My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.

Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home.

We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars.

A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

@TylerAlterman No-self vs true-self is a centuries old debate between traditions

And then there is the question of what is authenticity, which different people have different definitions of. Here is one

Fable and I rewrote Box3d entirely in native cuda. It's about 30x faster on my GPU compared to my CPU (depending on the situation).

This was my hardest benchmark. I still had to be there, but soon I won't. Cost me about 200 dollars

It’s about to get very strange folks.

@TVachaW Congrats! 💜

Sounds mighty awesome 👏

I’ve dieted with Noya Rao, but I’d never seen one in person. I’d love to visit - can you point me to where I can find it?

@DarrenJSmith Yeah, I get flashbacks when someone talks about it or if I hear a good medicine song. Haven’t touched anything in 18 months. But I meditate a lot.

I’m curious, why do you want to make ayahuasca-and-back the core of your personal brand?

Today I discovered not only that there is such a thing as a quokka but also that my whole life I've been missing a quokka.

@OortCloudAtlas @FU_joehudson I think the correct frame of "completely feeling emotions" is digestion.

The way our cells take in sustenance, extract energy and discard waste - our emotional system takes in psychosomatic information, extracts clarity and insight & discards ignorance and toxicity.

[Apostol @iamapostol]

Two of my favorite meditation leaders talk to each other in this amazing episode. My heart was bursting with love as I was listening.

I really enjoyed the meeting of perspectives on working with emotional system - some overlap and a lot of complementarity.

More of this, please!

New Deconstructing Yourself podcast is live! In this episode, I speak with @FU_joehudson! We had a great time with this conversation.

Host Michael Taft and guest Joe Hudson explore the crucial difference between awakening and liberation: why insight on the cushion does not automatically free us in relationship, shame, self-talk, or emotional reactivity. Joe reframes emotional practice as a path of awakening, inviting us not merely to accept difficult emotions, but to love them, feel them somatically, and discover the intelligence hidden inside. Together they unpack the “golden algorithm”—the emotions we most avoid are the ones we unconsciously keep recreating—and show how negative self-talk often masks unfelt fear, anger, or shame. Practical conversation about what happens after awakening, when the old wound is triggered and freedom has to show up exactly where we are least willing to feel.

Amanita pantherina, has the same active ingredients like Amanita Muscaria but 10x more. Handle with care

[Apostol @iamapostol]

There’s a caveat tho - it has to be steered by someone who has done the process before and achieved earned secure attachment, ideally coming from complexly disorganized. There is transmission element there.

I’m working with these guys https://t.co/YApAJPLVD7

@vividvoid It does and it’s glorious. You see projections being redirected from real people to the IPF figures. The projections arise and are instantly met by the ideal mother and father and fulfilled by them. A kind of love that you’ve never experienced or knew was possible.

@vividvoid Make EU friendly workshops as well pls

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

May Europe one day wake up and start striving for this level of capitalistic homerun. Dump the degrowth nonsense, celebrate progress, and once again reach for the stars.

@vividvoid Sitting like a mountain regulates the nervous system and helps digest difficult emotions.

That helps you be more of whatever you need to be in your life.

That’s said - doing Meditation without a serious movement practice is somewhere between wasteful and dangerous.

[Apostol @iamapostol]

@vividvoid I didn’t realize he was fucking his patients. Wild!
