@elonmusk For all the stuff you’re good at. Names are not one of them.

You're a 19 year old kid.
You are critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .

Its November 14, 1965 . LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.

You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.

Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.

Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!

Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Army, died at the age of 81, in Boise, Idaho.

God bless our vets!

@GuntherEagleman @elonmusk @DOGE Add root causes and recommended controls to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

⁦@elonmusk⁩ this seems like the stuff conspiracies are made of.

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

@elonmusk working with @grok and not sure any controls will be in place after what @DOGE has found. Is that part of the plan?

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

@elonmusk in my line of work (financial) if you find a control or weakness you have to open an Issue by regulatory standards to address root cause. Is @doge doing the same for transparency and to address root cause

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

@elonmusk Bravo from most but is there a plan you’ll be putting forward to identify and close the control gaps and weaknesses that have been identified to make sure these things don’t happen again?

Netanyahu offered immunity to any Gazan who releases hostages.

Now Daniel Birnbaum, former CEO of SodaStream, is offering $100,000 to anyone who retruns an Israelis hostage alive. The deadline to do so is Wednesday Oct 23.

❗Share this - we may just save some lives❗

@TwinsGeek Another amusing ballpark anecdote on the state of the #MNTwins. If you spend $0/month you’re able to not sit at a twins game.

@Morrisonjames @MediacomCable @comcast @Verizon @Starlink @Xfinity @ATT @TMobile Cable? Let’s hope your fax machine doesn’t give you problems next.

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

@toriihunter48 Careful with the angel emoji. You’ll always be a Twin. Still hurts you left us alone in the cold up here in MN.

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

Did he take a few years off to be with his wife and raise a family? What happened up to 2019?

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

@PaulCharchian Can’t even remember when they had a decent offense before Jordan Love.

[Sam G @usernameSamG]

@fittdogg No. It needs to be more like the LLWS has a US team in the finals every year. Make it a rule that a NY or LA team is always one of the WS teams

Sounds like a way better version of Forrest Gump

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

In 1902, 18-year-old Alice Roosevelt was known for her rebellious and independent spirit. She owned a long-haired Chihuahua named Leo, as well as a pet snake named Emily Spinach which she would take to parties. Alice was known for her unusual habits, such as wearing pants, driving cars, smoking cigarettes, betting with bookies, and dancing on rooftops. In a span of just 15 months, she attended a staggering 300 parties, 350 balls, and 407 dinners.

Alice's stepmom once described her as a "guttersnipe" who went "uncontrolled with every boy in town," while a friend of her stepmom said she was "like a young wild animal that had been put into good clothes." Alice's behavior was so out of control that President William Howard Taft banned her from the White House after she buried a voodoo doll of his wife in the front yard. She was also banned by President Woodrow Wilson after she told a dirty joke about him in public (unfortunately, no record of the joke exists).

Alice's father, President Theodore Roosevelt, famously said, "I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both." Alice herself once told President Lyndon B. Johnson that she wore wide-brimmed hats around him so that he could not kiss her.

In an interview in 1974, Alice described herself as a "hedonist." She passed away in 1980 at the age of 96.

@fittdogg Can you also tell everyone next time you go to the grocery store?
