As a European, supporting Elon and X isn't always easy with the media constantly trashing him and X with their nonsense. Prepping my family Christmas dinner speech to set the record straight. Here are my notes for my fellow Europeans.- Most of you rely on legacy media and haven’t actually listened to a long-form conversation with Musk. If you had, you’d know he’s not the “creepy billionaire” you’ve been led to believe he is. He’s trying to understand the universe, the meaning of life, and what’s really going on. - Elon values truth and honesty. He strives to be as truthful as possible. If you stop listening to what the media says about him and start paying attention to what he actually says, you’ll see this too.- His bigger goal? Transitioning humanity into a multiplanetary civilization to extend the lifespan of consciousness. Why? To give us enough time to figure out the answers to the big questions.Now about X:- Free speech is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy. Open dialogue lets us share ideas, critique governments, and hold power accountable. X brought this back when it was slipping away faster than ever. It’s the single biggest recent contribution to democracy. How can you not agree with that?- “But people spread fake news on X!” --> COMMUNITY NOTES! It’s shocking how many people still don’t know about this. Community Notes is an open-sourced tool that adds context to potentially misleading posts. Notes are rated for helpfulness by contributors with diverse viewpoints, ensuring objectivity and broad agreement. No one is immune to it, not even Elon. It’s a proof point that X truly aspires to truth.- Community Notes is the most powerful tool to combat fake news on social media, a massive societal challenge. So why isn’t your friend Mark Zuckerberg rolling this out across all his platforms immediately? Or why isn't he open-sourcing the home feed algorithm like X did?A misunderstood innovator:- Say what you want about him, but Elon gets things done. He built the first successful reusable rockets with SpaceX, revolutionized electric vehicles with Tesla, and is pushing solar energy. People doubted him every step of the way, but he consistently delivered on what most thought was impossible.- He's motivated by challenges, not money: unlike most billionaires, Elon reinvests the majority of his wealth into solving problems like sustainable energy, space colonization, and AI safety. He doesn’t even live in a mansion, he rents a small house near SpaceX.Broader context:- The media hates him: Musk is a disruptor. Legacy institutions (media included) don’t like losing control, so they demonize him. The backlash against Musk is a reflection of these power struggles.- X challenges monopolies: Social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok operate as monopolies with little pushback. X is forcing them to innovate or become obsolete.- Cultural shifts: X represents a shift away from performative “safe” spaces to real, open conversations. That’s uncomfortable for some but necessary for progress.Enjoy your Christmas dinners! :)

Indian culture resonates globally! Wherever I go, I see immense enthusiasm towards our history and culture, which is extremely gladdening. Here is a glimpse…

Ensuring the whole world sees every nook and corner of Bharat, one iconic site at a time! In a huge boost for Bharat’s tourism sector, our govt led by PM Shri @narendramodi has today approved 40 projects across 23 states under the Special Assistance to States/Union Territories for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme, to develop iconic tourist centers to global standards. These projects, worth ₹3,295.76 crore will foster local economies and create employment through sustainable tourism. From decongesting popular sites, integrating advanced technologies, promoting sustainable practices, to encouraging public-private partnerships to enhance infrastructure and visitor experiences, a host of measures will be undertaken to ensure a world-class experience for everyone who wishes to soak in Bharat’s natural, cultural and historic grandeur.

In Thailand, the cultural norm is for one woman to pair with several men, unlike my previous experiences of a mixed-gender scenario. This unique custom amazed me and added even more heat to the party atmosphere 🔥.In the afternoon, my boyfriend and I warmed up in a steamy mud bath, which was just the beginning of our excitement! 💦 Later, we enjoyed a delicious traditional Thai dinner 🍽️ with new friends, building up anticipation for the evening's festivities.As night fell, we entered a bustling nightclub, filled with eager anticipation and excitement ✨. After returning to the hotel, my stunning Thai husband stirred up a storm in the bathroom! The clash of water and passion intertwined, and the entire scene quickly reached its peak 🔥.Faced with his incredible performance, I was absolutely amazed! His physique and stamina were unmatched, allowing me to feel sensations I had never experienced before.😍 As I immersed myself fully, the other eight spectators quietly watched, the atmosphere thick with anticipation and thrill, as if the whole world was cheering us on 💪.Every interaction in this "Multi-Sport World Championship" was filled with surprises and joy, making me smile and radiate happiness 😊. This experience deepened my yearning for Thailand's warmth and freedom, a place where you can let go of constraints and fully enjoy life!Every moment at the party made me appreciate the boundary-less nature of intimacy and the indescribable thrill of the unknown 🌏. The clash of cultural differences and the delightful interactions were priceless memories that money cannot buy.Want to know more details? You’ll find it all in my video! 📽️ Let’s chase that irresistible passion and adventure together, so you too can feel Thailand's vibrant energy this summer!And by the way, fans want to know how many handsome men there were? He looks rival that of YT Chau Yan Ting; he is incredibly captivating! 😂

The ending for Oshi no ko I Wanted... 😭😭#anime# #OshiNoKo#

you don’t fix the declining birth rate with subsidies or financial incentives. the “kids are too expensive” argument is a convenient cope. people claiming they can’t afford children are usually rationalizing deeper issues: they just don’t want them. having children is as expensive as you choose to make it, and for all of human history, people with far fewer resources managed to raise families.the problem isn’t financial; it’s cultural. we live in a society that has systematically psyopped and brainwashed people into believing children are a burden, not a blessing. women are told that motherhood is a sacrifice and a hindrance to their career, as if chasing corporate promotions or vanity metrics is more meaningful than creating life. men are infantilized and taught to fear responsibility. worst of all, we’ve cultivated a nihilistic worldview that makes people see no point in building a future.the solution starts with changing the culture. we need to instill pride in people: pride in their ancestry, their legacy, and the future they could create. optimism about what’s to come has to replace the relentless doomscrolling of modernity. kids aren’t just an "expense"; they’re the greatest investment a human can make, and we need to start celebrating that.in the short term, the most realistic strategy is doubling down on those who already value family. focus on motivating families with 2-3 kids to have one or two more. it's much easier to expand a family than to convince couples to start from scratch when they've been ideologically poisoned against the idea.finally, we need to stop glorifying the miserable, atomized single life and the media narratives that turn parenthood into a joke or tragedy. yes, parenting is hard, but everything worth doing is. the joy and purpose it gives far outweigh the sacrifices. once we get that cultural shift rolling, the financial complaints will fade away like the convenient excuses they always were
