Today should be a day to honor and remember those brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists three years ago — a time of somber reflection and mourning. The lives of those taken hostage, their families, and the families of those murdered forever changed on October 7, and they will never be the same. It is therefore appalling that any elected leader would politicize the anniversary of such an unspeakable tragedy, a day when armed terrorists gleefully took part in premeditated murder.
Jason Patel retweeted
Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists crossed into Israel from Gaza and brutally murdered more than 1,200 innocent souls, committing unspeakable acts of sexual violence and taking over 250 innocents hostage — including American citizens.
As we mark the third anniversary of October 7th, Lori and I are thinking of all those who lost loved ones on that horrific day, and we are praying for healing, comfort, and peace.

Three years ago today:
1,200 murdered. 251 taken hostage. The deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
Since then, antisemitism hasn't returned. It's exploded. Attacked in the streets. Hunted on campuses. Murdered from Washington to Sydney. For one reason: being Jewish.
October 7th didn't create this hatred, it revealed it.
I'm raising my daughters to be proud Jews.
Loud. Visible. Unapologetic.
We will not hide 💙

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 innocent civilians in Israel.
Among those slain were men, women, and children — including dozens of Americans.
We will never forget this act of barbarism against an ally and recommit ourselves to the defense of civilization.

I know people are having a laugh and there is a lot of Game of Thrones action, but step back a bit and appreciate how deep the bench is for tech and AI in the US. What a privilege to have such incredible people lead companies building the future.

such a silly take. the state of american manufacturing before ww2 was a mess. the curse of reading a bunch of history is that few others have. just watch the USA over the next 5, 10 and 15 years. the empire hasn’t even started yet

I’m sorry but America did not spend 250 years turning “what’s over there?” into the most powerful civilization on earth just to finally arrive at the most consequential technological frontier in generations and decide actually we’re scared of frontiers now. We ARE the fucking frontier. We cross oceans. We build railroads across continents. We split atoms. We put men on the moon. We turn sand into computers and computers into a global nervous system.
Of COURSE AI is terrifying. The frontier is SUPPOSED to scare the shit out of you. That’s how you know you have, in fact, located the fucking frontier.
The answer is not recklessness, but it sure as fuck isn’t paralysis either. America’s comparative advantage is an unusually high national tolerance for ambitious weirdos staring at impossible things and saying “Yeah... I think I can build it.” That trait is rarer than oil, harder to manufacture than semiconductors, and responsible for a frankly preposterous amount of the modern world.
And you absolutely will not fucking regulate it out of us.

The degree to which the US Military is like the last remaining functioning institution in the Western World is something that is very comforting and very worrying all at once.

I do not support pacing frontier models. If I am going to die at the hands of killer AI, I want it to be American, not Chinese. Buy American, Die American.

If I were to tell the story of 9/11, it would be about these men. The core of America.
As long as men like this endure, America endures
Some FDNY firemen who have been working at the World Trade Center site since this morning are rotated back to their firehouses to recuperate.
What remains of the 1st Battalion, the first crew on the scene, staggers in, covered in dust, crying, and physically shaking.
Several men vomit a thick chalky substance - a pulverized building, and everything and everyone in it.
A few try to return immediately to the site, but they’re held back. Others are laying on the ground, staring into space, unable to comprehend the horrors they have just seen.
Jules and Gideon Naudet, two French filmmakers who captured incredible footage of the attacks this morning, tearfully reunite - each of them thought the other was dead.

Even before the 9/11 attacks, Col. Richard "Rick" Rescorla was a decorated war hero with a Silver Star from his actions in Vietnam.
25 years ago today, Rescorla saved 2,687 people and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Here’s how it happened. 🧵

This is like seeing a picture of men in the D Day boats or an old picture of a civil war regiment and later reading that most of them died in in battle.
Most of the men in this clip never made it down. These were their final moments. This is our future’s link to history.

the way I conceived of a 24 year old banker saving his colleagues from a burning building back when it happened, when I was still in high school, was these were adults. looking back now, so many of them were so, so young. they just started.
