I believe that all fellow humans are entitled to certain simple dignities, if for no other reason than to recognize that being alive is a struggle. These are: - I will look you in the eye - I will call you by your name - I will shake your hand After that, it's up to you.

All the stocks are tanking in the USA today. Following the removal of credit from AI companies by banks last month. And the mass selling off of Trillions of Dollars of stocks by Hedge Funds. AI is going spiral to nothing like every crappy bitcoin copy.

I served in Vietnam. I seriously resent what that orange bitch, his family and his accomplices are doing to the country I fought for.

Republicans raised taxes and costs on 99% of Americans, and gave tax breaks to the richest 1%. Watch what they do, not what they say.
While Democrats are promising to follow the anti-American socialists towards MASSIVE tax hikes, big-government controlling your healthcare, and no jails or law enforcement - Republicans are putting money back in working families’ pockets, protecting our communities, and restoring American dominance. That's what's at stake. We MUST protect the greatest nation in the history of the world from being taken over by extreme radical Democrats that want to make us look like the poverty ridden streets of third world countries.

Happy Birthday to Jeff Tedford. He was head coach of @CalFootball from 2002 to 2012, leading the Bears to 8 bowl games and an overall 82-57 record. Those 82 wins are the most ever by a Cal football coach.

Let me get this straight… Sam Altman founded OpenAI as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s saying “bad things need to happen for AI to move forward.” He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s unleashing consequences from the technology that NO ONE asked for. Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…
Sam Altman: "The world needs to accept that bad things will happen for AI to move forward."

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES Department of Justice request for emergency stay in California election case. No noted dissents. The Court did not even ask for opposition briefs! A complete DEFEAT for Trump DOJ. Another victory for Elias Law Group and our clients.

*taps the sign* When costs go up and profits stay flat, that’s inflation. When costs go up and profits go up, that’s price gouging. Big Oil is using Trump’s war as an excuse to price gouge us.
Big oil's profits have tripled with the Iran War. The windfall thus far is nearly $100 billion.

The president's lawyers told SCOTUS that there’s a huge emergency and the Court just shrugged and said “nah” without even hearing from the other side. This is how far this DOJ has fallen under Todd Blanche in the eyes of the courts.

NOTE: SCOTUS denied DOJ's application about the California election without even asking for us to respond. And it was referred to the full Court. Not a single Justice noted a dissent. This is unprecedented. DOJ is now being treated like Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

