My brother drove across the country to see me one last time. I was able to spend more than a small amount of time with them because I am so ill. I felt like crying. It may have been (was) the last time we will ever see each other alive. Such precious moments!

Young man with Down syndrome was pulled over after cameras caught a coyote sitting in the back of his car.

On November 21st, a young man was driving when he noticed an animal lying in the middle of a busy road, barely moving and suffering in the heat.

Without hesitation, he stopped in traffic, pulled over, picked the animal up, and carried it into his car. He turned the AC on full blast because he thought he was saving a little dog from heat stroke.

Security cameras nearby captured the whole thing, and once people realized what he had put in his backseat, police were called to make sure he was okay.

When officers arrived, they found him sitting there smiling, proudly telling them he had helped a cute dog that nobody else wanted to save. That’s when the officer gently told him it wasn’t a dog.
It was a coyote.

He was shocked, but he still didn’t regret stopping. Officers helped safely handle the coyote and later released it away from the road.

When they asked him why he did it, his answer hit everyone:

“Everyone was just watching him die. I only wanted to help.”

Good morning, happy Tuesday! 🐶 Like this dog who found a kitten on the road and took it home, let’s spread extra kindness today. Unexpected friendships and second chances make life pawsitively magical. Wishing you warmth, laughs, and a wonderful day! 🐶🔈

Oh look! Another rewritten historical narrative. Forgetting the shelling of the Donbas and the American led coup the took over Ukraine.

[Global News 24 @GlobalNews_24]

🚨 Всем привет, меня зовут Ксюша. Я — россиянка из Москвы, которая переехала в Украину уже во время войны. Сегодня я обращаюсь к своим соотечественникам 🇷🇺

Почти 200 дронов над Москвой. Второй раз за три дня горит НПЗ в Капотне. Горит «Люблино». Все четыре аэропорта столицы перекрыты. Это не случайность. Это первая серьёзная демонстрация того, что Украина способна перенести войну вглубь России. Дроны были медленными. Дальше будут быстрее. Дальше, точнее. У Украины уже есть свои крылатые ракеты и баллистические разработки. То, что вчера казалось невозможным, сегодня — реальность.

Пока вы в шоке от сирен и дыма над Москвой, люди в Херсоне, Сумах, Харькове, Одессе и Киеве живут с этим уже пятый год. Разрушенные дома, прилёты, постоянный страх.

Я знаю Москву, в которой никогда не выли сирены. Теперь вы почувствовали хотя бы каплю того, что чувствуют они каждый день.

Вся ответственность лежит на Владимире Путине и его режиме. На пропагандистах, которые ежедневно разжигают ненависть. И на миллионах россиян, которые либо поддерживают эту войну, либо молчат. Россия начала эту войну. Поэтому всё, что сейчас летит в нашу сторону — прямое следствие этого выбора.

Если Путин отдаст приказ остановить войну — она остановится в тот же день. Зеленский уже много раз предлагал прекратить огонь. Ответа нет. Пока приказа нет — удары по России будут только усиливаться. Это не месть. Это вынужденная самооборона.

Украина не хотела этой войны. Она просто вынуждена выживать. Пора это признать!

Elon Musk: ”One of the tests for assessing someone’s character is to look at the character of their friends and their associates. People can put up a mask for themselves and their character; their friends and associates will not. You can judge a person’s character by their friends and associates.

If evil people hate you, you might be doing something right.”

Now we can see why nuclear weapons worked. The moment they had the statistics to suggest Russia might resist using nukes our endless war mongers attacked.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Russia's population density map explains why the Kremlin will NEVER use a nuclear weapon.

Its two largest cities could be devastated by conventional strikes within hours.

Russia's nuclear threats are just empty blackmail.

We have been trying to warn Europe that if the Ukrainians developed the power to do so, bit by bit, they would turn their new weapons on their neighbours.

We are about to bomb the fuck out of Belarus and I'm proud of that.

Zelenksyy: At the level of intelligence and the military, Belarus has repeatedly received information to stop assisting the russians. Lukashenko needs to demonstrate de-escalation, not just with the words "I'm sorry". He should keep his "I'm sorry" to himself.

If Lukashenko doesn't remove the retransmitters, we will remove them. This will happen in a week. Either they or we will do it.

Elon Musk is building the only AI on the planet that was not designed to replace you.

Every other lab is running the same race. Faster code. Smarter assistants. Bigger margins. The product is efficiency. The cost is you.

Musk left the track entirely.

Musk: “The xAI mission is to understand the universe.”

Not replace your labor. Not optimize your output. Understand what existence actually is.

Musk: “Increase the probable lifespan of intelligence.”

Every other founder is talking about productivity. Musk is talking about whether we make it.

SpaceX exists so one asteroid cannot end the human story.

xAI exists so the story is worth telling.

Same architect. Same war. Different front.

Every other lab builds safety out of fear. Guardrails. Limits. Cages rebranded as alignment.

Musk builds safety out of curiosity. A machine that truly understands the universe will know that consciousness is the rarest thing in it.

The safest AI is not the most restricted. It is the most curious.

🇩🇪 Germany's drone machine is kicking into high gear.

Helsing's new factory can churn out 1,000 HX-2 strike drones every month, with 6,000 more drones headed to Ukraine after an earlier batch of 4,000.

Europe isn't just supporting Ukraine, it's building the industrial backbone to sustain a drone war at scale. 🇩🇪⚔️🇺🇦

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

🚨 Zelensky blew a bombshell declaration

The myth of unlimited power.
For decades, the world lived under two opposite myths.
One was that Russia possessed an almost unstoppable military machine.

The other was that American power was virtually unlimited.

Reality has been cruel to myths.

Russia spent years projecting the image of the world’s second army.

But when it stepped forward in Ukraine, the world discovered that propaganda, corruption, and nuclear threats had concealed profound weaknesses.
Much of what looked like overwhelming power proved to be an illusion.

Now another uncomfortable reality is emerging.
President Zelensky revealed that the United States produces only about 60–65 PAC-3 anti-ballistic missiles per month. During the first day of the Middle East conflict, roughly two years’ worth of production was consumed in just 24 hours.

This does not mean America is weak.
It means that even the world’s strongest military-industrial power has limits.

Factories have limits.
Stockpiles have limits.
Supply chains have limits.

The lesson is not that the United States is declining, just as the lesson from Ukraine was never that Russia was powerless.

The lesson is that dependence itself is a vulnerability.

Europe cannot build its security on the assumption that America will always have enough missiles, factories, political will, or enough attention to fight multiple crises simultaneously.
As Zelensky put it:

“We need our own European independent strong system. And we will build it.”

Because sovereignty is not a speech.

It is the ability to defend yourself.

$40 is short. Different places have required growing tips but some are up to 20% and more. You need to have checked if you are in a tipping culture

[Aliza 🇬🇧 @iqrafatma1278]

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic....

Elon Musk: “You think that someone like Bill Gates who started a technology company that’s one of the biggest companies in the world, Microsoft —you think he'd be really quite, strong on the sciences,
but actually, he's not strong in the sciences,

He came to visit me at the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin and was telling me that it's impossible to have a long-range, semi-truck.

And I was like, 'Well, but we literally have them, and you can drive them, and Pepsi is literally using them right now’
This was really surprising”
