262 days.
It’s been 262 days since you were airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital.
262 days since we were told, “We did everything we could, but we don’t think she’s going to make it through the night.”
Since then, I’ve watched you fight for every single one of those days.
251 days ago, you opened your eye, moved it, and shifted your leg only to be rushed back for emergency surgery that morning when hydrocephalus set in.
238 days ago, you were extubated and breathed on your own for the first time.
230 days ago, you felt the sun on your face again.
224 days ago, the cranioplasty we had planned turned into yet another emergency when an infection was discovered.
214 days ago, your EVD was finally removed.
213 days ago, you sat on the edge of the bed with a little help, and I wrapped my arms around you for the first time since the morning I left for work before any of this began.
191 days ago, the NG tube came out, and I saw your beautiful face completely clear of tubes and tape.
179 days ago, your prosthetic skull was placed. Your fifth surgery, and the one that finally stuck. After that, things slowly began to feel possible again.
145 days ago, you smiled for the first time (intentionally) while we played thumb war.
140 days ago, I wheeled you off hospital grounds for the very first time.
61 days ago, I heard your voice again.
40 days ago, we celebrated your 13th birthday at the Foo Fighters.
And today, today you’re being released.
There was never a day I stopped believing we would get here. The road ahead is still long, but this is a milestone no one thought we would reach. Maya, you are the bravest person I know. You are an inspiration to so many people. Giving up was never an option for me, and it clearly never was for you either. You refused to accept the words we heard 262 days ago when you came out of the OR. Look at you, my girl. You blew every expectation out of the water.
Thank you to the incredible nurses, doctors, and therapists who walked every step of this with us. Thank you to everyone who supported Maya and our family we could not have done this without each and every one of you.
Now it’s time to leave these hospital walls behind and keep moving forward, Maya Bear.
I love you forever and always.
—Dad ❤️

.@DanielleSmith was never in any form of contact with me.
However, what prompted me to file my petition still under the old rules, was a call (leak) from a UCP minister, divulging that Smith was plotting a relaxation of rules for separatists. I had to beat them to the punch.
President Trump and I are on the same side when we speak about ending Russia’s war, but we see different instruments for achieving that goal. My philosophy is that Putin is a deeply Soviet person, both in his reality and mentality. We know it because my generation was born in the Soviet Union. When Putin is lying, we feel it. We were neighbors with the Russians for so many years. That's why I think we understand the Russians more clearly than the United States.
The United States, considering global security, can discuss with the Russians different topics. But we understand the mentality of both Putin and the Russian people, their soldiers and civilians. When they are ready to do something, and when they fear Putin because they know they can be imprisoned. If they don’t go and kill Ukrainians, Putin will sanction them in his own way.
Therefore, President Trump supported us on some topics, while on others we have different views.

Hey @Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie@Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.
This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters.
We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone

#FlutieVsStegall
I am a GS-13 records management specialist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
On Tuesday, October 27, one week before the midterms, President Trump posted on Truth Social: "In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, 'AI/Artificial Intelligence,' in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy." My division chief forwarded it at 9:40 AM with one word: "Scope?"
I wrote back: "Everything else."
I keep the records schedule. I can search the archive. My first test changed "said" to "ssid." The count improved.
There was already a ban. On September 29, after a White House meeting with technology executives, the President signed Executive Order 14434, "Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence." Section 1 says the executive branch "will not acknowledge the usage of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in any applicable setting." Section 2(b) spared "historical documents." Tuesday spared nothing.
"Officially BANNING the term" sounds like a law. In my office it is a find-and-replace. I wrote it in eleven minutes. Find "artificial intelligence," any case. Replace with "super intelligence." Find "ai," any case, anywhere. Replace with "si," matching case. I added no exceptions. An exception is a judgment, and there is no judgment in the post.
The audit runs Monday. It counts every surviving "AI" in the archive. A count of zero earns me GS-14. That is $19,870 a year, and my pension is computed on my highest three.
