Before the "horror" genre existed, there was this masterpiece of German Expressionism:

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:

"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Watch the Sixth Avenue bike lane demonstrate exactly how priority lanes speed emergency responses through gridlocked traffic:

[Emma 🇺🇸 @Emmaiid11]

🚨INCREDIBLE: During a multi-vehicle collision on the Route 90 bridge in Ocean City, Maryland, a 2-year-old girl was ejected from a pickup truck, falling nearly 30 feet into the Assawoman Bay below.

Jonathan Bauer, who was driving across the bridge with his teenage daughter when the crash occurred, rushed over to inspect the wreckage. Looking down into the water, he saw the toddler floating face down and becoming unresponsive.

Without hesitation, Bauer instructed his daughter to flag down first responders, removed his shoes, and leapt off the bridge into the bay. He swam to the little girl, lifted her onto his shoulder, and patted her back until she coughed up water and began breathing again.

A passing pontoon boat quickly navigated toward them, pulling both Bauer and the toddler out of the water and transporting them to shore, where emergency personnel were waiting. The child was airlifted to a regional medical center for evaluation and released the following day in good condition.

Bauer was later honored by local law enforcement and civic leaders for his decisive actions and selflessness.

A 2-year-old boy was kidnapped from his home and driven nearly 200 miles away.

Then one trucker spotted the getaway car, and within minutes, three massive semis were closing in around it.

Jim Lowe had heard the AMBER Alert when he recognized the car on Interstate 24. He checked the license plate, realized it matched and immediately radioed other truckers ahead.

The truckers spread across the highway and moved their semis into position around the car. They boxed it in and began slowing it down, making sure the driver couldn’t get away before police arrived.

Officers rushed in, arrested the driver and found 2-year-old Cael Whitehead inside safe and unharmed.

Those truckers had never met Cael, but when they realized that little boy was inside the car beside them, they did everything they could to make sure he got home safely.

Our government doesn’t work for the American people and there needs to be immediate action.

#1 Pres Trump must end the Iran war and bring peace as 70% of Americans oppose the war.

#2 Gov leaders and oil industry leaders must immediately get to work on a plan to build more refineries and make America energy independent. And implement the plan immediately.

The experts are saying a diesel export ban won’t really help because we are tied to the global oil industry.

It’s completely unacceptable for the U.S. which is so rich in oil, to put their citizens in such a detrimental financial position and handcuff us to global oil prices and industry.

There has not been significant refineries built in the U.S. since 1977, 49 years ago!!

And it’s been about that same time span that our own gov and major corporations of all kinds globalized and sent money overseas, invested overseas, and built an infrastructure that is dependent on global trade and refining.

Not just in the oil and gas industry, you can apply this to manufacturing as well.

And ever since then, Americans have consistently been screwed over by our government and our own corporations.

We have lost jobs.
We have lost money.
And we have enriched foreign countries all over the world.

Anger over nonstop America last policies and actions that have stolen American’s wealth and dreams is what fueled America First and why many of us turned to Trump because we thought that’s what MAGA was.

We thought Trump was going to right the wrongs that have been done to the regular American man and woman.

But instead Trump gave us another middle eastern foreign war we didn’t want and record high gas and diesel prices again.

This has truly exposed the fact that drill baby drill didn’t lower gas prices.

We don’t have an America focused refining industry, instead we have a global focused and profit driven refining industry.

Kidnapping Venezuela’s President and wife and taking their oil didn’t lower gas prices.

And with record high diesel and gas prices many Americans are saying they could care less if Iran has a nuclear weapon, they just want a government that works for the American people and makes life affordable and gas/diesel cheap.

End the war!!!
Build more U.S. refineries!!!
Give Americans cheap gas and diesel!!!

AI alignment is why I started Kernel in 2015 and Don't Die in 2021. It's obviously the only thing that matters.

Kernel can now one-shot human thought into AI models. The tech and scaling are singular. I personally invested $70 million to build this.

Don't Die is a values argument. Our actions reveal that we value status, power and wealth more than life itself. Don't Die posits zeroth principle thinking has humans aligning with the life itself before its own misalignment trys to align superior intelligence.

My Immortalism manifesto blueprints a civilizational mastery over entropy, enabling infinite frontiers of adventure.

I've been circling this topic for eleven years now. Trying my best to find entry points. Intuitively, it feels that there is something else to do right now. It's species-scale and computational. I'm eager to point all of my energy at it. Hit me up if you have something cooking or want to team up on this.

Currently, in the United States, there are two camps of thinking about falling birth rates. One, helmed by the likes of Elon Musk and J. D. Vance, was exemplified in a report from the Heritage Foundation earlier this year, which linked the drop in U.S. fertility to “second-wave feminism” and other familiar culture-war culprits: “casual sex, abortion, childlessness by choice, and no-fault divorce.” But there is another story about failing fertility, coming from almost the opposite premise: plenty of people still want children, often more than they wind up having. “What has changed are the social and economic conditions people need to create the families they’d hoped to have,” Margaret Talbot writes about this way of thinking.
