🚨 Comedian Tim Dillon voices his SUPPORT for the Tate brothers on the Diary of a CEO podcast:
"I've had him on my show and he's very, very lovely to me. He was a nice guy
All lot of the people that demonize him are doing the same thing he's doing in another way‼️"

You will never see what you're capable of from the comfort of your warm bed.
Go. Fight. Win. And cast a shadow so fucking big that all your doubt and fears shrink into irrelevance.
Doubt and fear always exist. You just need your goals and dreams to be bigger.

A fly that died years ago is flying around a harbor that doesn't exist.
Here's what's going on. Scientists took one female fruit fly and sliced its brain into about 7,000 pieces, each roughly 2,000 times thinner than a human hair. They photographed those slices 21 million times under an electron microscope. Then hundreds of people spent years tracing every connection by hand until they had the whole thing, all 139,255 neurons and 54.5 million synapses. That map is called FlyWire. Odyssey hasn't said exactly which map it used, but FlyWire is the one most of these projects build on.
Earlier this year a startup called Eon ran that map as a simulation with zero training and got a virtual fly that walks and grooms on its own.
Now Odyssey has put the brain somewhere new. The harbor in this clip isn't sitting on a server as a 3D model or a game level. Odyssey-3 is a 14-billion-parameter AI that learned how water and light behave by watching a ton of video, and it invents each frame as the fly steers through it.
This is kind of a big deal for a nerdy reason. For as long as people have tried to build a mind, there have been two camps. One says copy a real brain. The other says train a giant model on tons of data. Those camps have mostly fought each other, and in this clip one is living inside the other.
And here's a fun bit of math. The fly has 54.5 million synapses. The AI dreaming up its world has 14 billion parameters. Line those up and the world is about 250 times bigger than the brain living in it.
That's what happens when one approach rides on GPUs and the other rides on grad students with microscopes. The trained side ballooned in a couple of years. The copied side took the better part of a decade to get one fly.
What really got me is how little it takes to fool a fly. A fruit fly sees through about 800 tiny lenses per eye, so its whole view of the world is around 1,600 pixels. Each of your eyes sends about a million nerve fibers to your brain. Keeping a fly convinced means the AI only has to look right across 1,600 pixels, which is a pretty low bar, and it's clearing it.
The fake world will look good enough for human eyes long before anybody can slice up a human brain and rebuild all 86 billion neurons.

Thanks to Elon, we just watched a Roadster fly.
For anyone still wondering how the Rocket trim does it, here's the breakdown:
Underbody suction for grip: Powered fans draw air out from under the floor so atmospheric pressure presses the car against the surface. Tesla says the system pulls up to 2 Gs, boosts cornering beyond a typical 1.6 G tire limit to >2 Gs, and can hold the car upside down at zero speed.
Compressed air for flight: Two tanks (600L total) hold ~250 kg of air feeding 10 nozzles. Four rear jets generate >80 kN of thrust, hitting 0 to 60 mph in 0.81s during the demo, while perimeter thrusters provide upward lift and midair attitude control until the tanks run dry.

The fact that Tesla was able to keep the development of the Roadster a secret for so long is pretty impressive.

Here’s everything to know about the newly launched @Tesla Roadster:
• Created to be the Ultimate Driver’s Car.
• Deliveries actually begin in 2028, built in Texas.
• Three configurations: Performance, Thrust, and Rocket.
• >300 miles of range for all trims.
• 0-60mph per configuration: <1.6s (Performance), <0.9 (Thrust), <0.59s (Rocket)
• Cold-gas thrusters (@SpaceX-derived, adapted for atmosphere).
• 10 nozzles fed by 600 liters of compressed air allow the car to move forward, upward, and rotate.
• Thrusters generate 4–5x force the tires can handle.
• Multi-mode suction/fan system can hold the car upside-down even when stationary (up to 2G). The car can go upside down.
• Design is inspired by SR-71 and F-35.
• Concealed headlights
• Ano White paint (aerospace coatings: UV, cryogenic, electrostatic, corrosion protection)
• Gold Glazed tinted glass (spacesuit-visor style) + titanium accents
• Ultrawhite interior cabin with gray microsuede detailing and seat bolsters.
• Seats are molded into the chassis.
• Steer-by-wire Yoke
• Made with magnesium, titanium, carbon fiber.
• Height-adjustable spool-valve dampers, which allows the car to raise or lower.
• Can drop up to 1.6 inches (40 mm) in Track Mode.
• Three modes: Road Mode, High-Drag Mode, and Low-Drag Mode.
• Top speed more than 230 mph, but Elon said Tesla is working toward a longer-term goal of 380 mph (Mach 0.5).

