Don’t dominate the rap jack if you’ve got nothing new to say.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Here is what we know: U.S. taxpayer money, funneled through USAID and NIH, funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely caused the COVID pandemic that killed millions and cost trillions.

Dr. Fauci personally signed off on these experiments, then lied to Congress about it. Biden tried to protect him with a last-minute pardon. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

@Brandon7921588 @GratefulDead She likes both songs but I clarified and that’s what she wanted lol

Waiting in car to drop oldest daughter off at last day of pre-k because she requested brown eyed women by the @GratefulDead and we need to listen to the whole thing…so proud, can’t teach that in school

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@optionscjp So I can wakeboard and golf. Long live Juneteenth.

That’s the last thing anyone wants, government taking our kids at an even earlier age. That money will just come out of working people’s pockets in the end. I bet you do know this.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

🚨 WOW! NBA Commissioner Adam Silver just went full TRUMP MODE at Madison Square Garden

"He was a FIXTURE at Madison Square Garden...he had courtside seats, here ALL the time. He was at drafts. He's a GENUINE Knicks fan." 🔥

"The arena is packed. People got through extra security...we should be using sports to create MORE community, not less!"

The left did NOT want to hear that 🤣

[Evan Kurzman @evankurzman]

Cool video

[Joe McBride @McBrideLawNYC]

Trump was attending Knicks games before many of these he shouldn't attend Game 3 clowns were even born.

[Sean Fitzgerald (Actual Justice Warrior) @IamSean90]

The way this headline is written you'd never know that Mamdani is shortchanging NYC pension funds by $15 billion over the next 8 years so he can spend it on stupid stuff during his term(s) & this will create a $24 billion pension deficit for the next Mayor when they take office

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

Kathy Hochul: Can Donald Trump even name the "1993 Knicks championship team" that doesn't exist??

President Trump: Literally catching Charles Oakley in his arms while sitting courtside in the '90s.

This poor boy was running away from someone who stabbed him & stole his phone, but the police in the UK attacked him instead of his murderer!

Powell is objectively one of the worst fed chairs in history, probably only above Burns and Miller. And he’s going to stay on the board 🤦🏻‍♂️. So righteous, makes me want to puke.

Very emotional.

“Non-sequitur non-sequitur non-sequitur confiscation.”

If they use the apartments do you waive the brand new shiny tax you promised not to impose but we all knew you would anyway? Yeah, I didn’t think so, so shut your socialist pie hole.

And who are these people hurting and how? Please don’t say “using up the housing stock” as a) there are like 19 of them, b) you support rent control so you obviously HATE the housing stock.

Btw, people wanting to buy super expensive properties and then not use city services are a boon not a bane. Sorry if that confuses you and your buddy’s DSA broken brain.

And it’s these these blue state fang dripping moron socialists or Trump. That is our world. Those are our choices. Well done electorate(s).

Blue states and cities are zombies. The undead. They just haven’t fallen to the ground yet as nobody can find their brains to end them.
