An armed man rips a mother’s keys away and jumps into her car with her baby still inside, right outside a Chick-fil-A. A employee named Mykel Gordon hears her screaming, sprints out mid-shift, drags the guy out of the vehicle, and wrestles him to the pavement, taking punches to the face the whole time and refusing to let go until help arrived.

That’s not just doing his job, that’s putting his own body on the line for a total stranger and her baby in the span of seconds.

Would you have run toward that, or is that a different kind of instinct most people don’t have?

Confrontation during an interview with the Iranian crown prince:
German journalist asks Pahlavi: Are you an Israeli agent?

Prince Reza Pahlavi: NO, but my grandfather gave refuge to Jews when you burned them in the ovens.

Nah, this looks weather related.

[Ron Rule @ronrule]

In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets.

People rejected this.

We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive.

The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.

We found part of a Flock camera in floating in the water at Hecklinger Pond Park. It's one of the Flock cameras that were cut down on Burger Street.
We're working to learn more about additional Flock vandalism incidents in the area >> https://t.co/rynRzMbxVO

The lack of fresh fruit and clean sheets aboard a Aircraft Carrier is totally unacceptable. Heads should roll over the appalling living conditions.

Lmao. In 1986, a U.S. Navy helicopter crew pulled off a great prank.

As the USS America was being relieved by the USS John F. Kennedy in the Indian Ocean, sailors from HS-11 acquired three piglets, dyed them red, white, and blue, covered them in grease, and dropped them onto Kennedy’s flight deck from a Sea King.

To add another layer to the prank, the helicopter crew numbered the pigs 1, 2, and 4.

🚨 THIS YOUNG MAN IS A HERO.

Fourteen-year-old Acie Holland III was riding home from school, looking at his phone, when something felt wrong.

The bus had passed his stop.

Then it began accelerating.

Acie looked toward the front and saw the driver unconscious over the steering wheel. The moving bus, carrying 14 students, was drifting across the centerline toward oncoming traffic.

Acie did not scream.

He did not freeze.

He did not wait for an adult to save them.

This eighth grader ran forward, seized the steering wheel, guided the bus back into its lane, moved the driver’s foot from the accelerator and pressed the brake until that enormous bus came safely to the curb.

He could not find the parking brake, so he turned the wheels hard toward the curb to prevent the bus from rolling away.

That is presence of mind under pressure.

Then Acie checked on the younger students, told them to contact their parents, made certain 911 had been called and went to get his grandmother, Phyllis Holland, who is a nurse.

The driver regained consciousness and received medical care. Every student made it home safely.

Acie had worked on cars with his father and enjoyed go-karting, but nothing could have completely prepared a 14-year-old boy to take control of a moving school bus.

Something had already been built inside him: courage, mechanical understanding, responsibility and the instinct to protect others.

His classmates gave him a new name:

“AC-Hero.”

That name fits.

While the world spends enormous energy telling us what is wrong with young men, Acie Holland III reminded us what can be right with them.

Fourteen students reached home because one young man recognized the danger, stepped forward and acted.

May God continue to strengthen this remarkable young man.

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

Most nineteen-year-olds who drop out of college do so because they can't hack the coursework, or afford the tuition, or just prefer to play video games in their parents' basement. @ethanrthornton dropped out for a slightly different reason: he wanted to build a better missile, and MIT was slowing him down. So, Ethan left the Ivy League, took a hundred-grand from Peter Thiel, and set out to disrupt the entire military-industrial complex before he was old enough to legally buy a beer. And I think he’s on the verge of doing that very thing.

Ethan grew up on a farm in Texas, working as an auto mechanic and hammering out custom kitchen knives to pay for his early engineering experiments. When he looked at the state of American manufacturing, he didn't see a lack of apps or software; he saw a nation that had forgotten how to bend metal, spark welds, and build heavy things at scale.

Today, Ethan is 22, and his company, Mach Industries, is valued at nearly two billion dollars. They’re building the next generation of autonomous defense hardware, and a lot of people are paying very close attention, including those in the Pentagon. Mach’s weapons are inexpensive, (relatively) easy to mass-produce, and most of all, lethal. I heard him speak last year at an energy conference and immediately invited him on the podcast. This was the first blank square on his calendar, and I was honored that he spent a few hours chatting with me.

Pay attention. This kid is going places.

Our whole conversation is here.

🚨WOW!!!

A college student is being praised as a HERO after she saw 3 little girls drowning in Lake Washington, jumped in, and saved ALL THREE GIRLS.

The last one was UNCONSCIOUS, underwater, tangled in a rope, only her hair was still floating.

All 3 SURVIVED!!!! ❤️

Her name is Lillie Vehling.

She is an engineering student at UC Davis and an attacker on the women's water polo team.

She was in Seattle for a summer internship and went to Seafair for the very first time, sitting at Genesee Park waiting on the Blue Angels with a book in her hands.

Then she scanned the water.

Three girls were out past the buoy line, bobbing, screaming, going under. She is a certified lifeguard who started her own swim lesson program, so she knew exactly what she was looking at.

One of the girls was pushing the other two under just to get a breath.

That is when she went in.

She grabbed that girl first, to stop her from taking the other two down with her. Got her to shallow water. Went back for the second one.

Then she went back a third time.

By then the third girl was already gone under.

Lillie: "I just saw her black hair in the water barely floating."

The child was unconscious AND tangled in the rope of a buoy she had been clawing at to save her own life.

Lillie got an arm under her, lifted her head out of the water, and hauled her to shore.

The little girl coughed up the lake and came back.

Seattle Fire paramedics met them on the beach. One girl went to Seattle Children's Hospital in stable condition.

All three lived.

Seafair's president found her that same day. Her first question was whether Lillie was okay. Her second was whether she could give her a hug.

That night they brought her to the gala and knighted her "Lady Guardian of Lake Washington."

Admirals lined up to meet her.

And Lillie? She is chasing a career in the nuclear Navy.

Seafair's president says she hopes the next time Lillie comes back to that lake, it is in a Blue Angels cockpit.

"To save three people, I didn't think twice about myself."

GOD BLESS Lillie Vehling, and GOD BLESS the firefighter who raised her.

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@elonmusk Every time I think you have come up with a problem that requires a human in the loop, you say, "Hold my beer" and prove me wrong. This 70 year old who will not live to see your greatest creations is so happy that you are being you. Thank you.
