Reporter: What was your reason for pardoning Trevor Milton?
Trump: I don't know him, but they say it was very unfair, and the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president.

Amazon spent $10 billion to put 200 satellites in orbit. Starlink has 10,000. And Amazon just landed Delta, JetBlue, and Airbus anyway.
The antenna explains why.
This thing is 58 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 2.6 inches tall. A phased array with no moving parts. Full-duplex, meaning 1 Gbps down and 400 Mbps up simultaneously. One antenna covers an entire commercial aircraft. Every seat, every class, gate to gate.
Starlink's aviation antenna tops out at 220 Mbps. Amazon's does 1 Gbps. That's 4.5x the throughput from a company with 2% of the satellites.
The engineering constraint most people miss: inflight wifi has always been limited by the antenna on the plane, not the constellation in the sky. Geostationary satellites had plenty of bandwidth. The bottleneck was a mechanical dish on the fuselage trying to track a signal while moving at 575 mph through turbulence and temperature swings. Amazon solved that with an electronically steered array. No gimbal, no motor, no maintenance. Install it in a day, forget about it for a decade.
And here's where the business model becomes clear. The antenna connects directly to AWS. No public internet routing. Delta's operational data, crew communications, passenger streaming, real-time AI analytics from seatback to cloud with private network interconnect. Starlink sells you a wifi pipe. Amazon sells you infrastructure.
United has 800 Starlink planes. IAG committed 500. Lufthansa committed 850. Collectively, thousands of aircraft locked into Starlink's ecosystem. Amazon looked at that and decided: we'll take fewer airlines but own the entire data layer underneath them. Delta's 500 planes running on AWS through Leo is worth more to Amazon than 5,000 planes on commodity wifi.
The $10 billion on satellites was never the product. The antenna was the product. And the antenna is a trojan horse for AWS.
The X post from @Hey_Aivetra shares a 60-minute video tutorial by Julian Goldie on mastering Claude AI for workflow automation. It positions the content as a productive alternative to watching Netflix.
Key highlights from the video:
• Building Landing Pages and Mini Apps: Demonstrates using Claude to generate HTML/CSS for custom landing pages from website info, and creating shareable artifacts like gamified Pomodoro timers or AI-embedded tools (e.g., SEO content generators).
• SEO Content Automation: Shows converting YouTube transcripts into optimized blog posts via projects, with tips on prompts for Google-ranking results.
• Social Media and Live Streams: Explains training Claude on top-performing Twitter hooks for viral posts, and generating 6,000-word live stream notes with frameworks, CTAs, and 30-day plans.
• Advanced Features: Covers web research, browser control via computer use (e.g., automating Google Docs), Claude Code for terminal tasks like GitHub cloning, skills for reusable instructions, connectors (Google Drive/GitHub), and trackers for business goals like hiring.
• Integrations and Tips: Mentions tools like Zapier, ElevenLabs, HeyGen; emphasizes Claude’s accuracy with long prompts over ChatGPT.
The video promotes Goldie’s free AI Success Lab community (43,900+ members) for tutorials and the paid AI Profit Boardroom for coaching, accountability, and advanced resources.
British Columbia decided this “spring forward, fall back” ritual has run its course.
Excellent. One less outdated tradition to tolerate. Keep the daylight, lose the nonsense. Full support from me.
