Dear fellow American Christians: Do NOT call yourself "pro-life" if you have not vigorously objected to the slaughter of nearly 40,000 civilians in Gaza with our weapons, money, and political support. "Pro-life" does not just mean in the womb. Don't be a hypocrite!

One of our most important civic obligations is participating in the political process and deciding whom to vote for in our upcoming presidential election. By now everyone seems to think that this election is a two-horse race, and many have complained about the options. I think all of us need to consider another viable option, that is @RobertKennedyJr. He is only viable if we consider him as the act of including him for consideration is what makes him a viable alternative. I have not decided whether or not I will vote for RFK, but I have spent considerable time with him over the last few months and believe that he is both a viable candidate and one worthy of serious consideration. In order to be able to consider RFK, you need to put aside what you have read about RFK or ‘heard’ about him, and rather listen to what he has actually said and read what he has actually written. If you do so, I think you will be intrigued. This is not to say that you will agree with all of his policies, but you won’t agree with all of @POTUS Biden’s or @realDonaldTrump’s either. I have decided that I am not going to vote for Biden for various reasons which I will enumerate at another time, but I am seriously considering @RFK and @realDonaldTrump. None of us need to make a decision now, but we should carefully study the alternatives so when the election comes, we can make an educated decision. I have a favorable impression of RFK based on the hours that we have spent together and his willingness to take on controversial views even when any campaign adviser would advise him to not go there. One of the most important qualities for a president in my opinion is a willingness to make decisions based on principles regardless of what the polls might say. RFK has shown time and again that he is willing to do so. This is a mark of strong character in my view. To get to know him better, watch this mini-doc on his life. I think you will find it interesting and enjoyable to watch. We cannot rely on the media to tell us whom to vote for. The media have their own agenda and in my experience that agenda is not always aligned and perhaps often not aligned with what is best for our country. We owe it to ourselves and our country to listen, learn and judge. I trust the wisdom of the American people to get this right, but only if we take the time to do our research.
Not this being casually dropped tonight… This is single handedly the best video I’ve ever watched. It’s authentic. It’s real. It’s loving. It’s motivating. It’s funny. It’s our next President of the United States 🇺🇸

Don't pair your phone with your car. Federal judges are upholding rulings that car manufacturers are NOT violating privacy laws by using vehicles' on-board infotainment systems to record & intercept customers' text messages and mobile phone call logs. therecord.media/class-action…

This is Claus-Henning Schulke. The 57-year old German is a civil engineer but — once a year — he morphs into an athletic legend. How? Schulke bikes around the Berlin Marathon course and is the dude who keeps Kenyan super-marathoner Eliud Kipchoge hydrated. Last year, he played a part in Kipchoge’s record-breaking marathon time of 2:01:09. Per the LA Times, Schulke is an accomplished triathlete, having finished 6x Ironman events. How did he get in with Kipchoge? While other major marathon events let top runners grab water off of tables, Berlin pairs the best marathoners with a volunteer (who hand them bottles). They first teamed up in 2017 and Kipchoge — the greatest marathoner ever — requested for Schulke in the following years. After setting the marathon record of 2:01:39 in 2018, he signed his running bib and gave it to Schulke. It read: “Dear Claus: Without you, I would not have managed to run this world record.” Kipchoge has also called Schulke a “hero” for his efforts. The rest of the world calls him one of the most glorious nicknames ever: “Bottle Claus”.

A hypothetical tech company with $30 billion in sales and 10,000 employees in San Francisco would pay 20 times more in local business taxes than if it were located in Mountain View, 200 times more than in San Jose and 1,300 times more than in Sunnyvale. sfstandard.com/2023/07/12/sa…

With the crisis averted, you really have to tip your hat to the government. In 3 days they went end to end on resolving a massive private sector crisis. The urgency on tech Twitter this weekend was warranted, but the repeated insinuation that the government is dumb, slow and filled with untalented people was not. I went to law school with many of these people and they are hands down some of the smartest people I know. Hopefully a silver lining of this crisis is we start to give each other more benefit of the doubt and have patience. We are more alike than we are different.

Silicon Valley Bank’s shareholders and executives lose it all, as they should. Depositors in good faith, however, should recover and have access to their deposits in order to meet their payrolls, pay their suppliers, and to prevent contagion.

Great example of MC-IoT use case... This defect detector along the wayside is one of many applications highlighted within the #dot16 working group... there is an obvious opportunity to deploy sensors in many new locations, these sensors require wireless networks to be useful.
Officials say an axle on a rail car over­heated, caus­ing dozens of cars to de­rail and some of them to catch fire. Surveillance video shows sparks un­der the train miles be­fore the ac­ci­dent. $ONDS IoT MC sensor monitoring are part of a solution. ondas.com/ondas-fullmax-mc-i…

Although this data is for K-12 public schools, we see the same thing in public universities. The rise of administrators, who do not bring in revenue through teaching or research, has become so large as to drain the institutions of funds. This includes DEI initiatives. #DEI
