Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine.

Sirens blaring.

This is everyday for every Ukrainian.

I feel like such an asshole for minimizing the struggle of Ukrainians for the last 5 years. I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say.

There are people in Ukraine who have to run to a bomb shelter everyday and some of us had the audacity to say Russia wasn’t wrong because we believed the lie that Ukraine is a country full of Nazi sympathizers.

We have been so propagandized by Russia and we don’t even realize it.

Air sirens could very well be the future of America if we don’t start demanding our lawmakers crack down on communism and multipolarity.

We won’t have Trump forever and the axis of evil is moving fast.

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.

And the reason is worse than they think.

Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”

They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.

Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.

Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.

Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.

A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.

Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”

Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.

Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”

SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.

Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.

Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.

That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.

A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.

They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.

Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.

The more I observe, the more I realize the left wasn’t so wrong about their claims that many personalities on the fringe of the so called right are foreign agents.

Broken clocks and all.

I’ve come to see a lot of things I was blinded to before.

AJ Dybantsa was hoping to remain in Utah and prefers to be drafted by the Jazz, per @AdamFinkelstein

“That comment by Dybantsa was also consistent with one of the most repeated pieces of intel floating around Chicago this week: that Dybantsa was reportedly hoping to stay in Utah. He’s been in Utah now for two years (one season at Utah Prep and one season in Provo at BYU). His family is now with him in Utah, and they’ve grown to like the state and were hoping to stay… Now that has led some to wonder whether we could see some “workout shenanigans” where Dybantsa could potentially refuse to work out for Washington in hopes of forcing his way to Utah... Dybantsa’s camp had reportedly indicated to some they weren’t interested in playing that game, despite their preference to end up in Utah.”

😳 We are now approaching an event that will require unity from us. And if there is no unity, there may be a catastrophe. I will not give an example, because it will be very sad and unpleasant, - Budanov

Tiger Woods called Donald Trump from the scene of his rollover crash before his DUI arrest in Florida.

"I was just talking with the president."

Read this. It's important. It's from a Silicon Valley guy talking about what AI is about to do to us, whether we want it or not.

What we learned from the Ye saga is that when an extremely high-status individual shows clear signs of mental illness, people will steadfastly resist the conclusion that they're ill––in a way that they'd never do if their friend were behaving the same way

The growing popularity of Korean fried chicken reflects a greater familiarity with Korean culture. But its origins can be traced back to African American soldiers fighting in the Korean War.

BREAKING 🔴

U.S. special operations troops and Puntland Counter-Terrorism Forces carried out a pre-dawn assault on ISIS-Somalia hideouts in the Baalade Valley. More than 100 American operators arrived by MH-60 helicopters with MQ-9 Reapers overhead, striking cave positions held by about 10 to 15 ISIS fighters in the Bakuuje and Mareero areas of the Cal Miskaad range. PCTF pushed in with roughly 200 troops after several days of U.S. airstrikes that had already killed multiple militants.

The raid triggered two to four hours of close-quarters clashes inside fortified caves, including engagements with foreign fighters from Syria, Turkey, and Ethiopia. By sunrise, U.S. and PCTF forces had withdrawn with no reported American casualties.

Early results indicate a senior ISIS-Somalia commander and several aides were killed, along with a total of 5 to 10 terrorists. Forces also destroyed weapons caches and equipment used for gold-mining operations that funded the group.

Puntland’s leadership says its Operation Hilaac now controls almost all of the Cal Miskaad mountains and aims to eliminate ISIS-Somalia by December 2025.

The campaign against Putin's General Gerasimov is blowing up, now the top story in Russia, as the the head of the Russian military is embroiled in a scandal over not only his secret mistress and family but that he's been funneling hundreds of millions in state funds to them.

The best is the enemy of the good. Contrary to recent press speculation, the draft 28-point plan for peace in Ukraine is in fact a reasonable basis for negotiations. Journalists can gripe about it as they griped about the 20-point Gaza plan. But wars are not ended by op-eds. 1/5

Here's how to instantly open Grok AI Assistant with the Action Button on iPhone

Siri doesn't have any real assistant capabilities. It can’t answer basic questions, struggles with simple tasks, and is seriously limited

Grok AI is a fully capable assistant, answers in real-time and does quick web search when needed automatically without needing to do anything

Here’s how to make Grok as your go-to assistant with the Action Button:

➝ Open Settings
➝ Tap on Action Button
➝ Swipe to select Shortcut
➝ Tap to choose a shortcut
➝ Search for the Grok App
➝ Select “Talk to Grok” as your action

✅ DONE

Now Press & Hold Action Button = Instant Grok Access

You can trigger Grok from the Lock Screen or any app with your Action Button

Make sure the Grok app is updated for the best experience

Apple still restricts third-party voice assistants, even though it can’t offer what they can

But this shortcut is by far the smoothest way to access Grok on iPhone
