@DOGEQEEN @grok, did this happen?

[Jaynit @jaynitx]

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem:

"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist."

"I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra."

Elon breaks it down:

Step 1: Question the requirements.

"Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question."

Step 2: Try to delete it.

"Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there."

Step 3: Optimize or simplify.

"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete."

Step 4: Speed it up.

"Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist."

Step 5: Automate.

"And then the fifth thing is to automate it."

Elon explains why the order matters:

"I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."

An extremely reliable test of whether you're an honest, sane, & decent human being is whether you agree with this. If you don't, you're not.

⚠️ WARNING: An Iranian who survived Sharia prison in Iran warns the West: the Islamification always begins with the Left uniting with Islamists.

He escaped tyranny for Canada’s freedom, only to watch the same deadly alliance of appeasement and betrayal unfold across the West.

Weakness invites conquest, and they will never stop.

The Islamic Republic is a long-term threat to the mainland (say, 5 years in the absence of America having taken any action); and a threat as an ideal for other jihadi movements.

The great benefits of a later regime change would be decency for the Iranian people, plus an economic benefit to America, given the size of the Iranian market.

Some say that the American position vis-a-vis China and energy flow is better now.

We'll see what the deal says. I wonder if the Americans are being quiet not because the deal is terrible, but because they don't want some factions in Iran to go nuts when they realize that they were told falsehoods.

Yeah: maybe.

@alexzyan007 @nagasawa_marina Thank you.

[ReadyToLaugh @StrivingBen]

@JackPosobiec An unusually tone-deaf response by Mr. Posobiec.

Commentary on the points raised might be better.

[ReadyToLaugh @StrivingBen]

Per Grok: "Gabbard later... adjusted her public remarks (e.g., in June 2025, noting Iran could potentially produce one “within weeks” if it chose to), while defending the original testimony as taken out of context by some media.

"Subsequent 2025–2026 assessments and hearings reiterated similar points about no active rebuilding of certain capabilities post-strikes, though debates continued over enrichment, breakout potential, and policy implications."

Ray, "within weeks."

The only purpose of 60% enriched uranium is for use in a weapon.

This battle was just a battle.

Didn't we learn details from Israel's heist of volumes of information on the Iran's nuclear program, with details on secret sites?

Yes.

Iran is a new edge in the history of Shia jihad because she mixes the traditional Islamic beliefs with claiming Leftist ideals of "resistance" against the "colonialist" oppressors.

It doesn't really matter what the Iranian regime claims. Their tradition gives full right to "taquiyya": lying to fulfill the goal of Islamic expansion.

The Democratic Party's sociopathology includes many strands -- sexual, anti-Christian, and more, including bringing in enemy populations.

"Don't be Islamophobic" is a sociopathic directive.

Pray for the liberation of Iran.

@jackiecy @WhiteBabyFac Feminist babble with an undercurrent of race-tinged resentment.

What's not to love, Jackie?

[ReadyToLaugh @StrivingBen]

@kdhriti90 @WhiteBabyFac A remarkably foolish post.

[White Baby Factory @WhiteBabyFac]

Feminists love to call housewives "unpaid workers" as if we're being exploited. Let me tell you what my "unpaid" life looks like.

I wake up without an alarm. I make breakfast for my children while my husband heads off to provide for us. I spend my mornings teaching my kids, playing with them, watching them grow. I cook meals from scratch. I keep our home beautiful and peaceful.

Meanwhile, the "empowered" career woman wakes up to an alarm at 6am, drops her kids off with strangers, sits in traffic, spends 8 hours making someone else rich, sits in traffic again, picks up fast food because she's too exhausted to cook, and collapses into bed dreading tomorrow.

And I'm the one being exploited?? The only thing I'm missing is a boss who doesn't care about me and a paycheck that mostly goes to daycare.

The tactical destruction in Iran was more than marginal; and we won't know about uranium for a while.

Obama essentially chose a jihadi state over a fellow infidel. Not a great record; and not in America's interest.

We now have some possibility of keeping the Democratic Party's sociopaths out of power.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Holding this coward accountable is sound judgment.

[Joel Pollak @joelpollak]

I'm not thrilled about the reported terms of the Iran deal, but it's not terrible. Nor will it last: Iran has no choice but war or revolution. Those comparing it to the Obama deal ignore the destruction of Iran's military and leadership. Remember we had to fight two Barbary wars.

This is a fairly long film in terms of what X likes, but it is one of the most important and detailed videos that absolutely everybody should bookmark, watch and share.

This is the most detailed evidence-based film about the Origins of the Palestinian Cause, right from its Nazi roots.

I cannot complement the producer of this film, @rehoov, enough. This is a masterpiece of historical significance.

I hope people like @MOSSADil @marklevinshow @DefiyantlyFree @BillAckman @ACTBrigitte @jihadwatchRS and others may share this to a much wider audience. It is so essential that the truth is seen by everyone, and the lies exposed.
