@CitizenNobody1 @data_republican I have that in my Tesla…love it!

[ScubaStacy @StacyScuba]

@elonmusk Thanks man! Over the past few years I’ve been driving my Tesla (FSD = game-changer), relying on Starlink at my property, and loving Premium+. My life is genuinely easier, more fun, and productive because of it.
If my payments helped get you to trillionaire status… well, you’ve earned every bit of it. Keep building the future! 🚀

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

A lot of democrats crying about the fact that Elon is now a Trillionaire while ignoring all the value creation that’s required in order to get there.

We need to keep these people from controlling the government. They will stifle progress and innovation in this country if we let them.

There are moments when I sit with God and realize I don’t even have the words anymore.
No clear sentences.
No perfect prayers.
Just a tired heart that still turns toward Him.
I used to think I needed to say everything the right way. That I had to explain it all, organize it all, make sense of what I was feeling before I brought it to Him.
But I am learning He already understands.
He sees the weight I carry before I speak it.
He knows the thoughts that keep me awake.
He feels the quiet ache I try to hide behind strength.
And still, He welcomes me.
Not with expectation,
but with compassion.
So I come as I am.
With the worries I cannot fix.
With the questions that keep circling.
With the heaviness I am tired of holding.
And I place it all in His hands again.
Not because I suddenly feel strong,
but because I know He is.
I am learning that surrender is not losing control.
It is finally releasing what was never mine to carry alone.
And when I let go, even a little, something shifts.
My breathing slows.
My thoughts quiet.
My heart softens in His presence.
Because He is not overwhelmed by what overwhelms me.
He is steady.
He is near.
He is already holding what I keep trying to pick back up.
So tonight, I am choosing to trust Him again.
With the fear.
With the unknown.
With every part of me that feels worn.
I may not have the words.
But I have Him.
And that is enough.

@SteaknShake I’ve noticed many large companies (chains) and small businesses that have gotten into the excuse business these days! I’ve become very selective.

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.

But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.

You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.

When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.

We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.

People never fully recovered from the pandemic response.

Not just in terms of some people's health, but the economy, social and institutional trust, and overall mental wellbeing.

No questions were answered and there was never any accountability. So the loop is still open.

@elonmusk I love my Model S!
Thank You ♥️

@HustleBitch_ My husband has battled Parkinson’s for 10 years and recently had DBS surgery.
Still trying to find the balance between the implants and meds.

When this sculpture was unveiled in 1753, people refused to believe it was made of marble.

They were convinced the artist had used alchemy...

The veil draped over the body of Christ was rendered with such impossible precision that the only explanation was that some chemical process had been used to turn a real cloth into stone.

The sculptor was a 33-year-old Neapolitan named Giuseppe Sanmartino. He had carved the entire figure, including the veil, from a single block of white marble.

We know this because the original commission documents survive, preserved in the Historical Archive of the Bank of Naples. A receipt signed by the patron, Prince Raimondo di Sangro, dated 16 December 1752, refers to "the statue of Our Lord in death covered by a veil also of marble."

The patron himself only deepened the mystery: Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero, was a Grand Master of the Neapolitan Masonic Lodge and a practicing alchemist...

He had commissioned the sculpture for the Cappella Sansevero, his family chapel in the heart of Naples, a space he had spent his life transforming into one of the strangest interiors in Europe, filled with allegorical statues and symbols of esoteric knowledge.

The legend that he had laid a real cloth over the figure and "marbleized" it through a secret chemical process took root almost immediately. And it has never fully died.

But the truth is stranger than the legend. Sanmartino did this with a hammer and a chisel...

Antonio Canova himself tried to buy the sculpture. According to tradition, when he was unable to, he said he would gladly have given ten years of his life to have produced something of similar perfection.

The Marquis de Sade, passing through Naples, paused to praise "the folds, the finesse of the veil… the beauty, and the regularity of the overall proportions."

The Veiled Christ has not left the city in over 270 years. To see it, you have to go there. I have, and I can tell you that no photograph prepares you for the moment you stand in front of it.

Sculpture, at its highest, really is a kind of alchemy. The transformation of cold stone into real flesh. As Alexander Pope wrote: "Then marble, soften'd into life, grew warm."

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