Em relação ao acidente com o lear em Palm Beach. Algumas considerações. 1- o Lear jet 60 é uma evolução do 55, portanto a mesma estrutura física basicamente. 2- o Lear jet é conhecido por sua alta performance e voos próximos dos limites aerodinâmico 3- É um projeto relativamente antigo, desenhado no fim da década de 70 (55) e atualizado na de 90 (60) apos a compra pela Bombardier. 4- as principais mudanças foram a motorização e autonomia, alem dos aviônicos ( instrumentação de bordo) mas o "chassis" era o mesmo com uma esticadinha no comprimento. 5- havia células de tempestade intensas na Florida, e portanto ni caminho deles. 6- a depender do tipo de radar a bordo (a ser descoberto pela investigação) quando ocorre "infestação " de nuvens pesadas, fica difícil encontrar o melhor caminho. 7- No replantar do voo vê-se claramente que ao fazer um desvio eles entraram numa célula de CB (CUMULUS NIMBUS), ainda que pequena em relação aos outros,era um CB. 8- Ao entrar na célula aparentemente estavam em subida,co que degrada ainda.mais a performance. 9- pela transmissão da copiloto, nota-se que ja havia turbulência durante o voo e foi pedida subida para supostamente passar por cima das células ou encontrar nível mais confortável. 10- logo após ocorre o início da perda de controle do voo, que se agravou até o acidente. 11- causa do acidente, perda de controle do avião, fato. Virá no relatório preliminar. 12- causas da perda de controle, especulação: A-falha mecânica no profundor, o lear tem histórico de algumas B- travamento de superfície s por congelamento. C- Stall de baixa velocidade 13- o fato é que qualquer das razões acima levaram a perda do controle com a entrada em UAS (undesirable aircraft state). 14- A maioria dos UAS é recuperável, e a grande preocupação hoje dos órgãos reguladores é o treinamento para capacitar os pilotos a enfrentar esta situação. 15- o maior número de acidentes, historicamente, sempre foi CFIT (Contrloled flight into terrain), ou seja uma aeronave em voo normal se chocando contra um obstáculo no solo. 16- este problema deixou de existir, ou melhor se reduziu muito, com os equipamentos modernos e treinamento. 17- os "Estados indesejados" passaram a ser a principal causa de acidentes, e os órgãos legisladores passaram a olhar com mais preocupação pra eles. 18- apos a pandemia houve uma renovação muito grande nos profissionais, pilotos com mais de 40 anos de voos foram todos, ou quase, aposentados, dando espaço aos que estavam fora,centrassem nas cias, e com isto abriram-se vagas na aviação executiva. 19- nas grandes cias, criou-se treinamento obrigatório para enfrentar a situação, aliás, desde.o acidente do AF447 ja se havia iniciados estudos a respeito do problema. 20- Mais recentemente, vum programa amplo e bastante abrangente, chegou ao currículo obrigatório da empresas. 21- porém na aviação geral isto vem sendo implementado a passos lentos, pois ha um custo elevado e, em geral, as empresas resistem em assumi-lo por temor da perda deste piloto brevemente. 22- As grandes empresas de charters ja o fazem pois faz parte do currículo de homologação para operar. 23- a empresas menores ainda resistem ao custo, mas as autoridades estão apertando o cerco. 24- não afirmo que o citado no item anterior seja o caso do acidente em tela, é apenas um panorama da realidade atual. 25- deixo as autoridades o levantamento de todos os fatos a cerca do evento, como: treinamento, fadiga, experiência, documentação, planejamento de voo etc... 26- "quando um sai da rota todos sentem" a copiloto Natália era brasileira. Foi difícil ouvir o áudio do voo, fico imaginando o desespero deles a bordo, e me imagino numa situação desta. 27- se é que há consolo, ninguém sentiu nada apos o choque com o solo, porém o desespero antes dela foi enorme... Que Deus conforte a.famila de todos os envolvidos e que tiremos lições para que igual evento nunca.mais se repita.

I work in aviation so this morning I got to sit around with a bunch of pilots and discuss this horrible situation and I found it so interesting that none of the pilots thought the gender or race of the pilots were a factor at all but a bunch of fucking idiots on here do.
Co-pilot. Not in charge of the cockpit. Thousands of people dragging her. You guys are vultures.

When Dr. Larissa Portnoff was a child, she competed in Miss Teen USA, one of 3 beauty pageants Donald Trump owned from 1997-2015. Four women who competed in 1997 as children later said Trump walked into the dressing room. Now, Portnoff reveals much more. 1/3🧵

🚨 WARREN BUFFET WARNS THAT THE US DOLLAR IS ON THE BRINK OF TOTAL COLLAPSE He’s sitting on a record $380 BILLION IN CASH, not investing a single dollar because he says the stock market has turned into a CHURCH WITH A CASINO ATTACHED and he no longer understands what’s happening. “I understand fewer of the businesses as a percentage of the whole than I did 10 years ago.” When asked if a catastrophic market crash is coming, he chillingly replied: “IF YOU SAW IT COMING, IT WOULDN’T HAPPEN.” This is the same man who built Berkshire Hathaway into a $1 trillion empire… and now he’s preparing for the worst financial disaster of our lifetime. He effectively warned about creditors losing confidence on the U.S. Treasuries. And guess what… Japan’s @yutokanzakireal also revealed that Bank Of Japan discussed a worst-case scenario where dollar loses its reserve status due to loss of creditor’s trust. Japan dumping their U.S. Treasuries holdings would trigger that catastrophe. Ray Dalio has also warned that the U.S. is already past the point of no return and a debt crisis is inevitable. National Debt has reached $40 Trillion, interests payments have surpassed defense and U.S. deficit is now widening. Washington is pressuring the Bank Of Japan to not dump the U.S. Treasuries, which could lead to a global liquidity crisis. The Bank Of Japan has now announced to liquidate their Japanese equity and ETF holdings to raise cash.
日本銀行は身動きが取れず、 日本銀行は最悪のシナリオについて議論した。 ドルの暴落、あるいは基軸通貨としての地位の喪失は、世界恐慌をはるかに凌駕する事態を引き起こす可能性がある。 日本と米国は、現在の体制を何としても守ろうとするだろう。 これから新たな秩序が生まれるかもしれないが、その移行は苦痛を伴うものとなるだろう。
