ELON MUSK REVEALS SPACEX'S SECRET TO ENDLESS INNOVATION "This is our little snack section. So we offer people at work here get free snacks and drinks, which is kind of a common thing in the internet world, but relatively unusual in the space world. I think if people are working late and they need a snack or something, they should have one readily available." This glimpse into SpaceX's ethos showcases Elon's visionary approach to fostering a high-performance environment by borrowing from tech giants. It underscores his commitment to employee well-being, ensuring teams can push boundaries without basic hurdles. Philosophically, it reflects Elon's belief in blending cultures to accelerate progress toward multi-planetary life. Source: Elon Musk - SpaceX

The flood affected me so bad that I was traumatised by the sound of rain for days. I couldn’t go to the office or attend some meetings. Disappointed clients! My son couldn’t also go to school for a whole week, and the time he managed to go, we had to go drop and pick him by walking through the water that wasn’t flowing. The days I was able to go out or it’s important to, I had to follow trailers and trucks just to cross the water. No bike, no bolt or anything to come around. My car was also badly damaged by water because I drove it through the water. In fact, I spent so much that I got angry yesterday when I was asked to pay another money to fix something again that was damaged by water. We had to buy a pumping or draining machine to start draining the water into the coastal road drainage which became a waste of money and effort because the rain was just back to back. My plan is now to just move out of this location, despite having 8months lefts in rent, to a better on, free from flood and stagnant waters.

Stalin’s communist Five Year Plan was a calculated campaign to break the Kazakhs. Under orders from Moscow, the regime launched forced collectivization on a nomadic people who had lived by their herds for centuries. They seized livestock on a massive scale, pushed sedentarization, and imposed collective farms that made no sense on the steppe, all while extracting grain to feed the cities and fuel Stalin’s industrial fantasies. The Kazakh herds collapsed by roughly 80%, food was taken even as starvation spread, and the regime treated resistance or flight as class enemy activity. And the result was the Asharshylyq, a manmade famine that killed an estimated 1.5 million people and wiped out nearly 40% of the entire ethnic Kazakh population in just a few years. Survivors fled by the hundreds of thousands, many dying along the way. This was the predictable outcome of an ideology that treated human beings as raw material for the state, turning the steppe into a mass grave.

⭕🇮🇹 REJECTED ➜ REBUILT ➜ RULING THE SEAS: The 76mm Gun That Took Over the World What began as an underwhelming naval weapon has become one of the most trusted guns on warships across the world. Italy’s second generation 76mm/62 naval gun, developed by Oto Melara, initially failed to impress. Early performance left much to be desired, and it risked fading into obscurity. That changed when the Israeli Navy stepped in. Known for its rigorous standards, the navy conducted an in depth evaluation and identified more than 100 areas for improvement. What followed was a complete transformation. Engineers refined the system to deliver rapid fire capability, significantly improved accuracy, and enhanced reliability in demanding conditions. Maintenance was also simplified, making it far more practical for long term deployment. The results were decisive. The once overlooked weapon evolved into a high performance naval gun system, now widely adopted by navies and coast guards around the globe. Today, it stands as a reminder that even the most modest beginnings can lead to global success when backed by relentless testing and refinement.

