My wife wasn’t as big a fan of Tesla as I am, until she saw the Roadster. Now she wants one, but only if she can get the rocket version to jump over the slow car in front of her. 🚀🏎️

LA people! We are going into another high wind weekend similar to January 2025. Which led to massive fires. Wind doesn’t cause fires. Be alert for… -People smoking cigarettes outside -Kids or idiots lighting fireworks -Homeless people cooking food -Food tents cooking illegal outside -Suspicious people walking along brush If you see something, call them out, call the cops, record them. If you’re too nervous to do it, tag me and I’ll make sure it’s handled. Do not let another fire catastrophe happen. We are not going to be protected (obviously) by the state or city.
#BrysonFire Aircraft Assisting. Air Attack 52, Helco Copter 76. Air Tankers 01, 160, Que Becs 1 & 2. LACoFD Copters 19, 20, 22, Helitankers 40, 47, 55. The Fire is 5 acres, moving downhill quick with Winds in the Area, with Structures still Threatened.

Please help spread the word. Someone in the audience can save Ben’s life and help him get to see his small children grow up. If you can help with medicine, introductions, or donations, please do:
Ben Wilson (@BenWilsonTweets) has stage 4 cancer and 4 kids under the age of 5. I want to help him as much as possible, so I invited him on the podcast to talk about his work studying history’s greatest leaders and what it’s like getting told he’s going to die at 38. He’s a good guy, a close friend, and one of my favorite podcasters. His work has benefited millions of people all across the world. Please watch this episode and see if you can help with medicine, introductions, or donations. 0:00 What Ben has learned from making How to Take Over the World and studying history’s greatest leaders. 55:51 Living like you're dying.

I hope everyone gets the experience of finding out who their true friends are and how much they really care. (Preferably without getting cancer.) Thank you to David, and to everyone who has been there for me over the last few months. I have been overwhelmed by the support.

Thousands of years from now when whatever species of creature inhabits this planet, their archeologists will excavate Douglass Park and find hundreds of shoes and wonder what epic battle or event happened on this sacred ground.

Hi @johnternus, just a recommendation that for the next @apple phone launch, have a line for trade-in and a line for pick-up at the store. As a pick-up person, my 3 to 3:15 reservation shouldn’t still have me in line at 3:30. Thank you from a customer since the original iPhone.
