In 21 of Zag’s Radar series, 35-year aerospace veteran Mike Hirschberg outlines eVTOL’s emergence from the “trough of disillusionment”, what regulators got right and wrong, and who’s leading the field in 2026. https://t.co/PtZAbwJ3mq

@CharlesLBovaird @ForbesCrypto Dang! I was going to invest when it was $19 back in 2013, but generating all those bitcoins was so energy intensive, I didn't want to contribute to such wasteful electricity use. Little did I know that AI would do that anyway.

Very insightful comments from his holiness, the Pope, “I don’t know if anyone has all the truth on them, but I would ask first and foremost that there be greater respect for one another.” Jesus tells us to love our enemies and love our neighbors as ourselves.

Pope Leo XIV has spoken out about abortion and the “inhuman treatment of immigrants” in the U.S., calling for Americans and Catholics around the world to show “greater respect for one another” in rare comments addressing Trump administration policies.

A huge day for us as we release Aircraft 2 from its tethers and take to the sky, with a pilot onboard.

Expanding our flight test envelope in the second phase of testing puts us in line with the very few companies that have reached this milestone of piloted #eVTOL flight.

I watched the debate. It was one guy struggling to formulate detailed policy plans and another guy struggling to say anything that was true.

“Mothers’ Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers. It was part of women’s effort to gain power to change society.” That’s with the apostrophe in the plural position. @HC_Richardson explains it well here:
