODD: Hello Lisa, Lisa are you there?

LISA: Yes, I’m here. Todd, I made a call to the FBI, Agent Goodwin is on the line and will be talking to you as well.

TODD: The others all know that this isn’t a normal hijacking. Jeremy called his wife again, on his cell phone. She told him more about the World Trade Center.

GOODWIN: Hello Todd, this is Agent Goodwin with the FBI. We have been monitoring your flight. Your plane is on a course for Washington, DC. The terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. Our best guess is that they plan to fly your plane into either the White House or the Capital Building.

TODD: I understand… hold on… I’ll… I’ll be back.

LISA: Mr. Goodwin, how much time do they have before they get to Washington?

GOODWIN: Not long ma’am. They changed course over Cleveland, they’re approaching Pittsburgh now. Washington may be twenty minutes away.

TODD: (breathing a little heavier) The plane seems to be changing directions just a little, it’s getting pretty rough up here. The plane is flying real erratic… we’re not going to make it out of here. Listen to me - I want you to hear this - I have talked with the others and we decided that we won’t be pawns in the hijackers suicidal plot.

LISA: Todd, what are you going to do?

TODD: We’ve hatched a plan. Four of us are going to rush the hijacker who has the bomb. After we take him out, we’ll break into the cockpit. A stewardess is getting some boiling water to throw on the hijackers at the controls. We’ll get them, and we’ll take them out. Lisa, will you do one last thing for me?

LISA: Yes… what is it?

TODD: Would you pray with me?

They pray:

Our father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive our trespassers,
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, For ever.
Amen

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters
He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

TODD: (softer) G-d help me. Jesus help me (clears throat and louder),

Are you guys ready?...

Let’s Roll...

A stunning testimony from political economist Dr. Toby Rogers, PhD, before the U.S. Senate. He dismantles the official narrative on the autism epidemic with data, evidence, and a powerful personal story.

In 2015, his then-partner's son was diagnosed with autism. As a PhD student at the University of Sydney, he went to the CDC’s website to understand the causes. Trained to read primary sources, he found the CDC’s narrative did not add up.

➡️ Genetics? There’s no such thing as a genetic epidemic.
➡️ Valproic acid & thalidomide? Largely irrelevant to the U.S. population.
➡️ Older parents? The math doesn’t come close to explaining a 32,158% increase since 1970.

He changed his entire doctoral thesis to study the political economy of autism. His groundbreaking work is now among the top 10 most downloaded PhD theses in the history of the University of Sydney.

His findings:
• 22 studies claiming vaccines don’t cause autism are useless—none have a true unvaccinated control group.
• Over $2.3 billion spent on genetic research has found almost nothing because genes don’t cause sudden epidemics.
• 437 publications on environmental factors (pesticides, pollution, etc.) all ignore vaccines as a possible confounder, rendering their conclusions incomplete.

The critical missing piece? Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed studies.
He cites 6 key, suppressed studies that the media ignores:
• The Hepatitis B birth dose increases autism risk (Gallagher & Goodman).
• Vaccination increases odds of autism by at least 4.2x (Mawson).
• Preterm birth + vaccination increases neurodevelopmental disability by over 12x.
• Vaccination + no breastfeeding increases risk 12.5x. Vaccination + C-section increases risk 18.7x (Hooker & Miller, 2021).

His conclusion, after a systematic review of 1,000+ studies: "The autism and chronic disease epidemics are primarily caused by toxicants, mostly from vaccines, and about a dozen additional toxicants."

The solution is clear: stop exposing children to these hazards.
The obstacle is political, not scientific.
We must summon the will to act.

Holy - look at this.

Senator Rick Scott just disclosed trades more than a year late.

They were worth $26,000,000. You did not read that wrong.

He traded millions on companies he legislated.

Unusual.

We spent the last two weeks sounding the alarm on purchases of defense stocks by politicians on armed services committees.

The US just carried out strikes on Iran.

Regardless of opinions on the attack, I think most would agree that Congress should not be trading defense stocks.

This is the only and acceptable pattern that i see since the 2012 Halving.

1 cycle of 1 year and after that 1 cycle of almost 1.5 year.

Then, repeat.

From Halving to entire Crypto top.

Last cycle we had 154 days of initial pump followed by 238 days of consolidation, leading to the bull run which lasted 630 days to the top.

This time we had 154 days of initial pump followed by 238 days of consolidation, leading the bull run..

But this time is different? How?

If trend follows, which it completely has so far we could see the #BTC top July 2026.