🚨NO,THE GAME OF POLO WAS NOT INVENTED IN MANIPUR! 📌 The claim by Meiteis that an obscure figure named King Kangba of Kangleipak (Manipur) invented Polo (sagol kangjei) around 5140 BC or 7200 years ago is bereft of any logical foundation, historical truth or archaeological evidence. In fact, There is not a single trace of such a king in any CREDIBLE historical record, inscription or archaeological source. 🐎Even more absurdly, DNA analysis by Archeologist indicates that horse domestication began only around 2200 BC or 4200 years ago. (a full 3000 years after the fanciful legend that an obscure king of a non existing kingdom conceived a sport dependent on an animal not yet domesticated). 📍The true roots of Polo can be traced to the mounted nomads of Central Asia, who played an early form of the game which was as much a test of horsemanship & combat readiness as it was a sport. These early matches, sometimes involving up to a hundred riders per side, tested not only horsemanship but also coordination & combat readiness. 🚨By the 6th century BCE, these nomadic horsemen, ancestors of the modern Mongols & Persians had developed rudimentary forms of polo or Chovgan (čowgân), which soon spread across the vast steppes of Asia. As these tribes migrated & founded empires, they carried the sport with them into Persia, present-day Iran. There, around the 5th century BCE, polo evolved from a rugged tribal contest into a refined into a regal persuit. The Persians are rightly credited with transforming polo from a war exercise into a game of into an aristocratic team sport, eventually adopting it as their national sport. 📌 In fact, the first recorded polo tournament between the Turkomans & Persians dates back to around 600 BCE, 2600 years ago with the Turkomans emerging victorious. The term "Polo" is believed to derive from the Balti word "Pholo" or "Pulu" (Tibetan for "Willow branch"), which corrupted to "Polo" hinting at its deep cultural connections along the Silk Road. From Persia, polo's influence spread far & wide, westward to Byzantium, eastward to Tibet, China & Japan & southward into the Indian subcontinent. Each civilization not only adopted the sport but also infused it with its own traditions & values. By the 7th century CE, polo had reached as far as Japan from China. 📌 The Mughals were chiefly responsible for taking the game from Persia & reintroducing or popularizing Polo in the Indian subcontinent. It was Emperor Babur, in the 16th century who established & formalize the sport in India, where it flourished as a royal pastime. (It had already long been played in China and Japan, but had died out by the time the West came in contact with those countries). Earlier, the game's harshest incarnations even saw the use of human or animal heads in place of balls, a practice that eventually gave way to the pulu, a ball made from willow root. 📌 The British Colonial officers stumbled upon the game of Polo only in the mid 19th Century AD, when the Manipuri king, seeking British protection from Burma, threw himself upon British protection, turning his kingdom into a protectorate state under their suzerainty. Enthralled by the sport, the British carried it back to England & across Europe, dressed it in Victorian polish & gloablised it under imperial Patronage while packaging it as their latest civilised pastime. 📌 But make no mistake, The game of Polo's cradle was never Manipur's Valley & to suggest that Polo originated in Manipur is not only a distortion of history but an illusion of history. Long before Manipur's chronicles even began & thousands of years before Manipur (Kangleipak) even entered recorded time, the game of Polo had already flourished across the steppes of Central Asia for centuries, sustained by the skills of Mongolian horsemen, Persians Nobles & warriors whose bloodline predated both the British & the Meiteis by Millenia & whose ancestors knew no such name as Britain, let alone Manipur or Kangleipak.

SHADOWS OF SABOTAGE: ELON'S DEFIANT STAND A chilling moment where genius meets grit. "I'm not someone who's ever committed violence. Um, and yet, uh, massive violence was committed against my companies. Massive violence was threatened against me. Who are these people? Why would they do that? How wrong can they be? They're on the wrong side of history. And that's an evil thing to do." - ELON MUSK This moment captures Elon’s passion in the face of turbulence— a powerful reminder of how deeply leadership intersects with the world around us. It highlights the human side of a visionary, revealing the weight carried by those pushing civilization forward. Instead of aggression, it invites reflection: in a time where technology and imagination shape our shared destiny, what does it mean to stand for progress? Philosophically, it becomes a conversation about innovation, courage, and the people willing to step into the unknown. Emotionally, it reads as the voice of someone who has built extraordinary things and continues to protect the future they’re creating—for all of us.

It is truly remarkable how today’s media operates, and how the so-called “virality” can so easily distort reality. A sentence spoken in good humor, in the spirit of friendship, suddenly turns into a worldwide headline of an entire summit among dozens of nations, while all the rest, the real substance, becomes irrelevant. But yes, it was good fun today to be with my old friend Ilham Aliyev and, in the presence of our dear common friend Emmanuel Macron, to refer to a slip of President Trump that even Albania managed to make peace with Azerbaijan, while Emmanuel himself worked tirelessly, for a long time, to bring peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia. A lighthearted remark, a friendly moment. Of course, no issue if it spreads, but to twist it into political venom is simply unfair. So let us set the record straight: The truth is that President Trump has shown himself to be a leader who restored the word ‘peace’ to the vocabulary of the West after many years. And yes, in a remarkably short time, he has achieved peace where others tried but failed and he continues to pursue it tirelessly. That exchange was nothing more than a moment of good humor among people who are, in fact, among President Trump’s greatest admirers.

