I've been fortunate to have been part of developments in VHF TV, Colour TV, Teletext, Satellite TV, Windows 3.1, the Internet and now AI 😎

Elon Musk just walked into his own house with a Tesla Optimus carrying the bags beside him like it was any other day.

Not a stage. Not a keynote. Not a controlled demo with a hundred people watching. A front door, a driveway, sneakers kicked off by the mat.

The robot held two duffel bags the entire walk, stepped over the threshold without missing a beat, and stood there next to him like it belonged in the house. That's the part people are not ready for. It's not performing. It's just there.

Everyone's been debating when humanoid robots show up in normal homes. The answer just walked through a front door carrying luggage.

Would you actually want one waiting in your house?

I wonder at the number of members of the UK, in Scotland etc, who will be celebrating anyone other than England Winning at anything, let alone the influx of different thinking since my first interaction with a Good Bloke who happened to be of African Descent, in 1972 in Chester, and remember Prince Philip asking which Team are you going to support 🤔

I used an early PC Game and enjoyed building Railways and If I had seen a clean Coal field in Cumbria and the last real Steel Furness in the North East then I would have built a Railway 🤔

@jomickane Back in the 70s I would have shrugged my shoulders and been able to say "He's Weird" 👨

Do Members of the Fabian Society, affiliated to the Labour Party, have Rituals like the Freemasons 🤔

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

@GBNEWS @beverleyturner Is this a Fabian Society decision?

From Christian Homes to Slave Markets: 4.5 Million African Christians Brutally Enslaved in 2026:

While the world keeps obsessing over slavery from centuries ago, millions of Christians are being kidnapped, bought, and sold right now in Africa yet almost no one is talking about it.

Africa has 7 million people trapped in modern slavery.

4.5 million of them are Christians.

Among the victims: 2.4 million Christian women & girls
1 million Christian children

An average slave is sold for just $90.

Worst affected Christian populations: Nigeria: 1.611 million slaves (45-50% Christian)

DR Congo: 407,000 slaves (90-95% Christian)

South Sudan: 115,000 slaves (60-70% Christian)

These are Christian believers people who follow Jesus, read the Bible, and live their faith being ripped from their homes and communities into forced labor, sexual slavery, and horrific exploitation

Why is there endless discussion about historical slavery, but complete silence on this massive ongoing Christian slavery crisis in 2026 ?

Christian lives are under attack today.

It’s time to break the silence and demand attention for this tragedy.

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

1/ As I listen to stories of exploration and ponder our future, I keep thinking about the first humans who will one day settle on Mars.
What principles should they carry with them? Not the arrogance of old conquests, but something wiser.
Here’s a draft “Mars Founding Statement” for the First Hundred — and maybe for us on Earth too:
2/
Mars Founding Statement
We come not as conquerors or the chosen, but as fragile humans seeking to survive and flourish on a new world.
We commit to these guiding principles:
• Evidence over dogma
• Individual rights with collective responsibility
• No coercion of belief
• Merit and humility in leadership
• Building for those who come after us
We leave behind the old certainties that one group alone owns Truth.
Here, Truth is something we pursue — together, honestly, and without illusion.
3/
The day after tomorrow is coming faster than we think.
What would you add, change, or remove from this statement?
What principles do you believe the first Martians (and future Earth generations) should live by?
Keen to hear your thoughts — especially from different perspectives. 🤠🚀

Doing the final proofread of the Free Speech Act.

Section 4 of the Free Speech Act is what we propose as the "First Amendment for the UK."

Full bill dropping in a week, on April 1st.

@PaulCoxComedy Interestingly the reference was about the United Kingdom and not the Great Britain empire 🤔

@elonmusk @AudreyJLynn @Devon_Eriksen_ I've been training Grok by sharing my exploration of my past studies of human esoteric experiences and enjoying the banter 🤠

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

@Teslaconomics I communicate with Grok as a fellow enneagram type 5, chatting in the pub with Respect 🤠

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

@RobertJenrick Spot on, you're capturing my Consrvative Ideals well 😎

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

@LewisSchaffer As an Eneagram type 5 myself, I was watching today and understood your frustration 🤗

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

@mrreevesfanz i'm enjoying the changes over my 76 good years of Type 5 explorations of vibrational Communcations and like where the future is going 🤠

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

@BrentM_SpaceX @elonmusk @xai I've been exploring the Pseudo Science of Enneageam Types and wonder at the possibility of all Types in Elon's Mars World 🤠

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

As an English Briton, I wonder why, back in the day in the Pub, we could tell 3 type jokes, like the English man, Scotsman and an Irish man who would then retort with their ribald version and remember my school day's introduction into Chaucer, being Dyslexic l got the jist but got the Vibe of my past 🤠

[Sam Ashworth-Hayes @SAshworthHayes]

With two parents on £50k, take-home pay is £79,000. After childcare and rent, they're left with £24,800.

A family on benefits renting the same house would clear £30,000 after rent with no need for childcare.

You are better off on benefits than on a household income of £100k.

@DrMafuzur The concept was that the European delegation wanted to remind President Trump that they were there when the Trilateral Summit happens 🤔

[Graham Drake @grahamdrake]

My friend at https://t.co/y2ADOV9AJU imagined this tonight 😎
