Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, “Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?”
She asked if I could act, and I said, “Fuck yeah, put me in your movie!”
She asked for my phone number. The only problem was I didn’t have one. So I gave her my buddy Mike’s number instead. A couple days later, Mike casually mentions, “Oh, by the way, someone called you.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MIKE?!
I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious. I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, “Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!”
I showed up to the audition with every line and inflection mapped out in pencil. Rae told me I could act and offered me the part. I asked if we were shooting in Hawaii. Nope. Los Angeles.
I had about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades.
Then Rae told me they'd fly me out. And I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor.
That little movie was Cursed Part 3, a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me.
I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Meanwhile his own campaign chief Rogerio Marinho said he was surprised by, and doesn't agree with, Bolsonaro's decision to flee. He says supporters expected Bolsonaro to stay and lead the opposition.

‼️ BREAKING: US officials believe Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is the target of a Chinese spy plot.
They believe Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive seen at his side in Taiwan, is a Chinese intelligence asset.
President Trump has been briefed about the matter.
Dear Fellow Canadians,
Please put the poppy on your fucking jackets.
Representation was sparse in the subway today. It’s disheartening.

"Elon Musk is an industrial genius. He has more than 5,000 spacecraft in orbit. We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk. It is important to maintain discipline and order in orbit. Both we and our American partners value this, and despite political issues, we work closely together in this field." ~Vladimir Putin October 28, 2026
Welp- There you go. Putin is publicly bragging about SpaceX's coordinated operation with Russia in low Earth orbit against the NRO-contracted, U.S.-licensed, NATO-allied ICEYE-X36 radar satellite to block Ukraine's targeting intelligence. Hey @SecRubio Can you barricade -Musk/Miller operative and lunatic- Natalie in an Air Force One lav and "PRINT" this thread for Trump! Thanks
FINAL: SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses
New 5-page institutional brief & 60s 3D SGP4 orbital reconstruction with Craig Pirrong, Ph.D. @streetwiseprof | Data & Forensics: RAB @LibertyLynx
Pages 1-3 & 3D animation below; Pages 4-5 in Post 2; full 5-page PDF link in Post 3 🧵👇
As Craig Pirrong's counterfactual framework establishes: The Russian intercept is not the smoking gun. The failure to maneuver is.
1. The Sprinting Satellite Paradox & -96.64% Target Freeze (Page 1): Between Oct 13 and 24, 2026, Russian counterspace weapon COSMOS 2612 (68762) converted a 5-month, ~170 m/s co-planar trailing option into a 0.759 km sub-kilometer hold against U.S.-licensed radar satellite ICEYE-X36 (59103), which guides Ukraine's autonomous deep strikes on Russian oil refineries without SpaceX links, at the exact moment SpaceX throttled Ukrainian military Starshield terminals (-23.0% USF air-defense hits).
In June 2026 (with no Starlink alert), ICEYE-X36 defeated a Russian approach by dropping 0.500 km, generating 71.08 km/day secular drift (3.62 km/h in the sprint frame), exiting Russia's 3.0 km braking box in 49.7 to 60.78 minutes, blowing past Russia's 12 km or under onboard KTZ sensor in 3.31 hours, and causing a 103.7 to 118.5 km miss.
In October, as COSMOS 2612 fired a -2.2184 km (370.8x perched shock / 449.1x fit jump) burn to sprint 14.29x faster (400 km/day / 278 m/min), ICEYE-X36's evasion collapsed by 96.64% (to 16.8154 meters or less, P3 = 3.363%).
* Why? The Alert Itself Was the Weapon: SpaceX maintained a 0.401 km (0.711 km Oct 16) public GP collision alert via STARLINK-35856 (67013) despite holding internal v3/v4 forecasts 4.80x to 5.00x wider (1.925 to 2.003 km) and withholding autonomous Starlink clearance (M_Starlink = 0, W_X36 = 1, W_COSMOS = 0), legally freezing X36 under David Goldman's 2023 FCC Condition 16 (DA 23-797).
* Rational Russian exercise across a 363.7 km blind gap required ex-ante certainty of K = (E1, E2, E3). Across all 5 capability levers, SpaceX is the sole actor (N = 1): Posterior = 99.893% to 99.978% (Tier A floor; 1 in 3,748 to 17,841) and up to 99.999% (Tier B K-set).
2. Four-Way Tracker Blindness & What NRO/USSF Saw Live (Page 2):
* Public Catalogs (18th/19th SDS): Blind for 21.824 hours (363.7 km unobserved closure) on sprint (k6 to k7) and 19.385 hours on brake (k9 to k10, -382.71 km SGP4 delta).
* Russian Ground Radars (SKKP Krona/Okno): Bounded by Earth curvature at 541 km to a 22.8 degree (2,530 km) horizon cone, blind for 8 to 10 hours/day (80% to 94.5% of the orbit) with zero Americas/Pacific coverage.
* The Sole Unblinded Commercial Panopticon: Only SpaceX's Stargaze (31,000 star trackers, 40M+ daily tracks, 17M associated, 850 sightings/day, 7 to 15 min global custody / 99.73% 10-min hit rate) and sub-1-minute Space Safety portal (Appendix A & Section 4(b), with Chinese operators onboarded Oct 6 & 16) had real-time visibility across the blind gap, while NRO & USSF watch floors watched live on the classified High Accuracy Catalog (HAC / Space Fence / Vantor WorldView NEI), realizing 348 Starshield satellites in orbit (245 NRO spy satellites) sit on the same SpaceX bus.
3. Contracted Capacity Is Not Combat Availability & The 6-Way C2 Collapse (Page 3):
* Combat Output = Sensor Availability x Link Availability x Platform Availability x Permission Arriving Before Mission Window Closes (T_permission <= T_mission).
* The Two-Pronged Pincer: SpaceX weaponized FCC Condition 16 to freeze the Sensor Layer in orbit and a Commercial ToS ($500 liability cap) to blind the Transport Layer on the ground.
* 70-90 km/h Civilian Baseline vs. 4 Collapsed Alibis: Civilian Starlink in Ukraine was already capped at 70 to 90 km/h since Feb 2026 (S. Beskrestnov). The Oct 13-24 101 to 161 km/h gate hit DoD-contracted military Starshield links (-23.0% USF hits; Oct 19 Nova Vodolaha strike). Musk cycled through 4 contradicting alibis in 12 days (blaming DoD/POTUS Oct 14 -> ToS offensive loophole Oct 24 -> "sympathy for poor Russian conscripts" Oct 25 -> Russian ASAT/debris fear Oct 26), while resolving the exact same "weapon ToS" objection on U.S. LUCAS suicide drones in Iran via a 5x price hike ($5,000 to $25,000/mo)!
* COCO vs. GOGO ($8.8B+ Sign-Off Chain): Under Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO/OTA) deals signed off by Pete Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg, CTO Emil Michael, Lt. Gen. Philip Garrant, Gen. Michael Guetlein, Col. Ryan Frazier, Clare Hopper & NRO's Dr. Chris Scolese, taxpayers fund the satellites while SpaceX's civilian NOC retains 100% of the physical thruster and velocity kill-switches.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Bad news. Looks like Narco Rubio's thugs in Bolivia are going to arrest Nadia Beller, the lawyer who blew the lid off the US-Israeli black op to steal elections and empower the far right across Latin America -- the same Big Tech/CIA conspiracy that just fell short in Brazil.
SCOOP: Nadia Beller, the Bolivian whistleblower who survived an assassination attempt ordered by Trump associate and political operative Fernando Cerimedo, tells me authorities are seeking to arrest her as soon as Friday. According to sources within the Bolivian government and police, the case will argue that her (brave) testimony against Cerimedo’s crimes—which range from U.S. backed election interference to drug trafficking—is evidence she had prior knowledge and failed to report.
Beller, a lawyer herself, cites multiple legal grounds for immunity and says this is an obvious attempt to silence her for exposing a corruption network spanning from Washington DC to Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, and beyond. Beller’s whistleblowing prompted investigations in Argentina and Chile, including a congressional commission probing Cerimedo.
The Bolivian attorney general who arrested and charged Cerimedo with femicide for the attack on Beller was sanctioned by the U.S. and later detained by Bolivian authorities.
Beller says she fears for her life and the life of her unborn child, which Cerimedo allegedly fathered. She is calling on the international community to support her in the face of political lawfare, attempted femicide, and state repression. Please share far and wide.