This mom makes her eleven year old son walk a mile around the neighborhood before he can have any screen time. She said she does this to regulate his mood and energy, to build discipline to let him know fun comes after the effort, not the other way around, and, it reduces arguments - you work first and then play later, the expectations are set. Many people focused on his walking around the neighborhood by himself but she says she lives in a neighborhood where she feels very comfortable. A lot of people applauded her for making her son get outside, that it was not only healthy for his body but for his mind as well. She said this is not a punishment. I think kids in this day and age need to be forced to get outside. Too many of us allow them to stare at screens all day long. I applaud her for her routine with her son. What do you think of her morning routine for her eleven year old son?

She never leaves home without her cloth bags. And every time she shops, 10 to 12 plastic bags quietly disappear from the world. For years now, Shyamala has carried her own bags to the market. Not as a statement. Not for applause. Just as a habit, she never dropped. When you pause and add it up, the impact is staggering. Hundreds of plastic bags are avoided by one person. Thousands of years. All because she chose to remember one simple thing before stepping out. This is how change often begins. Not with campaigns or posters. But with small, repeatable choices that feel ordinary, yet ripple far beyond us.

The castles of Europe are some of the most amazing things we’ve inherited from history Between 75,000 and 100,000 castles were built in Western Europe during the medieval period, with around 1,700 in England and Wales alone, and roughly 14,000 in German-speaking areas... Most of them rose between the 9th and 15th centuries after the collapse of centralized Roman authority and the rise of fragmented feudal power. As attacking armies grew more sophisticated, so did the walls meant to stop them. The cost was staggering: from 1179 to 1188, King Henry II of England spent over £6,500 on Dover Castle alone — an enormous sum given that his entire annual revenue was around £10,000. That figure was more than three times what he spent on any other building project in his reign, and more than four times what went into grand royal residences like Windsor. And then there is Malbork... Built by the Teutonic Knights in what is now Poland, Malbork is the largest castle in the world measured by land area. It covers 52 acres and once housed approximately 3,000 knights. A medieval visitor reportedly noted it seemed "more a city enclosed by walls than a single castle." In 950, Provence was home to just 12 castles. By 1000, the number had risen to 30. By 1030, it was over 100. The pace was not driven by a single empire with a plan, but by thousands of individual decisions made by lords, bishops, and kings who each decided, in their own time and place, that stone was the only reliable answer to an uncertain world... The word castle is derived from the Latin word castellum, which is a diminutive of the word castrum, meaning "fortified place". Between seventy-five thousand and a hundred thousand of these fortresses were built over six centuries as a reminder that every civilization eventually decides what it will leave behind. Europe decided on this. And the castles are still here.

This woman was going out and decided to pull into a dark road on the side of the highway that doesn’t get much traffic. She pulls her car over and gets sets up a camera and gets out so that she could do a “fit check” to make sure her outfit looks nice. There was a man who was walking away from her, as soon as she turned her back, he turned around and started walking towards her. She should have been more aware of what was happening around her. I think the man was hoping she would stick around longer, that’s why he turned back around. Wouldn’t you pick a more busy place to do something like this instead of a remote road away from traffic. In college sometimes I was working some odd jobs to make ends meet so I didn’t have to take out a loan. That meant sometimes I was walking back to the apartment at night, most of the time it was busy and there were people still walking around in the middle of the night, getting food or trying to make it home. It was a colder night than usual, the fall goat was warning me that winter was coming. Colder nights meant less people out and about. On the way home I was going to swing by the corner store to grab something to eat so I wouldn’t have to cook. As I was walking out I saw that there were a group of people at the corner, just hanging out and having a smoke, it was dark and I couldn’t see how many there was. I turned around and went back into the store. I let the clerk know and he looked out to see what was going on and he saw them too. He said to be careful because sometimes gang members like to hang out by that corner. I couldn’t call the police because they technically weren’t doing anything but I wasn’t about to find out either. I ended up waiting until they left about 15 minutes later.c then I proceeded to walk home, but not without looking behind me to make sure I wasn’t being followed.

This woman was going out and decided to pull into a dark road on the side of the highway that doesn’t get much traffic. She pulls her car over and gets sets up a camera and gets out so that she could do a “fit check” to make sure her outfit looks nice. There was a man who was walking away from her, as soon as she turned her back, he turned around and started walking towards her. She should have been more aware of what was happening around her. I think the man was hoping she would stick around longer, that’s why he turned back around. Wouldn’t you pick a more busy place to do something like this instead of a remote road away from traffic. In college sometimes I was working some odd jobs to make ends meet so I didn’t have to take out a loan. That meant sometimes I was walking back to the apartment at night, most of the time it was busy and there were people still walking around in the middle of the night, getting food or trying to make it home. It was a colder night than usual, the fall goat was warning me that winter was coming. Colder nights meant less people out and about. On the way home I was going to swing by the corner store to grab something to eat so I wouldn’t have to cook.

