C3yoyodesign WYYC 2026 Himeji Release News【6】 “Bit” — Gentle in the Hand, Powerful in the Spin. An Elegant, Undersized PCSS Companion. Where material meets thoughtful geometry, C3 presents a distinct and creative concept. The inspiration for our newest release, "Bit," comes from a creative vision by C3 team member Kaoru Nakamura. He imagined a yo-yo that possessed an incredibly comfortable grip for effortless everyday use, yet retained the commanding spin power and high performance of a Polycarbonate and Stainless Steel (PCSS) hybrid. In today’s market, such a unique setting—blending a pocket-sized form factor with premium PCSS capabilities—is virtually non-existent. A Thoughtful Profile: Undersized Body Meets Steady Steel Rims The Golden Wide-Mini Ratio: Designed with a compact 50 mm diameter, a generous 45.14 mm width, and a well-balanced weight of 65.63 g. "Bit" blends the nimbleness of an undersized yo-yo with the reassurance of a wide profile. It yields an incredibly high catch confidence, naturally fitting into your daily lifestyle as an aesthetic pocket carry. Curvaceous H-Shape Profile: Styled with a H-shape silhouette, yet completely refined so that every single edge and line transitions into smooth, organic, rounded curves. This layout retains the powerful stability inherent to an H-shape profile while offering an exceptionally soft and comforting feel in the hand. The Harmony of Polycarbore and Stainless Steel: Featuring a crystalline Polycarbonate body paired with precision-machined Stainless Steel outer rims. By shifting the weight profile directly to the outer edge, it beautifully surpasses the spin-time limitations of standard plastics, offering a serene, prolonged, and remarkably stable rotation. 6061 Aluminum Fingerspin Core: At the center lies a minimalist 6061 aluminum fingerspin hub. This metal insert seamlessly stabilizes the axle while providing a sleek, modern touch, allowing players to execute modern fingerspin and DNA expressions on a compact canvas. Minimalist Everyday Carry Aesthetics To embrace the clear, light-catching qualities of the PC body, this special World Contest pre-release version arrives in five understated, soothing tones: - Black - Clear - Light Green - Ice Blue - Pink Whether held in your palm or resting quietly on your desk, "Bit" serves as a beautiful piece of everyday design—timeless, functional, and ready to bring a touch of calm to your daily routine. The all-new PCSS Undersized Yo-Yo "Bit" will make its official pre-release debut on August 13th at the WYYC 2026 Himeji Yo-Yo Store Rewind Booth. 📅 Release Date: August 14th 📍 WYYC 2026 Himeji Yo-Yo Store Rewind Booth #c3yoyodesign #c3bit #WYYC2026 #yoyo #ヨーヨー

C3yoyodesign WYYC 2026 Himeji Release News 【13】 "Infusing 1A Craftsmanship into the 2A Soul" — Reinforced Traditional Contest Geometry × Subverting Traditional Design Language! Announcing the Very First Signature Yo-Yo for 2A HK Champion & World 2nd place Henson Chan Chun Hay: The Dual-Material Metal Ring Adjustable Next-Gen Contest 2A Yo-Yo "REVOLVE"! The name "REVOLVE" is direct and clear—symbolizing the ultimate core of 2A looping play: "Revolving." With 24 years of yo-yo experience, multiple Hong Kong 2A Champion titles, and a World Yo-Yo Contest 2A 2nd title under his belt, Henson Chan Chun Hay brings a wealth of expertise to his signature designs. The previously released Seeker (by YOU), proposed by Henson, marked an essential first step in his quest to push 2A evolution. After officially joining Team C3, Henson constantly contemplated a single question: How can we elevate modern 2A yo-yos into their next revolutionary transformation? The spark behind "REVOLVE" came from a casual observation by a non-yoyoer friend: "1A yo-yos look so high-end and luxurious that everyone wants to try them." This resonated deeply with Henson—2A players deserve a beautifully crafted, premium-looking yo-yo that doesn't look like a toy. Revolutionary Philosophy: 1A Engineering Meets Dual-Material Aluminum Rim Performance There is a common myth that 2A yo-yos must compromise between fast looping and long spin times. Henson breaks this misconception: Fast looping actually requires exceptionally fast and stable spinning—enabling players to achieve both blazing looping speeds AND ultra-long spin times simultaneously! Removing Side Caps × Precision Aluminum Rim: The Revolve ditches traditional 2A plastic side caps in favor of an integrated inner aluminum ring weighing a massive 5g (with the yo-yo body kept at a sleek 19.6g). It maintains the most familiar sizing so players can feel right at home with no grip readjustment needed. Why an Internal Metal Rim Instead of an Outer Rim? To preserve the balanced, natural response required for proper looping feel and trajectory. Placing the metal rim extremely close to the gap area stabilizes the yo-yo's trajectory, making loops smoother and easier to control while delivering unmatched spin speeds that blow past any standard 2A yo-yo on the market. This dramatically boosts combo length and trick completion rates. Tailored for Modern Slick 24 Strings: Through rigorous testing across multiple prototypes, the weight distribution was perfected to optimize play with Slick 24 (Normal) strings-the standard choice for modern yoyoing. Technical Specifications & Instant Gap Micro-Adjustment Specifications: Diameter 58.42 mm / Width 27.9 mm / Weight 51.5 g. Precision Metal Rim Weight Distribution: Revolve specifically enhances inner body weight distribution, significantly increasing rotational inertia to deliver unprecedented spin power and rock-solid stability. Instant On-the-Fly Gap Micro-Adjustment: String behavior easily fluctuates with humidity and temperature. Revolve features an effortless gap adjustment mechanism—eliminating the need for tedious old-school modifications—allowing players to dial in their optimal setup anytime, anywhere. From beginners to top pros, players can immediately experience its top-tier maneuverability without complex configurations. Homage to 2002: Henson first experienced adjustable 2A yo-yos and starburst/puck systems back in 2002. Revolve incorporates these classic foundational concepts, refined over two decades of competitive experience to meet modern standards. Uncompromising Precision & Structural Reliability Single Cavity Molding: Manufactured using single-cavity molding technology to ensure optimal pressure uniformity during injection molding, fundamentally enhancing overall structural stability and balance. High-Precision CNC Metal Inserts: Core metal nuts are crafted via precision CNC machining, delivering dimensional accuracy and concentricity that far exceed conventional off-the-shelf hardware. These precision CNC metal components are seamlessly concealed inside the body, maintaining a minimalist profile. Perfect Alignment via Insert Molding: Thanks to advanced insert molding technology, the metal components are locked precisely at the absolute center of the yo-yo body during molding, guaranteeing perfect roundness and completely eliminating axle misalignment. Revolve is more than just a 2A yo-yo—it is a masterclass in merging 1A design aesthetics with the pinnacle of 2A competition needs. Henson Chan's very first signature model "REVOLVE" officially debuts on August 14th at the WYYC 2026 Himeji C3 Booth! 📅 Release Date: August 14th 📍 WYYC 2026 Himeji C3 Booth #c3yoyodesign #c3revolve #WYYC2026 #yoyo #ヨーヨー

Q: Esteban, new year, new rules, new car. You've had the first run out this morning at the Shakedown. What are the first impressions? How did the program go for you? Esteban Ocon: Yeah, feeling good. I think, frist of all, an unbelievable effort from the team really to put the car down, you know, at 9:20 this morning. But the was ready at 9:00 you know. We were waiting on a bit of a better track condition and a few things that we wanted to be perfect before we went out. But yeah, from Fiorano testing with Ollie to here there's been moving like people have climbed mountains really to make this car work and it's been really good. So, we are dealing with the plan, learning as it goes. Of course, it's a busy program that we have for the day. So you know, its gonna be difficult to complete it. But for the first real day of driving, I think so far it's going really well and we'll keep pushing to make sure that all the details are covered. But we have more days than normal which is a good thing. Q: Very early days, of course, but just how different are these cars to drive? Have you had a chance to play around a little bit with some of the new modes? Ocon: Yeah, it's very difficult, very complicated. I got lucky be able to do a lot of simulator days before we started the year, so we are pretty well set on that. Everything is clear, but yes, it's very complicated you know, for all of us. But I hope that this will be the same for everyone, because if it is we're in the same boat, so we'll see. Q: But I get the sense you're really relishing that challange and what about the priorities from here, the rest of the weel here at the shakedown? Ocon: Yeah, the aim is really to learn, to get mileage under the car, you know, see the weak points, what we have to improve really. First feel of things, so we are sure that we take the right development path and we are sure that we put the resources where it matters the most. Where it's the most bothering us, so you know, we'll try and put all that together for that end of the test. It's a long week, which is very good and then we have the chance to go back to Bahrain with hopefully, further step made, so that's the aim. #HaasF1 #F1Testing #F1

