All you need to know about Neuralink's Telepathy update [Mashable] look, Neuralink is amazing and may bring back eyesight to people. Unfortunately, Elon Musk uses the technology for insider-trading utilizing loopholes, and that’s no bueno. Instead of just getting himself rich, he should get everybody rich, which he was supposed to do, by bringing DOGE to the Moon. Literally. He was supposed to send a rocket ship to the Moon with a DOGE crypto coin.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, July 14th, 2025. I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. Mine wasn’t that great. Anyway, it’s 14 Juillet, therefore the Parade in France is probably either that day or the day before on Sunday. Roads will be closed. I suggest the French do NOT get rowdy the same fashion as they did when they won the Champions League a few weeks ago. If PSG wins the FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP, don’t destroy businesses and public places. Behave, please. There’s no need to burn everything, just have a normal celebration. Every time you guys do that, white people in France start saying racist shit towards Minorities in France. The Front National / Rassemblement National (RN) says “see? they are a bunch of scary thugs!” And all that does, is send more votes to the RN instead of helping the Left, La Gauche. Do not forget that the Presidential Elections are in 2027, which is about 2 years away. Don’t throw everything away, we need a new President from la Gauche, whether it’s François Hollande, his wife Segolène Royal, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, or someone else.
