A rare Chris Simms W: He loves the 49ers draft: “I thought the 49ers absolutely crushed the draft. They got back to their roots. This is what they were. This is what Shanahan and Lynch took over. This is how the team was formed. A bunch of bad asses on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s accumulate that, let’s kick the crap out of everybody else. They’ll get over to the offensive side of the ball in a year. But Shanahan’s awesome, he can cover some holes over there with how he coaches… Mykel Williams, big bad ass MOFO off the edge from Georgia to start. Alfred Collins, big bad ass MOFO from Texas in the middle of the defense. Nick Martin, our kind of guy that we talk about with the 49ers. A little smaller, kamikaze, throws his body around everywhere. CJ West, a great D tackle from Indiana, who’s really good, undersized disrupt the play kind of guy.”

Elon Musk explains why Terafab must be built and gives an update on the Tesla and SpaceX R&D chip fab in Austin: “For some reason, at some point, chips may not continue coming here from Taiwan. That would really make things difficult if we didn’t have any chips. That’s an important reason to have Terafab. There needs to be certainty of future supply of chips, even if things become challenging geopolitically.” “Long term, there’s a scaling challenge. If you want to really scale AI, both at the servers and for edge compute, humanoid robotics and cars, you kind of run out of capacity with the existing fabs. All the fabs are running at max capacity. It’s either build Terafab or fail to scale. Those are the two options.” “There’s an R&D fab that we’re building in Austin. That’s a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX. We have all the equipment on order. I think we’ll probably be able to make something useful by the end of next year. It really is crawl, walk, run. The first step is, can we make anything? Then make useful chips at scale. And then run would be, now let’s make them at massive scale.”

The hardest problems in AI aren't research problems anymore. They're deployment problems. It’s how we actually deliver real value, today, to build the future people want. That’s why, after 20 years in AI, my next step was inevitable: make robots do useful work for and alongside people, right now. Today, I am delighted to announce the launch of Walden Robotics to tackle just that. We started this year and are coming out of stealth today with a $300M seed round backed by some of the most serious companies and investors in the world. They have seen firsthand our general-purpose robots being useful in production on day one, and getting better every day after. You can see a glimpse of what we've been building in the video below. Physical AI has gone through a rapid phase transition, in part thanks to pioneering research from my friends and co-founders Russ Tedrake , Ben Burchfiel , Siyuan Feng, Rareș Ambruș , and many others at Walden. But from our long experience working together with co-founders Kerri Fetzer-Borelli and Dave Johnson, we learned how hard it is to deploy cutting-edge AI in a real, live, incredibly sophisticated production environment with an intricate ballet of automation and human ingenuity. That’s why we deliberately created Walden Robotics as a full-stack, human-centric, customer-focused robotics company from the start: we seeded the company with a world-class team across hardware, software, AI, deployment, operations, product, and business talent, so we could continuously optimize our whole system end-to-end, deeply and purposefully, from real-world experience with real customers. The efficacy of this strategy speaks for itself: since February, our general-purpose robots have been doing useful work in production at a Toyota plant in North America, moving from first pilot to real work in under two months. Not a lab. Not a demo. Not a future promise. Real work on a real line, today, at one of the best large-scale manufacturers in the world, with general-purpose robots that get better every day. And this is just the beginning. Two ways to find us: If you run a manufacturing or logistics business and want robots that are widely useful now, not someday, let's talk. We own “ for a reason! And if you want to build them: we're hiring across the company, from software, to hardware, AI, ops, product, business, and more. In particular, as the Chief Strategy Officer at Walden, I am recruiting for three incredibly impactful founding roles to fuel our agent-native go-to-market engine. Check out Let’s build together!

This is going to be one of those long Elizabeth Lane posts and you absolutely need to watch the video below. Read the text first, then watch the video, it will make more sense. First, let me start by saying I love this girl! This was by far my favorite episode of Candace Owens show. Some might wonder why I’d choose this one when there have been bigger bombshells in other episodes about the case, but for me, this one really stood out for several reasons. First, this is where Candace clearly summarized the connections involving the military and the CIA which I think is the right direction on this case. Most importantly, she brought up President Kennedy’s assassination, which resonated with me because I’ve long believed that the same institutions responsible for Kennedy’s death were also behind Charlie’s. She also reminded me of Mitt Romney, which had completely slipped my mind, so thank you for that Candace. I think you’re right to revisit the Romneys and I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed these connections before. Candace is right about Texas! Not just Texas, but let's start with that. Texas was always very important for the CIA for multiple reason. Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth were known to have ties to the CIA for funding and logistical support in overseas operations. Their role was usually financial, logistical, or as intermediaries. For example even back during Kennedy times, certain oil and international trade magnates were informants or facilitators for CIA operations in Latin America and Europe. Texas had a strong military-industrial presence, including aviation, defense manufacturing and private security firms. Contractors sometimes worked on CIA technology or paramilitary support. These firms provided training facilities, flight and transport logistics, and equipment procurement. Individual agents or retired military personnel in Texas sometimes acted as liaisons, recruiters or covert operatives. None of this is speculation, it is all documented history. When I did investigation into Kennedy Assassination I used to call Texas the “CIA’s jackals capital.” (I highly advise reading David Talbot’s work). I thought it would be imported to show you a good example how the CIA and military work together when they need to kill people on the US soil and get away with it. Video below is a great example this is from an old series on Kennedy assassination. This is a very old film, such a great work done by investigative journalist. Let’s start with the fact that the CIA should not operate domestically but they always find smartass ways to still do it and get away with it. The CIA is also very highly compartmentalized organization, most people in the analysis section of the CIA are actually nice smart people, but the operations - now these people are psychopathic maniacs. The operations section of the CIA is even more highly compartmentalized. In other words, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing, which makes it easier to carry out actions without the rest of the agency knowing about it. This is what happened during Kennedy’s assassination. People often forget that the man who led the CIA at the time was actually Kennedy’s own appointee John McCone. MacCone was Kennedy's man. He had no idea what was happening right in front of him. This is partly made possible by the very convenient relationship the CIA has with the military. So yes Candace is right on CIA - Military connections. When you watch this video, you will see how these typical operations went down back in the day. Today, it’s even more sophisticated. Long story short, a man named Bruce Pitzer from the Navy altered Kennedy’s autopsy photos. This is just one source discussing it, today we have multiple sources claiming the photos were altered, including the doctors who operated on the president (you can find this in my documentary as well). In this video, you will see a clear example of how the CIA and military carry out assassinations on US soil. You will also hear that the man who altered the pictures was taken out by another military officer called David Vanek, who was later removed from the military database altogether as if he never existed, but thank god some people saved some copies and receipts. I’ve always thought these testimonies from the military men back then were so underrated and deserved more attention. But hey, who would have given them attention, President George H. W. Bush, the CIA man himself? Or his son? Or Pedo Bill? Lol. Of course not. The point is, they typically go mafia style when they want to make sure there are no loose ends. Someone does a job, and you eliminate that person if they represent a threat. Well, when you kill the President of the United States, many people would not be able to stay quiet, so they had to go mafia style in the case of Kennedy. I don’t think they needed that with Charlie. People, especially psychopaths in special Ops, would be more willing to stay quiet. But the point is, this was very much happening back then and it is happening today. The military CIA partnership in domestic assassinations goes back to the Kennedy era and Texas always played a significant role in all of that. With Kennedy, they began eliminating anyone who was a minor or mid-level figure involved in the assassination plot. After Kennedy’s assassination, over 100 people died under mysterious circumstances. 100 + people! :) So when some people say, ‘Oh Candace names so many people involved in this case, it’s impossible for that many people to be involved.’ That’s simply not true. It is very possible, and it has been done many times, not just with Kennedy. What’s also important to mention, and why I specifically chose this clip out of many examples is that sometimes people are doing a job without really knowing who or what they’re working for. Dan Marvin, for example. All Lieutenant Colonel Marvin was told was to kill someone on U.S. soil. He had no idea that this person was connected to covering up Kennedy’s assassination. I'm guessing they told the same thing to David Vanek,He simply carried out a hit without knowing the bigger picture. This is often how the CIA operates. It’s not always a kill, sometimes it’s something as simple as moving a vehicle from one place to another, without knowing what case it’s connected to or why they are doing it. So while many players are covering up for the operation, they often have no idea what they are actually covering up. Now a little bit about Romney from someone who lives in Utah believe me when I tell you the Romneys were like gods in Utah for the longest time. They still have huge influence, Mormons loved them, and even non-Mormon republicans supported them, some still do. But after Romney was caught in multiple lies, some of that support faded. They are extremely corrupt and I believe they should be looked at.