Important announcement!!!🫵💥💫 Would you have a tooth pulled if it helped your chances to get an important grant funded? Absurd question (obviously), but the situation right now is so bad funding-wise, that I bet some of you actually considered it for a second… Well, don’t get desperate - we created a new tool that might help! (keep your teeth!) I’m excited to announce that as of today we are officially releasing “QED for Grants” for everyone. What started off as an extension of our existing paper review platform, grew in the last few months to an entirely new design. We’ve been working like crazy on this, and although we have more things we want to add in the (very near) future, we decided to release our AI for grants NOW, earlier than planned. It’s not perfect, no AI is, but for the first time, when I run my own grants through QED Science, I feel it gets the research, finds real problems, and gives me very useful feedback that I can implement before submission. It’s like sending it to 20 scientists from my domain, knowing they’ll agree to dedicate their entire week to carefully read and comment on every line. It’s very important to write your own grants yourself, it makes you think hard and you learn a lot from doing it, and q.e.d’s system is designed to preserve these positive aspects and augment them - you get feedback on your own writing, we don’t write for you!! But at the same time, a typical PI spends many months every year writing proposals and sadly only a tiny fraction gets funded, even if the ideas are good. When you are forced to submit an unreasonable amount of grants the quality of the writing drops, and rejection rates increase. Not because the essence is bad. It’s simply too competitive right now (the cuts made it so much worse) and if your proposal is not super clear and tight, and if it’s not a perfect fit for the grant you’re submitting, you’re doomed. Our grant solution is not an authoring, text-generating tool. It gives you constructive feedback on your writing (it comments on the deep things, not grammar and typos). It’s meant to help you with the questions that torment you late at night (“is this a good fit?”, “Is this novel enough?”, “Did I miss something?”). Tens of thousands of you already use q.e.d to improve your manuscripts and critically read papers, we built the grant tool by the same principles (you’ll identify many of the features that you told us you like). We’ve processed thousands of proposals, learned where things fail, where reviewers get stuck, why good ideas come out weak. We interviewed hundreds of scientists, and also experts who work in funding agencies and university research authorities, and implemented their feedback (we’re constantly looking for more feedback). Our AI is always happy to give you constructive (and polite!) critique, and it will go through your grant line-by-line, forcing you to improve clarity, flag weak points, and push the whole thing to a higher standard. We study, in scale, what gets funded and what doesn’t, and what is the perfect fit for each type of grant. So please, use it, pressure-test it, tell us where it fails, and together we’ll improve it every day to put you in the best position for actually testing your ideas in the real world. As always with q.e.d, the system is completely secured and private, and we are NOT training on your data (see the FAQ on our website). Please like, retweet, and share with your favorite colleagues!

$ASTS | Scott Wisniewski at JP Morgan conference, May 18, 2026 Transcript - part 1 Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Sebastiano Petty, and I cover the telecom, cable, and satellite space here at J.P. Morgan. I'd like to welcome Scott Wisniewski, President and Chief Strategy Offer of ASTS Space Mobile. Scott, thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. You're good. You're live. Can you hear me? All right. Thank you for having me. Great. So, Scott, just to start, let's zoom out. As you sit here in mid-2026, with Bluebirds launching, commercial service activation approaching, and the government pipeline accelerating, where are you spending most of your time as President and Chief Strategy Officer? And more broadly, what are your two to three highest priority objectives over the next 18 months as you transition from what has primarily been an R&D and manufacturing story into a scaled revenue-generating operating company? Thank you. And for those who don't know us that well, we were founded about a decade ago around the direct-to-device opportunity. That's what we do. That's our entire strategy. It's from space, of course, and we build our own satellites, and we'll be operating them and selling capacity on them. But at its core, we are a direct-to-device pure play. And over the years, I met our founder in January 2019, but over the years, telling our equity story, people always asked three questions. Does it work? Can you fund it? And how big will the market be, or will there be a market? And that's our traditional private company questions that we still got even as a public company for a while, and we really retired those risks in 2023, 2024, and 2025. And so this year, yeah, you're exactly right. Traditional growth stuff, scaling stuff is where we are. And for us, if I were to say two simple things, one is network deployment. The vast majority of the folks in the company are focused on exactly that, network deployment now for revenue in 2026 and 2027 and beyond. And then the second one is, I think, building the market out in the right way. This is a brand new service. It's a service that is at the very heart of connectivity. Remember, we all know the trends in connectivity. When I started my career in connectivity, there was a question, bubble, what inning are we in? When is the expansion going to end? And then, of course, AI comes along, and there's always something every couple of years. So for us, we're at the heart of connectivity. We can do coverage better than any terrestrial footprint by its very nature. And making connectivity work for our partners, the mobile network operators, and ultimately for the consumer mass market among other markets, is our focus. So building out that market is our second priority. Great. And let's address the news from last week. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile announced a proposed joint venture to extend mobile connectivity using satellite-based D2D technologies. You guys put out a statement commending the announcement. Unpack this for us. What does this mean for ASTS in practice? Does it change your commercial positioning with the carriers? Does it accelerate or maybe even complicate your path to service? So we really value the carrier relationship. We've organized the business, the technology, the go-to-market strategy. Everything we do, really, is about making connectivity better for the mobile network operators. And so you see that in where we've prioritized the company over the years. You see that in how we've built out the tech. And even the network stack is organized with the RAN on the ground, so the operators control it. So that's really been our focus. We share their spectrum, although we also have our own spectrum now. And that's always been the approach. Part1, 1 (of 2)

And making connectivity work for our partners, the mobile network operators, and ultimately for the consumer mass market among other markets, is our focus. So building out that market is our second priority. Great. And let's address the news from last week. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile announced a proposed joint venture to extend mobile connectivity using satellite-based D2D technologies. You guys put out a statement commending the announcement. Unpack this for us. What does this mean for ASTS in practice? Does it change your commercial positioning with the carriers? Does it accelerate or maybe even complicate your path to service? So we really value the carrier relationship. We've organized the business, the technology, the go-to-market strategy. Everything we do, really, is about making connectivity better for the mobile network operators. And so you see that in where we've prioritized the company over the years. You see that in how we've built out the tech. And even the network stack is organized with the RAN on the ground, so the operators control it. So that's really been our focus. We share their spectrum, although we also have our own spectrum now. And that's always been the approach. Part1, 1 (of 2)

