It is INSANE listening to eggheads lambast the first piece of beautiful, Faustian, transcendent art I have seen crafted in my ENTIRE LIFETIME.
I never studied sculpture and form so I don’t know whether the statue should be 7 or 8 or 11 heads tall, but the imago dei in me screams out that this statue is Good.
And who among you art critics has contributed ANYTHING to make our world as beautiful as Missor? Not one. The peanut gallery of Last Men has never seemed as petulant and reprehensible

Rainmaker has raised $100M to become the world’s best lab for weather modification and atmospheric science.
Thank you @noavctech @upfrontvc @DCVC @lowercarbon @DreamVenturesVC and other visionary partners.
We are aggressively hiring and scaling our research org to create a flywheel of atmospheric data collection, synthesis, understanding, and intervention.
We will solve the weather and we will set the stage for the terraformation of Earth.

Rainmaker’s research team has developed a new capability that we are excited to share:
Clearing overcast skies in specific meteorological regimes.
This will improve aviation safety, solar power generation and more. White paper here:

Some people grokked what Rainmaker was up to sooner than others
Biggest pre-seed angel checks I've written:
- Rainmaker
- Valar Atomics
- Actinide
The drought is over.
Americans are making things again.
Just so 100M+ hard-working and politically isolated Americans know, there’s an entire ecosystem of VCs and builders who respect, prefer, and favor flyover America (we’re proud to call you fellow countrymen). We’re not ivory tower tech elitists confined to the limited and narrow opinions of several metropolitan bubbles.
Below are patriots who proudly support and respect you, your rights, your beliefs, and your lifestyles.
I’m hoping each of these people name ten others they know who champion similar characteristics.
Let’s highlight the “other” (this) side so flyover America knows everyone who’s got their back.

So cool
This week, @ActinideInc became the first startup in history to enrich uranium, producing HALEU, the fuel for next-gen and small modular reactors.
We did it using Endurance, a particle accelerator that we designed and built in Texas.
Endurance usually produces enriched Yb-176, a precursor for cancer therapies worth roughly $30,000 per gram.
After a bulk Yb-176 delivery on July 30, we reconfigured Endurance for uranium.

BREAKING: @RainmakerCorp, the cloud-seeding technology firm, says it has developed biodegradable cloud-seeding materials that outperform traditional silver iodide on a per-particle basis.
The company says the materials are naturally found in soils across the U.S.

The 19 million gallons of water we generated in three hours was spread over approximately 96.5 square miles.
Someone on the ground would have experienced a light to moderate drizzle.
Over multiple operations, these types of additional rain and snow events have a meaningful impact in restoring ecosystems. But in the short term there is no way that this technology can start flooding or extreme weather.

@RainmakerCorp @ADoricko @ksrmam "Fractions of an inch", but you say you produced 19 million Gallons and it dumped buckets from the Kenai Peninsula to the Mat-su Valley...
I am pleased to announce that Rainmaker have been mailed its first fecal matter by our passionate followers
May the capability, grace, and aspirations of the best of mankind even pull the spiteful troglodytes into an abundant future

Fourteen months before he established cloud seeding as a viable industry, @adoricko presented at @deeptechweek and explained the metrics and methods by which precipitation is induced via drones and verified via radar

OOOOOKAY actually done for the day now
My final message:
Logging off for the day to plan our newest cloud seeding program in the Southwest
Rainmaker century
Hey please don’t ever mention my company again you avaricious thieves
JUST IN: Weather-tech startup Rainmaker reveals its drones successfully boosted precipitation in Alaska by releasing particles into clouds.
People who know nothing about science will feed you conspiracy slop about this
The geniuses I know in tech who love God and America want to create abundance and be guardians of this planet instead of sitting on their hands as disasters happen
I know which side I'm on