Top stars in the entertainment industry change every year. So why has Xiao Zhan stayed firmly at the top for seven years? Today we won’t talk about data, and we won’t dig into gossip. Let’s just talk about those small things that people in the industry and audiences have repeatedly seen and confirmed. By the end, you’ll realize his long-lasting popularity is only natural. If his works and stage performances are Xiao Zhan’s public image, then how he conducts himself in private and his professional ethics are his deeply rooted inner foundation. Many people wonder where his huge popularity really comes from. The answer lies in the small details remembered by countless collaborators, people around him, and even even strangers. First, let’s look at how firm he can be. A magazine he shot before he became hugely popular was later sold at double the price after he became popular again. When Xiao Zhan found out, he pushed back directly and asked the magazine to refund fans. He even said he could pay for it himself. Last year, a blogger spread a rumor that he would attend a New Year’s gala. Some fans believed it and bought tickets and booked hotels. Even though he never officially announced it, he still quietly reimbursed those fans for their flights and hotels. He never takes advantage of other people’s sincerity, even when it isn’t his responsibility. Now let’s look at how much care he puts into his work. He’s about as hardworking as it gets. The album was prepared over three years. Between tight filming schedules, he squeezed in time to polish every song. The physical album was priced at 279 yuan. It weighed 3.5 kg and was clearly made with a lot of care. He didn’t use K-pop-style random photo card gimmicks. He said it was a gift for the fans. Before the physical release, the songs were free to listen to on all platforms, leaving the choice entirely to the audience. When it comes to collaborations, from directors and screenwriters to regular staff, almost everyone who has worked with him can recall a few small things about him. Huang Jue: Basically, I think every staff member and every actor who has worked with him ends up having a very genuine fondness for him. Angela Chang: I’ll just say you’re very accommodating toward me. You’re really a gentleman. This time working together, including a duet with Xiao Zhan, I just felt he’s a very polite kid. Tony Leung Ka-fai: Honestly, the more you interact with him, the more you like him. He’s just that kind of young man. This kind of respect, this kind of kindness, isn’t a public image, it’s a habit. Now let’s look at how clean his record is. In 2020, when that storm swept across the entire internet, people dug into his past, yet they still couldn’t find a single real stain on his record. None of his former schoolmates or friends spoke against him. Instead, they voluntarily protected his privacy from before he was famous. In the entertainment industry, this kind of silent, collective protection is more powerful than any statement. His self-discipline is on another level. During brand livestreams, as long as he’s on camera, he never allows product links to be posted. He openly refuses fan-funded voting campaigns, keeping control over his work firmly in his own hands, and not allowing love to become a burden. Looks can fade and popularity can scatter, but a person’s character, resilience, sincerity, and respect for their profession only become clearer with time. Xiao Zhan’s seven years at the top are like a long open beta test, testing the limits of an ordinary person’s character, and testing the ultimate worth of talent and character in the entertainment industry. He’s proven one thing: a real long-term approach isn’t a carefully planned path, but a road that forms naturally through every choice and every act of responsibility. In an era obsessed with quick success and quick forgetting, he offers a rare sense of certainty: hard work will be seen, and sincerity can overcome many difficulties. Youtube: #XiaoZhan #肖战

The North Wales Mega-Hoard: 15,000 Roman Coins and One Very Paranoid Detectorist. The Day David Moss Broke Wales – Summer 2025 David Moss, 36-year-old lad from Cheshire who clearly sold his soul to the detecting gods at some point, is quietly swinging his coil over a perfectly ordinary field in north Wales. Normal day: a couple of Georgian coppers, a button that might be Roman if you squint, and the usual chorus of “why am I doing this again?” Then… BEEEEEEEEEEEEP. He digs down a bit and hits pottery. Another bit. More pottery. Then coins start pouring out like he’s accidentally opened a Roman vending machine. Two large clay pots, absolutely rammed with Roman silver denarii – somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 of the little blighters, depending on whose calculator you trust. That’s not a hoard, that’s a bloody imperial payroll. Early estimates put the face value in Roman times at roughly 40–50 years’ wages for a legionary. In modern money? Still waiting on the official valuation, but let’s just say David’s local curry house is about to get some very generous tips. The coins span the second and early third centuries AD, from emperors like Vespasian and Hadrian right through to Septimius Severus and his missus Julia Domna. Mint condition on a lot of them too – some still have that fresh-from-Rome glow. The pots themselves are coarse-ware storage jars, typical of the period, buried about 40 cm down and miraculously missed by centuries of ploughing. The Three Nights of the Living Paranoid. David digs them up, realises he’s holding the biggest Roman coin hoard ever recorded in Wales (and probably one of the top five in the entire UK), and immediately enters what we in the trade call “full meltdown mode”. He’s convinced every twat within a 200-mile radius has suddenly developed X-ray vision and a burning desire for second-century silver. So what does he do? Loads both pots into his motor, drives home, and spends the next three nights sleeping in the driver’s seat with 15,000 irate Romans in the footwell. Apparently he only left the car to wee and to ring his mate going “Mate, I’ve done it, but I’m going to get murdered in my sleep.” Mate’s response, allegedly: “Stop ringing me at 3 a.m. you absolute lunatic.” On day four, still un-murdered but slightly smelly, he delivers the hoard in person to the Portable Antiquities Scheme finds liaison officer for Wales. FLO takes one look, goes white, and immediately rings every archaeologist in a 100-mile radius. The British Museum and Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales are now jointly salivating over it. Current Status – As of December 2025 The hoard has been officially declared Treasure (no surprise there – you’d need a forklift to carry that lot). Full cleaning and recording is underway at the British Museum and National Museum Wales.