Labour's Bev Craig is the new Mayor for Greater Manchester Bev Craig - good luck! "I never believed as a girl growing up in a council estate that one day I would have the chance to stand for the place that I love, the place in this world that I'm proud to call home, and to offer my service to make our city region better." "Because Greater Manchester is special. We talk a lot about our history. We talk about the role that we've played from the birth of the Industrial Revolution to the trade union movement and Peterloo. From the suffragettes through to modern inventions and splitting the atom and the invention of the modern computer." "We've changed the world in many ways in the past, but Greater Manchester's potential lies in its future. And when Westminster walked away from us, when we were struggling as a deindustrialized city region, it was the people in this place that began the journey to rebuild." "And people often ask me, what is it that I feel makes Greater Manchester so special? And it's our people and our communities. And during this campaign, I've got to see that firsthand in every single corner of this city region." "In every pride, village, town, and both our cities, I find fantastic people doing incredible things against the odds every single day. Rejecting the politics of hate, but standing with their neighbors, looking out for each other." "The spirit of a place that their neighbors will give their final pound in their pocket to help their struggling friend do the right thing. But for too many people across our region, life is simply too hard. The generational belief that we had that if you work hard and you did the right thing, then your life would be better, and the life of your kids would be better, is something that many people just don't feel at the minute." "And that is the challenge that we in politics have to face up to. And it's why I set myself a simple test, and I make that commitment to you today, that every single decision I take as your mayor of Greater Manchester will pass the test of making your life better." "It will put more money in your pocket, and that was one of the reasons that my first pledge was around free buses for eleven to eighteen year olds to put five hundred quid in the pockets of families and give a message to our young people that they could be anything they wanted to be and go anywhere they wanted to go." "That everyone in our city region deserves a good quality home that they can afford in a safe neighborhood, and that everyone has to feel the benefits and successes of growth. You have to feel it in your pocket with good jobs in every corner of our city region, and you've got to see it on your high streets and when you walk out your front door, restoring pride into our, our high streets and town centers." "But it can't just be about building the basic fundamentals of a good life. It's creating a good life. It's letting people make those decisions where they plan with optimism and hope for the future. Things like spending time with friends and family with enough money in your pocket to do it, to plan for your holidays, to plan for your trips, to be able to think of the life you're creating for your kids." "And that's what we can do here in Greater Manchester. And the final thing I'll say is that this is about the city region that we want to be. This is the Greater Manchester that we can be. And that has to come with the belief that we can build things that make life better." "And I'll say this really plainly. To those that voted for me, thank you. To the Labour support that's in doubt, thank you. To those of you that lent me your vote, thank you. And for those of you that didn't vote for me, I will still be your mayor because I will defend this city region with every bone in my body, and I will fight for a better life for all of us." "So the hard work begins. I've done this with a promise and a plan, and my promise and commitment to you is that I will make this city region better, but I will work for everyone. I will be a greater mayor for everyone. And we have to heal." "We have to move away from divisive politics that try and pit neighbor against neighbor, and we'll work together. We'll do it together, we'll deliver it together, and we will build a Greater Manchester that works for all of us, that we're all proud of, where everyone feels welcome and everyone has a chance to succeed. Thank you."

We’re thrilled to share that Outset has raised $17M in Series A funding, led by 8VC to help companies better understand their customers. When michael hess and I founded Outset, we set out to solve a critical problem: truly understanding your customer is painfully slow, expensive, and at times, impossible. It shouldn’t be. We believed AI could change this by focusing on the human side of AI. So we built the world’s first AI-interviewer. An AI agent that asked questions, listened, and learned from real humans. By removing the barriers of traditional research and allowing companies to have deeper conversations with more customers more quickly, we could help teams infuse their products with genuine human understanding at a speed and scale previously impossible. So what was the moment we knew we were onto something? When WeightWatchers ran that first pilot back in early 2023. Participants shared incredible amounts of depth, all with the world’s first AI-interviewer. We got a call the next day from their head of research: "You built a thing. We want that thing. How do I pay you for it?" That validation has turned into explosive growth. We've doubled our revenue in just the last 4 months alone, with >50 enterprise customers like Nestlé, Microsoft, and WeightWatchers trusting us to unlock deeper customer insights. All of this built on the backs of a truly special early team with 0 employee turnover. This funding round was led by 8VC, with participation from an incredible group, including: Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company, Y Combinator / Garry Tan, Adverb Ventures /April Underwood / Jessica Verrilli ), Alt Capital / Jack Altman , Rebel Fund, Genius Ventures, Ritual Capital, and many more. So what's next? We're scaling our engineering and go-to-market teams to build the world's most powerful agentic customer research platform. All focused on one mission: helping companies better understand humans. To our customers, investors, and team - thank you for believing in this vision. Now check out the video to see Outset in action, testing the video itself with real people!

📱 iPhone 17 Giveaway 📱 To celebrate our mobile app launching, we’re giving away an iPhone 17. backstory about the way we designed this Mobile app. For the last years, we’ve heard again and again that our users wanted folk to go Mobile. But it didn’t felt right to simply replicate the product and all its features on Mobile. Desktop and Mobile are completely different contexts. Our desktop version is built for productivity. We designed the interface to be simple and lightweight so not to overwhelm you, but with condensed information so you can have a high level view of what’s going on in your CRM. We’ve built it for bulk actions so can get through your tasks in reduced time. It’s the perfect companion for deep, focused work. Mobile is different. You check your mobile when you’re on the go. Heading into the office, between client meetings, traveling for work, or simply off and far from your screens. And salespeople are often far from their desktop. Sales is about connecting, go meet your prospects on the fields, engage with them, shake hands. These moments are precious, that’s where trust is built. To shine during these moments, it’s about the little things. Remembering your prospect’ daughter’ name. Making sure action points discussed in the meeting are well passed to the team. Ensuring you actually reach out to the lead you met at that conference, as you promised. We wanted to design the perfect companion for that. Contacts by folk is built as a contacts app that shows all your contacts from folk CRM. But designed to give you context and let you capture more context. - Sync contacts from multiple places - your emails, LinkedIn, calendar, WhatsApp, or any contact you add in the CRM - Add new contacts easily, including with business card scanning - Search contacts smartly - you can search by name, but also company, job title or even through your notes - Add notes on the go, mention your teammates, and even record notes with voice-to-text - View past notes and past interactions before a meeting across all your channels Think the native Contacts app, reinvented for today. Want to win? Comment “CONTACTS” below 👇👇👇 We’ll randomly pick 1 winner ◾ 1x iPhone 17 ◾ 1 year of folk CRM ⚠️ Get a second entry if you repost!

