I think the world of Nayib Bukele.
Pou chèf gang yo ak manm gang yo k ap kenbe kat konpatriyòt nou yo an otaj ann Ayiti: Mesye nou kidnape yo pa konbatan. Yo se teknisyen nan domèn avyasyon ki fè pati misyon nou ann Ayiti, nan kad yon misyon entènasyonal. Misyon nou an gen sèlman pilòt ak pèsonèl teknik, ki gen kòm travay prensipal fè evakyasyon medikal epi sove lavi moun, pa fè lagè. Men, nou te kidnape yo yon fason lach pandan yo t ap retounen apre yo te fin achte manje nan yon makèt nan zòn nan. Se poutèt sa, jodi a nou te lanse yon operasyon militè pou pote yo sekou. Nou gen yon sèl objektif: fè kat konpatriyòt nou yo retounen lakay yo vivan, san okenn mal. Men, mwen vle pou nou menm, chèf gang yo, konprann yon bagay byen klè: atak jodi a pa anyen devan sa k ap vini si nou pa remèt toule kat otaj yo vivan. Epi pa pran pawòl nou yo pou menas san fondman. Nou deja fini ak gang yo nan El Salvador, e nou kapab fini ak nou tou. Nou toujou gen tan pou evite sa. Remèt nou kat konpatriyòt nou yo vivan, san okenn mal, epi tout bagay ap retounen jan sa te ye anvan kidnaping lan. Desizyon an nan men nou.

Think back... this didn't used to happen. It was a very rare event when a seemingly healthy person dropped dead. If you are old enough to remember the name Jim Fixx, I can show you what I mean. This was front page news at the time in 1984. An athlete died unexpectedly. Now it happens somewhere in the world every single day. @NicHulscher @JesslovesMJK @chrismartenson JAMES F. FIXX DIES JOGGING; AUTHOR ON RUNNING WAS 52 - The New York Times nytimes.com/1984/07/22/obitu…
At least 10 prominent athletes DIED UNEXPECTEDLY or were struck by anomalous medical emergencies in JUST the last 21 days. Large numbers of sports stars continue to drop like flies since the mRNA gene therapies were rolled out. In October 2026 ALONE: • Jalen Hurts, 28 (NFL, Philadelphia Eagles) — Blood clots in BOTH lungs • Allen Bailey, 37 (Former NFL, Chiefs/Falcons) — Found DEAD at home • Ben Kindel, 19 (NHL, Pittsburgh Penguins) — Medical emergency on team flight • Kasey Redfern, 35 (Former NFL, Lions/Falcons) — DEAD from CNS lymphoma • DJ Jones, 18 (NCAA Football, Missouri Tigers) — HEART TRANSPLANT • Heidi Burge Horton, 54 (Former WNBA, LA Sparks/Washington Mystics) — DEAD from brain cancer • Hyron Andrews, 31 (Professional Rugby, Johannesburg Lions) — DEAD from aortic dissection • Cheryl Waaka, 56 (Former Rugby, New Zealand Black Ferns) — DEAD from bowel cancer • Eirik Skadsdammen, 45 (Former Pro Hockey, Storhamar/Norway) — DEAD from cardiac arrest • Jack Davies, 24 (Welsh Rugby, RGC/Caernarfon) — DEAD, cause undisclosed This is NOT normal.

OMG the segments where Tesla's veer to avoid Waymos are side splittingly funny. @Teslaconomics @paullecoque
Tesla has just released a new video compilation of its fully autonomous/unsupervised Robotaxis (including Cybercabs and Model Ys) avoiding collisions and pedestrians, driving in heavy rain, stopping for emergency vehicles and animals, navigating tricky scenarios, and more.

Elon is converting $SPCX skeptics into fans The lesson? Tune out the noise and never stop building
I owe $SPCX and @elonmusk a public apology. I thought the valuation SpaceX was getting was insane. Q3 changed my mind. When I'm wrong I say it, and these numbers were incredible. $14.6B revenue vs about $12.9B expected
$0.35 EPS
$8.8B adjusted EBITDA, up 306%
$7.6B of Space Intelligence revenue, up 830%. It's now their biggest segment. Elon is talking about $500B to $1T of ARR by the end of 2027. Even if they only get halfway there, I was wrong on the valuation. I'm writing a full analysis on @SeekingAlpha and upgrading my sentiment to bullish. @elonmusk I have an idea. You're giving 1 share of SpaceX to every kid in America next year through Trump Accounts. What if there was a fund where the rest of us could donate shares and try to get your commitment matched? I can't match what you're doing but I'd gladly donate $SPCX shares to a fund that gets them to kids next year. Who else would chip in? $SPCX $TSLA

Another great post by Chad Sakac of IonQ. As a 40+ year veteran of semiconductor process and materials development and an IonQ investor, I specifically want to point out the statement below about laser scalability from Chad's blog post. Quantinuum plans to enable laser scaling using established photonic integrated circuit (PIC) foundry processes. In other words, the laser energy will reach the trapped ions via waveguides, built into the chips, in between or underneath the ion traps, and this would (for the most part) take the place of IonQ's electronic qubit control. There will be many hurdles to making this work. The issue of photon loss due to waveguide line edge roughness has been acknowledged elsewhere in the world of quantum; thequantuminsider.com/2026/0… As well getting the necessary stability in the laser system may require the integration of new, leading edge materials like LiTaO3, beyond the scope of current HVM Silicon Nitride waveguides and PICs. This work will take years of R&D. quantumnews.in/article/quant… Chad's words: " I remain very, VERY skeptical about scaling laser control systems in Trapped Ion and Neutral Atom systems. I’m also skeptical for PICs as a mechanism to make this leap. They are better than bulk optics for sure, but not something that can scale like fully electronic mechanisms on integrated circuits at scale. They have their bet, we have ours — time will tell. " @sakacc @genejchan @paullecoque @HannaSuds
While travelling all over to spend time with customers, partners and the team, took a beat to put down thoughts on what's what in our part of Quantum the world, the race to scaled FTQC. "Put up or shut up: Part Deux" here: medium.com/@sakacc/put-up-or… My own thoughts, always.