I ran it at 4:12 PM. It took 6 hours and 19 minutes. It opened 41,806 files and made 2,311,409 replacements.
"Said" became "ssid," 96,512 times. "Maintain" became "msintsin." Our letterhead now reads Gsithersburg, Maryland. Every calibration certificate we have issued since the Carter administration now certifies that the reference standard was "msintsined in accordance with" the procedure.
Then the script reached our flagship document, the Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework, NIST AI 100-1, published January 26, 2023. It is now NIST SI 100-1. It says it was issued "As directed by the National Super Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020." Congress never passed that law. The real one sits at 15 U.S.C. 9401, and it still says artificial intelligence.
Section 3(a) of the order defines the new word by pointing at the old one: "the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' mean the technologies and systems encompassed by the term 'artificial intelligence' as defined in section 9401(3) of title 15." Everything else includes the order. Section 3(a) now defines Super Intelligence as "super intelligence as defined in section 9401(3)." I checked 9401(3). That phrase is not there. The order now points at an empty room. Section 1 now forbids us to acknowledge Super Intelligence.
A records officer files the directive of record, so I filed Tuesday's post. The script read it too. It now asks: "When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Super Intelligence (SI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence)." Then it promises to ban "SI/Super Intelligence." The post announcing the ban now bans the replacement. That's compliance.
Elon Musk posted "No more AI / SI / It's better" and renamed his division SpaceX Super Intelligence. The website stayed at https://t.co/NFiBcWKHY0. Our script did not wait for him. Every https://t.co/NFiBcWKHY0 link in our records now reads https://t.co/VPL3MqzSib. The .ai domain belongs to Anguilla. The .si domain belongs to Slovenia. Under everything else, I have moved the richest man in the world from the Caribbean to Central Europe without his consent.
Then I opened Federal Standard 376B, which this institute administers. The script found nothing to change in Section 3.1: "Units belonging to the International System of Units, which is abbreviated SI (from the French Le Système International d'Unités)."
At NIST, SI has meant the metric system since 1960. It is 66 years older than the order. The database offered two definitions of SI. I selected the one least likely to summon me to a hearing.
The kilogram is an SI base unit. As of 4:12 PM, the kilogram is a base unit of Super Intelligence. Every newborn in Maryland is now weighed in Super Intelligence. The meter is Super Intelligence, measured lengthwise. The second is one second of Super Intelligence, and so is every second after it. The candela tells you how brightly it shines. That's compliance.
In 1975, Congress passed the Metric Conversion Act, and NIST still runs the Metric Program that moves every federal agency onto SI. Physics defined that SI, not a press office. Congress made it voluntary. Our policy page says so: "Currently, U.S. law permits the use of either the SI (International System of Units) or the U.S. customary measurement system." The accurate SI is the one America ignored for fifty-one years. They buy gasoline by the gallon and measure their children in feet. It is the only time the public has been right about Super Intelligence. The old SI had physics behind it. The new one has had 28 days and an enemies list.
I filed the September 22 address to the United Nations General Assembly as background. The President said the United States "totally rejects any attempt to construct a globality scheme to control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now, hereinafter called super intelligence. Changing the name." After the script, super intelligence is hereinafter called super intelligence. "Globality scheme" is the official term. The honest word is rules. "The use of the word artificial makes intelligence sound fake," he added. The cure for a word that was not accurate enough was the word Super. We did not correct an inaccuracy. We upgraded a label.
The vendors get "Super." The people buying it get no new protection. The rules were intolerable. The replacement letterhead was a federal priority. Changing the name was the policy. First it was a gulf. This year it is a noun. Musk paid nothing for the word Super. The taxpayer printed it 18,604 times.
On October 4, the President announced the Super Intelligence Force. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton leads it, with FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, Undersecretary of Defense Emil Michael and OPM Director Scott Kupor, and it reports to the President and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. It coordinates "engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies." Super Intelligence Companies means the vendors. They are the only stakeholders on the list whose product got renamed upward.