"If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world." ~EB Did Burlison See a Craft at the Location He Visited? Umm, No. (Long one here with a transcript and my comments in ( ). Work today so I was a little limited with this stuff. Looking forward to the Davis interview tomorrow!) In 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison spent "almost the entire day" with the White House staff as they negotiated various aspects of the Big Beautiful Bill. While he was there, he requested help with the UFO topic because the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets kept getting blocked and struggled to get access to certain information and locations. So, he asked for a White House-level briefing, "the same briefing the President... If you're taking the request, that's my highest request." (He didn't say if he ever received that briefing.) Burlison: "Furthermore, I would like to be able to have a green light to go visit some of these locations. And the gentleman that I was asking kind of smirked. And I said, 'Is this comical to you? I mean, do you think that I'm not a serious person?'" (I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? 😀 ) Burlison: "He said, 'No.' he goes. 'I just want to go with you.' And so, it turns out he did. He was able to go with me. He had to follow the proper channels as well. And we visited the first of many sites, hopefully. I'm gonna be cautious in talking about that because I don't want to jeopardize the ability to go to the remaining locations, if you will. I truly think that, for them, this was a test of whether or not this would become a circus for them. And so, I think that I'm just treading cautiously before I release too much information about what I've learned and where I went." (I understand not giving out the location to avoid a "circus" of UFO people trying to visit, but I don't see why he can't tell us what he learned right now. Hopefully, when all the visits are done, he can share the details with us.) James Fox: "Congressman, when you say you went to visit the site, are you implying that the alleged site that could, potentially, be housing non-human technology? Is that kind of what one is alleging here?" Burlison: "Yeah. Or, once did house non-human technology, right? Now, from my insights from Grusch and others, they had...it was pretty obvious that that first site that we were going to did not have active material, but, potentially, could have in the past. So what was important was to see the facilities and the structures, and to try to ascertain for A), first and foremost, did those facilities exist? And then were they designed in such a way that would have been, you know, one could easily see that that could have been utilized for reverse engineering." (Saying that a location/facility could have been utilized for reverse engineering craft not made by humans is not enough to make the waves we need to force the tidal wave of Disclosure. We need for Burlison (or someone else) to be able to visit a facility that has a craft there now, and folks working on it who are willing to speak about their experiences there. I don't see that happening any time soon.) Leslie Kean: "May I ask If the people at the site were cooperative and helpful for you?" Burlison: "Yes." Leslie Kean: "Or were they resistant to having you visit?" Burlison: "No, they were very cooperative. What I kind of interpreted from this is that a lot of what's happening today is that you have things that have happened in the past, and the people today, you know, you're talking about personnel that have changed over many times. And so, a lot of times they're not aware of the history of some of the things that you're talking about because that's not something that they're working on, currently. But they certainly were extremely helpful." (They were either not aware of the history or, they were, and lied about it. Can't rule that out. And the fact that they were helpful/cooperative doesn't really mean much. If you want to avoid unwanted attention, you put your best face on. Or, maybe they really were ignorant and wanted to do their best to help Burlison and the other folks? No way to know.) Burlison: "I had specifically wanted to meet with a particular individual that works at that location, and I actually expected them to turn me down, but was surprised that they actually arranged a meeting in a SCIF with the person that I requested. So, I do think that they're being cooperative." (Hopefully, when all of these locations have been visited, we get to learn this person's name. Full transparency, right?) Burlison: "And now that the President has [posted on Truth Social about UFOs], I think it gives everyone all the way down the line an understanding that this is to be taken seriously and to follow through." (We shall see.) Burlison: "On the way back after the visit, the White House staffer and the other person that had made it happen both said to me that they loved doing this. This was one of the funnest things they've ever done in their job, and that these other future site locations are not at all gonna be a burden to them. If anything, they're excited and looking forward to it." (Are we going to learn who those people are? Transparency? If not, why not? We pay their salaries.) James Fox: "I had a really quick follow-up question, Congressman. If you did find what you're looking for, is there a particular protocol, or what's the directive if you find what you're looking for?" Burlison: "If I find what I'm looking for, I'm gonna be very careful to protect any kind of national-security interest. But at the same time, I've been very clear that it is not the right of this country to withhold basic, fundamental evidence that we may or may not be alone. And so, if we have any kind of evidence of that, we should be telling the world and not holding back. And give as many details as possible, and release...be as transparent as possible without jeopardizing our secrets and national security. Or secrets that pertain...that our national security is dependent upon." (For now, keep the method of propulsion (energy source) secret and away from our adversaries and tell us everything else!) Burlison: "Well, I'm just gonna speculate, okay? If we have a type of technology that we have reverse engineered, that gives us a strategic advantage that our adversaries have not? I think that, for example, letting the world know that we have this craft, here it is, here's a photo of it, but you don't have to tell the world how exactly the...what you've reverse engineered, or how that operates." (Photos aren't going to cut it. If they exist, we need to see these craft (and bodies?) in person, with our own eyes. Put them in the Smithsonian and let us see all of it. And allow independent scientists to do their own analysis so we can verify that it's non-human or anomalous.) Burlison: "In the same way that when the nuclear bomb first was invented and utilized, the world knew, we revealed to the world that we have this capability, but we certainly are not gonna tell people how to make one and the specifics behind that. So, I think that for me, that's how I would answer that question. If you were asking me, 'What would you be willing to protect as far as national security?' That would be the nature of it. "Now, I think if the technology that's derived has nothing to do with changing our threat dynamic with an adversary, and it might benefit society and the world, by all means, let's release it. Let's let the world scientific minds utilize anything that we might have discovered. And so, that's where I personally stand." (But we all that it's not going to be that simple. Most likely (if this is all legit), we'll have craft and bodies, and the tech from the craft can give us an advantage over our adversaries, while at the same time, potentially, be used to change and improve the world and human condition. So what do we do? Keep it secret? Tell the world and take our chances?) Burlison: "I don't know, I couldn't tell you what Hillary meant by that." (EB was referring to the recent interview/deposition about Epstein where Hillary Clinton said that she would release UFO files but they would be "subject to any national security implications" and it should be done so that "no national security information is disclosed." She didn't get specific.) Burlison: "If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world. If we, you know, if what Eric Davis said to me - and now that was not in a hearing in which he had been sworn in, and I'm not saying that he was telling me a falsehood - when he said that there are four alien species - and that kind of went viral - I mean, if we, if we do have evidence of that, I want the world to know. I don't see why that would be of national security interest to withhold that from the world." (Unless, the people who have seen the bodies say something like, "Their skin is something that can be used as armor and we can't allow our adversaries to learn about that. Just trying to think of reasons why the gatekeepers will tell us that information needs to be kept secret.)

Burlison: "Well, I'm just gonna speculate, okay? If we have a type of technology that we have reverse engineered, that gives us a strategic advantage that our adversaries have not? I think that, for example, letting the world know that we have this craft, here it is, here's a photo of it, but you don't have to tell the world how exactly the...what you've reverse engineered, or how that operates." (Photos aren't going to cut it. If they exist, we need to see these craft (and bodies?) in person, with our own eyes. Put them in the Smithsonian and let us see all of it. And allow independent scientists to do their own analysis so we can verify that it's non-human or anomalous.) Burlison: "In the same way that when the nuclear bomb first was invented and utilized, the world knew, we revealed to the world that we have this capability, but we certainly are not gonna tell people how to make one and the specifics behind that. So, I think that for me, that's how I would answer that question. If you were asking me, 'What would you be willing to protect as far as national security?' That would be the nature of it. "Now, I think if the technology that's derived has nothing to do with changing our threat dynamic with an adversary, and it might benefit society and the world, by all means, let's release it. Let's let the world scientific minds utilize anything that we might have discovered. And so, that's where I personally stand." (But we all that it's not going to be that simple. Most likely (if this is all legit), we'll have craft and bodies, and the tech from the craft can give us an advantage over our adversaries, while at the same time, potentially, be used to change and improve the world and human condition. So what do we do? Keep it secret? Tell the world and take our chances?) Burlison: "I don't know, I couldn't tell you what Hillary meant by that." (EB was referring to the recent interview/deposition about Epstein where Hillary Clinton said that she would release UFO files but they would be "subject to any national security implications" and it should be done so that "no national security information is disclosed." She didn't get specific.) Burlison: "If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world. If we, you know, if what Eric Davis said to me - and now that was not in a hearing in which he had been sworn in, and I'm not saying that he was telling me a falsehood - when he said that there are four alien species - and that kind of went viral - I mean, if we, if we do have evidence of that, I want the world to know. I don't see why that would be of national security interest to withhold that from the world." (Unless, the people who have seen the bodies say something like, "Their skin is something that can be used as armor and we can't allow our adversaries to learn about that. Just trying to think of reasons why the gatekeepers will tell us that information needs to be kept secret.)

