Hundreds of people stuck at concourse A trying to get on the train to the other concourses after being required to walk to A to access to the rest of the airport. People missing flights and panicking. @DENAirport
@elonmusk Thank you, @elonmusk - the four of us glimpsed the red hues of Mars far in the distance as the sun slipped behind the Moon and there was zero doubt in our minds that the creative genius of our greatest minds will have us there very soon. LETS GO
The Artemis II crew explains to a young viewer why it can be hard to see stars in outer space.
Question: "I wonder, do you still see stars in outer space?"
Jeremy Hansen: "Yeah, I was actually just talking to my crewmates about that today. I've definitely seen stars in outer space, and I was saying I haven't as many as I thought I would. Reid?"
Reid Wiseman: "We have so much illumination from the sun on the moon and the earth right now, it is hard at times to see stars, just like when you walk out in the daytime, you see a blue sky but no stars."
As Artemis II continues its journey, it’s a good moment to recognize the army of a team behind that it takes to undertake such a mission.
From the engineers and technicians who built the systems, to the launch team, Mission Control, and the recovery crews preparing for splashdown - and everyone behind this mission.
Thank you to the workforce making this mission possible every single day.
Been watching the news 📺 on #ArtemisII. I feel like it’s the 1960’s all over. ☝🏻We must keep our thoughts about our brave Artemis astronauts for their reentry. From what I understand this is going to be tricky. There have been some stories about the heat shield, and the change of angle of entry. A very big deal is about to happen. Reentry is so dangerous, so precise. All my thoughts will be with them as they return to earth.🌎 🙌🏻
This hints at why traveling is so important. Sitting at someone else’s table, eating a new food you’ve never experienced, seeing sights with your own eyes that you only saw on TV, learning about someone’s else life breaks down the same barriers that Carl is talking about below.
Be proud of where you come from and who you are but make the effort to see, learn and appreciate life from someone else’s perspective.
NASA has published some of the best footage yet showing yesterday’s launch of Artemis ll, the first manned mission to the Moon since the 1970s, lifting off from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, Florida.
Colorado RB Rashaan Salaam needed 204 yards in the Buffs' final regular season game of 1994 to become the fourth Division I player to run for 2,000 yards.
He put up 259, and crossed the 2K barrier with a 67-yard TD that sealed him the '94 Heisman Trophy 🦬#RBRespectMonth
Yesterday Mark Cuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and told me to keep telling my story.
So here it is.
I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. 15 years pulling wire in Kentucky. Zero coding background. I didn't go to Stanford. I went to trade school.
Every week I'd show up to a home where someone just bought a Tesla or a Rivian. And every time, someone had already told them they needed a $3,000-$5,000 panel upgrade to install a charger.
70% of the time? They didn't need it.
The math is in the NEC — Section 220.82. Load calculations. But nobody was doing them for homeowners. Electricians upsell. Dealers don't know. And the homeowner just pays.
I got angry enough to build something about it.
I found @claudeai. No coding experience. I just started talking to it like I'd explain a job to an apprentice. "Here's how load calcs work. Here's the NEC code. Now help me build a tool that does this."
6 months later — @ChargeRight is live. Real software. Stripe payments. PDF reports. NEC 220.82 calculations automated. $12.99 instead of a $500 truck roll.
I'm still pulling wire. I still take service calls. I wake up at 5:05 AM for work.
But something shifted.
Yesterday @vivilinsv published my story as Claude Builder Spotlight #1. Mark Cuban saw it. The Claude community showed up. And for the first time, I felt like this thing I built in my kitchen might actually matter.
I'm not a tech founder. I'm a dad who wants to coach little league and be home for dinner. I just happened to build something that helps people.
If you're in the trades and thinking about using AI — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try.

What became apparent during free agency this year is how much teams covet draft picks for next year. The strategizing for the 2027 NFL draft already is underway.

NASA does not have a top-line problem. We receive roughly $25 billion in annual appropriations, including more than a $10 billion plus-up from President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. If that is not enough to run a lunar exploration program and do all the other things across science and discovery, then what is the right number?
We don’t need to blame budgets or continuity of decision-making as the common excuse, as if a billion dollars is somehow not a billion dollars and troubled programs should perpetually stay troubled programs. NASA, like the federal government, cannot spend our way out of every problem, nor can we perpetuate bad decisions.
That means not getting spread thin across too many imposed endeavors or jumping straight to the “dream state,” which is how everything becomes over budget and behind schedule.
Instead, we concentrate on the needle-moving objectives, the reason NASA exists in the first place. We execute with urgency, in an iterative and safe way, and empower the workforce and our partners to get the job done.
That is how we changed the world on July 20, 1969, and it is how we will do it again. Expect more from NASA and start believing again.
Anthropic just said no to the Pentagon. Then their biggest rival backed them up.
The Department of War gave Anthropic a 5:01 PM Friday deadline.
Drop the safeguards against mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. Or lose the $200 million contract and get labeled a supply chain risk.
Amodei: “These threats do not change our position. We cannot in good conscience accede to their request.”
“Supply chain risk” is a designation typically stamped on foreign adversaries. It would have derailed every critical partnership Anthropic has.
He held the line anyway.
Then Sam Altman went on CNBC.
Altman: “I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies.”
The two fiercest rivals in AI just drew the same red line in public. Simultaneously. No coordination. No joint statement.
Just two competitors independently concluding that some lines cannot be crossed.
Altman: “For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety.”
Altman and Amodei declined to clasp hands in a group photo at India’s AI summit last week.
Today Altman defended him on live television.
70 OpenAI employees signed an open letter titled “We Will Not Be Divided.” Google engineers voiced support.
The industry unified in hours.
Trump responded on Truth Social with a six-month federal phaseout of Anthropic’s products.
Here is what this moment actually is.
The two companies building the most powerful technology in human history just told the government there are uses of that technology they will not permit.
Not for $200 million. Not under threat of the Defense Production Act. Not under any pressure the government can apply.
Mass surveillance of Americans. Fully autonomous weapons operating without human oversight.
These are the lines.
The architects of superintelligence just declared they answer to something beyond the contract.
That has never happened before.
The U.S. Government and Pentagon under Pete Hegseth has now effectively blacklisted Anthropic, as well as it’s language model Claude AI, which is currently being used as a backbone by several defense systems, while listing the company as a “supply chain risk,” a label not even placed on a majority of defense contractors or companies working for the Armed Forces of China and Russia. All because Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that would allow the Pentagon to develop weapons that fire without human involvement and commit mass domestic surveillance directed at Americans.
Below is the note that I sent to the NASA workforce today as we release the report on the Starliner Crew Flight Test Investigation.
We will achieve success through extreme ownership, immense competence, and decisive action.
