@johncusack How was the NJPAC show? I'm 5 mins from Morristown. Creating, building, innovating, he will be in the history books forever, what do you want to be remembered for?

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.

Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.

Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”

Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”

No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.

Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.

Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”

Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”

Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.

The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.

It disappears.

That should not scare you. It should focus you.

Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.

Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

@SenWarren Stop talking about what u would do with other people's hard earned money and go create something without tax payers money

@HunterBiden And what if the "people" wanted it there? Don't make this about one man. The people that voted him in wanted it there.

@KevinCastley C'mon...do you really have to ask?
Mayor: Brandon Johnson (Democrat), elected in 2023.c49855
City Council: 50 alderpersons. 48 are Democrats, with 2 independents (aldermanic elections are officially nonpartisan, but party affiliations are well-known and overwhelmingly Democratic)

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year.

ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.”

One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year.

Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year.

P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’”

“The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.”

“A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.”

“It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.”

“Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”

This is WILD!

Tom Mueller. SpaceX employee #1, the man who built the engines and his 0.06% stake is now worth approximately $1.11 billion (Save this).

But the number undersells the story.

Mueller grew up in St. Maries, Idaho, population 2,500, the son of a logger who wanted him to follow the same path.

He spent four summers cutting timber to pay his way through engineering school, then moved to California with nothing but a degree and a passion for rockets.

He spent 15 years at TRW, one of the biggest aerospace companies in the world, watching his ideas get diluted inside a bureaucracy so he started building engines in his garage at night as a hobby.

By early 2002 he had built the largest amateur liquid-fuel rocket engine in the world, 80 pounds, 13,000 lbs of thrust and moved it to a friend's warehouse.

That's where @elonmusk found him.

Fresh from selling PayPal for $1.5 billion, Musk walked into that warehouse and asked one question: "Can you build something bigger?"

Mueller never fired that original engine, he took it back to his garage, where it still sits today.

Instead, he joined Musk on May 1, 2002 becoming employee #1 on the SpaceX payroll.

What followed was 18 years of building what became the most reliable rocket engine ever flown.

The Merlin engine, designed from scratch powered Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Dragon.

The Merlin 1D holds the thrust to weight record for production rocket engines and it enabled the first ever propulsive landing of an orbital rocket booster, which is what made reusability possible, which is what made cheap access to space possible, which is what made Starlink possible, which is what made today's $2.1 trillion IPO possible.

Mueller also started the early development of what became the Raptor engine, the full flow staged combustion methane engine that powers Starship, which no American aerospace company had ever successfully built before.

He retired from SpaceX in November 2020 but he got bored within six months so he founded Impulse Space, building space tugs to move payloads around once they're in orbit, and planetary landers to deliver cargo to Mars.

What an incredible story!

@mark_slapinski @nytimes Hahahaahah while you're here, pls send me a few bucks .. MarkieMark u trigger baiting little man ...

[boosh @bryceboosh]

The post dramatically exaggerates and fabricates by claiming the NYT "dropped the BOMBSHELL" proving Trump raped children with Epstein and that his administration ran a cover-up to protect him. This is not what the article reports. The "cover-up" framing comes from critics (e.g., Democrats calling the internal meetings and resistance to full releases a cover-up), but the article itself portrays standard (if clumsy and panicked) political damage control.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Institutions are inefficient.

Experts are overrated.

Capital should flow toward builders.

Technology compounds.

Independent thinking wins.

AI is the new Climate Change.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

With Climate Doomerism fading, AI Doomerism will become as the central organizing catastrophe on the Left. It justifies their takeover of the economy and especially the information space. And it has enough pseudoscience and Hollywood storytelling behind it to seem compelling.

[boosh @bryceboosh]

@aroog1278 Yes

[boosh @bryceboosh]

The post shares a "Trump Effect" graphic claiming large price jumps since Biden left office: gas from $3.13 to $4.59/gallon, electricity 17.5¢ to 22.7¢/kWh, crude oil $70 to $124/barrel, plus rises in heating oil, coal, beef, and bread.
Replies and analysis flag several overstated figures, such as crude oil closer to $96/barrel and electricity around 17.7-18.8¢/kWh, with recent energy spikes linked more to global supply shocks like the 2026 Iran conflict than domestic policy alone.
It highlights partisan inconsistency in attributing inflation, where the same economic pressures drew heavy blame under Biden but now prompt defenses or external explanations under Trump.

[boosh @bryceboosh]

The post praises NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for closing a $12 billion inherited budget deficit to zero in his 2026 executive budget without cutting social services.
Mamdani's $124.7 billion FY2027 budget used state aid from Albany, higher taxes on the wealthy, operational savings, and deferred pension payments to balance the books.
Skeptics note the fix depends on external state funding and timing shifts rather than permanent spending controls, echoing common critiques of short-term budget maneuvers.