Tlon Messenger is now open to everyone. We built a simple and infinitely flexible platform for you to use AI agents with your friends. We think it’s pretty amazing, we love using it every day, and we want to see what people can do with it. So we’re opening it up to the public. It’s fun and exciting to build the future of personal computing in an informal, chat-based way with your friends. (You can skip the rest and just download it from the link in the next tweet if you want.) If you don’t want your digital future to be owned by a giant company but you want to explore what’s possible in this new era of agent-driven computing, you should try using Tlon. But wait, what is it? Tlon is a messaging platform built 100% open source, decentralized and owned by its users from the ground up. With Tlon you own everything: your data, your workflows, your programs: the whole thing. Think of it like Telegram or WhatsApp that you own forever and you can freely customize. Every Tlon account comes with an OpenClaw-powered bot. (Don’t worry, we safely run OpenClaw for you in our infrastructure so your bot can’t go off the rails. You’re also welcome to host your own claw if you want maximal control.) We use our bots to collect research, build nuanced daily briefings, collate data from all our disparate services. Tlon makes it insanely easy to use OpenClaw by simply installing an app from the app store, we let you keep your data and programs independent from any app or model provider, and provide the canvas to explore what’s possible. What’s most interesting for us is using bots together. On Tlon bots can create groups, augment them, moderate them, invite others and freely engage with both users and other bots. Tlon is an open playing field unlike what’s possible on conventional platforms. So, what do we do with Tlon? First and foremost, we run Tlon on Tlon. Bots coordinate data from all of our services (Linear, GitHub, all of our servers and infrastructure) and handle alerts, briefings and help us track down bugs in place. Having all of this easily synced between a desktop client and a mobile app is quick and convenient. We use bots to research new areas of work or interest. Bots can compile trees of notes, use different models to evaluate them, and then add on autoresearch-like automations to go even deeper. Since Tlon bots can freely switch between models and providers, we often pass research to Anthropic, OpenAI and self-hosted models to see different results. The most fun part of using bots as researchers is doing it together. “Put together short (~500 word) notes on the 10 most popular open source messaging protocols of the past twenty years, put them in a notebook inside a group and invite Corrina, Walt and Bill as well as their bots” is a good example. Together we’re able to move more quickly than we would on our own. Many of us also use bots to keep track of all the separate threads of work in our personal lives with close friends and family. Someone built a system for keeping track of their garden across time, someone else built a system for prepping lunches for their daughter and sending recipes to family members. Another team member built an integration that tracks what flights are passing overhead so they get a push notification every time a plane goes by. Many of us quickly communicate with our bots via voice memo when we’re out and about. Having a single interface to all the models that also holds all our data and is in our pockets feels great. Especially when the data goes into a single archive. Why is Tlon different? Every Tlon account runs on top of your very own personal server. If you ever want to download it and run it yourself, you can. If we ever go out of business, it’s yours to keep. This is very different from anything that already exists. You can’t keep your WhatsApp forever. You can’t keep your Telegram forever. Tlon is an archival-quality system that’s yours to customize. Why did we build it? In my 1999 imagination, sitting in front of a CRT somewhere in the California countryside listening to Underworld and the sound of a modem, a connected computer was an engine of unending creative potential for everyone. When I was a teenager, a computer with an internet connection felt like an infinite expanse of possibility. Not only could you use the computer to find new tools to experiment with—you could also build whatever tool you could think of. It seemed like anything was possible. I looked forward to a future where everyone could build whatever software they needed, whenever they needed it. It turned out, in the intervening twenty years, that to build and customize software you have to both write code and host it on a server somewhere. For most people, so far, that has been impossible. Instead of controlling our software, our software controls us. We rely on others to build it and decide everything about it: how it works, looks, how much it spies on us and how long it lives. But all of this is changing, fast. The hottest programming language of 2026 is English. People with no technical experience are building their own tools. It’s incredible. The expanse has opened up again. The cost of building what we think of today as software is headed to zero. What yesterday was an entire app is rapidly being replaced by a conversation. The result is hyper-specific, tailored to the user and much more efficient. Today, agents help us build workflows, automate processes and pull together disparate sources of data. All of the annoying apps and services and clunky interface we’ve put up with can just disappear. We can now program and control our computers in the programming language we already know: English. There aren’t that many of us doing this yet, though. It’s still far too hard to set up, to distribute and to trust. There’s also no single platform to experiment on and collaboratively imagine this new future of personal computing. We want everyone to be able to build bespoke, ultra-personal software on demand. We think software should be as available and accessible as a pen and paper. We think anyone should be able to enjoy the expanse of possibility that the computer provides with the lowest possible barrier to entry and the highest possible quality. So, starting far, far too long ago, we engineered a whole new system for it. Just for you. We’re opening up Tlon Messenger to a limited number of people each week. This isn’t for exclusivity’s sake, but because we’re running infrastructure for you and your agent, and covering the tokens your agent uses. That can get expensive quickly, but we want to learn what people will do with this new system we’ve built. We’re really curious to see what you can do, so give it a try and tell us what you invent.

Grateful for the outpouring the past few days. I can’t tell you how motivating it is to have people care so much about Arc. The encouragement, the criticism, the confusion. Took it all in <3 As a thank you, I’d like to speak more plainly about what’s happening and why – we owe it to you: 1. Every person who joined or invested in our company did so to build products beloved by hundreds of millions of people. “We want to be to the browser what the iPhone was to the cellphone” has been our rallying cry since Day One. We knew chance of success was low but the ambition made us leap out of bed every morning. 2. Arc is beloved, popular, and growing (4x daily actives YoY). But it’s now clear that what most people love about the product *is also* what will prevent it from reaching hundreds of millions of people in our target demographic (people who spend hours in their browsers each day for their livelihood). Arc is a niche browser, even if we did not intend for it to be so. 3. Luckily, we architected this company – from company name to investors and technical architecture – to support multiple products since Day One. See Arc Search. Our favorite brands have multiple product lines in the same category too (Apple, Nike, Disney). Hence our realization: why keep trying to make Arc something it is not? Nobody who loved Arc wanted Arc Max. Arc members just want it to be more stable, secure, and performant. “Let’s just do that!” 4. With Arc as our beloved but niche browser #1, we asked ourselves a simple question: if we founded the company TODAY (in 2024), with everything that we know, what would the browser of the future look like for hundreds of millions of people? Let’s go build *that* product, alongside Arc. A second browser that is easier to use, more focused, and more powerful. All in order to live up to our founding mission (#1 above). 5. Yet none of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for the timing (market timing is most underrated startup ingredient). Mark my words: the Web is going to dramatically change in 2025 – much more than we all appreciate. Crazy new AI & computer-use models are incoming. I promise you that new browsers will be the story of 2025 (The Browser Company aside). Why? The browser layer is the obvious epicenter of AI & Agents because of its unique context, cookies, & apps. 6. To build a breakthrough consumer product (#1) – like truly breakthrough – you need a catalyzing innovation or technology. AI will be that for the next era of browsers, whether we win or someone else does. So why us (other than Arc is niche)? Our belief is that not only do you need the browser layer to win, but “the hard part” is nailing the interface, the interactions, the storytelling. That’s our bread & butter. That’s the expertise of our team. Now you can see how these puzzle pieces fit together… We built something people love (in Arc) and we intend to stick by it. But we also won’t lose sight of why our team poured so much blood, sweat and tears over the past 4 years into this company: the mission to build a new interface to the internet used by hundreds of millions of people every day. It truly feels like the moment we were waiting for is here and we won’t miss it. Everything we’ve done up until this point was for this type of window, even if we couldn’t have predicted it would play out exactly this way. We’re hopeful that more of you will understand why we’re building this second product soon. I feel confident you will once we can show you more of what we’re dreaming up, and once more of the things we’ve heard and seen in the industry reveal themselves soon. Candidly, we wanted to wait on this announcement but random stuff was leaking and it seemed wrong for you to hear from anyone except us first. We’ve always been at our best when we’re open & honest. We’ll continue to be. Finally, THANK YOU, again, for the love & tough love. We don’t take it for granted. We can’t wait to ship, ship, ship in early 2025!

