We should never forget our grandparents’ generation and their courage, and what they sacrificed for us in the USA.
I keep a signed copy of this D-Day message by General Eisenhower in my home office. What those great men endured should inspire more from each and every one of us.
In the 1980s, the US produced 80% of global enriched uranium.
Today that number is zero -- and we rely on Russia instead!

Rome’s Hidden Miracle
The ceiling of Sant’Ignazio di Loyola isn’t curved…
It’s completely flat. Andrea Pozzo’s 17th-century trompe-l’œil masterpiece tricks your eyes into seeing infinity.
Pure magic.
I will take absolutely no lectures about "divisiveness" from the people who gave us two-tier policing, racial hiring quotas and endless race-baiting.
Unlike you, we do not kneel.
.@JTLonsdale’s best lessons from Peter Thiel—How to win by finding signal in the noise:
“Effort on any project is convex: If you spend 80% of your time focused on something—that’s half as good as spending 90% of your time. It’s that last bit of effort.”
“Being 99th percentile is worth so much more than being 90th percentile, because it means you’re number one.”
“And being number one is worth a lot.
“Anything I invest in—someone really amazing is making it their main thing. The CEO has to be all in.”

I think a lot of people have woken up to the conclusion that the only way to burn off the woke mind virus is to actually not care about racism or about being racist at all.
Pretty soon, if it’s not already happening, anyone crying about racism will met with the default response:
“So what?”
Do you really want white people checking out like this? Because this is the predictable, exhausted endpoint of weaponizing race for power.
Believe me when I say that we will all come to miss the days when the word ‘racism’ actually meant something, back when white people still cared about not being called racist.
Gen Z guys are already there. Once that word is completely drained of any real meaning or moral weight, we’ll all rue the day we let it happen.
Historic policy change and win!
Housing First didn't fix homelessness - it created a funnel for NGO grift, and bad incentives.
We've been saying this for years. Now it's federal policy.
Good breakdown from @CiceroInstitute on the biggest change to homeless policy in decades.
There was this girl in my middle school - let’s call her Bird Girl - who lived in her own world.
Every break, every lunch, every stolen moment between classes, she’d be glued to the window or draped halfway over the balcony railing, binoculars pressed to her face, making eerie, flawless bird calls toward the trees.
Mynahs answered her. Crows cawed back. One afternoon a hawk actually circled low over the basketball court while she let out this low, throaty whistle. The whole class went dead silent for a beat… then erupted in laughter.
We were brutal.
Kids shouted “Tweety!” down the hallway loud enough for everyone to hear. Teachers rolled their eyes and snapped at her to stop staring out the window and “focus.” She wasn’t into boys, lip gloss, or whatever trends we were all chasing. She was deep into ornithological facts. She was so weird.
In eighth grade, that was social suicide.
Looking back, it makes me cringe. Because I'm old enough now to recognize that how a society treats kids with weird interests and obsessions reveals a lot.
Would we shame the obsession out of her? Force her to shrink until she fit the mold? Or would we let her stay strange?
America, at its best, has usually chosen the third option. Not perfectly, not always. But enough for the weird ones to survive and eventually thrive.
The kid coding games instead of chasing parties. The teenager out in the garage building drones on weekends. The quiet girl collecting worms and soil samples outside.
Conformist cultures crush that spark early. They treat outliers like defects, but what they really are is the next breakthrough. Or perhaps the next startup. Maybe the next big star. The next moonshot that started with some kid getting roasted for talking to pigeons.
Weird is an asset.
It's great for Samuel that his classmates and now the internet are celebrating him.
