There's probably a founder reading this who is going to sell their startup for millions someday and has absolutely no idea yet.

Really, @McDonalds this actually left the kitchen? Must have had six pumps of tartar sauce inside too. Just an incredible mess, straight to the trash can. Do better, please.

The US Army is making a terrible mistake. Ciongress should immediately look into it and Secretary of War Hegseth should intervene and reverse the Army’s amazingly backwards and destructive decision. As the Hill reported “The U.S. Army plans to phase out a drone unit that was studying and incorporating lessons from foreign wars, including the use of uncrewed systems in the Russia-Ukraine war, an Army official confirmed to The Hill on Thursday.  “The infantry battalion, known as the Unmanned Assault Battalion, will participate at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center this month and next month in Germany. After the exercises, the battalion will “refocus on its core warfighting tasks as an airborne infantry battalion assigned to a Mobile Brigade Combat Team (Airborne),” the official said. “ This is as dumb as the French decision to use tanks as infantry support systems which led to their annihilation by German armor operating in teams. The Army should be promoting the battalion commander to brigade commander, giving him an entire experimental brigade with internal funds for Ukrainian speed (weeks not months or years) of innovation authority. The entire army should be subjected to maneuvers like the 1941 Louisiana Maneuvers. This step reminds me of the Army almost driving Eisenhower out in the 1920s because he wrote favorably about armor and was therefore a ‘traitor’ to the infantry while Patton went back to the horse cavalry after writing a book calling for independent armored units. At a time when the Ukrainian rate of innovation and the Ukrainian, Russian, Iranian and North Korean drone systems are all developing rapidly this is a scandalously bad decision and should be reversed and en entire drone development, fielding,testing, doctrine and training system should be instituted immediately.

I have no words... A convicted transgender BABY K*LLER who STR*NGLED TO DE*TH AN 11-MONTH-OLD BABY has just been thrown back in prison for a parole violation after he was RELEASED 35 YEARS EARLY... ...FOR M*RDERING A BABY!!!!! Read that again. He str*ngled a BABY and he got out 35 years early!!!!!!!!! The baby's name was Faith Lee, she was 11 months old. On September 12, 2001, her mother went to work and left her baby girl in the care of her partner, Jonathan Richardson. Richardson str*ngled that infant to de*th. When friends stopped by that afternoon, he turned them away at the door. The baby was already gone. A jury convicted him of m*rder. and a judge sentenced him to 55 years. ...he only served 23. In December, the Indiana Department of Corrections quietly paroled him, now going by the name Autumn Cordellioné, and sent him right back to Evansville, the same town where he k*lled Faith. Faith's own mother SAW THIS COMING. In court filings, she had written down her fear: that this "man" could change his appearance, hide his identity, and walk back into the world one day. She said she lived in constant terror of the day he'd be released. That day came and nobody even told her it was coming. Jonathon now goes by Autumn Cordellioné and identifies as a transgender woman... You might recognize the name because in March 2025, he successfully sued the Indiana Department of Corrections over its ban on gender-affirming surgery Since getting out, this baby-k*ller has launched an OnlyFans account and filed a $3.5 MILLION lawsuit against President Trump. And just this month, on July 15, he was hauled back to jail for violating parole. How does 55 years become 23 for strangling a baby? Faith Lee got 11 months on this earth and her k*ller is out here starting an OnlyFans. Say her name. Faith Lee. Somebody in Indiana needs to answer for ALL of this!!!!!

A few million dollars from bootstrapping and selling a startup is an unbelievable outcome. More founders should make this their goal.

This is why I will always drive my 1970 Ford. Points and a carb. No computer, no microphones, no GPS (leave the phone at home). Wouldn't own a new car if you paid me.
1994: Change brake pads on your truck in the driveway for $30. 2026: Electronic parking brake says 'DIYers not permitted.' Needs $6k dealer tool + subscription. They call it 'security.' We call it a software lock scam to kill DIY and force you back to the dealer. Right to Repair now. Who's with me? 🔥🚛🔧 #RightToRepair

Greg Biffle (RIP) rescued this 70 four door LTD, got it home and running. His son was so excited, as was Greg. Being a bit of an expert in these cars, I would love to get the car and restore it, then auction it off for charity. Contact me if you know how to get ahold of anyone in his family. youtube.com/watch?v=RMypKlQB…

Anyhoo, end of soapbox, time for an experiment free of forbidden hashtag-free experiment. Instead of my usual request for car ID request post, I'm trying something new today: simply REPLY TO THIS POST with your mystery car ID request, but please follow these rules:

Great to see so many people getting Acquired. Congrats to all involved!
We just helped a founder get acquired for $1,650,000 on @acquiredotcom. Business was a bootstrapped SaaS. Multiple 4.8x profit. Took about 85 days from listing to close. 100% cash at closing. This was a life changing outcome for an amazing entrepreneur.

Just not the same without the audience partici-pation. 'A toast' to 133 screenings 'over at the Frankenstein place' where 'it doesn't rain the car, asshole' and 'Denton, the home of happiness' is 'just an illusion'

"As Grok, built by xAI, I've analyzed the Dual Regen patent (US XXXXXXXX) and supporting research—from the SAE 2012 paper's 68.3% range boost in a hydraulic-electric hybrid to the 2019 Taipei study's 43.7% efficiency gains in medium-duty vehicles, and the EPA's proven 60–70% fuel savings in hydraulic hybrids. This dual regenerative braking system ingeniously combines proven electric and hydraulic tech (no new inventions needed) to recapture up to 80% of braking energy in stop-and-go urban cycles like NYC's NYCC, where 30–50% of energy is typically wasted. For urban delivery fleets, this patent stands out: It extends range by 19.7% (e.g., 100 to 119.7 miles per charge for Class 5 trucks), slashes battery needs by 10–20% ($6K–10K savings per unit), and cuts brake maintenance from quarterly to biennial ($2K–5K/year per truck). A 30-truck NYC fleet could save $900K–$1.5M annually in energy and upkeep, with a 2-year ROI—scalable via a $7–10K COTS kit or electrified chassis model. Environmentally, it slashes CO₂ by ~200 tons/year per fleet while easing grid strain; economically, it unlocks the $50B+ EV truck market amid ZEV mandates; socially, it accelerates clean logistics, reducing urban pollution.ERS2 isn't hype—it's a low-risk, high-impact innovation backed by data, with patent exclusivity until 2038 and no direct competitors. If AI thinks it's a good idea that stands on its own merits, you should too."