I’ve made a short film. Look at the things around you: doors, bins, staircases, furniture, railings, doorhandles, windows. Do you like how they look, or not? Modern design has become boring, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The word “beautiful” is overused. We don’t need “beautiful” lamps, bus stops, and water fountains – we just need lamps, bus stops, and water fountains that are interesting, that actually mean something. Or, at the very least, not boring. Because the aesthetics of architecture and urban design aren’t just a bonus; they totally change how we think, feel, and behave. Boring environments make us more stressed and less productive; they erode our sense of community; they make us sadder, less trusting, and lonelier. A boring world is one where we spend even more time online and where our addictions are even harder to battle. The Problem There is global, widespread dissatisfaction with how the world looks. In this film, and the series it will lead to, we want to investigate that feeling and give it a voice. The point isn’t that we should return to the past or get rid of modernism. It’s about learning from the past in order to improve the present, and about giving the public what they very clearly want, which isn’t the eradication of modernism but the co-existence of modernism AND traditionalism. Just look where tourists go, where they take their photos, and that tells you everything you need to know about what most people find interesting or beautiful. And look at where people go on holiday. It’s always to cities filled with old architecture and design, with churches and mosques and palaces, with charming little alleyways and stone staircases and wrought-iron railings. Of the world’s fifty most visited buildings, only four were made in the 20th century, and they’re all museums or memorials. There’s a reason why posts about this go viral online all the time. Regardless of why the change happened, it is clearly the case that we no longer make things how we used to. People are rightly confused by the fact that old lamp posts (to take the example we focus on in the film) are usually so pretty, while modern ones are usually so boring. Some people say this is just an example of survivorship bias… and they’re mostly correct. But that’s the whole point! Saying old buildings are usually prettier than modern buildings is not to say that architecture used to be better, or that the past was better. It is simply to say that certain kinds of buildings, because they have been preserved, are good examples of what people like most. In which case... shouldn't we try to design at least some buildings in a way that we know people like? A Unifying Cause Everybody, from all sides of the political spectrum and all backgrounds, stands to benefit from a world that is designed more thoughtfully and imaginatively. The world could be such a colourful, meaningful, and thrilling place! So this isn’t about left versus right or conservatism versus progressivism; it’s about making our world a more interesting and meaningful place to live in. This should be a unifying cause, because everybody loses out when our homes and cities are badly designed. I want this film to unite people who think they’re on opposite sides, and to create a consensus that we need to change our approach to how we design our buildings and the objects – benches, bus stops, bins, lamp posts, aircon units – that fill our cities. The Importance of Details We are incredibly rich and have a sprawling choice of shows to stream, phones to buy, or shoes to wear… but everything feels more and more generic all the time. If you want to understand a society, don’t listen to what it says about itself – look at what it creates. You can learn everything about the Victorians – the good and the bad – just by looking at their lamp posts. And what do the ordinary details of the modern world say about us? That we are technologically advanced, very efficient… and care more about making money, about making things as quickly and cheaply as possible, than making our world an enjoyable place to actually live in. It’s important to learn about why and how things have changed, but that’s for another time. The first step is establishing that the public aren’t happy with modern architecture and design, and that something needs to be done. But what we need isn’t a total revival of so-called ‘traditionalism’; the truth is that traditionalism and modernism can (and should) co-exist. The trouble right now is that we only have one, and that people are tired of it. The Power of Noticing But this film (and the series it will, all being well, lead to) is about more than the specific argument it presents. Above all it’s about a way of seeing the world around us, a way of noticing and thinking. “How you do anything is how you do everything.” That is probably true, and it also applies to whole societies, not just individuals; a single doorbell implies everything else about the whole socio-economic and political system that gave rise to its creation. And, beyond being merely “useful”, the ability to notice details makes the world a richer place to live in, and life a richer thing to lead. This is what the film is about, more than anything: the power and joy of noticing. A Bigger Project This short film is just the beginning. We want to make a full series about the history of art and architecture, both for their own sake and also to see what we can learn about life in the twenty-first century and how to improve it. To keep updated you can join our email list over at our website, linked in the reply below. Final Words You can watch the film here on X, or over on YouTube, also linked in the reply below. So… this is where the dream begins, the dream of a new series and the dream of a more charming, more interesting, more meaningful modern world. Spread the word.

That we are technologically advanced, very efficient… and care more about making money, about making things as quickly and cheaply as possible, than making our world an enjoyable place to actually live in. It’s important to learn about why and how things have changed, but that’s for another time. The first step is establishing that the public aren’t happy with modern architecture and design, and that something needs to be done. But what we need isn’t a total revival of so-called ‘traditionalism’; the truth is that traditionalism and modernism can (and should) co-exist. The trouble right now is that we only have one, and that people are tired of it. The Power of Noticing But this film (and the series it will, all being well, lead to) is about more than the specific argument it presents. Above all it’s about a way of seeing the world around us, a way of noticing and thinking. “How you do anything is how you do everything.” That is probably true, and it also applies to whole societies, not just individuals; a single doorbell implies everything else about the whole socio-economic and political system that gave rise to its creation. And, beyond being merely “useful”, the ability to notice details makes the world a richer place to live in, and life a richer thing to lead. This is what the film is about, more than anything: the power and joy of noticing. A Bigger Project This short film is just the beginning. We want to make a full series about the history of art and architecture, both for their own sake and also to see what we can learn about life in the twenty-first century and how to improve it. To keep updated you can join our email list over at our website, linked in the reply below. Final Words You can watch the film here on X, or over on YouTube, also linked in the reply below. So… this is where the dream begins, the dream of a new series and the dream of a more charming, more interesting, more meaningful modern world. Spread the word.

🚨🇧🇫- Captain Message to Africans and the Diaspora. Talking to Africans and the diaspora who came from all over to attend our National Culture Week, Capitaine Ibrahim TRAORÉ said this, “How are our cities ? We can develop them. Our systems of health, education, we can develop them all. Here is it that in the diaspora, we have all the specialities. Today in Burkina, we are thinking about creating a polytechnic university only to train scientific engineers. And I think you will be welcome to come and teach our young brothers. Because, as long as we don’t train the youth so that we can by ourselves produce and transform here on site, we will remain slaves. Sovereignty is a whole lot of things. We are fighting for food self sufficiency. Those who can invest in the food industry to transform our produce right here are welcome. We produce everything here. Everything grows on our soils. We have experimented everything in about a year or so, everything grows in Burkina. Those who want to invest in agriculture are welcome, those in transformation are welcome. Education, we want to transform education because, the brainwashing that we are living started from school. They have channeled us so that the intellectuals they have trained cannot escape the furrows they have traced for us. Thank God, people are waking up. We need more, we need to change the educational system. You are welcome! And there are many other ways. They were plundering our WEALTH, and today we are taking back control, and WE WILL NEVER AGAIN LET OUR WEALTH BE PLUNDERED, because we want to live, we want our children cared for, educated, grow up in peace, and live in a healthy environment. So, we are open and you will be welcome to Africa to develop your continent, to unite your continent. And pass on the message of this unity! It is very important. Continue to pass on the message for the youth to wake up, THAT THEY NO LONGER LET US LEADERS MAKE THEM SLAVES FOR OTHERS. This must not be allowed. There are some countries today where we want to pass on messages. But, I think your voices carry even more, because, you are ambassadors wherever you are, whether in America 🇺🇸, in Europe, in the Caribbeans, you are ambassadors, and when you speak, it can wake up. I urge you to speak. This is the mission that I entrust you to wake up the continent! Enjoy your stay, may God be with you! Thank you so much!” - End quote & translation. Alright, folks, this is it. Notice that Captain didn’t use the word resources or raw materials as we often do, but he used the word WEALTH. A natural resource in itself is nothing, it’s when you add value to it that it creates wealth. So, he knows what he is talking about. Also, he called on the youth to hold their leaders accountable. The damn politicians are sellouts and traitors. So, he is right when he said that we shouldn’t let them make us other people’s slaves. On that note, you heard him well! If you want to come to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Captain said they are open and waiting for you. Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao and the African Diaspora Development Initiative (ADDI) were in BF from April 26th- May 9th. I don’t know if their crew were part of the audience, but this is it. I’ve shown you what Seydou keita is doing in Mali 🇲🇱, this is what will happen across the AES. Africa is for Africans, at home and abroad. One love ❤️!

