Four hours after the hero's name was released

BBC News still calling him 'member of the public'

His name is Ahmed el Ahmed
He's a Muslim
How many Jewish lives did his heroism save?

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

The most beautiful clouds I have ever seen 🌥

🔥 Busan, South Korea just witnessed a sky that looked straight out of a myth! 🇰🇷✨

This unbelievable cloud formation exploded above the coastline at sunset, fanning out like a fiery phoenix rising over the city.
The most beautiful clouds I have ever seen 🌥 🔥 Busan, South Korea just witnessed a sky that looked straight out of a myth! 🇰🇷✨ This unbelievable cloud formation exploded above the coastline at sunset, fanning out like a fiery phoenix rising over the city. The colors, the shape, the timing — everything aligned for a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Perfectly framed by the rugged cliffs and twisted pines of Igidae Coastal Park, it felt less like weather and more like the sky painting its own masterpiece. Nature flexes… and sometimes it flexes hard. 🌅🔥

Musk's Grok was asked to verify if a tweet featuring a graphic image of the attack on the LNER train was real.

I'm not sharing the whole image but here is part of it and the text.

Several innocent people were stabbed by unknown attackers on a moving train in Cambridgeshire, UK Police arrested two suspects at the scene. The sad reality is, Britain is now less safe than many places people call "dangerous." Today, London feels more like Kabul than Uk

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
