SpaceX has introduced a new website for Starfall, which enables affordable, routine access to a microgravity environment, providing unique opportunities for manufacturing, scientific research, and testing in low-Earth orbit.
Starfall specs:
• Payload capacity: 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs)
• Payload power: 1 kW
• Data interface: Ethernet
• Mission duration: Customizable to payload requirements
• Connectivity: Continuous via Starlink
SpaceX says Starfall is for:
• Biomedical Research: Developing advanced biomaterials, medical implants, stem-cell organoids, and replacement tissues.
• Pharmaceutical Discovery: Growing more uniform protein and drug crystals in microgravity to accelerate drug development.
• Materials Science: Manufacturing next-generation materials and semiconductors using the vacuum and microgravity environment of space.

We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

Anthropic has officially revealed in its IPO filing today that the company expects to spend up to $120.5 billion on @SpaceX SI compute through 2029.
• Monthly payments up to $3.1B, or $37.2B annually.
• SpaceX is expected to deliver all contracted computing capacity by Dec 2026.
• Anthropic (and SpaceX) can terminate the agreements with 90 days' notice after the initial contract periods end in early 2027.
Here's the exact wording directly from the filing: "Between May and October 2026, we entered into and amended several agreements with SpaceXAI to access compute powered by Nvidia GPUs. Under the SpaceXAI arrangements, we agreed to spend an aggregate of up to $120.5 billion over terms extending into 2029, consisting of approximately $3.1 billion in the aggregate per month once all capacity has been delivered, which we expect in December 2026, with different fees during capacity ramping periods. Following initial non-cancelable periods ending in January 2027 and March 2027 under the respective agreements, each agreement may be cancelled by either party upon 90 days’ advance written notice."

Anti-Jewish lies through the ages:
❌ 1300s: Jews poisoned the wells
❌ 1400s: Jews murder children for religious rituals
❌ 1500s: Jews are inherently treacherous sorcerers
❌ 1600s: Jews are economic parasites
❌ 1700s: Jews are secret orchestrators of global revolution
❌ 1800s: Jews control the global currency
❌ 1920s: Jews control the banks and media
❌ 1950s: Jews are "rootless cosmopolitans"
❌ 2000s: Jews orchestrated 9/11
❌ 2026: Jews stole your bananas and eggs
The lies have changed. The hatred for Jews has stayed the same.
Cenk Uygur's ad for Abdul El-Sayed isn't selling new politics. It's just recycling old hate.
I had to stop by @Petersen_Museum to check out the flying Tesla roadster!
France is the Bell Weather for the West…
David Friedberg: France’s Crisis Is a Warning for America
“France is a bellwether for the West.
So take a look at this chart. This chart is a measure of public spending as a percent of GDP.
And you can see the comparison of France's public spending as a % of GDP to the peak public spending as a % of GDP of major communist nations.”
@Chamath:
“So do you think France is a communist state? They spend like it.”
@Jason:
“Well, it's certainly been a socialist state, right?”
Chamath:
“Is it working?”
@Friedberg:
“That's my point. And I think this is such a prescient lesson for the West to look at.
We all think that there's some political problem with Macron or whoever it was.
The more the government spends, the worse the conditions get for its people, not the opposite, and then the people riot and revolt.
Take a guess where the US is today. US public spending is roughly 36% of GDP. France today is operating its national government spending deficit is 5.4% of GDP. The US is actually 6.2% of GDP.
France is, I think, probably the first to go because they're only growing their economy at half a percent while the US is growing at 2.3%.
So we're still kind of hanging on because we have some degree of economic growth that's allowing us to kind of hold things together.
But I would argue that we are facing the same sort of fiscal cliff which leads to this extraordinary social unrest as France.
All the economic measures are aligned, we're at the same rate, we're at the same set of problems, and we're starting to see the cracks in the system.
There's probably a multi-year solution.”

Everyone said "Hey Grok" was impossible on iPhone. Even Grok said Apple keeps wake words for Siri only. So I kept digging, and I found a way. Now I just say "Hey Grok" and Grok Bot voice chat opens. No extra apps, no cost, all built into iOS.
How to set it up:
1. Make sure your Grok Bot app is up to date
2. Shortcuts app → + → Add Action → search "Grok Bot" → pick "Start Voice Chat with Bot"
3. Settings → Accessibility → Vocal Shortcuts → Set Up → pick that shortcut → type "Hey Grok" and say it 3 times
4. In the shortcut's details, turn on "Allow Running When Locked"
If your phone is locked, iOS asks for one tap first. If Face ID already unlocked it, it's fully hands-free.

We are launching the Tesla Robotaxi safety report today.
Till date, Robotaxi has driven a total of 3.3 million miles autonomously, and has had zero injuries nor airbag deployments. If the same number of miles were to be manually driven, we should expect roughly 9 injuries to the occupants or other pedestrians and 4 airbag deployments on average.
We will continue to transparently share our progress with the public using this page.

Can’t wait to connect anywhere on earth and beyond!

True.
You will be able to ask the Roadster to perform any of the tricks shown autonomously, as it will be sentient.
Also, we will have a wild looping track (crazier even than Hot Wheels) at our Texas HQ where you can test out your Roadster.

בי נשבעתי, כל יום תופיע כאן תמונה של משפחת סימן טוב קדם זכרם לברכה,
הענף שנכרת בעץ המשפחתי שלי.
תמרי קדם בת דודתי,ג'ון בעלה, ארבל שחר ועומריקו המלאכים.
שהופקרו ונרצחו בניר עוז.
עד שממשלת המוות, מממנת החמאס, היהירה, המפקירה, המנותקת, המזופתת, המושחתת והאנטי ציונית תצא מחיינו.