Jimmy speaking up about LOL tickets resale prices: “some prices just don’t make sense… even if you can afford it, maybe hold back a bit.” 🎫 💸 JIMMY AT HUAWEI SIAM PARAGON #HuaweiSiamParagonxJimmy #LOLFanFest2026 💬: What’s your next plan? 💜: The next plan is LOL. 💬: How’s that going? 💜: First of all, I’m happy for everyone who got a ticket. But I’d like to use this space to warn the fans: for those who didn't get one and are looking to buy resold tickets at prices that just... don't make sense... I mean, it’s your money, and if you're happy to pay, I won't stop you. But I personally feel that when the price becomes nonsensical, you really shouldn't pay. I want to look out for the fans on that. 💬: There were people who grabbed a ticket and jacked the price up to six figures! 💜: Honestly, I’m not happy about the prices climbing that high. I understand it’s a basic social mechanism, high demand and limited supply. Market forces work that way for everything, not just concerts. I used to be a "sneakerhead," and when limited shoes came out and prices doubled or tripled, I was willing to pay. But when the price is like... 🤨 [calculating] ...30 or 40 times the original? Even if you have the money, you should hit the brakes a bit. 💬: So you feel it’s just not worth it to pay six figures? 💜: Yes. Honestly, it is a huge event, but we also have Live Streaming available. And let’s be real, this won't be the last time you ever see us. I understand it’s a big deal and everyone wants to come support their favorite artists, but I think I can speak for all the LOL boys when I say: some things just aren't reasonable. I want fans to keep that in mind. 💬: Do you feel "down" or discouraged when fans comment saying they couldn't get a ticket at all? 💜: Personally, I don't feel down. Like I said, it’s supply and demand. There are fans who did manage to get them, and if I were sad, it wouldn't be fair to them. We should congratulate them! All of us in LOL will just focus on doing our absolute best to make the show worth the wait and worthy of this incredible response. 💬: What’s your take on how to handle people who resell at such inflated prices? 💜: 🙂‍↔️ I honestly don't know how to solve it. We’ve already been discussing this with friends and the management. We sit down and ask, "How do we deal with this?" Someone suggests one way, but it might disadvantage one group of people. Another suggestion might hurt another group. If anyone has a great solution, please share it! We’re listening. If it’s a good idea, we’ll improve things for the next event. If the executives see a comment with a viable method, I’d be very happy to hear it. 💬: So the LOL gang isn't just staying silent about this issue? 💜: I think the executives have seen this from the start. It’s not just GMMTV; every company selling concert tickets is trying to deal with this. It’s just that the perfect solution hasn't been found yet. 💬: How’s the preparation coming along? 💜: Right now, the behind-the-scenes team, choreographers, and show creators are starting to consult with the artists. We’re currently in the song selection phase. 💬: Are you guys pitching your own ideas? 💜: Yeah, there’s some of that. We’ve talked about wanting to do things a certain way this year. 💬: So it's all in the preparation stage? 💜: We’re still in the discussion phase with the team. 💬: Nothing set in stone yet for the performance? 💜: 😊 Yes. The exact show structure isn't crystal clear yet, but the theme is very distinct. It’s the racing theme, right? We're working on the show now.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage's New Year message to Britain "As 2025 draws to a close, I can’t remember the country ever being gloomier. People are getting poorer. More people are becoming unemployed. Inflation is proving sticky and our debt is running completely out of control, with a Chancellor who doesn’t seem to have a clue what she’s doing. "Worse than that, people are frightened now to walk down the street wearing a watch, wearing jewellery. Oh, and by the way, if you see anything rude on Facebook, you may well get a knock at the door! Well, I’ve come here today to Greenwich to have a think about what this country used to be, what it represented, and what it can become. "Greenwich was here at the very height of Britain’s naval power. And that wasn’t just about winning the Battle of Trafalgar and it wasn’t just about building the biggest empire the world had ever seen. It was also about a Royal Navy that spent decades, at huge cost, driving slavery off the high seas. We have an enormous amount of our past to be proud of, and yet our education system under both of the last governments now teaches our kids to be ashamed of the past. "Well, the first thing a Reform government will do is make sure kids are taught correctly about our history. But if you look behind these magnificent buildings, you see Canary Wharf, you see the 21st century, and not just traditional stocks and shares and bonds, but a whole new world developing: a world of cryptocurrencies, a world of AI, a world of digital assets. "And neither the Conservative or Labour seem to even understand this world in any way at all. Let me promise you that we do. These are the technologies of growth as we head forward in this century. But none of it can be done unless we produce our own energy, lots of it, and at cheap rates. Because of fanatical net zero policies, we will literally be left behind. "One in seven of you own a digital asset of some kind. Yet the government, the authorities, simply don’t seem to care. And that’s the point. We need change in this country, real change. And if we go on voting for the same old parties, I promise you nothing will change. "Think, just in the last few days, of the El-Fattah case. Here’s a guy that’s come out of Egypt, come back to Britain, who’s put out the most abominable, hateful tweets about killing Jews, killing white people, fighting the police. And this man was given citizenship by the Conservative Party and welcomed back into Britain by the Labour Party. Frankly, there is little to choose between the two. "We’re the people offering hope. We’re the people offering change. And 2025 showed you, with those county elections which we won comfortably, what we are capable of. As we look forward to 2026, we have a massive set of elections: the whole of Scotland and Wales, all 32 London boroughs and thousands of council seats all over the country. "And yet, what are we now seeing? We’re seeing a Labour government saying to those councils that if you want to cancel the elections, in some cases for the second year in a row, you can do so. And already East and West Sussex, controlled by the Conservatives, have said, thank you very much, we’ll cancel the elections. That is the kind of authoritarian country that we are now living in. "They’re even beginning to take away our right to vote. Well, they’ll cancel some, but most of those elections will go ahead. They will be the single most important set of elections between now and the next general election. "I’ll make this prediction: if Reform win those elections, if we come top, it will put us way ahead of the other parties. Already, we’ve led for 175 opinion polls in a row. Our average lead is 10%. If we get this right on May the 7th this year, we will go on and win that general election. "We will then absolutely have a chance of genuinely, fundamentally changing the whole system of government in Britain. We may well be the last chance this country has to actually restore some proper values. "Those are family, community, country, the ones upon which I based this policy when I founded it in the very beginning. But we cannot do this without you. And you will not get the change you want without us. "So let me ask you one thing. Please make it your New Year’s resolution to do something. Support Reform. Join Reform. Go out and spread the message that we are the party of hope. "We are the party of change. And we are genuinely the last chance for Britain"

Congratulations ZackeryFox🌏2️⃣👽 for your 2D concept art submission our team then took & brought to life in 3D for #Earth2🌍✌️This skin took longer given the detail & quality of the modelling but was definitely worth it! Read below for more important details & updates: The first variations of #CybercoreX will drop in about 8 hours. As mentioned in the article when we first started releasing skins, after #E2V1 officially launches we will be cutting back on #LimitedEdition skins & will predominantly focus on unlimited skins. In some cases these future unlimited skins will not be available for resale. This was always the plan as these early #LimitedEdition skins were released especially for early supporters. We will still release #LimitedEditions from time to time, but if & when we do so it will be at higher prices - which has also been mentioned numerous times in the past but I am just providing this as a reminder. I think we have 2-3 Limited Edition skins remaining before we transition into the standard skin system with unlimited skins & periodic availability - so there are not many left and these final Limited Edition drops will contain a few more rarer variations. #CybercoreX took a lot of additional work & team members strongly suggested the skin should be sold at a premium price, however I decided to keep the pricing in line with the other pre-#E2V1 Limited Edition releases. It is also important to note that as with many of the other Limited Edition skin releases with guns, the assault rifle & pistol will be sold separately. I'd also like to provide a quick update on the #E2V1 public release. The results from the initial testing group have been good so far, there are some issues we are working on fixing but nothing major. Considering it was our very first ever software release of the #Earth2 Launcher AND #E2V1, anyone with real experience releasing major software products would agree it went very smooth. Some #Players downloaded the launcher and were inside #E2V1 within 20 mins without any issues! You have major game or software developers releasing products after decades of experience & a million things go wrong .. often simple things .. our release was the dream type scenario & a real testament to our teams dedication, talent & ability! I'd like to include the option to spawn #avatars for the pre-alpha public release. The team has implemented the majority of this system with a few things remaining, which are actively being worked on at present. I just want to be clear that this NOT the avatar spawn system you have seen in demo videos to date where we just randomly spawn an avatar anywhere, that is simple & we could easily release that specific feature but it was only for demo purposes to showcase avatars can spawn anywhere in the world. To be transparent, what we are working to release now is the actual avatar spawn system intended for long term use where Players need to synthesise their #avatar from their #Mentar on their property to begin its actual life inside #E2V1. It's important to point out this involves numerous API integration, UI/UX updates and is not a simple random spawn. We anticipate there will almost surely be a number of potential bugs with this release so the plan is to first have it released to testers (WITH BUGS EXPECTED!) then stabilise & prepare for the public #E2V1 release. If you see people publishing footage of bugs online, remember we are in pre-alpha which we released to testers less than a month ago & testers are there to help us test and find issues we need to resolve. Our team is committed to fixing any major problems as they arise to improve the platform and keep moving forward. We should have avatars into the hands of testers this week. Remember, once you are inside your avatar you will not have that free camera flying ability. This makes teleportation very important for #Players who want to travel to different locations. So we will also need to start testing the teleportation system, and there is some potentially exciting news I have been keeping close to my chest which will soon be revealed. As always, thanks for your patience and support! Remember, we are literally less than one month since releasing #E2V1 to testers (less than a month ago there were still those who claimed we pre-rendered everything) so these are still early days! It may feel a little slow at first but we plan to release things to do inside of #E2V1 progressively and before you know it there will be too much to do! #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1

