Mind-blowing. Unprecedented. Godzilla-level. Superlatives have been flying about the current El Niño climate pattern, which is already the strongest on record months before it is expected to peak. So, what has made this such an exceptional event?⁠ Read more: https://t.co/2NJZIKBvh9

Starship 40’s return to base

[Resist the Mainstream @ResisttheMS]

Elon Musk: "Being aware of inequities in society is fine… but trying to make everything a race issue is… divisive and corrosive to society."

"We should not make this a constant subject… We need to… treat people like people."

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.

Hippolyte Fizeau’s 1849 Experiment: Measuring the Speed of Light

[From First Principles @FFPPod]

The first neutrino observatory, DUMAND, off Hawaii in the 1960s faced challenges like bioluminescence and potassium-40 radiation. Today, IceCube, a cubic kilometer detector in Antarctica, is finding high-energy neutrinos from outside our galaxy. #Neutrino #Astrophysics

Geometry breathes when the golden ratio dictates form.

Three mutually orthogonal golden rectangles form the underlying scaffold of the regular icosahedron.

Within this flawless symmetry, the constant phi (1.618...) bridges flat logarithmic spirals to three-dimensional space.

Chips iterate every 2–3 years. Terafab is built to loop much faster, all in one building. 🚀

@thejefflutz says the advantage is that you control your own schedule and can afford to fail fast.

"Waymos are like pet destroyers." Elon didn't hold back in his X Takeover interview.

• His viral "Chinese Elon Musk" look-alike: "I look a little Asian." He wants to invite him on stage for "some dance number or something"
• Starship Flight 15 in about 4 to 6 weeks, he says, likely just before Thanksgiving, with the first try at catching the ship. "I'm confident it's not two weeks."
• Robotaxi safety: Elon says Tesla taught FSD not to run over gray kittens at night
• China's magnet export ban left Optimus with "robots with no arms": "a farewell to arms"
• "Torturing a super intelligence is probably not a good idea"
• His mom's most embarrassing story, and a surprise cameo from his daughter

Some history, the current situation and a way forward?

My wife saw this post (video stolen from @ItsKimJava), now going viral again and asked me about it, so I showed her this 2018 interview clip most people have never seen: @elonmusk ’s side of the Eberhard story, which is crucial context:

Ever notice how coffee stains dry with darker edges? It's called the 'coffee ring effect,' and it happens because as the liquid evaporates, there's an outward flow to maintain surface area. This pushes all the solids to the edge, creating that distinct ring. #ScienceFacts #Coffee

[Joe Tegtmeyer 🚀 🤠🛸😎 @JoeTegtmeyer]

Looks like @SpaceX is looking to dramatically ramp up the Starship launch cadence at Starbase, Texas (in addition to operations planned in Florida & Louisiana) in the coming few years, using a 2-phase approach!

The FAA just filed a PEIS Notice of Intent (Docket FAA-2026-12808) for Starship at Starbase.

https://t.co/HcJ25IFYFs

What are the proposed changes?

Current: 25 launches / 50 landings per year.

Phase 1 is an intermediate step while reliability improves and post-flight refurbishment stays minimal ... up to 100 launches / 200 landings on any day or time (~every 3.7 days average)

Phase 2 is described as the mature program rate, expected “within several years" with up to 456 launches / 912 landings, Monday thru Friday only (~1.75 launches per weekday average)

Note: The 912 landing figure is a site capacity cap that can include vehicles launched from other locations (Florida, future Louisiana, etc.). Super Heavy and Starship can also soft-water land in the Gulf of America or be expended.

The PEIS assumes roughly half of operations day (7 a.m.–10 p.m.) and half night for analysis purposes. Launch azimuths are constrained (40°–115°), with defined Starship landing corridors.

This only works with rapid reuse, multi-pad ops, high-rate production/refurb, and on-site LOX/methane production.

Truck-based propellant delivery is already unsustainable at these volumes & is the primary reason so many massive infrastructure projects are underway at Starbase, including an on-site Air Separation Plant & the "Starpipe" Natural Gas pipeline. @esherifftv

Tesla U.S. Market Share in Q3 2025 when Federal EV Incentives ended: ~41%

Elon was absolutely right. @Tesla didn’t need any help from the government.

Let's step into the light and explore the terminator.

It's the line between day and night. As the NASA Artemis II crew flew over the Moon's terminator, they saw lunar craters and ridges cast dramatic shadows, the kind future explorers might see at the Moon's South Pole.

Jensen Huang: We can’t design a chip anymore without AI.

“At night, our AIs are exploring design spaces vast and wide that we would never do ourselves.”

“Our chips are so much better because of AI. We can reduce energy use and get higher performance.”

“Our software, we can’t write software without AI anymore.”

“We use AI to find bugs, figure out what’s wrong with the code, and who’s likely involved.”

“I want every organization and company to use AI very aggressively.”

“I want to turn NVIDIA into one giant AI.”
