Let this be a sober reminder that 31 years ago, a tragic event at Ruby Ridge led to the death of a 14-year-old. It is a grim testament to unchecked authority and the consequences of a militarized law enforcement. #RubyRidge

Getting real sick of these wildfires and the smoke.

Repeat after me. There's no such thing as "Free speech" in the EU or the UK. You can be jailed for denying the holocaust, you can be jailed for teaching a dog the nazi salute, you can be jailed for insulting the police. There's no such thing as freedom of speech, I Don't care what they call their laws, it's a blatant lie. There are limitations in America, but they are so precise and small and usually make complete sense. Americans take that for granted when discussing other countries.

Rwanda, celebrated as Africa's rising digital star, aspires to be a regional tech hub. But amidst this digital progress, concerns about digital rights, online censorship, and privacy persist.

Thought Meta’s Threads app would be a fresh digital landscape. But now? It’s a stage for corporations and celebs masquerading as ‘the cool kids’. I’m not here to watch Zuck mimic a McDonald’s drive-thru. Sorry, that’s not the vibe.

Adversity, like the wind, is a force of nature that we cannot control but can choose how we respond to. When it gusts towards us, it tests the mettle of our spirit. Like a weak flame, a spirit untested or sheltered from hardships can be easily extinguished by the winds of adversity. It flickers and dances anxiously, hoping to evade the gusts, but ultimately, it succumbs, leaving behind the smoke of regret and the darkness of despair. But consider instead the mighty fire. It too encounters the wind, but it does not fear it. Instead, it uses it. The wind, intending to douse it, only provides the oxygen that fuels the fire's growth. Each gust makes the fire roar louder, rise higher. The flames, instead of succumbing, leap up to meet the challenge, growing brighter and stronger. The fire shows us how we can approach adversity. We must welcome it, not as an enemy, but as a chance to grow stronger and burn brighter. We must consume it, transform it, and use it to fuel our passions, our dreams, our resolve. Let us, then, be not little flames, flickering and fearful, but roaring fires, ever bright, ever resilient, ready to rise with every gust that life sends our way.

I’m gonna find one of those orbs and let it scan my brown eye. View quoted note →

Elon has owned the domain x.com since the 90s. He wanted to use it for Paypal but Peter Thiel nixed the idea. Since then he's been kicking around the idea of an "everything app" called X which I can only assume is like Line in Japan or WeChat in China. He's been planning to use Twitter as the prototype for that since he bought it.