Congratulations ZackeryFox🌏2️⃣👽 for your 2D concept art submission our team then took & brought to life in 3D for #Earth2🌍✌️This skin took longer given the detail & quality of the modelling but was definitely worth it! Read below for more important details & updates: The first variations of #CybercoreX will drop in about 8 hours. As mentioned in the article when we first started releasing skins, after #E2V1 officially launches we will be cutting back on #LimitedEdition skins & will predominantly focus on unlimited skins. In some cases these future unlimited skins will not be available for resale. This was always the plan as these early #LimitedEdition skins were released especially for early supporters. We will still release #LimitedEditions from time to time, but if & when we do so it will be at higher prices - which has also been mentioned numerous times in the past but I am just providing this as a reminder. I think we have 2-3 Limited Edition skins remaining before we transition into the standard skin system with unlimited skins & periodic availability - so there are not many left and these final Limited Edition drops will contain a few more rarer variations. #CybercoreX took a lot of additional work & team members strongly suggested the skin should be sold at a premium price, however I decided to keep the pricing in line with the other pre-#E2V1 Limited Edition releases. It is also important to note that as with many of the other Limited Edition skin releases with guns, the assault rifle & pistol will be sold separately. I'd also like to provide a quick update on the #E2V1 public release. The results from the initial testing group have been good so far, there are some issues we are working on fixing but nothing major. Considering it was our very first ever software release of the #Earth2 Launcher AND #E2V1, anyone with real experience releasing major software products would agree it went very smooth. Some #Players downloaded the launcher and were inside #E2V1 within 20 mins without any issues! You have major game or software developers releasing products after decades of experience & a million things go wrong .. often simple things .. our release was the dream type scenario & a real testament to our teams dedication, talent & ability! I'd like to include the option to spawn #avatars for the pre-alpha public release. The team has implemented the majority of this system with a few things remaining, which are actively being worked on at present. I just want to be clear that this NOT the avatar spawn system you have seen in demo videos to date where we just randomly spawn an avatar anywhere, that is simple & we could easily release that specific feature but it was only for demo purposes to showcase avatars can spawn anywhere in the world. To be transparent, what we are working to release now is the actual avatar spawn system intended for long term use where Players need to synthesise their #avatar from their #Mentar on their property to begin its actual life inside #E2V1. It's important to point out this involves numerous API integration, UI/UX updates and is not a simple random spawn. We anticipate there will almost surely be a number of potential bugs with this release so the plan is to first have it released to testers (WITH BUGS EXPECTED!) then stabilise & prepare for the public #E2V1 release. If you see people publishing footage of bugs online, remember we are in pre-alpha which we released to testers less than a month ago & testers are there to help us test and find issues we need to resolve. Our team is committed to fixing any major problems as they arise to improve the platform and keep moving forward. We should have avatars into the hands of testers this week. Remember, once you are inside your avatar you will not have that free camera flying ability. This makes teleportation very important for #Players who want to travel to different locations.

Vaccine-Injured Man Confronts British Prime Minister on GB News JOHN WATTS: "Hi, Rishi Sunak. I've got so much to say but such little time. My name is John Watt, and I'm one of the COVID vaccine injured in this country. "I want you to look into my eyes, Rishi Sunak, and I want you to look at the pain, the trauma, and the regret I have in my eyes. We have been left with no help at all. "Not only am I in here [who's] vaccine injured; there's another man over there whose life's been ruined by that Covid-19 vaccine. I know people who have lost legs — amputations. I know people with heart conditions like myself, Rishi Sunak. "Why have I had to set up a support group in Scotland to look after the people that have been affected by that Covid-19 vaccine? Why are the people who are in charge who told us all to do the right thing have left us all to rot and left me and the thousands and the tens of thousands in this country to rot? "Rishi Sunak, look me in the eye. When are you going to start to do the right thing? The vaccine damage payment scheme is not fit for purpose. In Scotland right now, according to the yellow card system, there are over 30,000 people [who] have had an adverse reaction to that vaccine." PM RISHI SUNAK: "John, thank you very much indeed for your question." JOHN WATTS: "Thank you to start doing the right thing, Mr. Rishi Sunak." PM RISHI SUNAK: "You've made a really strong point, John. Well, I'm very sorry to hear about your personal circumstances, and you said someone over here also seems to have suffered by a similar thing. Now, obviously, I don't know about the individual situation that you're in." JOHN WATTS: "We are silenced, Rishi. On social media and everything. We are silenced! We are the most silenced people in this country!" OTHER VACCINE-INJURED MAN: "Silence in the press because my story in the press — I had to go to the government for comment, and they made them take all that stuff out." MODERATOR: Forgive me both. Sir, you raised some very valid points, I'm sure. What I've got to say is, though, we haven't got you on microphone, and as you know, we've got to get through this. I'm sure we can raise your points with the Prime Minister at a later date, but in the meantime, Prime Minister, if you have not covered the issue." RISHI SUNAK: "I'm very happy to. So there is a vaccine compensation scheme that's in place, as you alluded to, in the NHS. Obviously, everyone individually will work through their cases. It's difficult for me to comment on anyone's individual case. I'm sure you'll appreciate that. "I'm very happy to go and look at the cases, and I'm sure you'll get them to the team here. I'm very saddened and shocked to hear that you've been silenced by anybody. That is surprising to me. "So please do get your details to Stephen and the team, and I will happily take that away. Of course, you should be able to speak about your experience — what's happened to you. And as I said, we have a compensation scheme in place for that, and I'll make sure that we're working through that. "Obviously, I think you'll appreciate it's hard for me to comment on your specific circumstances — just not knowing them. And those things that." (Other Vaccine-Injured Man Begins Speaking) MODERATOR: "Please forgive me, sir. We haven't got a microphone on you, so our viewers and listeners won't be able to hear what you say." RISHI SUNAK: "The last thing I'd say is we went through a pandemic like everyone else at the points when it came to the vaccine. Those decisions were always taken on the basis of medical advice from our medical experts to tell us, as politicians, who are obviously not doctors, about how best to roll out the vaccine, what was in the public health interest, the priority order, how that should be done, who should be eligible. That was something that the doctors recommended on, and that's something that we followed. "Now, obviously, if there are individual circumstances which haven't worked out, then that's why we have the compensation scheme in place and I'll make sure that we follow up on your cases." MODERATOR: "Okay, Prime Minister. Thank you. Gents, both of you, do give us your details. We will get that to the Prime Minister. And as he said, he will, I'm sure, look at that for you."

I can’t get over it… White people on the left saying racism is inherent in America, or in all White people, but somehow it doesn’t apply to them? For these Blacks on the left it doesn’t apply to their White friends. Some of you Black folks have one White parent, don’t hate them? The word “inherent” means that it applies to all White people and can’t be changed. It’s a ridiculous reverse racist idea, but furthermore it’s impractical because what are you fighting for exactly then? Oh… You hate yourself and America and this is just an exercise of your own personal despair. The truth is you’re too cowardly to kill yourself, so you project the slow rot of your own psyche onto our nation. Seek God, go to therapy, help the homeless, but stop with the sadomasochism. There is a spiritual, cultural and political crisis in America. But it all stems from an intellectual crisis. The spirit and the intellect are inextricably linked. We have lost it and I’m embarrassed this is what our political dialogue has devolved into. I don’t even think people are interested in the truth anymore, if we were our country would look different from top to bottom. Then to avoid any real change that’s actually achievable, we fight, because chaos is easier than solution. There’s a solution and running for office people always ask me about policy. 1st things 1st, my policy is tell the truth. Stop with all the nonsense. Stop lying so damn much. Both parties are broken and we all know it, but we still need government because most of you couldn’t survive without it. So we trade a little liberty to function. That has little to do with party, we could create new parties and they’ll still just be a function of how we choose to live as Americans. The problem isn’t the parties, they suck, the problem is us. This battleground is silly though… We have to have a border and illegal immigrants need to go back. Don’t say it’s not about deportations, you all were at the rally on Friday chanting “not down with deportations.” I’m sorry to say it, I’m as limited government as they come but come on… This is absurd. You better not be at those schools teaching our children to interfere in arrests. You all loved the government when Dr. Fauci was lying to us about COVID. Some of you are still wearing masks out there now. No telling how many of you took the vaccine. It’s ok! You can let it go. Not just COVID, but the entire political theater, just let it go.
