Space. AI. The unexplained. Optimist with awkward questions. The future is arriving faster than anyone planned — and it's wilder than the headlines suggest.

BREAKING: Argentina’s Javier Milei just walked into the UN and said the quiet part out loud. The UN is a “useless organisation whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well intentioned bureaucrats” The so called defenders of human rights sheltered bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the street. They were meant to guarantee collective security. Instead they let chaos, violence and international terrorism flourish. “Good people do not think about controlling the lives of their fellow human beings” One of the few world leaders willing to tell that room the truth to their faces. Viva la libertad, carajo.

The AI age is here. We either prepare our kids for it, or we don’t.
“Results in reading, mathematics and science were above the national average and comparable to the average results in Germany and Sweden.” These are the results of our pilot program, which includes AI tutors and has been running in 171 public schools for just over a year. It was evaluated by PISA for Schools in June of this year. Since then, it has already expanded to more than 1,000 schools, and within 18 months, it will be in every public school in our country. In a few years, El Salvador will inspire the world. Security was just the beginning 🇸🇻

A must watch interview on @theallinpod
Eric Weinstein on UFO's: "There is definitely something there. I am worried they are multi temporal adversaries - Time travel. 🛸👽😱 “We have been too long in Einstein’s prison.” If general relativity is the last word, he says UAPs are probably 1960s nation state weapons. He does not think GR is the last word. “I’m worried about multi temporal adversaries.” Time may not be one dimensional. “If you meet an adversary who has access to multi-time, it’s like you’re trying to compete with them with an A-10 Warthog and you’ve got your only gun on a track, except with time rather than with space.” The speed of light is too brutal if Einstein stays in force. Go to Alpha Centauri and back near light speed and Earth is eight years older when you return. “Nobody wants to do that, and that’s just the first star.” He points to a real instrument. DESI at Kitt Peak in southern Arizona. He believes it will show the cosmological constant is not constant, that dark energy is written into Einstein’s equations with the wrong formula, and that the result is heading toward five sigma “if we aren’t there already.” The physics we teach may be a prison. A named experiment in Arizona is the lock he thinks is about to click.

The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations: We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy. These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense. We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.

I’ve spent many weeks doing fieldwork in Tibet, sitting above these enormous, deeply incised Himalayan river systems and seeing firsthand just how geologically active this landscape is. So spare me the climate-change grift every time a natural disaster strikes. Catastrophic glacial outburst floods are not new. The 1981 Zhangzangbo GLOF released ~20 million m³ of water and debris into Nepal, with estimated peak discharge approaching 16,000 m³/s. The Himalayas experienced enormous GLOFs long before today's atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. If it happened naturally in the past, we should expect it to happen naturally again in the future—regardless of atmospheric CO₂. Turning a horrific loss of life into an immediate climate-change narrative without demonstrating that CO₂ caused this particular event isn't attribution. It's opportunism. And the people exploiting tragedy to do it are grifters.

wow.....the second half of this podcast is mind-blowing. If this doesn't make you think with both excitement and fear, then you're not paying attention.

(3:09) Has American science stalled? Cowboy science, Fauci, and the scientific precariat (21:31) Weinstein's fix: Blow a hole in the Civil Rights Act, kill peer review, fund people not ideas (41:36) Ed Witten drove physics off a cliff, and is Renaissance Technologies a secret Los Alamos? (52:49) Boom, Vroom, Zoom: Did stagnant physics save the human species?

To be honest, this is one of the most attention grabbing humanoid robot demos at the World Robot Conference 2026 in Beijing. GALBOT ET1 is absolutely stealing the show. @GalbotRobotics

Necessity is the mother of invention. Humans always find solutions to their problems.
✨🇨🇳China's "Bamboo Replaces Plastic" initiative drives production of eco-friendly bags and tableware made from fast-growing bamboo. These products fully biodegrade in 4–6 months with no microplastic residue, and cut carbon footprints by up to 70% versus their plastic equivalents.

This looks amazing, but to start with, it and other eVTOLs will be looked at with a large degree of scepticism by the public, just like the steam engine, motorcar and aeroplane. But not too far into the future they will be part of our everyday life.
Airwolf is a two-passenger electric eVTOL concept from Czech startup UDX Research, founded in 2017. Designed for city travel, it can take off and land vertically. It can reach up to 230 km/h and is compact enough to fit inside a garage.

For the public's opinion on AI to move in the right direction, we need much more of this 👇
With cancer vaccines now being discovered with AI ($MRNA), it seems that the US government might actually grow its way out of its budget deficit. It feels like we're in the early innings of the healthcare system becoming unburdened by many terminal illnesses.

Britain and America increasingly have the same problem: millions of ordinary people sense that something is wrong with their institutions, while the people running those institutions keep reassuring one another that the problem is actually the public.

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!
Starship’s heat shield solves one of the hardest structural problems in rocketry: ceramic tiles and 300-series stainless steel expand and contract at completely different rates. Three mechanisms make it work: ▷ Precision expansion gaps in a hexagonal tessellation tight enough to block plasma, wide enough to prevent tile crush on reentry heating to 1,400–1,700 °C ▷ Mechanical pinning over a flexible high-temperature blanket instead of rigid bonding allowing independent movement without stress concentration ▷ Hex geometry that eliminates straight-line plasma paths to the hull The same first-principles approach that rejects glue-and-aluminum solutions also points toward a future HLS variant that can shed the entire heavy tile system for the lunar environment.
