Elwood P. Dowd :

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."

Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

[David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh]

Listening with great respect to @netanyahu on Fox. Always impressed with his brilliance, his genuine goodwill toward America, & Israel’s strong friendship and alliance with America as long as he’s PM. I know how unpopular this is in some circles & that doesn’t bother me a bit.

Every week, these strange white crates leave a high-security Tesla compound in Lathrop, California.

They’re showing up near the Hoover Dam. At an Air Force base in Georgia. In the heart of New York City…

An estimated 4,000 of them are now spread across 48 locations in 14 states. And more roll out every week.

But you won’t see this on CNBC, and you won’t read about it in the Wall Street Journal.

Because these mystery Elon crates have nothing to do with electric vehicles, space, social media, crypto, biotech, robots, or AI…

The “mystery Elon crates” are Tesla Megapacks — grid-scale battery storage units being deployed across the country for utility, military, and commercial energy projects. Tesla is quietly building the backbone of America’s grid-storage infrastructure while everyone’s distracted by culture-war bullshit — but it is the actual story worth paying attention to.

No secret technology. No hidden invention. Just the most boring, most profitable, and arguably most important thing Tesla does — hidden in plain sight.

@StockSavvyShay @fiscal_ai 170 to 247 is NOT a double.

In 1942 this was more than a song and more than a dance.

It was a shared experience and mood.

This is a perfect example of having a President without principles that guide him.

The idea of arming Turkey, the sworn enemy of Israel, is looney tunes.

This is one the Senate should block, both Democrats and Republicans should agree on this.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

FWIW, DON'T DO IT

The sale of our top F-35 jets and jet engines to the terrorist-supporting, Putin ally, and Iranian aligned Erdogan is simply indefensible.  He is actively threatening Israel and Greece (which is also a NATO member).  The Islamist thug has destroyed Turkish society.  He has been sanctioned by our Congress for acquiring S-400 advanced mobile SAMs from Putin.  Is this sale in violation of the sanctions?  I checked this morning.  Erdogan has not returned the SAMs to Russia.  

Hamas is not disarmed (Phase II of peace plan) and Iran is still kicking and receiving billions.  Why arm up Turkey, which has greater ambitions in the region, and add fuel to the fire?  Its NATO membership pre-dates Erdogan and is no excuse for selling him any of this advanced weaponry.  His intention is to re-create something akin to the Ottoman Empire.  Let's not do what even Biden wouldn't do.

The specialists seem to think that the anti-CD20 drugs are better, stronger in RRMS than Tysabri.

That may be true. But I have seen first hand in my wife what Tysabri has done, as well as a few others. It is a miracle drug, IMO.

But then JCV causing PML is a killer. I sometime wonder how patients would do if when the JCV titers rose they took a break to let the immune system knock it down and then returned to Tysabri. Or alternately there was some treatment for JCV.

[zipjet @zipjet]

PML at 1:1,000 in Tysabri was unfortunately missed until the drug was approved. But saving 999 even at the loss of 1 is a win IMO. FDA handled the PML cases well, withdrawal and reintroduction with JCV testing. Tysabri has saved hundreds of thousands with RRMS.

[Martin Shkreli @MartinShkreli]

this is worse than Vioxx IMO. mistakes happen in medicine: fen-phen, rezulin, tysabri PML, baychol, etc.

but this is a case of an intentionally adultered dataset to make billions of dollars. it has to be shown the harshest possible treatment.

Prefect explanation of Karp’s warning.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

David Sacks broke down on the All-In podcast why Alex Karp's CNBC outburst was not a meltdown but a warning, and then laid out exactly how Anthropic is running the same playbook Microsoft used to kill an entire generation of software companies.

The media called Karp unhinged.

Sacks said the opposite. Karp was describing what enterprise customers actually want.

Control over their compute, their models, their data, their alpha. Ownership of the means of production.

Then he named the proof.

Anthropic's chief product officer sat on Figma's board. He did not resign until 3 days before Anthropic launched Claude Design, a direct competitor.

Figma's stock is down 50 percent this year.

Sacks called it a pattern. Claude Code, Claude Science, Claude Security, Claude Legal, Claude Financial. Every vertical where a customer built value on top of Anthropic's model got absorbed by Anthropic itself.

Word Perfect and Lotus 123 got replaced by Excel and Word.

Nobody who went to bed with Microsoft in the 80s woke up with their business intact.

What do you think?

DTE provides electricity and natural gas to southeastern Michigan. Major storms have caused disruptions, as is common in the US midwest during summer.

@ksorbs He is resisting arrest, that is a crime most places and should be punished. Even if he was being wrongfully arrested, he should cooperate.

Alex Karp on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani:

“Obviously someone who has no work experience ever, who has views that have never worked, should not be put in charge of the most important enterprise of its kind, maybe in the world.”

@MartinShkreli I nominate @MartinShkreli for $PFE CEO.

the $PFE pipeline is so sad. they need to put this company out of its misery.

Very fine story of valor.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

Nobody wanted him on their crew.

For six weeks, 31-year-old Sgt. Maynard “Snuffy” Smith sat grounded at an airfield in England while other B-17 crews flew combat missions.

He was older than most of the airmen.

Stubborn. Prickly. Hard to like.

When a crew finally took him, it was because they had no better option.

On May 1, 1943, Smith flew his first combat mission over the German U-boat pens at Saint-Nazaire, France.

On the return flight, disaster struck.

German fighters and anti-aircraft fire ripped through the B-17.

Fuel tanks exploded.

The aircraft caught fire.

The oxygen system failed.

Three crewmen bailed out, believing the bomber was doomed.

Smith stayed.

For nearly 90 minutes, he battled flames that threatened to tear the aircraft apart.

He wrapped a sweater around his face to breathe through the smoke.

He fought the fire with extinguishers.

He treated wounded crewmen.

He manned machine guns to fight off attacking fighters.

Then he went back to the fire.

Again.

And again.

As ammunition cooked off around him, Smith threw burning debris from the aircraft to keep the flames from consuming it.

Against all odds, the crippled B-17 reached England.

It landed safely.

Moments later, the bomber broke apart on the runway.

The crew survived because one man refused to quit.

For his actions, Maynard “Snuffy” Smith became the first enlisted member of the U.S. Army Air Forces to receive the Medal of Honor during World War II.

The irony?

Around the time he received America’s highest military decoration, he had also been disciplined for a minor infraction and was reportedly assigned to kitchen duty.

He never fit the image of the perfect soldier.

He wasn’t polished.

He wasn’t popular.

But when everything was on fire, he became exactly the man his crew needed.

History is full of heroes who were overlooked—until the moment it mattered most.

The IDF found this book in a school in southern Lebanon.

It teaches children how to execute the infidels.

This is what Israel is fighting against.

This is why Israel must destroy Hezbollah.

[zipjet @zipjet]

Really? “civilian targets”?

It is quite unlike Russia hitting apartments, hospitals and theaters. Those are civilian targets.

Russian refineries directly support the war, fuel missiles, and fund the war machine. I would not call those civilian targets, but even if you do, you must agree they are characteristically different than apartments and hospitals.