The North Wales Mega-Hoard: 15,000 Roman Coins and One Very Paranoid Detectorist. The Day David Moss Broke Wales – Summer 2025 David Moss, 36-year-old lad from Cheshire who clearly sold his soul to the detecting gods at some point, is quietly swinging his coil over a perfectly ordinary field in north Wales. Normal day: a couple of Georgian coppers, a button that might be Roman if you squint, and the usual chorus of “why am I doing this again?” Then… BEEEEEEEEEEEEP. He digs down a bit and hits pottery. Another bit. More pottery. Then coins start pouring out like he’s accidentally opened a Roman vending machine. Two large clay pots, absolutely rammed with Roman silver denarii – somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 of the little blighters, depending on whose calculator you trust. That’s not a hoard, that’s a bloody imperial payroll. Early estimates put the face value in Roman times at roughly 40–50 years’ wages for a legionary. In modern money? Still waiting on the official valuation, but let’s just say David’s local curry house is about to get some very generous tips. The coins span the second and early third centuries AD, from emperors like Vespasian and Hadrian right through to Septimius Severus and his missus Julia Domna. Mint condition on a lot of them too – some still have that fresh-from-Rome glow. The pots themselves are coarse-ware storage jars, typical of the period, buried about 40 cm down and miraculously missed by centuries of ploughing. The Three Nights of the Living Paranoid. David digs them up, realises he’s holding the biggest Roman coin hoard ever recorded in Wales (and probably one of the top five in the entire UK), and immediately enters what we in the trade call “full meltdown mode”. He’s convinced every twat within a 200-mile radius has suddenly developed X-ray vision and a burning desire for second-century silver. So what does he do? Loads both pots into his motor, drives home, and spends the next three nights sleeping in the driver’s seat with 15,000 irate Romans in the footwell. Apparently he only left the car to wee and to ring his mate going “Mate, I’ve done it, but I’m going to get murdered in my sleep.” Mate’s response, allegedly: “Stop ringing me at 3 a.m. you absolute lunatic.” On day four, still un-murdered but slightly smelly, he delivers the hoard in person to the Portable Antiquities Scheme finds liaison officer for Wales. FLO takes one look, goes white, and immediately rings every archaeologist in a 100-mile radius. The British Museum and Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales are now jointly salivating over it. Current Status – As of December 2025 The hoard has been officially declared Treasure (no surprise there – you’d need a forklift to carry that lot). Full cleaning and recording is underway at the British Museum and National Museum Wales. Early counts are hovering around the 14,000–15,000 mark, which comfortably smashes the previous Welsh record from 1980s Powys area with a measly 3,300 coins – sorry Powys. Reward?

MSNBC contributor tries to corner Byron Donalds on measles and demands to know if he vaxxes his kids. His answer left her looking stupid. And Bill Maher even piled on at the end. MOLLY JONG-FAST: “You’ve had to say some stuff. Like last week on Margaret Brennan’s show, you said rampant illegal immigration was the cause for this measles outbreak and not not being vaccinated. I’m curious. Like, I have three kids. You have three kids. Do you not vaccinate your kids?” BYRON DONALDS: “My oldest son is 23 years old. The vaccination schedule for him was less intense than the vaccination schedule for my 15-year-old son. And if you have talked to my mom, the vaccination schedule for me, being 47 years old, was not nearly as intense as it is for newborns today. “So I think there are parents, there are mothers who have real concerns about the frequency of vaccines for young infants into just being a toddler. And so I think the order that came out the other day from the White House was, well, let’s just spread the vaccination schedule back out. Let parents have an ability to make those decisions for their children with informed consent. And then the last piece is, let’s also make sure that the human body in its infancy can actually manage the amount of vaccines that are being put into their child. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.” BILL MAHER: “I don’t either.” JONG-FAST: “We have people dying of measles. We had two people in Ohio die of measles. We were almost eradicated from measles and now we have measles again, and there’s a reason for that. And the idea that you said illegal immigration causes—” DONALDS: “Under the previous administration, more than 10 million people came into the country illegally, and I know for a fact, just like everybody else — you can read your notes too — they weren’t checking their vaccination schedules coming into the United States. That’s a fact. That’s number one. “Number two, there was a measles outbreak in a couple of the detention facilities on the southern border. There was a measles outbreak in El Paso, Texas. There was also one in Chicago at another illegal immigration facility. Those are the facts. “So when you let that many people come into your country, when we already know in other countries they don’t have the vaccination schedule that we have, and then when the Department of Health and Human Services is talking about American children, now you’re finding fault with vaccination schedules for American children? I don’t think that’s an accurate way to look at it.” MAHER: “I had measles as a kid. I loved it. I was home for two weeks. I ate ice cream every day.” CDC schedule, 1983: 11 vaccine doses. CDC schedule, 2024: 70+ vaccine doses.

🚨🚨🚨 The Chinese military has simulated battles near Mexico and Cuba during a wargaming exercise — revealed toward the end of a report aired on state television CCTV on Dec 19 (lower right video; CCTV seems to have taken down the original video from its website but I’ve managed to stitch together one that’s practically the same except some on-screen captions.) Cuba, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, along with the Sea of Okhotsk and Taiwan, were among the locations of conflict scenarios visible on screens in the report showing PLA wargaming exercises. Despite closer economic ties with countries in the region, China has a minimal military presence in Latin America. But the fact that the PLA is modelling potential conflicts there suggests a shift in the Chinese military’s global ambitions. One screen in the report showed red and blue opposing unit “indicators” — represented by aircraft and ships — manoeuvring near the coasts of Cuba and Mexico. Some of the blue side congregated near Houston, Texas, and headed southeast into the Gulf of Mexico, while the red side was seen in the Caribbean Sea. In a typical PLA drill, the red side usually represents the Chinese military while the blue side is the enemy. During the CCTV report, a close-up focused on Cuba showed the lines of trajectory of aircraft and ships in the region in what was likely a simulation of a tactical operation. Chinese researchers were seen pointing to the screen and discussing the situation. The footage was recorded at a PLA wargaming event held in Xuchang, Henan province, which was attended by 20 units from across the military and its academies. Dozens of simulation systems were demonstrated — all of them developed in China. The report did not provide further information about any of the conflict scenarios. In another map seen in the report, the red side was shown clustered near Russia’s far eastern coast while blue indicators were positioned over Hokkaido in Japan and the disputed Kuril Islands. Taiwan also featured at the center of a map in one of the wargaming systems shown in the report. Beijing sees the self-governed island as part of China, to be reunited by force if necessary. Most countries, including the United States, do not see Taiwan as an independent state, but many oppose any forcible change to the status quo. Washington is also committed to supplying Taiwan with weapons for its defense. With tensions rising in the region in recent years, the PLA has held frequent exercises around Taiwan and also conducted joint training with Russia in the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan. The Chinese and Russian air forces held a joint patrol earlier this month, with two Russian Tu-95 bombers flying across the Sea of Japan to join two Chinese H-6 bombers over the East China Sea. That came after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi enraged Beijing by suggesting last month that Japan could intervene militarily in the event of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait. The CCTV report also showed the PLA simulating an air battle between Chinese J-16 fighters and French-made Rafale fighter jets. Details of PLA war games are rarely revealed – they are usually highly classified. According to the CCTV report, the wargaming event aimed to “help commanders learn how to fight without engaging in actual combat by creating a low-cost, immersive and repeatable adversarial environment”. It said the PLA’s wargaming systems covered land, sea, air, space and electromagnetic domains, with integrated cutting-edge technologies such as AI-powered models, big data analytics and real-time simulation engines.

