i think when all the small account learn that tweets are not talking TO them.. we are talking THROUGH them. they might see the big picture..

A RETWEET MAKES A DIFFERENCE

hope it is not to late to save America

Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation!

This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.

The truth about Ellis Islanders.

- Around 2% were denied entry due to poor health or for holding anti-Christian ideology.

- 33% voluntarily returned home, because there wasn't welfare in the U.S. back then.

Orwell was a genius

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

One of the reasons we brought @xAIMemphis to Mississippi wasn’t just its record-breaking $20 billion investment.

It was also because the company is a great corporate partner that’s committed to giving back to Mississippi communities.

This is a great example of that.

Thank you, @elonmusk and @xai!

Elon Musk explains one of the most optimistic futures imaginable: Neuralink and Optimus restoring lost human abilities through real-world cyborg technology

And the first people this could help are the ones who need it most:
People who are paralyzed. People who are locked in. People who lost the ability to move, speak, or interact with the world normally like Stephen Hawking

Neuralink is already helping patients control computers and robots with their thoughts

"They can now communicate almost as quickly as we are communicating right now"

“That’s going to continue to accelerate”

But Elon’s next vision is even bigger:
Use Neuralink to read motor-cortex signals from the brain, combine that with sensory feedback from the somatosensory cortex, and connect it to Optimus-style robotic limbs

In simple terms:
A person who lost their legs could one day control robotic legs with their mind - just pure thought. No buttons or joysticks

Elon called it a real-life “Six Million Dollar Man” concept… but instead of being science fiction or insanely expensive, it could cost around $60,000

Neuralink gives the brain a digital output. Optimus gives the body robotic capability

Together, they could create a path for people to walk again, move again, communicate again, and regain independence they thought was gone forever

This is the future worth building

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.

What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?

[Krzysztof Szczawinski 🇵🇱 @Kristof_Poland]

Now The Fountainhead – arguably the better book:

1. There are two ways to exist: create from your own vision, or live by reflecting and pleasing others – Rand calls them the first-handers and the second-handers.

2. Howard Roark is an architect who will only build what he actually believes in. He starves rather than compromise the design. The world resists him constantly.

3. Peter Keating is the opposite – talented enough, but builds his entire career on flattering clients, copying styles, and climbing socially. He succeeds, but remains hollow.

4. The villain, Ellsworth Toohey, is the system made conscious: he deliberately promotes mediocrity, knowing that a world of second-handers needs a critic to tell them what to think – and that gives him total power.

5. Roark’s crime, in the eyes of that world, isn’t failure – it’s that he doesn’t need their approval. That independence is experienced as an affront.

6. The novel’s argument: civilization’s actual source is the rare individual who originates rather than imitates. Everyone else — including people who despise him — lives downstream of what he creates.

7. The Fountainhead is Roark himself. Not a fountain – a fountainhead: the original source, where the water actually comes from. Before the river, before the tributaries, before anyone else draws from it. The title says: find that person, and you’ve found where everything real begins.

Creating AI voice agents has become ridiculously easy

xAI’s Grok Voice Agent Builder lets you deploy a human-like voice agent in under 2 minutes - no coding required

It is currently in beta, but the stack is already powerful:
• Natural real-time conversations
• Sub-second latency
• 25+ languages
• Free phone number or bring your own
• Build and deploy directly from your browser

Combined with Grok’s industry-leading voice models, we are getting closer to AI voice agents that actually sound and respond like real humans

Grok Build just got another workflow-focused update, bringing smarter controls, improved reliability, and better performance.

Release Notes: v0.2.80 — 2026-07-01

Features:
• Command timeouts can now be configured per session with a foreground-only ceiling.
• Background tasks and TODO lists now survive compaction and remain visible to the model.
• Contextual hints can now be toggled individually for undo, plan mode, and image input.

Bug Fixes:
• Subagent dialogs now reliably show full transcripts on open and reopen.
• Recap blocks now copy only the summary body, not the header label.
• Vim navigation keys now type into dashboard prompts, and modals properly handle Esc/Left.

Performance:
• Network connections are now more resilient to proxy/load balancer drops.

My grandfather, communism, and the tremor that never left. A story I rarely share.

He was the principal of a private school; respected, steady, a man who believed in books and order. Then, one ordinary afternoon, his world ended.

A squad of communist troops stormed on to campus grounds. They herded the children out like cattle, set every book ablaze in the courtyard. “Less educated people are easier to control,” they believed.

They dragged my grandfather and his staff to the side of a dusty road, forced them to their knees, hands bound tight behind their backs. One by one, the executions began. The crack of pistols split the air. Each body fell with a heavy thud into the dirt. Each crack of the pistol meant it was getting closer to his demise.

My grandfather stared straight ahead as the man beside him collapsed. He felt the warm steel of the pistol press against the back of his skull. Time slowed. This was it, the final second of his life.

Then, fate intervened. He lifted his eyes and saw a column of troops marching down the road. At its head walked a general. A childhood friend.

With a scream of desperation, he called out his name. The general was startled but recognized my grandfather and immediately spared his life.

Tears streamed down his face. His entire body shook violently as he sprinted home. He grabbed his wife and children with nothing but the clothes on their backs and fled that very hour, leaving behind their home, their belongings, their entire life.

Everything was taken away by the regime in a single afternoon.
From that day forward, an uncontrollable tremor gripped his right hand. It was particularly noticeable whenever his emotions got the better of him.

The shaking never stopped. It followed him across oceans and time until the day he passed.

That is communism.

It is not theory, not idealism, but the pistol at the back of the head, the burning books, the shattered lives. Do not let anyone sell you a nightmare dressed up as a wonderful dream.

The people now sowing socialist and communist poison in America are exactly what President Trump warned: the greatest threat to our free world.

On this 250th birthday of the United States, let one survivor’s grandson say it plainly and without apology:

COMMUNISM MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 🇺🇸​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.
