What will $TSLA stock be worth in 2035? I've developed a (free) calculator to play around with. quick-calculators.com/tesla?… I like to play it safe and not hype, so the defaults are set to a 2026ish proposition. It's fun to play around with. Try it out!

This will sound super crazy, but I see a path to SpaceX being worth orders of magnitude more than the current Earth economy

It's fascinating that everyone recognizes that the Simpsons hasn't been good for over 20 years, but new seasons keep getting funded even as viewership keeps sinking.

Obligatory training for bus drivers in Cariacica🇧🇷. Should we do this for every politician, decision maker and engineer who design our street?

There needs to be a Jungle Book 3. The village now has 5G and the chainsaws are coming for the jungle. The bear and panther are now dead because of encroachment. And older Mowgli makes a stand to save his former enemies, the snake and the tiger.

Trump just did an April Fools speech. He performed a speech to the nation but said nothing.

Does America have friends left? Except maybe some oil states in the Middle East?

This was a really good speech, but the free world will need to stand up together against the United States - if it cares about its former friend and its own security.
For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like. Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRBDT4mB/

Europe should stop thinking we can negotiate with the USA and take the pain of confronting the United States. I uploaded this two days ago but would obviously add that this is just a small part in what Europe needs to do now to confront Trump's imperialism. youtu.be/IyrbIFSykWM

I've had the same TV for 16 years now, and I still don't see a good reason why I would want to upgrade...

I'm seeing 50 foreigners and supposedly 140 locals are locked up in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) after testing positive on drugs - after a raid on a night club call The Lighthouse, which had a full house because it was closing down after the last party on Saturday. Quite remarkable. I'm hearing they're sleeping on the floor and embassies have not been informed yet. #HoChiMinhCity facebook.com/groups/29897363…

Wat heeft Wilders zich bewezen als een ongelofelijke nietsnut. Alleen maar protest en verder niks kunnen.

This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake. Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye. Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully documented and determined to build a life here. He started a family, became part of his community, and followed every rule. He was never accused, let alone convicted, of any crime. But as best we understand, he's now imprisoned because of a single clerical mistake made years ago. In 2015, Kasper and his wife, Savannah, missed filing one form, among the hundreds required on the complicated path to citizenship. Savannah had just suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child. In the painful days that followed, paperwork deadlines understandably slipped past unnoticed. Now, over a month after his arrest, Kasper remains locked in a detention facility notorious for cruelty, neglect, and abuse. Savannah—eight months pregnant, at high risk, and terrified—is desperately pleading for her husband's return. She and their children have no idea when or if they'll ever see him again, and she doesn't know if he'll be present for her child's birth. Every day brings another nightmare under the Trump administration. The actions of our government are evil. There's simply no other way to describe it. May God have mercy on us all for allowing this to happen.