Guy could you please help me make this post FLY by sharing it 🙏 This was Yesterday on talkSPORT with the legend Neil Ruddock — had to drag him along cos I know NOTHING about football! 😂 This is all for something very real — the Men And Their Emotions (MATE) charity celebrity football match at Swindon Town’s County Ground on Sunday 3rd May 2026. We’re raising funds for men’s mental health in honour of local lad Steven Bailey, who tragically took his own life earlier last year. Proceeds going straight to our M.A.T.E charity — that massive online Facebook community of around 64,000 blokes where lads can talk anonymously, share what they’re going through, and get proper support and counselling. No judgement, just real help when you need it most. This means the world to me, we’ve lost too many good lads that were just lost, if we can get more talking and supporting each other, doing counciling it’s worth every kick of the ball. It’s gonna be a cracking family fun day out — celebs vs ex-pros, loads of laughs, and hopefully some decent footy (from the pros lol) This is who we’ve more or less confirmed already (still a few spots left, so if you’ve got ideas for people, tag ’em below and if anyone can help support the event, hit us up!): Celebs Danny Dyer, Olly Murs (just watching) , Cole Anderson, Mashtag, Tom Zanetti, Matt Lapinskas, Harrison Elliott, Joe Cordina, Ryan Garner, Gaz Beadle, Daryl Robinson, Sonny Green, MC Harvey… Ex-pros/Legends: Danny Simpson, Leroy Lita, Leon Britton, Derek Asamoah, Chris Dickson, Jamie O’Hara, Razor Ruddock, Martin Offiah, Courtney Massey, Kevin Betsy, Dean Morgan… And more to be announced soon! If you fancy watching me huff and puff trying to keep up with Danny Dyer and the rest of these boys while Razor probably just stands there laughing his head off, come down — tickets in my bio/link below. It’s gonna be epic, emotional, and a proper laugh. Get involved, support the cause, and let’s look out for each other. ❤️ Search: mate charity football match See you there 💚💪⚽ #MATECharity #MensMentalHealth #CelebrityFooty

Jordan Peterson is visiting the Baltics this week to lecture local audiences. Let’s recap some of his genius. After first presenting himself as a self-help guru, Peterson spent time in russia and Serbia dealing with his addiction issues before returning to the West as an expert on international politics …with consistently Kremlin-aligned talking points. Peterson repeatedly talks about Ukraine as russia’s “buffer”, “historical sphere”, “historical territory”, and the “key to russian identity and security”, while excusing russia for its imperial genocide because it was supposedly threatened by “careless and provocative Western expansionism into a country we really don’t care about.” These lines, by the way, are also used by Kremlin propagandists against the nations he’s touring here this week. Peterson now supports John Mearsheimer’s admiration for great power politics - although with his own added culture war twist. In an hour long video he posted over a year ago titled ‘Russia Vs Ukraine or civil war in the West’, Peterson spent most of the video rambling about race and gender issues in North America - and arguing this is the reason russia invaded Ukraine. He even mentions Estonians among other nations who, he says, agrees with him that Western “degeneracy” is equivalent to soviet tyranny. 🤷‍♂️ Now that Peterson is a “russia expert”, he’s now - of course - consistently wrong about russia. This clip here, for example, shows him a year ago joining in with the Kremlin’s then favourite talking point that winter is coming - and winter is on russia’s side. It was supposed to force Ukraine to surrender while Europeans cowered in the cold. Peterson’s predictions about russia’s war have not aged well. He has repeatedly overemphasised russian competence while underestimating Eastern European agency. But - to be fair - this has never disqualified anyone from posing as a “russia expert”. Note his other point in this clip is that russia could nuke Ukraine …but that shouldn’t be considered an escalation by the rest of the world. He then quickly switches to arguing it’s actually the rest of the world that is escalating against russia “on every front we could possibly imagine”. Peterson has consistently repeated key Kremlin narratives about russia’s supposed red lines - ignoring each time it has proven wrong. It’s worth reminding that Peterson became famous while arguing people shouldn’t “exceed their domain of competence” and should tidy their room before trying to understand and change the world. The reality is that Peterson never had his life together, although he at least managed to semi-plausibly pose as a life expert before it so publicly fell apart. His russia expertise is less convincing, although fairly standard by the industry norm. But, in addition to lecturing, hopefully Peterson will spend some time listening while he’s here to people who actually consistently predict russia right and understand the importance of international law. Most people here support Ukraine, obviously don’t tolerate russia’s excuses for invading neighbours, and don’t give a shit about the culture wars of other nations. Here’s the reality, Dr Jordan B Peterson. Russia is not at war as a reaction to the culture wars in the West that make you so angry. Russia is supporting the culture wars to make you angry. It wants to polarise democratic societies in order to wage more imperial war. Some of the commentators and many of the social media accounts that trigger your rage are backed by the same people pretending to support you. We can’t simply stop russia’s genocidal war of imperialism by telling others not to resist. But so much of the culture war is just bullshit designed only to enrage us. That’s something we simply can end.

If this hits you in the chest, it’s because it’s universal. 🏔️💔 Don’t wait until you’re standing on your own cliff. The decisions you make at 18, 22, or 25 don’t just affect you. They can ripple for decades — into your 30s, 40s, and onto the people who love you. One bad chapter can become a ten-year bill you’re still paying. The numbers don’t lie. 📊 According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, of people released from state prisons, 62% were rearrested within three years and 71% within five years.

Namjoon about FYA💜 🐨: And about ‘FYA.’ 🐨: As I mentioned earlier, ‘FYA’ was one of the songs we worked on while trying to create something that could surpass ‘Hooligan’; something harder, more intense, and even better than ‘Hooligan.’ 🐨: You know Flume, right? Back in the day he was behind that whole future bass boom. I suddenly can’t remember the song name, but he was one of the pioneers of that dubstep/future bass wave. And then there’s JPEGMAFIA — he’s basically one of the leaders of experimental alternative hip-hop right now. His tracks are incredible, and his ideas are so unique that we used him as a major reference point this time around. So those two actually released an album together recently, maybe it was the year before last. Anyway, Diplo has a really wide network, right? He was kind of our American head contact. And I told the company that I absolutely wanted to work with JPEGMAFIA no matter what. So he came, and during that process we listened to a bunch of Flume beats. Seriously, Flume must have thousands of beats. We couldn’t possibly listen to all of them, so we went through maybe around 200. 🐨: Then we found this beat that started with motorcycle sounds — dududududu — and it was just so good. Then there was that “tuk tuk tuk” part, and when the Jersey beat comes in, we started going: “It’s fire…” 🐨: Because honestly, the phrase we used the most during camp was probably: “That’s fire.” People just kept saying it constantly, even casually. When you spend all day in sessions like that, everyone gets exhausted. Someone would say, “That melody sounds like another song,” or someone would randomly hum something weird, and somebody else would just go: “Bro, that’s fire!” It almost became like a habit, kind of like how Koreans casually say “Have you eaten?” or “Let’s grab a meal sometime.” It became that kind of automatic phrase. 🐨: So we thought: “What if we actually made a song around ‘That’s fire’?” We started messing around with: “That’s fire… that’s fire…” and everyone thought it sounded kind of fun. 🐨: So I asked JPEGMAFIA: “Hyung, could you maybe just do something like ‘It’s fire’ over this?” And then he suddenly went: “It’s FYA!” And we were like: “Oh, that’s it. That’s it.” 🐨: Then later we added melodies on top of it, and that’s basically how the song came together. Personally, I just wanted to make one completely insane song. Because songs like “Aliens,” “Hooligan,” and “Body to Body” all had meanings and themes, I wanted at least one track where people could just completely let loose almost like brainrot music. 🐨: I imagined a concert moment where everyone’s just jumping together in a giant mosh pit. Just screaming nonsense like: “Everything that’s fire!” Even though it doesn’t really mean anything, just running around, jumping, and having fun together. 🐨: And honestly, I think that vision kind of came true in the end. Actually, I think some members at first were like: “I don’t really know about this song…” But after performing it live, everyone accepted it and felt: “Yeah… this song really was necessary.” 🐨: So in the end, all the songs that deserved to be there found their place on the album.

Namjoon about FYA💜 🐨: And about ‘FYA.’ 🐨: As I mentioned earlier, ‘FYA’ was one of the songs we worked on while trying to create something that could surpass ‘Hooligan’; something harder, more intense, and even better than ‘Hooligan.’ 🐨: You know Flume, right? Back in the day he was behind that whole future bass boom. I suddenly can’t remember the song name, but he was one of the pioneers of that dubstep/future bass wave.

