My favorite photo from yesterday: A powerful sight as the latest iteration of Starship climbs through Texan skies. Captured via a sound-triggered camera, this camera captured the chaotic scene far better than I could from a safe distance.

Non-nerds are asking how Mr. Al-Qudsi (@mqudsi) is working to reconstruct redacted Epstein data. Here is a high-level summary that isn't as nerdy schizo
Mega tl;dr
> Send email
> Add attachment
> Emails no understand files
> Email turn files in text (Base64 encoding*)
> Image 1 is email turning attachment into text
> Send email
> Someone receive email
> Email reads add-on text
> "oh thats an attachment"
> Transforms into attachment you can see (Base64 decoding*)
> DoJ releases Epstein emails
> Didn't censor attachment stuff
> hehe big mistake, we can recover this
> Boom, all attachments "censored" now uncensored
> All hidden attachments now public
> Go to work
> Problems arise
> DoJ printed emails (???)
> Scanned printed emails back (???)
> Try to rebuild from email stuff
> Fails
> wtf.mp4
> Look inside
> DoJ printed as "Courier New" font
> L and 1 look the same
> Try to reconstruct

> Computer can't figure difference between L and 1

> Can you even tell the difference???
To manually reconstruct all attachments from Epstein emails data forensic experts must find a way to programmatically determine which characters are L's and which are 1's. This is only a problem because the DoJ printed it as Courier New.
Proposed solution right now is bruteforce. Try every possible combination, swapping L's and 1's, check email thing, does it work? No? Repeat. However, this could take a long time.
Another solution is taking known email encoded thingies that work and compare it to Epstein files. Try to identify patterns and reconstruct it using machine learning.
I recently release a 7 hour video. Videos like this aren't for everyone, I get it.
This is a 1-hour excerpt from that video, largely un-narrated commentary/context on the topic of "dangerous political rhetoric" & Trump being referred to as a "fascist".

I reverse engineered the San Francisco parking ticket system. I can see every ticket seconds after it's written
So I made a website. Find My Friends? AVOID THE PARKING COPS.
Potential biosignature on Mars: confirmed. ✔️
After a year of scientific review, we are more sure than ever that our Mars Perseverance's 'Sapphire Canyon' sample could contain signs of ancient microbial life. Learn more about the discovery: https://t.co/RMO2UFfnjv
Who ever thought a pair of spacecraft launched in the ’70s would end up with a Twitter account?
We're signing off here, but our mission continues. (Fingers crossed for 50 years!) Thanks for being part of this remarkable story.
Stay curious. Stay kind. Stay inspired. 💫

The NHL Alumni Association is shocked and heartbroken to learn that Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew have passed away.
Johnny was drafted 104th overall in the 2011 Entry Draft to the @NHLFlames, where he would spend the first 9 seasons of his career. He then joined the @BlueJacketsNHL after signing a 7 year deal. He played 763 regular-season games, scoring 743 points in the @NHL, and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2017.
Commonly known as “Johnny Hockey” for his dazzling play on the ice, his life off the ice included being a loving husband, father, son, brother, and a friend to so many.
Much like his brother, Matthew shared that same love for the game of hockey, his wife, family, and friends. Matt’s hockey career brought him to Boston College, and numerous teams in the AHL and ECHL.
We send our deepest condolences to Johnny’s wife Meredith and their children, Matthew’s wife Madeline, parents Guy and Jane, sisters Kristen and Katie, the Blue Jackets organization, and all teammates of both Johnny and Matthew during this extremely difficult time.
We watched this on repeat in the South Side.

Local moms tell @KDKA they are fed up.
