Put August 12 in your phone now. Genuinely.

Before sunrise, six planets spread across the sky. Afternoon, the eclipse. After dark, the Perseids Meteor shower.

Four events on one day, NASA says, and the new moon that same date keeps the sky dark enough to actually see the meteors.

You don't need a telescope for most of it. A field, a coat, and twenty minutes for your eyes to adjust.

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact.

Here's how we did it 🧵

AOC says "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You TAKE a billion dollars."

That's nonsense. Under capitalism you can only get rich by offering people something they want.

Here’s how capitalism makes most everyone richer:

In 2013, Time Magazine predicted “a world without bees.”

They’re totally WRONG.

Yet the environmental groups’ scare just won’t go away:

[Neura Pod – Neuralink @NeuraPod]

Phenomenal work being done by the Neuralink team to solve all brain problems

[Neura Pod – Neuralink @NeuraPod]

Neuralink just released a new video on their R1 surgical robot:
• Inserts 128 ultra-thin, flexible threads (each thinner than a human hair, ~1/10th the width) containing a total of 1,024 electrodes directly into living brain tissue
• Thread insertion now takes just 1.5 seconds per thread (major improvement from ~17 seconds previously)
• Real-time high-resolution vision system maps and actively avoids every surface blood vessel to eliminate bleeding risk during insertion
• Enables deeper thread placement (>50 mm), accessing many brain regions
• Redesigned needle cartridge is 95% cheaper to manufacture for high-volume production
• Engineered for compatibility with 99% of the global population
• Full procedure designed for precision, repeatability, and one-day “one-click” automation potential

@RealDonKeith Why do you repost these idiots and give them more exposure?! Stop it!

[Kelly Wray @KellyWray19]

@PJBrizzle @JohnStossel @TheJusticeDept And don’t give me any crap about a typo

[Kelly Wray @KellyWray19]

@PJBrizzle @JohnStossel @TheJusticeDept At least i’m not a hateful, ignotant Nazi who believes all the left-wing fascist propaganda. Like you. I’m referring to you in case you missed it. Go back and worship your lunatic “leaders” who tried to destroy our country during Covid and continue towards destruction.

[Kelly Wray @KellyWray19]

@PJBrizzle @JohnStossel @TheJusticeDept SPLC is a hate group. Pure and simple.

[Kelly Wray @KellyWray19]

@ValaAfshar There’s a big difference between education and today’s indoctrination system for moral outrage and unthinking hatred. That’s what is happening in our institutions of supposed higher learning. You’re better off being a tradesman and an autodidact.

[Kelly Wray @KellyWray19]

@elonmusk Why are you rehashing something from 2014!?!

[P8•N1CK @Telepath_8]

Big thanks to @Ricardokomotar and the rest of the gang from @UMneurosurgery! Such a great time last Tuesday getting to hang out and play some Mario Kart before the day of scans and cultures and questionnaires.

[Kelly Wray @KellyWray19]

@Dede_Watson @BoLoudon Sure if you’re also going to uncover all the illegal bribes and donations to the Clinton Foundation and investigate the Biden family’s illegal dealings with China, Russia and others.

@DarrigoMelanie You’re bad at math