In a newly released technical update, SpaceX's leadership team, which includes communications manager Dan Huot, Director of Satellite Engineering Ian Dahl, and CEO Elon Musk, detailed a highly ambitious infrastructure roadmap to design, manufacture, and operate specialized artificial intelligence computing satellites at scale. Positioned as a major strategic pillar to dramatically elevate civilizational energy and processing capacity on the Kardashev scale, this strategy moves past traditional communications architectures into massive orbital server arrays. Here is the complete breakdown of the core technologies and timelines driving this space-based intelligence revolution: 🛰️ AI1 satellite power and compute capacity Ian Dahl and Elon Musk introduced the baseline performance targets for the first-generation AI1 satellite, explaining how its custom hardware is engineered to operate like an orbital data center server rack. Ian Dahl noted that their direct operational experience with xAI guided them to target a 150-kilowatt peak power capacity. To manage active machine learning workloads continuously, Elon Musk explained that the satellite is optimized to maintain a sustained average compute power envelope of 120 kilowatts, which directly mirrors the real-world performance of a terrestrial NVIDIA server rack. The official presentation slides outline several key operational metrics for this payload configuration: ⚡ The custom architecture delivers a 150 kW peak compute payload. 🔋 The system maintains a 120 kW sustained average compute payload under active workloads. ⚖️ The hardware achieves a highly optimized power-to-weight density of 70 kW per ton. 🔄 The layout features a completely interchangeable compute provider design. "We thought that the right place to start is around the 150 kilowatt peak power level. But as we look at the workloads with our experience with xAI, we see that we can support about 120 kilowatts of average compute. The 150 kilowatt peak power level roughly matches what, say, an NVIDIA GV300 rack would do. A more reasonable operating envelope would be around 120 kilowatts average power, but it can peak up to 150. So it is basically thinking about it as a rack of compute in space." --- 📐 AI1 satellite dimensions and thermal efficiency specs Elon Musk detailed the physical layout of the AI1 satellite, highlighting the massive dimensions required to accommodate its immense power and cooling hardware. He shared specific design criteria, explaining that the engineering relies on a custom 150 kW solar array paired with a high-capacity deployable liquid radiator thermal management system. The technical specifications of this vehicle layout include: 📏 The structural frame features a massive 70-meter wingspan. ↕️ The vehicle spans a total deployed height of 20 meters. ☀️ The onboard solar array delivers an efficiency of 250 W/m² using technology manufactured in Bastrop, Texas. 🌡️ The thermal system utilizes a 110 m² deployable liquid radiator to cleanly dump waste heat. 🔄 The cooling architecture incorporates redundant pumping loops for mission safety. 🛡️ The exterior contains integrated micrometeoroid shielding to protect the fluid lines. 🧭 The double-sided radiators achieve a dissipation rate of 1400 watts per square meter while remaining oriented knife-edge to the sun. "The assumptions here are 250 watts per square meter for the solar array and about 1400 watts per square meter for the radiators. The radiators are double-sided, radiating on both sides, and they're oriented knife-edge to the sun. They have about a 70-meter wingspan, so these are fairly large." --- 🧩 Simplified design architecture built on Starlink V3 tech Elon Musk explained that despite the satellite's imposing size, its internal architecture is fundamentally much simpler than a standard Starlink satellite. Because it lacks heavy phased array and parabolic communications antennas, the entire vehicle layout is completely streamlined around a few essential structural modules: 🎛️ The hardware framework is arranged around a centralized compute module. ☀️ Large deployable solar arrays extend outward to capture orbital energy. 🌡️ A deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system controls active operational temperatures. 🔄 The engineering team heavily leverages the component evolution and manufacturing experience gained from developing the Starlink V3 vehicle platform. "The AI satellite is actually much simpler than a Starlink satellite. A Starlink satellite has gigantic phased array antennas, parabolic antennas, and a lot of laser links, making it much more complicated. An AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. A lot of this is technology we've already made for the Starlink V3 satellites." --- 🔌 Interchangeable compute reference designs and high connectivity Elon Musk outlined a modular hardware approach for the satellite's payload, allowing it to house a variety of industry-standard processing units depending on client requirements. This interchangeable compute rack is supported by a high-bandwidth connectivity loop that links separate orbital units together or transmits data directly back to Earth. The core network parameters include: 🧠 Reference designs are fully established to seamlessly accommodate NVIDIA Reuben chips. 💾 The system architecture is built to support alternative setups using NVIDIA GB300 chips. 💻 Custom hardware layouts are explicitly designed to integrate Google TPUs. 🌐 The onboard communications setup delivers roughly 1 terabit of laser link connectivity. ⏱️ The network closes the communication loop directly with the main Starlink constellation at an ultra-low latency of only 3 milliseconds. "Our current reference design is for NVIDIA Reuben chips, or it could be either GB300 or Reuben chips. We'll also have a reference design for TPUs. Essentially, you can put up any existing chips into orbit. There would also be probably something on the order of a terabit of laser link connectivity from the satellite. Then you can connect these racks of compute to each other by the laser links or directly to the Starlink constellations. Light travels 300 kilometers per millisecond, so that's about three milliseconds away." --- 🏭 The "gigasat" AI satellite and solar production hub in Bastrop, Texas Dan Huot highlighted that the primary production hub for this entire hardware ecosystem is anchored at their sprawling complex in Bastrop, Texas, officially designated as the Gigasat factory. Elon Musk verified that construction is already actively underway on the solar manufacturing facility to feed the project's supply line, with plans moving forward to construct the adjacent AI satellite assembly lines. The physical footprint and timeline of this manufacturing hub are defined by the following benchmarks: 🗺️ The company has over 1,000 acres of land currently owned or under contract for the site. 🏢 The manufacturing complex boasts a massive structural building potential exceeding 11 million square feet. ⚙️ The facility will vertically integrate production to manufacture solar ingots, wafers, solar cells, and completed AI satellites. 📅 Both the solar and AI satellite production lines are targeted to be operational at a viable volume by the end of next year. "We're going to be building a lot of satellites and we're going to be building them here in Bastrop. We already have the solar manufacturing facility under construction, and then we will be building out the AI sat production building soon. We expect to have the AI sat production, the solar production, and all of that operating at some reasonable volume by the end of next year." --- 🏢 The 100-million-square-foot "terafab" chip factory Elon Musk revealed a massive, long-term scaling strategy to build an immense chip manufacturing facility dubbed the "terafab" to completely bypass global semiconductor volume constraints. This manufacturing infrastructure is designed to transition the company into next-generation industrial scaling by producing highly specialized computing components at an unprecedented volume. The scale of this infrastructure project is defined by several extraordinary engineering and production benchmarks: 🏭 The colossal factory is projected to span approximately 100 million square feet, making it ten times larger than the current Tesla Gigafactory Texas. ⚡ The facility is structurally engineered to achieve a massive manufacturing output of 1 terawatt per year once fully operational. 📦 This unprecedented physical footprint provides the capacity required to manufacture 1 billion full-reticle equivalent chips annually. 🔌 Each individual chip manufactured by the facility is designed to run at a power capacity of 1 kilowatt. 🇺🇸 The total scaled output of the facility represents an energy footprint that is exactly double the current annual electricity consumption of the entire United States. "In order to get to the next order of magnitude, you need a gigantic chip factory. To give you a sense of scale here, we expect that the terafab is going to be around 100 million square feet, which is 10 times the size of the Tesla Gigafactory Texas. From a logic die standpoint, that's like having a billion chips per year with a kilowatt per reticle, scaling to a terawatt per year. That is twice the current electricity consumption of the United States." --- 📶 Next-generation high-volume Starlink terminals Dan Huot and Elon Musk introduced their next-generation Starlink user terminals, which have been redesigned specifically to achieve massive manufacturing throughput. Elon Musk pointed out that these newer models will be produced in vastly higher volumes than current hardware designs to fulfill their long-term global deployment targets: 📈 The upgraded user hardware is manufactured at a much higher volume capacity than existing units. 🌍 The company's ultimate target is to successfully deploy a few hundred million of these next-generation terminals worldwide. "In fact, these are the new Starlink terminals, which we made in much higher volume than the current terminals. Ultimately, we think there's probably going to be a few hundred million Starlink terminals out there." --- 📈 Aspirational timeline for orbital AI compute scaling Elon Musk laid out an ambitious, multi-year execution timeline detailing how the company plans to progressively scale space-based processing power. The roadmap targets an initial run-rate by the end of next year and sets an aggressive pace to increase total operational capacity sequentially through a structured, multi-phase timeline: 1️⃣ The initial target aims to hit an annualized run-rate of 1 gigawatt of space AI compute by the end of next year. 2️⃣ The capacity scales to an annualized rate of 10 gigawatts within the next two and a half years. 3️⃣ The operational envelope expands to reach 100 gigawatts in three and a half years. 4️⃣ The long-term deployment plan scales directly to a full terawatt capacity per year using the output of the terafab. "The goal is to get to roughly an annualized rate of a gigawatt per year by the end of next year in terms of space AI compute. Then aspirationally, we want to scale that by an order of magnitude per year. In two and a half years, hitting an annualized rate of 10 gigawatts a year in space, and in three and a half years, maybe a hundred gigawatts, going beyond that with the terafab to scale to a terawatt per year." --- 🌕 Ultimate scaling via lunar production and mass drivers Elon Musk explained that scaling three orders of magnitude past a single terawatt forces a transition completely off-planet to avoid the logistical penalty of Earth's deep gravity well. The vision relies on establishing manufacturing infrastructure directly on the moon to leverage localized resource loops and zero-atmosphere physics: 🌙 The company plans to establish localized raw production lines on the moon to fabricate solar panels, photovoltaics, and radiators from lunar materials. ⚡ Manufacturing components locally avoids the massive fuel and mass penalties of transporting heavy structural materials from Earth. 🧲 Because the moon has no atmosphere and only one-sixth of Earth's gravity, the facility will utilize an electromagnetic mass driver to launch completed satellites. 🚀 Operating essentially as a linear electric motor rail gun, this mechanism will shoot fully assembled AI satellites straight into deep space without relying on chemical rockets. "The only way that we can really see that you can achieve that is on the moon with a mass driver, essentially where you do local production of photovoltaics, solar panels, and radiators on the moon. Because the moon has no atmosphere and only one-sixth Earth's gravity, you can accelerate the AI satellites into deep space without a rocket. You can basically shoot them into space using an electromagnetic gun, like a rail gun type—it's basically a linear electric motor."

