Love the outdoors and sports, especially boarding, all types of it. Also interested in tech. Want to live in a fair, caring society, that has a bright future.
🇫🇷 A French startup built a 40-gram drone that hunts mosquitoes mid-air, IDs them by their wingbeat, and leaves every other bug alone.
Tornyol's founders say a small fleet could clear a square kilometer and cut mosquito-control costs by up to 100x.
Their real target is malaria, and this flying bug zapper might just save a million lives a year.

They can easily add one more seat to the Model YL. Been waiting years now for a 7 seater EV with a decent boot and roof rack. Come on guys, one more seat. Pretty please with sugar on.... I'll continue to rock my 7 seat petrol guzzler for the mo, but I'd really like electron power, and Tesla software and safety 😢
Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.
The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.
Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.
Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.
They took until there was nothing left to take.
America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.
And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Not almost unprecedented.
It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.
The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.
Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.
That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.
Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.
No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has blood in its history.
But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.
It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.
When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.
By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.
Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.
The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.
They shaped the modern world.
AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.
1945 was the first test.
AI is the last.
That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.
The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
@RupaHuq Did you watch the game. That was never a red card. The issue is there should be a better system in place to challenge red cards. The problem is with FIFA. Good on Trump for asking WTF!
Cynical Brit here. Congratulations you bastards! May your success after splitting from us long continue!! Hoping us Brits can learn a thing or two from you lot, and start getting our shit together. Praying Restore get a big enough turn out at the next election, to turn things around!
With the Model YL hitting Japan, I was starting to get excited this year, thinking I might finally be able to buy a Tesla to fit all my family and stuff. I have 5 kids, but 2 of them are grown up and moved out. Nah, they still wanna come boating in the summer 🤣 Gonna squeeze an extra seat in the middle for me, I know there's space.... (BTW the X was never any good as it couldn't have a roof rack).
Most universities teach a pro communist view. Gender equality, climate change, wealth redistribution, critical race theory, rampant immigration, etc. So we’ve posted the first lecture from Peterson Academy’s course on (actual) Marxism here and on YouTube. Enjoy!
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?
The Optimus team photo with Elon equals natural diversity at its finest. People from every background, united by talent, drive, and excellence.
This is what merit-based hiring delivers: the best of the best inspiring each other to build the future.
DEI quotas, by contrast, promote resentment and hostility by prioritizing identity over competence.
True diversity flows naturally from excellence.
@elonmusk
@BasedMikeLee Seriously, it's the most important thing! Get it through!! It's literally saving America from the invaders. I'm a Brit in Japan. I'm not allowed to vote. That's FINE!
