Soccer 🇺🇸 or Football 🇬🇧? ⚽️
Turns out the word soccer was actually invented by the British not in the U.S., but was dropped later and they forgot to tell the Americans. —> https://t.co/0csYC9gSOZ

A 5-year-old asks 107 questions per hour. By 5th grade: 0.48 questions per hour. The school system doesn't fail kids on math. It fails them on curiosity. And curiosity is the one skill AI can't replace.
Por casi 7 años no hubo vuelos comerciales directos entre Estados Unidos y Venezuela.
Bajo el presidente Trump, estamos cambiando eso hoy. Los vuelos entre Miami y Caracas han sido reanudados.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔
After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite.
Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial.
Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal.
I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices.
This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.
IMAGINE THE MOON 🌖

With Elon and @SpaceX making waves toward a lunar landing, we asked Grok to outline 9 Steps To The Moon, including key challenges and proposed solutions.
STEP 1: Reliable Transportation
Launch constraints & reusability: Achieving frequent, cost-effective trips to the Moon without reliable heavy-lift rockets risks stranding missions.
Finalize Starship orbital refueling and rapid reuse; conduct 50+ test launches from Earth to build a fleet capable of 10-day turnaround cycles. Integrate AI for autonomous operations.
STEP 2: Precise Lunar Landings
Surface access & stability: Moon's uneven terrain, low gravity, and dust plumes make safe, repeated landings a core risk for crew and cargo.
Deploy uncrewed Starship landers for site surveys; test precision guidance with LIDAR and AI; establish initial landing pads using regolith sintering.
STEP 3: Radiation Shielding
Exposure to cosmic rays & solar flares: Without Earth's protections, radiation could cause cancer or acute sickness in long-term habitants.
Design habitats with water-filled walls or buried under regolith; test inflatable modules and active shielding (e.g., magnetic fields). Use robotics for initial construction.
STEP 4: Thermal Management
Extreme temperature swings: From +120°C days to -180°C nights, this fries electronics and threatens life support.
Develop multi-layer insulation, heat pumps, and nuclear/solar hybrid systems; network data nodes for real-time monitoring across base zones.
STEP 5: Dust Mitigation
Abrasive lunar regolith: It clings, erodes seals/suits, and poses respiratory hazards, making sustained ops unviable.
Engineer electrostatic dust-repellent coatings, airlocks with plasma cleaners, and paved surfaces; create domes as sealed habitats mirroring our model.
STEP 6: Power Generation
Energy in long day/night cycles: Solar alone fails during 14-day nights; unreliable power halts all systems.
Deploy foldable solar arrays with battery storage; integrate small nuclear reactors (e.g., Kilopower); fold zones for distributed grids.
STEP 7: In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)
Dependency on Earth supplies: Without extracting local water/oxygen/metals, costs skyrocket and self-growth stalls.
Mine polar ice for H2O/O2; 3D-print structures from regolith; gate realms for resource processing plants.
STEP 8: Closed-Loop Life Support
Sustaining air, water, food: Open systems require constant resupply; failures mean mission end.
Host cloud-like bioreactors for recycling (e.g., algae farms); violet-hued hydroponics for food; AI-optimized for 6+ crew.
STEP 9: Self-Growing Infrastructure
Scalability & autonomy: Manual builds limit expansion; need auto-replication for a true city.
Use AI robots for additive manufacturing; launch mass drivers for exports; encode waves of data for orbital integration (e.g., Starlink hubs).
How did Grok do @elonmusk ??? 🚀
By recognizing the higher-level consequences nature optimizes for, I've come to see that people who overweigh the first-order consequences of their decisions and ignore the effects of second- and subsequent-order consequences rarely reach their goals. This is because first-order consequences often have opposite desirabilities from second-order consequences, resulting in big mistakes in decision making. For example, the first-order consequences of exercise (pain and time spent) are commonly considered undesirable, while the second-order consequences (better health and more attractive appearance) are desirable. Similarly, food that tastes good is often bad for you and vice versa. #principleoftheday
This is a great chart on the #wealthgap. The story here is that if you want to move up the ladder, focus on #ownership of #business and #financial assets first, then #homeownership later. (Homes are an ongoing expense as long as you own it.)

Lo vuelvo a subir, hay que repetirlo hasta el cansancio. La izquierda te quiere pobre para que dependas de ella y así se mantienen en el poder, mientras tú sucumbes en la pobreza.
¡No dejes que te engañen!
Equities are down, Bitcoin is down, Gold is down, markets are crashing, but the one thing going up in price are Starbucks holiday collectible cups. Who knew my investment in a latte yesterday would be up 10% today 😂.