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how cliché it is, but I seriously got chills once “Roundball Rock” started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bug—just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the “Prime” experience. God, can’t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If you’ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a “special contributor”. “Insights to Excellence” is sadly everything I thought it would be… nothing. He wasn’t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why he’s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. “To pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.” - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets weren’t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didn’t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesn’t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. What’s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, “Who’s the 5th Thunder starter?” as we wait for JDub’s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didn’t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second half… for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Cason’s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). There’s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. “Not surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.” - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup It’s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)—especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. You’d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but no… he’s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, he’s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, it’ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. There’s no lift. While we’re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum I’ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; he’s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). It’s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. He’s gonna have stretches where he’s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He can’t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didn’t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know it’s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none? Kevin Durant (23 points, 9 rebounds) made his Rockets debut, and there’re gonna be two things you take away from it. Why’d you trade for him again? He was pretty much non-existent when they needed him most down the stretch, with a 12.5 USG% in both OT’s. There shouldn’t have been a second overtime. KD was clearly seen calling for a timeout after a rebound with about a second left on the clock. The problem is, they didn’t have any–He Webber’d it. He should have been T’d up, giving the Thunder a free throw to potentially end the game. Zarba and his buddies even got together to talk it over once the buzzer sounded, but did nothing. Strange, but luckily, it didn’t end up mattering much since OKC won in the second overtime. “Kevin definitely called timeout 3 times… They just missed it.” - SGA The Thunder beat the Rockets 125-124. EIGHT) Kuminga Starts Gallagher and I both felt pretty confident (sounds so stupid saying that with Kerr) that had Mosey Moody been available for this one, he would have been named the fifth starter, but his calf’s still bothering him. Steve Kerr decided to start Jonathan Kuminga (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 33 minutes) instead, rewarding him for a strong preseason. There might be some more rewards coming because, whew, this is exactly what they’ve been wanting to see from him for the last couple of years, especially the boards. You wouldn’t know it from looking at Luka’s box score, but JK did about as well as you could defending him; he made his threes (4-6 3PT) and consistently found the open man. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that he starts again against Denver on Thursday Let the showcasing begin. “When you ask for opportunity, you must deliver. He’s been very vocal about his opportunity and he delivered.” - Draymond Green on Jonathan Kuminga “I just wanna help JK be great… We’ve been kickin' it. Hanging out. Watching film and just working on our game together. I know how great he wants to be and how great he can be.” - Jimmy Butler on mentoring Jonathan Kuminga NINE) Jimmy Being Jimmy One of the funnier moments of the night came post-game, when Jimmy Butler talked about a bet he made with Draymond Green. The wager is that he’ll have a better free-throw percentage than Steph Curry this season. Deadass, hahaha. He admitted that it’s probably a bad bet but I still love that he does this type of shit. Two years ago, he said he was playfully aiming to shoot 50.0% from three. He obviously didn’t hit that mark, but he did shoot a career-best 41.4% that season. If you’re wondering how the bet is looking to start after Game 1: Jimmy Butler: 16-16 FT (100.0%) Steph Curry: 8-8 FT (100.0%) Will keep you updated as the season goes. Jesus, 16 free throw attempts. “No chance.” - Steph Curry when asked if Jimmy Butler has any shot at winning the bet Before we’re done with GS, a shoutout to Will Richard (5 points, 14 minutes). We tease Kerr all the time about playing these randos, but this kid looks like he can actually play. TEN) All Luka and Austin The Lakers are gonna struggle hard while LeBron’s out. They just don’t have any other guys on the team that can create. Luka Doncic (43 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 34.7% USG) and Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 30.1% USG) scored or assisted on 97 of the Lakers' 109 points. So wild. Marcus Smart (9 points) was the first sub off the bench. As for DeAndre Ayton’s debut (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 turnovers), let’s just say it didn’t take long for the Lakers’ fan base to turn on him. Poor guy looked lost out there. "We just started. This is probably the second game we've played together." - Rui Hachimura on what the difference was for the Lakers "The trend I see is that we continue to be a terrible third-quarter team." - JJ Redick The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109.

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how cliché it is, but I seriously got chills once “Roundball Rock” started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bug—just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the “Prime” experience. God, can’t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If you’ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a “special contributor”. “Insights to Excellence” is sadly everything I thought it would be… nothing. He wasn’t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why he’s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. “To pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.” - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets weren’t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didn’t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesn’t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. What’s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, “Who’s the 5th Thunder starter?” as we wait for JDub’s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didn’t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second half… for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Cason’s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). There’s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. “Not surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.” - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup It’s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)—especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. You’d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but no… he’s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, he’s attempted eight threes.

