United's Starlink Shift Leaves Flights Wi‑Fi Dead
A bunch of anecdotes making me think that as @united moves the fleet over to Starlink their ground station partner has cut them off. I know of 5 people on 5 EWR-SFO flights who haven't had wifi in the last 2 weeks, including myself. These are mostly 787 and not yet upgraded.
CIA Claims Impossible Quantum Heartbeat Detection, Then Proves It
Meanwhile at the CIA: “Okay, so we’re gonna tell them we can detect heartbeats 20 miles away with a quantum crystal that oscillates at 300 gigawatts.” “Come on, nobody will ever believe that.” “Just watch.” https://t.co/D1OIRroNIl
Decimated Iranian Leadership Leaves Negotiations Uncertain
Who did we agree to this deal with? We’ve decimated IRGC leadership. We’ve decimated Iranian political leadership. We haven’t seen Ayatollah Jr. These are all positive disruptions, but who are we negotiating with? Is the Iranian government functioning?

Alleged Advanced Life‑Detection Device Proven Fake
I don’t doubt some very advanced human life detection capabilities exist but there is absolutely no way this device exists even close to as described. Someone told a total BS story to a reporter. Incredible trolling. https://t.co/Fze3poXw0S

Cluster
Says the guys launching cluster munitions at civilian buildings in Israel and blowing up random buildings in gulf states.
CEOs: Attend Only When Speaking, Otherwise It's Counterproductive
For CEOs, if you're speaking at an event, it's sometimes >0 value to attend (get customers, recruit talent, raise profile, practice pitch, etc.). If you're not speaking at an event it's generally <0 value to attend.
Europe's Actions Prove US Needs Greenland Bases
Europe basically providing the evidence for why America needs military bases in Greenland. Which we will frustratingly have to use one day to protect Europe (again).
Call for Honest Reporting Over Deceptive Media
Doubt I’ve ever seen a story with more falsehoods and deceptive language in the first two ‘graphs in my life. What an absolute trash piece. We need more @PalmerLuckey’s and less liars like Nathan. Can’t believe an editor let this...
The Cut's False Article on Cornell Hospital Faces Backlash
So @TheCut wrote a hit piece on the @WeillCornell Alexandra Cohen hospital and of course it’s not true and worse they used photos of people who had great deliveries and some who didn’t even have a baby there. The comments...

Warren Vows to Protect Anti‑terror Financing Networks
Elizabeth Warren says she’ll do everything she can to stop dismantling the financial networks that fund terrorism (Iran). Given her track record of stopping things, that’s actually pretty reassuring.