money is cool
but being shredded, running a business you love, enjoy friend and family while training and eating healthy is true wealth

President Trump today highlighted how Elon Musk founded SpaceX with his life savings in 2002:
"Elon founded SpaceX with his life savings in 2002 and created the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit in the face of vanishingly impossible odds.
Nobody thought it was possible to do the things he’s doing, and in so many different ways.
SpaceX saved NASA from relying on foreign nations to send our astronauts into space.
And I want to congratulate SpaceX on the safe return of Crew 12 from the International Space Station just a few hours ago. Congratulations.
Wow. He wanted to make sure. Could you imagine if things didn’t work out so well? It would be not a very happy moment. I wonder if he’d be here. I think he might not be here.
But it always works out well for Elon, right? We’re proud of you. Very proud of you. National treasure."

Unfortunately, we are being blocked by certain oligarchs in order to maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people. You can guess who they are …
This is a crime against the people of India!
India needs @Starlink 🇮🇳
• 11,256 of India’s listed villages still lacked 4G coverage as of May 2026.
• India had 1.093 billion internet subscriptions in March 2026, but only 440.87 million were rural. Rural subscription density was 48.31 per 100 people, compared with 126.80 in urban India.
• BharatNet had laid over 850,000 route-km of fibre and made about 221,000 Gram Panchayats service-ready. However, its Points of Presence were reported operational at only 80,472 Gram Panchayats in June 2026.
• Only 4.26% of India’s internet subscriptions were wired connections in March 2026. Starlink could give underserved communities another route to high-speed broadband.
• Starlink has already built 20 gateway sites in India, according to SpaceX Vice President of Starlink Business Operations Lauren Dreyer, speaking at India Mobile Congress today.
• Starlink says it has developed India-specific security controls designed to keep Indian user data within India.
• Its satellite network could bring high-speed internet to remote villages, mountains and islands where extending fibre or mobile networks is difficult.
• Better connectivity could help rural schools access online learning, clinics offer remote consultations and small businesses reach more customers. Starlink already supports education and healthcare in remote communities internationally.
• Portable Starlink terminals have supported disaster response around the world. They could give Indian emergency teams backup connectivity when floods, earthquakes or storms damage ground networks.
• Direct to Cell could also help ordinary 4G phones connect beyond tower coverage, subject to Indian approvals and mobile operator partnerships.
• The government itself identifies difficult terrain, low commercial viability and infrastructure constraints as reasons for remaining coverage gaps. This is exactly where Starlink could help India reach more people.
• India should complete the remaining clearances and spectrum allocation so Starlink can begin commercial service.
• SpaceX’s Vice President of Starlink Business Operations, Lauren Dreyer, said that Starlink is ready to help achieve Prime Minister Modi’s vision of 100% connectivity across India. She highlighted its potential to connect remote classrooms, support telemedicine and restore connectivity after disasters, adding, “With Starlink, people can get connected within minutes, not years.”
India’s hardest-to-reach communities deserve reliable internet too.

People don't understand how depressed most Great Men actually are. Napoleon wrote an entire paper called "On Suicide" when he was 16. Hamilton wrote to his friend around the same age that he "wished there was a war" so that he could make his name. Winston Churchill wrote countless letters to his mother about Loneliness while at school. Abraham Lincoln was constantly writing about how his heart yearned for greatness, but his reality didn't reflect it. This was before he became president. Everyone knows the story of Caesar weeping because he hadn't accomplished as much as Alexander the Great at age 30. This is a recurring pattern you see throughout history. Many greats are depressed in their youth. And often times, this is their driver towards action. They deal with their pain through pure action.