There was some controversy in the Senate yesterday that resulted in my right to speak in the chamber being temporarily revoked by the Labor Government, with the support of the Greens. This happened due to comments I made during a debate where I criticised the Greens for their apologist stance toward Islamic extremist terrorism. As a consequence, I was unable to deliver a speech I had prepared, which called for an end to the excessive use of acknowledgments and welcomes to country. Fortunately, I have strong backup in the form of One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts 🇦🇺 who was able to deliver the speech and instigate this debate on my behalf. Even when they attempt to silence one voice, they cannot silence all of us. The will of the people will always find a way to be heard. Here are the prepared remarks I had intended to deliver: I would like to congratulate the Australian people for their overwhelming rejection of the divisive voice to Parliament at the October referendum. However, it was more than a rejection of the voice. It was a rejection of the entire Uluru Statement – all 26 pages of it. It was a rejection of a treaty and truth-telling – or more accurately, a re-write of history with an eye on financial settlements funded by non-indigenous taxpayers. It was a rejection of identity politics, grievance politics and the activist cult of victimhood. And primarily, it was a rejection of racial division. And one of the most racially divisive features of modern discourse in Australia is welcome to country ceremonies, along with acknowledgements of country. Australians – including many indigenous people – are sick and tired of them. They are sick of being told Australia is not their country, which is what these things effectively do. Welcomes and acknowledgements deny the citizenship and sovereignty held equally by all Australians. They perpetuate the falsehood that prior to 1788, nations existed on this continent. They didn’t. This is a foreign notion, an activist device imported from Canada that does not reflect the reality of Australian history. I remind the Senate of the promise made by leading voice campaigner Marcia Langton who promised no more ‘welcomes to country’ if the voice was rejected. We can only hope this promise is lived up to. Federal taxpayers forked out at least 45,000 dollars for these rituals the previous financial year, although I understand the figure could be much higher as not every government department has come clean on what they spend. It’s not even an genuine pre-settlement ritual for most aborigines. It was invented in 1976 by Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley. I acknowledge Narungga elder Kerry White from South Australia, a great contributor to the ‘no’ campaign, who said these rituals are not even being used correctly. She said last year that it should be reserved for indigenous people welcoming other indigenous people to local country, and that its use by non-indigenous Australians was just virtue-signalling. She wasn’t wrong about the virtue-signalling, that’s for sure. Ms White said: “…they’ve taken our ceremonial process and demeaned it by throwing it out there every day in every aspect of what Australian people do. And I think that is culturally wrong.” She even said ‘welcomes to country’ were an attack on indigenous culture. I also acknowledge another indigenous leader of the ‘no’ campaign, Senator Naminjimpa Price, who said recently that ‘welcomes to country’ were “definitely divisive”. I’m confident I speak for the majority of Australians in saying I wish Professor Langton had included acknowledgements of country too. They’re recited at the beginning of every parliamentary sitting day, every council meeting, and every zoom meeting held by public servants. We hear them at the conclusion of every domestic flight – you can hear the groans in the cabin every time. They have effectively lost all meaning for their constant repetition. To foster national unity, and to help put an end to racial division in this country, it’s time to leave indigenous rituals to indigenous Australians. One Nation is supremely confident we speak for the majority of all Australians regardless of race when we call for an end to welcomes and acknowledgements of country. We know that for many, the promise of an end to them motivated their no vote at the referendum. We call on this Parliament, all other Australian parliaments, all government departments, and every local government in this nation, to stop signalling virtue you don’t possess and stop dividing this country by abusing these indigenous rituals. Australians don’t want them. Australians don’t want racial division, and they said that most emphatically on 14 October at the referendum. Let’s move forward together as one people, one nation under one flag.

From Creator to Founder: The Rollercoaster Journey of Building Chatter Social Man, what a journey it’s been so far. Four years ago, I was just another creator, spending late nights on Clubhouse during the height of the pandemic. Like so many others, I was searching for connection, for community, for something meaningful. But what I found there wasn’t just connection—it was purpose. Alongside my brother, Jonathan Bing, we built a nightly show that reached over 5 million people. Imagine that: 5 million lives touched by conversations that felt real and unfiltered, all on a platform that at its peak had 10 million monthly active users. Clubhouse was magic. But then the decline began. Watching the platform struggle, I couldn’t help but reflect: what made it great? What went wrong? And what could the future look like if we did things differently? The Spark of Chatter As a content creator, I understood the needs of both creators and users. I knew what excited people, what kept them engaged, and what made them leave. Clubhouse had tapped into something special, but it had missed the mark on scalability and sustainability. By September 2023, I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential for something new—something that brought back the magic of real-time interaction but made it scalable, engaging, and sticky. And so, I set out to build Chatter Social. But I wasn’t a tech founder. I didn’t have a background in software development or a network of Silicon Valley insiders. What I did have was determination and the belief that if I could bring the right people together, we could build something extraordinary. Building the Team The journey to build Chatter started with assembling a team. Through my network from my days on Clubhouse, I found Samir, my first CTO. He believed in the vision and was instrumental in getting the project off the ground. Shortly after, I connected with Tyler, our Head of Design, whose creativity brought life to our ideas. A developer joined us soon after, and we were off to the races. By the end of 2023, Samir had to step away due to other commitments, and we promoted the developer to CTO. At the same time, I brought on Banko, a Sony music executive, as our CMO. Banko’s connections led to one of our biggest early wins: landing Davido, a global superstar, as an owner-ambassador. To this day, I still marvel at the fact that Davido believed in our vision when all we had were Tyler’s Figma designs. From Dream to Reality Early 2024 was a whirlwind. We hired Yurii and Vasyl, two developers from Ukraine who brought incredible skill and dedication to the team. Vasyl, in particular, stood out as a leader and has since earned an equity position in the company. But despite these wins, we were facing growing pains. Our new CTO struggled to meet deadlines, and as a result, I found myself constantly pushing back the launch date. What started as a January release turned into February, then March, then April, then May. By then, people on Twitter Spaces—where I had been hyping up the platform—started doubting if we even had a product. Launch and Lessons June 1, 2024, marked a turning point. It was the day my son Noah was born and the day we launched Chatter in private beta. We started with just 40 users, but by the end of the month, we had grown to 1,000. The engagement was unbelievable. Users loved it, even though we had launched with just one feature: live rooms. This represented less than 20% of what we had planned, but it was enough to show that we were onto something big. In July, we launched our public beta on the App Store as an invite-only platform. Within 48 hours, Chatter ranked as a top 30 social app in over 30 countries. But our invite system throttled access, and most users couldn’t get in. While engagement metrics soared for those inside, our AWS costs exploded. In August, our AWS bill hit $10,000. By September, it had climbed to $15,000, and we were drowning in bugs and glitches. The breaking point came when our CTO became unresponsive, often disappearing during critical moments. Users were dropping off, frustrated by the issues, developers were confused and the team was also growing increasingly frustrated, I made the tough decision to let him go. A New Beginning Enter Horane, a long-time user of Chatter who had been with us since private beta. He was the first to discover some of the most innovative use cases for the platform and had a deep passion for its potential. After meeting him in person at a Chatter event, I knew he was the right person to step into the CTO role. When Horane took over, we discovered just how bad the situation was. Key areas of the codebase were locked, and there were no separate environments for development and production. Every fix seemed to break something else. But through sheer determination and countless 18-hour days, Horane stabilized the platform. Today, Chatter is far from perfect, but it’s stable. The bugs that plagued us have been reduced to moderate issues, and our core users—those who stuck with us through the chaos—are still engaged on the platform. Looking Ahead: Chatter V2 While the platform is stable now, we’ve shifted our focus to Chatter V2. This is where the magic really begins. V2 isn’t just an improvement; it’s a complete reimagining of the platform. It includes all the features we couldn’t release in V1 because we were too busy putting out fires. Imagine this: Chatter V1, with only one live feature, was incredibly sticky. Now think about what happens when we release a fully loaded platform with all the innovative features we’ve been working on behind the scenes. The possibilities are endless. V2 is slated to hit TestFlight by the end of December, with a public release in January 2025. And this time, we’re ready—not just with the product but with the lessons we’ve learned. The Hard Lessons This journey has taught me more than I ever thought possible: 1) Your Team is Everything: The right people can make or break your vision. Finding people who believe in your mission is just as important as finding people with the right skills. 2) Adaptability is Key: As a non-technical founder, I had to learn about development, DevOps, and product management on the fly. Challenges will push you to grow, whether you’re ready or not. 3) Trust the Process: Every setback, every delay, every bug—it all taught us something. Without those lessons, we wouldn’t be building the incredible V2 product we are today. 4) Resilience is Non-Negotiable: From technical disasters to predatory investors who tried to exploit my desperation, I’ve had to fight for this vision every step of the way. What’s Next December is shaping up to be an exciting month. We have some amazing events planned on the platform to close out the year, bringing our core community together as we prepare for the V2 launch. When V2 drops, it will mark a new era for Chatter. This isn’t just a social audio platform or a social audiovisual platform. Chatter is all about interactive experiences—making social media social again in ways that are truly unique. The public launch is slated for February 2025, and for the first time, we’ll have the marketing dollars to tell the world about Chatter.