在硅谷百亿富豪圈里，防火防盗真得防自己二十年的铁哥们！
谷歌联合创始人、身家超千亿美元的谢尔盖·布林（Sergey Brin），早年和马斯克是穿一条裤子的生死之交
2008年金融危机特斯拉资金链彻底断裂、距离破产只剩几天时，是布林二话不说带头掏出 50 万美元救了马斯克的命，马斯克感动得把全球第一批造出来的 Model X 直接送给布林。
结果 2022 年《华尔街日报》爆出惊天大瓜：布林的第二任华裔律政娇妻妮可·沙纳汉（Nicole Shanahan），在迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展期间与马斯克发生了短暂越轨绯闻！
据外媒披露，马斯克事后甚至在一次派对上单膝跪地请求布林的原谅；但这位谷歌大佬表面点头接受道歉，转头立刻以“不可调和的分歧”向法院递交了离婚诉状，并直接给自己的私人家族办公室下达了死命令
把名下持有的所有马斯克关联公司股票全部清仓抛售，二十年的兄弟情当场就给清零了。
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
该帖将华尔街日报基于匿名来源的报道作为确凿事实，包括妮可·沙纳汉与马斯克的绯闻、马斯克跪地求饶及布林立即清仓等细节。马斯克公开否认称“完全是胡说”，沙纳汉律师称是“彻头彻尾的谎言”。

Eighty-six years ago today, at a defining moment in the Second World War, the Greek people stood against fascism.
They chose resistance over surrender, making extraordinary sacrifices in defence of freedom.
On Όχι Day, I join the Greek community in Canada and around the world in honouring the legacy of those who stood up for liberty.

Canada & Brazil are moving toward closer cooperation, with Mexico potentially joining a broader regional partnership.
Together, the three will strengthen economic independence, promote fair trade, reinforce the law, and reduce malicious US influence over the Western Hemisphere.

Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."
Please bring back Obama.
Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

This is a fantastic piece in today’s @globeandmail by @arthurhlam on the failures of “branch plant” industrial policy in Canada.
Entire article is worth reading but a few call-outs below. Glad we’re finally having this debate!
- - -
“Stelco and Stellantis are just two examples of multinationals accused of breaking their Canadian commitments to pursue their own financial interests. This trend undermines a central tenet of the federal government’s approach to jobs and economic development: branch-plant economics, where Canada hosts factories and offices owned by foreign-headquartered corporations.”
“Canadians should be upset not only that these multinationals took Canadians’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars and enriched their foreign shareholders, but that governments encouraged this unsustainable model of economic development.”
“We should not subsidize companies that put foreign shareholders and governments ahead of their commitments to Canadian communities, businesses and workers. Canadian-owned companies tend to have a deeper stake in how this country turns out, and our industrial policy should reflect that.”
Stelco and Stellantis show the limits of branch-plant economics. Public support should go to firms that commit to lasting jobs, ownership, and benefits in Canada. Glad to participate in this public conversation.