As blast gets closer to launch, I wanted to share some background on how it started and its key features. The original idea was simple: let creators tokenize their tweets and allow users to buy or sell tokens just by commenting. To make this work, we needed to create wallets linked to each Twitter handle, allow users to fund these wallets, and use LLMs to interpret comments like "buy 1% of XYZ", executing trades based on user intent. This concept also worked great for social tipping. In the attached video, I send money to Matteo without needing to know his wallet address, simply by commenting under his tweet. The transaction was processed quickly, with the LLM interpreting my comment in real-time. Matteo could then retrieve the funds sent to his handle by signing in with it at GiveRep. However xWallet didn't work out due to legal complexities (self-custody related). In the next tweet I will talk about blast's final form, highlight its unique features, and give a shout-out to all the incredible people who made it happen.

🚨FAMILY SAFETY SHOCK AT MOXY GLASGOW (MARRIOTT) Sent in by an anonymous follower: A concerned parent paid over £260 for a family room at Moxy Glasgow (a Marriott brand hotel) while hospitalised. Their children, aged 8 and 10, stayed one night with their mum. Staff confirmed to the parent that the hotel was occupied by single adult migrant men - information that was never disclosed at the time of booking. The 10 year old child was permitted to go downstairs alone. Loud conversations about Islam in the reception area left both children distressed and desperate to leave immediately. The parent chose Moxy specifically because it is part of the Marriott group and trusted the brand to provide a safe, family friendly environment. This incident raises serious safeguarding concerns. Families are paying full commercial rates yet being placed in mixed use accommodation without any prior warning or transparency. The parent is demanding a full refund and clear answers from the hotel group. Parents deserve honesty. Children deserve protection.

An incredibly rare situation as Imelda and Humberto *merge* in the Northwest Atlantic – two active hurricanes combining into one larger, more powerful hurricane! On Tuesday morning, Humberto and Imelda were separated by just 476.4 miles – second place to the record for closest Atlantic hurricanes. (Two hurricanes in 1853 made it to within 428 miles of one another). When hurricanes pass within 800 or 900 miles of each other, they interact in a rare dance called the "Fujiwhara." Basically, they dance around each other. Humberto was initially a much stronger hurricane. Over the weekend, it yanked Imelda eastward. That technically means that a hurricane helped spare the U.S. a strike from another hurricane! How ironic and bizarre is that!? But now Imelda is the stronger hurricane. It has winds of 90 mph, and Humberto's winds are at 80 mph. In the next couple days, Imelda will ingest Humberto's vorticity, or spin, and the two low pressure systems will fold into one larger, more powerful low over the northwest Atlantic. It will probably retain hurricane-strength winds, and it's likely the Hurricane Center will allow Imelda to keep its name! The Fujiwhara effect has happened before – iconic examples of the Fujiwhara dance were observed with Odette and Seroja in the Indian Ocean in 2021, or Hilary and Irwin in the eastern Pacific in 2017. The Fujiwhara effect happens with atmospheric vortices of all scales. For nontropical (midlatitude) cyclones to be influenced by each other’s presence and interact, they need to be within about 1,500 to 2,000 miles. Their interaction becomes more intense once they’re within about 1,200 miles. Hurricanes are smaller, so that threshold is smaller. But even tornadoes orbit one another in Fujiwhara-like interactions! When a storm spawns multiple tornadoes simultaneously, the twisters tend to swirl around each other in a counterclockwise fashion. In fact, that happens regularly with what’s called cyclical tornadogenesis, or the process by which rotating supercells produce successive tornadoes. A dying twister is tugged ahead of its successor, then swirled left (north) into the rain and hail where it’s stretched into oblivion. As its predecessor dissipates, the new, stout tornado matures and begins tracing its large counterclockwise path. These handoffs can happen every 15 or 20 minutes in powerhouse thunderstorms. The Fujiwhara effect can even manifest within individual tornadoes. Most tornadoes contain smaller whirlwinds called subvortices. They last a few seconds each, and whip around the parent funnel. Individual subvortices can locally enhance the parent tornado’s wind field, leading to narrow swaths of extreme destruction. That’s why one home might be obliterated while a neighboring structure escapes unscathed