From Creator to Founder: The Rollercoaster Journey of Building Chatter Social Man, what a journey it’s been so far. Four years ago, I was just another creator, spending late nights on Clubhouse during the height of the pandemic. Like so many others, I was searching for connection, for community, for something meaningful. But what I found there wasn’t just connection—it was purpose. Alongside my brother, Jonathan Bing, we built a nightly show that reached over 5 million people. Imagine that: 5 million lives touched by conversations that felt real and unfiltered, all on a platform that at its peak had 10 million monthly active users. Clubhouse was magic. But then the decline began. Watching the platform struggle, I couldn’t help but reflect: what made it great? What went wrong? And what could the future look like if we did things differently? The Spark of Chatter As a content creator, I understood the needs of both creators and users. I knew what excited people, what kept them engaged, and what made them leave. Clubhouse had tapped into something special, but it had missed the mark on scalability and sustainability. By September 2023, I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential for something new—something that brought back the magic of real-time interaction but made it scalable, engaging, and sticky. And so, I set out to build Chatter Social. But I wasn’t a tech founder. I didn’t have a background in software development or a network of Silicon Valley insiders. What I did have was determination and the belief that if I could bring the right people together, we could build something extraordinary. Building the Team The journey to build Chatter started with assembling a team. Through my network from my days on Clubhouse, I found Samir, my first CTO. He believed in the vision and was instrumental in getting the project off the ground. Shortly after, I connected with Tyler, our Head of Design, whose creativity brought life to our ideas. A developer joined us soon after, and we were off to the races. By the end of 2023, Samir had to step away due to other commitments, and we promoted the developer to CTO. At the same time, I brought on Banko, a Sony music executive, as our CMO. Banko’s connections led to one of our biggest early wins: landing Davido, a global superstar, as an owner-ambassador. To this day, I still marvel at the fact that Davido believed in our vision when all we had were Tyler’s Figma designs. From Dream to Reality Early 2024 was a whirlwind. We hired Yurii and Vasyl, two developers from Ukraine who brought incredible skill and dedication to the team. Vasyl, in particular, stood out as a leader and has since earned an equity position in the company. But despite these wins, we were facing growing pains. Our new CTO struggled to meet deadlines, and as a result, I found myself constantly pushing back the launch date. What started as a January release turned into February, then March, then April, then May. By then, people on Twitter Spaces—where I had been hyping up the platform—started doubting if we even had a product. Launch and Lessons June 1, 2024, marked a turning point. It was the day my son Noah was born and the day we launched Chatter in private beta. We started with just 40 users, but by the end of the month, we had grown to 1,000. The engagement was unbelievable. Users loved it, even though we had launched with just one feature: live rooms. This represented less than 20% of what we had planned, but it was enough to show that we were onto something big. In July, we launched our public beta on the App Store as an invite-only platform. Within 48 hours, Chatter ranked as a top 30 social app in over 30 countries. But our invite system throttled access, and most users couldn’t get in. While engagement metrics soared for those inside, our AWS costs exploded. In August, our AWS bill hit $10,000. By September, it had climbed to $15,000, and we were drowning in bugs and glitches. The breaking point came when our CTO became unresponsive, often disappearing during critical moments. Users were dropping off, frustrated by the issues, developers were confused and the team was also growing increasingly frustrated, I made the tough decision to let him go. A New Beginning Enter Horane, a long-time user of Chatter who had been with us since private beta. He was the first to discover some of the most innovative use cases for the platform and had a deep passion for its potential. After meeting him in person at a Chatter event, I knew he was the right person to step into the CTO role. When Horane took over, we discovered just how bad the situation was. Key areas of the codebase were locked, and there were no separate environments for development and production. Every fix seemed to break something else. But through sheer determination and countless 18-hour days, Horane stabilized the platform. Today, Chatter is far from perfect, but it’s stable. The bugs that plagued us have been reduced to moderate issues, and our core users—those who stuck with us through the chaos—are still engaged on the platform. Looking Ahead: Chatter V2 While the platform is stable now, we’ve shifted our focus to Chatter V2. This is where the magic really begins. V2 isn’t just an improvement; it’s a complete reimagining of the platform. It includes all the features we couldn’t release in V1 because we were too busy putting out fires. Imagine this: Chatter V1, with only one live feature, was incredibly sticky. Now think about what happens when we release a fully loaded platform with all the innovative features we’ve been working on behind the scenes. The possibilities are endless. V2 is slated to hit TestFlight by the end of December, with a public release in January 2025. And this time, we’re ready—not just with the product but with the lessons we’ve learned. The Hard Lessons This journey has taught me more than I ever thought possible: 1) Your Team is Everything: The right people can make or break your vision. Finding people who believe in your mission is just as important as finding people with the right skills. 2) Adaptability is Key: As a non-technical founder, I had to learn about development, DevOps, and product management on the fly. Challenges will push you to grow, whether you’re ready or not. 3) Trust the Process: Every setback, every delay, every bug—it all taught us something. Without those lessons, we wouldn’t be building the incredible V2 product we are today. 4) Resilience is Non-Negotiable: From technical disasters to predatory investors who tried to exploit my desperation, I’ve had to fight for this vision every step of the way. What’s Next December is shaping up to be an exciting month. We have some amazing events planned on the platform to close out the year, bringing our core community together as we prepare for the V2 launch. When V2 drops, it will mark a new era for Chatter. This isn’t just a social audio platform or a social audiovisual platform. Chatter is all about interactive experiences—making social media social again in ways that are truly unique. The public launch is slated for February 2025, and for the first time, we’ll have the marketing dollars to tell the world about Chatter. Our core community has been our biggest cheerleaders, and I can’t wait to see how the world reacts when they experience what we’ve built.
