When Optimus comes out I want to hire a whole swarm of them to erase graffiti in every city and town. The only problem I see is how to keep those bots from being harassed.

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.

My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.

A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.

You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.

Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

Was dreaming a lot the other night. Pushing so many commits to Github and absolutely closing so many PRs. Artifacts created in Claude, in my dream, and code, none of it would show up when I woke up. None of this would show up from my “dream” GitHub to real GitHub. Would be an interesting neuralink feature. Sleep cloud to real cloud.

I came from the Netherlands when I was 9, in 1989. We ate peanut butter on butter sandwiches. Or jelly/jam on butter. Or chocolate sprinkles on butter. Or Nutella on butter.

I thought y’all were insane for combining peanut butter and jelly, forgetting the butter.

Every AI app puts the voice button right where my thumb lands to type or hit send, so voice mode fires by accident. It sucks. Let me move it or turn it off completely.

Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.

He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.

Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing ll Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.

Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.

His entire formula fits on a napkin.

Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.

That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.

"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."

That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.

Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.

The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.

Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.

The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.

Probably the people hacking and exploiting the underpinnings of the internet to attempt to bring it down have a large bet on Kalshi and Polymarket that it will go down.

“I was first struck by the absence of time, having depended on it so completely as a measure of my self and my life; moving backwards into the perpetual night it consumes purpose, indeed, all passion and will.

There is truth you know, friend, if that's all you seek but there's no justice or judgment without which truth is a vast... dead... hollow.

I come to you, old friend with a dull clarity of the dead not to beckon you, but to feel the fire and intensity that still live in you... and the heavy weight of your burdens which I had once borne.
