POV: It takes hard work to look this good. 😉✂️🚜🌳 The grass doesn't mow itself at Unity Park. The weeds don't leave on their own. The shrubs don't trim themselves. Seeds aren't magically planted.
JUST IN: Nvidia founder & CEO Jensen Huang has been left off TIME’s “100 Most Influential People in AI,” while Paris Hilton & Bernie Sanders made the cut.
I bought this 1989 25’ Boston Whaler for peanuts at a police auction in 2001 when the Federal Park Service sold its Lake Mead patrol vessels to make room for new equipment from the post-9/11 Terror War windfall. My kids grew up on Chumbucket, the perfect craft for fishing, skiing, diving, wakeboarding, etc. She is stable and rugged, with a steel strip down the center keel that makes her safe to beach. If you hit a rock, the rock will break. Every autumn, my kids drove her down Long Island Sound and up the Hudson to overwinter in Ossining. #GetOutside #LiveRealLife
“Always look on the bright side of life…”
Remembering the incomparable Tim Curry, seen here as King Arthur in Spamalot.
A true master of his craft who lit up every stage and screen he touched. His extraordinary legacy will live on forever.
He will be greatly missed.

Starbase, Louisiana is going to be absolutely enormous
~125,000 acres
~195 square miles
For scale:
• ~148× Central Park
• ~123× Golden Gate Park
• ~3.7× Denver International Airport....the largest airport site in North America
• ~2.6× Acadia National Park
• ~84% the size of Zion National Park
• ~8.5× the land area of Manhattan
One of the largest airports on Earth would fit inside Starbase Louisiana almost FOUR times
SpaceX is building an entire Starship ecosystem....propellant, power, processing, shipping, an airport and launch infrastructure for a future where Starships fly at industrial scale
Elon is building the infrastructure for humanity to seriously expand beyond Earth
Anyone betting against SpaceX building a massive spaceport in southern Louisiana has not been paying attention to what has happened in Starbase over the last decade. And SpaceX now has exponentially more funding and far fewer restrictions at the proposed site.
Tesla just upgraded Grok in the car to the #1 speech-to-speech AI model in the world
The new Tesla Summer Release brings Grok Think Fast 2.0
And this is much bigger than just having a better voice assistant
Grok can now actually interact with the car:
• Adjust vehicle settings
• Guide you through controls
• Navigate and change destinations
• Make phone calls
• Search and play music
• Adjust temperature
• Answer questions about your Tesla
Grok Think Fast 2.0 currently sits #1 on Artificial Analysis’ Speech-to-Speech Index, combining speech reasoning, agentic performance, human preference and task success
Basically, instead of digging through menus to figure out your Tesla...you can just simply tell Grok what you want
Tesla is putting frontier voice AI directly into the car
And this is only the beginning of what Grok inside Tesla will become
