Moments ago, a large explosion rocked eastern Tehran, followed by a prolonged exchange of gunfire. The Iranian regime and the IRGC are losing control tonight. Free Iran! Javid Shah!

Decades ago, a nine-year-old American boy lay beside his father, staring at a place name on the globe that his father kept pointing to: Shangrao, Jiangxi, China. His father told him, “The Chinese people there saved my life.” Decades later, on October 6, 2026, that boy has grown into a white-haired elderly man. Crossing oceans with his father’s last wish, he safely landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Next, he will travel to Shangrao, Jiangxi, setting foot on the “land of rebirth” his father once spoke of. The man is Thomas Marcia. His father, James Marcia, was the navigator of Aircraft No.14 in America’s Doolittle Raid of 1942. Travelling with Thomas are descendants of Robert Bourgeois, the bombardier of Aircraft No.13 from the same raid. 几十年前，一名9岁的美国男孩趴在父亲身边，盯着地球仪上那个被父亲反复指过的地名：中国江西上饶。父亲告诉他：“我的命，是那里的中国人救的。” 几十年后，2026年10月6日，男孩已成白发苍苍的老人，他带着父亲的遗愿飞越重洋，顺利抵达上海浦东国际机场。接下来，他将前往江西上饶，踏上那片父亲口中的“重生之地”。 老人名叫托马斯·马西亚。他的父亲詹姆斯·马西亚，是1942年美国“杜立特行动”中14号机的领航员。与马西亚同行的，还有同行动中13号机投弹手罗伯特·布尔乔斯的后人。 #China# #Jiangxi# #赣出新精彩#

Days ago, Trump showed Xi the Constitution. Today we honor Lin Zhao’s legacy: Imprisoned, tortured, and isolated, Lin Zhao still believed conscience belongs to God, not the state. Lin Zhao’s Christian faith made her resistance to Mao moral and spiritual: she held that no party can replace God and that the state has no right to destroy conscience. When injustice demands silence, will we speak? Call for Nominations: ChinaAid 2026 Lin Zhao Freedom Award Honors living Chinese advocates of civil society, rule of law, democracy, religious freedom, and nonviolent resistance. Nominate a fearless voice for freedom by November 9. Confidentiality is guaranteed.

Years ago, Bill Gates argued that heavy-duty electric @tesla_semi would "probably never" work. His reasoning was simple: batteries are just too heavy. To get more range, you need a bigger battery, which adds dead weight, demanding an even bigger battery in an endless loop 😱 The raw physics seemed to back him up: it takes roughly 40 kg of modern lithium-ion cells to match the energy stored in 1 kg of diesel. Bolt a massive pack onto a standard truck chassis, and you eat up so much payload capacity that you're left hauling little more than helium balloons 😱 Top Gear’s look inside the Nevada Gigafactory reveals the exact architectural shift that broke Gates’s loop: instead of hauling battery weight on top of a heavy truck frame, Tesla merged the two so the battery is the frame 🆒 Instead of bolting a standalone pack onto a traditional steel ladder chassis, the battery enclosure itself acts as a load-bearing structural member. Through an automated marriage process on the line, the pack and chassis lock together into a single rigid unit. That tight coupling eliminates redundant structural steel, shortens the wheelbase, and gives the rig a remarkably tight turning radius—wiping out hundreds of pounds of dead mass before the truck ever takes on cargo. Then there is the geometry of the pack itself—which looks nothing like an EV skateboard floor. Tesla stacked its chunky 4680 cells into a compact cube positioned directly behind the driver, threaded with an integrated cooling belt. Moving to a cube drastically slashes the pack’s surface-area-to-volume ratio. That means it holds onto heat dramatically better in sub-zero winter weather, cutting the parasitic energy normally wasted warming up cold cells. Thanks to that thermal advantage and low overall consumption, the 548 kWh Standard Range pack is actually smaller than the packs inside competing European electric rigs, yet hits equal or superior range. It also makes high-volume manufacturing remarkably plug-and-play. The 325-mile Standard Range model uses two battery enclosures side by side. To build the 500-mile Long Range truck, workers simply drop an identical third pack into the middle slot—jumping capacity to roughly 822 kWh without altering the chassis geometry or line tooling. Crucially, those range targets weren't random: they were reverse-engineered to match the maximum legal driving stints truckers can log before mandatory rest breaks in Europe and the US. Paired with high-power charging that adds a 60% charge in 30 minutes, charging happens entirely during mandated driver downtime rather than stealing productive road hours. Combining that low consumption with zero wasted downtime is what makes the commercial math pencil out. Consuming around 1.7 kWh per mile, the Semi runs at roughly $0.34 per mile on typical commercial power ($0.20/kWh) compared to $1.00 per mile for a 7 mpg diesel rig on $7/gallon fuel. Over 100,000 miles a year, that nets $65,000 in fuel savings alone, paying down the truck's premium in under five years. Gates was completely right about the physics of traditional trucks. He just assumed Tesla would build one like everybody else.

Hours ago, Tether froze approximately 39,273,713 USDT across 10 TRON addresses linked to Xinbi Guarantee新币担保. Following its freeze of 汇旺担保Huione-linked funds, this appears to mark another crackdown on illicit Telegram-based escrow platforms.

Years ago, I hired a killer Director of Finance and Ops. He was a hard charger, high potential guy. I was lucky to land him. But I also knew if I didn't show him career growth, he'd be gone in two years for something with more headroom. He ended up as COO and stayed for seven years. He grew with the company and was a huge part of our success. When you hire someone ambitious, be cautious about handing them the final title, full scope, and full team on day one. Bring them in as Director or VP. Increase their scope as they prove they're great. After a few years, a C-level title can be on the table. High-drive employees are up or out. They have options. Before you bring one on, you need to have a plan for where their career can go inside your company (and save the C-level titles for after they've proven themselves).

Years ago fishermen would fill the pool hall after a hard day’s work and there were dances in a community ballroom every weekend. Now abandoned packing sheds dot the Gulf coastline