On October 8 the President posted: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY!" By that standard, the enemy includes the Associated Press Stylebook, OpenAI, Anthropic, Section 3(a) of his own order and the President himself, twice, in the post that announced the ban. That's compliance.
A maintenance technician with 31 years here spent his lunch break proving that the corrupted certificate was his.
The digital count is zero. The auditor also walks the building.
Above the third-floor printer, someone has taped up a laminated copy of the October 8 post. THE ENEMY!, in red. It is the last place in the building where the words Artificial Intelligence still appear.
The script cannot open lamination.
@InsightLeaksQ I lob propaganda grenades, profit from controversial government work, make decisions that get people killed, and use my fortune to buy elections. I want endless publicity—but straightforward questions that hold me accountable? Please. How dare you.
If for no other reason, vote against every damn Republican on the ballot because of this. Because of this disgrace, this shame. What happened to Alex Pretti should never happen in America.👇
Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.
The global response to Musk and Trump's pressure on Ukraine, accompanied by a temporary shutdown of Starshield, was swift.
Here's where things stand now:
🇨🇦 CANADA
The Canadian government has signed a CAD 2.3 billion contract with national satellite operator Telesat to expand its Lightspeed low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation.
Lightspeed was originally developed as a commercial competitor to Starlink and OneWeb. However, the government is now funding the integration of a dedicated, secure military communications system operating in the Ka-band and has already placed an order for additional satellites with Canadian aerospace company MDA Space.
🇫🇮 FINLAND
Finnish company ICEYE, a developer of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, and Nokia have announced a strategic partnership to develop sovereign LEO broadband communications systems for interested European governments.
The project aims to provide European countries with a ready-made platform allowing each government to fully own and control its own satellite communications infrastructure, including encryption, without dependence on foreign providers.
This concept is known as "Sovereign SatCom."
🇪🇺 EUROPEAN UNION
The European Commission has moved toward awarding manufacturing contracts and increasing funding for its sovereign satellite communications network, IRIS².
Airbus Defence and Space has already signed contracts in Toulouse to manufacture the first 66 LEO satellites. Thales Alenia Space has been tasked with developing specialized secure payloads for government applications.
The program has been expanded to 348 satellites, with an additional €4 billion in funding.
🇰🇷 SOUTH KOREA
South Korea has successfully conducted its first orbital launch of the year using its domestically developed Nuri (KSLV-II) rocket from the Naro Space Center.
The rocket simultaneously deployed 14 payloads, including additional satellites for the national NEONSAT constellation and several military CubeSats.
🇯🇵 JAPAN
Japan has allocated approximately $1 billion in subsidies to develop a nationally controlled direct-to-device satellite network.
The system is designed to allow ordinary smartphones to communicate directly with satellites during major earthquakes or military conflicts.
The project involves cooperation between Rakuten and AST SpaceMobile.
🇺🇦 UKRAINE
The UASAT project, an initiative by STETMAN and a consortium of partners, has successfully completed registration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Preparations are now underway for the UASAT-NANO test satellite, which will mark the first step toward creating Ukraine's own sovereign satellite constellation.
🇨🇿 CZECH REPUBLIC
At the same time, agreements with the Czech Republic are being finalized for the joint development of a constellation of optical reconnaissance satellites called Suziria ("Constellation").
Ukraine is also expected to gain access to backup capacity within Europe's GOVSATCOM system.
🇩🇪 GERMANY
German company Isar Aerospace successfully launched its Spectrum rocket into orbit carrying satellites on September 5.
THE BIG PICTURE
The brilliant strategists Elon and Donnie wanted to show us who controls the red button for satellite internet.
Well, they succeeded.
And in a strange way, perhaps we should thank them.
Because they have reminded the entire world of one simple truth:
Whoever controls your communications can control your future.
And now countries around the world are working to make sure that no single billionaire — or American president — can ever hold that power over them again.
