MrBeast just gave one of the strongest endorsements possible for Starlink:
“I will only book flights exclusively on planes with Starlink. I don’t care if it means an extra layover - I’ll sit in the back of the plane if it gives me Starlink.”
He says Starlink has become the backbone of his global productions and travels because it works in places where traditional internet simply doesn’t exist:
• Filming in Antarctica - one of the only reliable ways to stay connected
• Building wells deep in rural Africa with full internet access hours away from cities
• Driving through remote villages and open fields with a Starlink dish mounted on the vehicle while maintaining signal the entire time
He described it as:
“Starlink is literally magic. It makes no sense.”
Now people are actively choosing flights based on whether the plane has Starlink onboard
Jonathan Haidt dropped a pretty blunt warning about giving young kids iPads or phones.
He says we’ve all discovered how incredibly effective they are as pacifiers — they work almost instantly. But that’s exactly the problem.
40% of American two-year-olds already have their own iPad. Once a child gets used to constant stimulation, they basically never learn how to be bored. The moment they have even 30 seconds of downtime, they start screaming for the device.
Haidt’s advice is straightforward: If you haven’t started, don’t. If you already have, take it away. It might take 3–4 weeks for the brain to readjust, but it’s worth it.
He’s even hearing stories of preschoolers crying at drop-off — not because mom is leaving, but because the iPad is staying in the car.
It’s a sobering reminder of how quickly these devices rewire young brains and create real addiction patterns.
Have you noticed this with kids in your life, or are you trying to hold the line on screens with little ones?
@Delta I had the opportunity to ride on Skyteam partner KAL in 1st class. Excellent experience and, guess what? The slippers fit my feet! Unlike DeltaOne slippers. Imagine an Asian carrier with bigger (appropriate!!) sized amenities! Just a story and suggestion!!
MrBeast reveals once enough airlines start using Starlink, he’ll only book flights that have it
“Oh this flight has an extra hour layover? I don’t care, there’s Starlink. I’ll sit in the back of the plane if it gives me Starlink. I really don’t care, Starlink is amazing”
“Most people listening probably haven’t used it but for reference when I filmed in Antarctica the only way to get any signal was Starlink. We had this four hour drive in the middle of Africa, you put Starlink on top of the car and you get perfect signal the entire ride”
“And I think what Elon Musk is accomplishing with SpaceX, there’s no doubt it’s going to fundamentally progress humanity in unfathomable ways. In our lifetime, someone’s going to go to Mars thanks to SpaceX, I really do believe that”
This is Socialism.
This is what Maduro did to his people in 2019.
He had opposition protesters RUN OVER by armored military vehicles.
This is what the Democrat Party is defending.
This is what they want to do to you.
Do not let them win.
@AbiluTangwa The earth is 25% more green today than 30 years ago. The Sahara is now shrinking, not expanding. All thanks to CO2…so not at all and Thank you, fossil fuels!
