PARTICLE HARASSMENT 68 TOTAL
You are the owner of
your children at Lockheed Martin.
If you are having me do all of this COUNTER TERRORISM WORK for you, can you at least allow me to work inside of an OFFICE while earning a SALARY,
and eat THREE MEALS A DAY?
Orbs give people cancer.
Orbs blind people.
Orbs cause massive car accidents on the freeways, over 80 cars crashing at once.
When harmful people are killed, what happens to their orbs?
Are you gathering them to avoid particle harassment?

The original frame for the US-AID debate was: "Evil space Nazi Elon Musk killed 14,000,000 people!!!"
*I and others pointed out that this is not possible, given that the global death rate only increased by 100k between 2024-25, and is expected to grow at ~that pace near future.
*Citizens then started pointing out that the cuts may have directly killed a few hundred people, and named some of them. In response, more rightist writers like @arctotherium42 noted that they also saved some lives, by decreasing the pool of fungible money used to foment violence in the LDC world. Notably, the cuts also saved billions of dollars.
Good or bad, in sum? THAT debate is interesting. But, getting there specifically required moving past the "14 million" sort of nonsense.

Q; are you threatening me when you cut down the trees?
A: si, para que te dé miedo.
At least 1,200 people died of heatstroke in France last Wednesday, mostly elderly people indoors.
Even crazier, about 70,000 Europeans die from the same every year, akin to a bi-weekly 9/11. Eurobros, please vote for leaders who will let you open your windows and install A/C!

Elon Musk reveals the moment his son Saxon left an entire sushi restaurant speechless
"I was living in L.A., and I took my older boys out for lunch to Sugarfish, which is a very kind of uptight sushi restaurant. In fact, on the menu of the restaurant, it says, do not ask for soy sauce, because the chef has put the right amount of soy sauce."
"So, like, extremely strict sushi restaurant. And so the waiter is going around asking everyone what they want and then it comes to Saxon and Saxon says I'll have a cheeseburger."
"And the waiter takes a moment to recover because no one ever asked for a cheeseburger at this very strict sushi restaurant. It took him like 30 seconds to realize he'd just been asked for a cheeseburger, because you're not even allowed to ask for soy sauce."
"So then when he finally recovered, he said, we don't have cheeseburgers. And Saxon goes at the top of his voice, what? Like, what kind of restaurant doesn't have cheeseburgers? He says, fine, I'll have a hamburger."

Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom.
We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇
Elon Musk predicts AI compute in space could become cheaper than terrestrial AI far sooner than most people expect....possibly within just 2–3 years
“Space has this advantage that it’s always sunny. I actually think that the cost of AI and deploying AI in space will drop below the cost of terrestrial AI much sooner than most people expect.
I think it may be only two or three years before it is actually lower cost to send AI chips to space than it is on the ground. Because in space you don’t need much in the way of batteries because of it’s always sunny.
And the solar power you’re gonna get at least five or more times the solar power you get in space versus the ground because you don’t have atmospheric attenuation or a day-night cycle or seasonality.
Ans in Space you don’t need heavy glass or framing to protect space solars from extreme weather events.
So as soon as the cost to orbit drops to a low number it immediately makes extremely compelling sense to put AI in space.”
