Her scream at the realization ‘they did it on purpose’ is such a painfully guttural sound. It’s what true horror sounds like when the human soul recognizes evil before the mind can comprehend it. The sound of her innocence being ripped away in an instant. It was taken from all of us that morning and we've never gotten it back. #neverforget but #weforgot

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Never Forget.

Our world is filled with heroes for those with the eyes to see.

[Sterling Snow @sterlingmsnow]

I reread this every year.

I cry like a baby every year.

Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.

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. Our plane has been hijacked.

Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?

Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.

Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.

Lisa: Are you okay?

Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.

Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?

Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.

Lisa: I promise.

Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.

Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)

Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.

Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.

Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.

Lisa: What are you going to do?

Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.

Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Twenty-five years ago, our Nation changed forever. But September 11 is remembered not only for what we lost, but for what we found: unity, love, courage, & an unshakable patriotism.

God bless America. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: OpenAI reveals a 10,000-agent AI swarm solved the Navier–Stokes problem in 88 hours, using 130 billion output tokens to crack one of mathematics’ most famous unsolved problems.

[FluxSingularity @HeinischJ]

More than any other mathematical achievement so far, this one blows me away.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

This is a big one.

(And yes, the fights over academic credit and what happened when in the race for the proof need to be resolved, but it is still a big one.)

I understand that this event is tragic and I do not want to downplay that BUT… this is a funny take.

Right. So the water argument didn’t hold any… water?

🚨🇺🇸 CAR@LHO, QUE LAPADA! 🔥🔥🔥

CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...”

Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?”

CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...”

Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.”

CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...”

Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?”

CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.”

Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.”

CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...”

Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?”

CNN: “Você está polarizando.”

Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”

[FluxSingularity @HeinischJ]

@elonmusk Correct. Many, many people die from other sources of power. Nuclear is safer than rooftop solar, statistically

[FluxSingularity @HeinischJ]

Ok, this could be *extremely* useful in the nuclear industry. We could use this in preventative maintenance to great advantage.

[FluxSingularity @HeinischJ]

A wonderful explanation of something that many of us take for granted

[FluxSingularity @HeinischJ]

This is the kind of thing that all big companies should do. Amazing work by @SpaceX

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

BREAKING: SpaceX will contribute up to $220 million to improve water and wastewater infrastructure across Brownsville and Cameron County, according to an official announcement from the City of Brownsville.

The agreement includes:

• $40 million placed in escrow upfront
• Six quarterly payments of $30 million
• Up to 8 million gallons of water per day through water reuse and wastewater reclamation
• Up to 10 million gallons per day by expanding the Southmost Regional Water Authority plant
• Funding restricted to approved projects and released as milestones are completed

Together, these projects could add around 18 million gallons of water every day.

SpaceX will receive no ownership stake in the water system, and the contribution is not a prepayment of utility bills.

SpaceX isn’t just building rockets in South Texas. It is helping build infrastructure that could strengthen the entire region for generations.

@elonmusk @grok @bot I find that @bot is useful for tedious, repetitive tasks like updating my Obsidian vault with consistent YAML, for example. @grok is useful for everything else. Big problems, creative thinking, engineering work, etc.