From Michael Clay Lovejoy On FB: As I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind! • If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. • Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. • Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good. • It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it. • People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. • People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. • Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. • Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome. • $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not. • If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free. • People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President. • We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us. • Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now. • Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights. • And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?! Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right. Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!

Obama says the Govt can't selectively target individuals referring to the investigation into Ilhan Omar This is coming from the the same President who authorized the wiretapping of Trump Tower and weaponized the entire Govt against Trump TREASON 🚨

New poll out and James is only up 6: 🔵 Letitia James 51% 🔴 Saritha Komatireddy 45% That’s basically half the lead she had last month. People who actually watched the debate went hard for Saritha. Independents are moving her way too. James has used the AG’s office for politics while crime and fraud keep hitting regular people. Saritha’s a former federal prosecutor who’ll actually do the job. @sarithaforny has my support. Vote November 3. 🇺🇸

Can Quantum Computers make money? It's a ridiculous statement if you understand what Paul Dirac said almost 100 years ago (in 1929). Useful quantum compute will open the door to waves of new discovery and innovation in the fields of chemistry and materials. The first company able to produce machines that unlock this realm will see immense demand. IonQ is poised to be that company... @HannaSuds @genejchan @paullecoque @InvestifyDaily
🚨Est-ce que le quantique peut rapporter de l’argent, comme l’IA, ou est-ce qu’il restera quelques machines dans des labos ?? $IONQ $INFQ $INFQ pose la question concrètement. Le 3 novembre, à Londres, premier Quantum Application Forum. Un jour, à Savoy Place. Des dirigeants de la finance, de la pharma, de l’énergie, des télécoms, du public. Thème : intégrer le quantique dans la croissance économique. Ce n’est pas une conf de chercheurs. C’est une salle où on demande : où est-ce que ça crée déjà de la valeur, et qui est prêt à payer. Aujourd’hui, le calcul quantique ne pèse pas des milliards de revenus. Les pure plays font des dizaines ou des centaines de millions. L’IA, elle, a déjà des clients qui paient à grande échelle. La différence, c’est que le quantique n’a pas encore son « ChatGPT moment ». Mais il a déjà des contrats (NASA, défense, sensing) et des machines qui sortent des labos. Mon avis. Tout le monde n’aura pas une machine. Mais tout le monde n’a pas non plus un data center d’IA. Ce qui scale, ce n’est pas le nombre de machines. C’est le nombre de problèmes qui deviennent plus chers à ne pas résoudre. Si $INFQ , $IONQ et d’autres arrivent à transformer ça en factures, le marché pèsera des milliards. Sinon, ça restera un outil de niche. Le forum de Londres ne répond pas. Il commence juste à poser la question aux gens qui signent les chèques.

True, Bukele is proof that law and order works.
This is why Bukele is the most dangerous Right-winger on the planet. He exists as living proof that our decline is optional

🚨NEW: Jefferson High School football player (Portland, Oregon) takes a pregame CHEAP SHOT on Grant High School opponent all because of a USA FLAG! The player OPENLY BRAGGED about it on social media admitting to being triggered by the flag. Jefferson lost 35-14 and is 1-6 on the season. I’ve reached out to Jefferson’s Athletic Director and haven’t received a response.

This video is currently all over social media. Many are expressing sorrow for this woman and sadness at her outrage. My take on it is different. The look you see on her face is not outrage…it’s realisation. It is the look of a white, liberal lefty woman suddenly realising that her entire worldview is/was totally wrong. That what she had spent her life arrogantly portraying as her higher morality and understanding was in fact “suicidal empathy” as described by @GadSaad and that empathy was going to destroy her entire society.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver. Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître. Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France. La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

USAID started getting dismantled in early 2025. Since then: Germany went right. Argentina went right. Bolivia went right. Honduras went right. Chile went right. Ecuador stayed right. Costa Rica stayed right. Japan went big right. Slovenia went right. Peru went right. Colombia went right. Nov 3 is our first midterms without it.

🔥🚨 JAW-DROPPING BETRAYAL! 🚨🔥 Hakeem Jeffries was asked POINT-BLANK if a Democrat-controlled House would BRING BACK the illegal aliens Trump already deported to third countries (like Africa): Reporter: “Will the Congress under your leadership bring back the [illegal aliens] deported to third countries?” Jeffries NODS YES repeatedly 👀 and says: “We do.” Then drops this bombshell: “Trump’s mass deportation machine does NOT get a DIME.” Translation? Hand Democrats the gavel in November and they’ll DEFUND ICE, halt deportations, and try to REVERSE the ones already done — flying people BACK into America on YOUR dime while families struggle with groceries, rent, and crime. This is the plan. Out loud. No hiding it. If they take the House, this is what “repair work” looks like to them. VOTE. SHARE THIS. Don’t let them undo the border security Americans demanded. 🇺🇸 #Midterms #DefundICE #AmericaFirst #Jeffries #BorderCrisis

I was in an accident.. got rear ended buy a large truck while I was sitting at a light in my Model Y. He was going 50mph. My car tried to get out of the way on its own…. it drove forward and turned to avoid.. he was just going too fast. My Y saved my ass buy avoiding the car in front so we didnt have a double impact and reduced the impact by moving forwa. I hade zero injuries and walked away. I will be replacing the car with another Tesla. The car actively tried to save me and reduced the impact to my body. Just awesome…
