Love this!
The quickest way to end Russia’s war is to hold the positions and move to discussions. What is very important here is that we decided: stop where we are, it’s a ceasefire, and we go to the diplomatic track. It can last one month, two months, or one year. Or it can last longer than we expect today. But we end the hot stage and people stop dying. When you hold, you speak about the contact line, slow down the pace of mobilization; the economy begins to work. You are in discussions. Dialogue is better than guns. That's why the best way to end this war is to exchange guns for words.
Of course, you will have thousands of questions. How to stop? Where to stand? What is the mandate of the monitoring mission? What is demilitarized? What does it mean? What do we need for this? Europeans. Reconstruction. Where to get the money? Thousands of questions, but this is the format to stop the war – ceasefire. If Putin doesn't want a ceasefire and says, “No, I want a long plan, with different questions, both difficult, sensitive, and not. And then, when we sign this long plan, we will stop the war,” it simply means he doesn't want to stop the war.

To dunk, I need to put 585 lb of force into the floor within 0.2 seconds.
This squat gets me 97% of the way there on strength.
I'm working on explosiveness. I'm still on the ground too long when jumping.
Side note: this is the most I've ever squatted.
Tesla has started the Earthworks for Project Crystal Sun!
This is/was Tesla's proposed area for Project Crystal Sun, a $10.1 billion solar-cell and panel factory. It appears Tesla has decided to build here!
The roughly 3,000-acre project would manufacture everything from silicon ingots to finished solar panels and create approximately 9,712 permanent jobs. Production is targeted for early 2029.
I decided to swing by yesterday and found massive clearings, equipment staging areas, the old homestead is being used, and they are already leveling a large area.
Enjoy the flyover and please, please subscribe
Tesla has officially started construction of its massive new $10 billion solar manufacturing facility near Houston, Texas!
Construction is expected to finish in 2028, with commercial operations starting in Q1 2029. Total direct and indirect economic impact of the project is estimated to generate ~$6.4B in state and local taxes, and increase State of Texas GDP by ~$107 billion.
The factory will be a vertically integrated solar manufacturing facility, and it'll include:
• Wafer Manufacturing
• Ingot Manufacturing
• Coating
• Metallization and Printing Lines
• Cell Testing and QC
• Automation and Material Handling
• Cleanroom and Production Support
• Site Infrastructure
• Chemical Storage and Delivery
• Utility Infrastructure
• Environmental and Safety Systems
Pauline Hanson is all over TikTok/social media with paid/boosted content claiming to be a warrior for struggling Australians. This is a lie. She is a stalking horse for uncontrolled guns, horror cuts to services, work choices 2.0, let er rip coal/gas low taxed exports, dogwhistle immigration….
Pretty strong message from 🇦🇺’s music idols telling the govt not to sell out their creative content to big tech.
Multibillion $$ foreign AI companies should pay artists to train on their content instead of our govt watering down copyright protections to keep them happy.

The pro-russian backstabbers in the US cut all support for investigations on russian war crimes over a year ago, including for acts of sexual violence, which is not surprising given who runs the US these days.
They keep the record alive and a tireless in their search for justice and accountability.
This morning, the Russians attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been underway for seven days following an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. Unfortunately, more people may still be under the rubble. Absolute cynicism and brutality. There was also an overnight attack on the Dnipro region – the Russians struck energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region without power. In the Kharkiv region, the situation is difficult too. There are widespread power outages across the country. In the Zhytomyr region alone, 140 apartment buildings were left without heating following a Russian strike. Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, utility workers, and every repair crew who are literally working 24/7 to restore water, electricity, and heating supplies to people.
In total, this past week alone, Russia has launched 115 missiles of various types, nearly 1,900 guided aerial bombs, and more than 3,000 attack drones against our cities and communities. These are combined strikes involving many ballistic missiles. And a significant portion of the missiles were manufactured this year. We constantly provide our partners with information about Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production. In October, Ukraine imposed major sanctions packages on the individuals and legal entities involved. It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We count on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package. Thank you to all partners who are truly helping.
