divinity comes to those who discard the flesh. and when you reach for it: you must not aim to "land among the stars", but to grasp it. and there can be no doubt.

the best thing that can happen to a person is for themselves to come to their own side

there are over 100 billion stars in the milky way. surely you can someway somehow muster up the energy to complete your life's task.

The Falcon 1 is small potatoes now, but reporting on its development is really what got me hooked on @SpaceX. Loved the tales of a bunch of 20 somethings stuck on Kwajalein Atoll trying to make a rocket fly.

The company ended up being one tiny error on the fourth launch from going out of business, but it somehow launched and survived.

Am still so amused by @elonmusk reading rocket books post PayPal and now getting to this point. Seems just about impossible.

Is a shame there has not been a movie made about these times. Hollywood kinda hates Elon and doesn't want to see it made, but it's the ultimate next chapter to The Right Stuff.

“The art of life is more like the wrestler's art than the dancer's, in respect of this, that it should stand ready and firm to meet onsets which are sudden and unexpected.” - Marcus Aurelius

and again

“In the application of thy principles thou must be like the pancratiast, not like the gladiator; for the gladiator lets fall the sword which he uses and is killed; but the other always has his hand, and needs to do nothing else than use it.” - ibid

I was made especially for justice and judgement. But I am an unjust man; accordingly, my justice torments me.

[suverino @suverinoo]

urgency is the unwillingness to lose time. it naturally emerges when the perceived value of that time is extremely high. you generate that perception by extracting an unimaginable amount of value from the time you have. that value becomes the evidence that generates urgency decoupled from external circumstances.

[suverino @suverinoo]

it all has to be cultivated: the urgency, industry, long-suffering, anxiety, even neuroticism. none of it is free. the will to win is mostly the unwillingness to lose. get as much of it as you can carry. and then get a mule. and. keep. going.

Even if by some miracle of profound retardation you couldn't brainstorm that keeping a violent lunatic separated from polite society would reduce the chance that he might harm someone, you could still, in the depths of your stupidity, take one glance at El Salvador and discover from @nayibbukele that while violent criminals are in jail, they are not committing violent acts upon the general public.

I used to walk by this spot every single morning. Bad ideas acted boldly upon are more dangerous than any weapon you could ever concoct.

He was already arrested for a police shootout in 2020. We already caught him. The only way someone should be able to commit a second public shooting in their life after being caught is by escaping prison. Instead, we actually let him out voluntarily after 5 years. One can only surmise that having murderers on the street is the actual goal.

🚨🇺🇸Insane footage shows a gunman walking Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts firing on passing cars at random.

A State Police trooper engaged him within seconds and shot him multiple times.

Witnesses report 15-30 rounds fired.

[suverino @suverinoo]

The worst part of dying to an attack like this wouldn't be the suddenness, the violence, or the pain. It would be how easily preventable it was. He was literally already locked up; and it was for something that already made it obvious he should've stayed locked up.
