I'm looking for beta testers for RootSketch, a new site for preserving family history.
You upload old letters, journals, photos, and documents.
It transcribes them, keeps them organized, and helps turn them into life sketches of your ancestors.
It's free while we test.
Try it at rootsketch.com and tell me what works and what's confusing.
Reply or DM me if you're in!
Old family photos faded or crooked?
RootSketch cleans up every picture, and you can slide to see the before and after. Your original is always kept. For families in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and all family history fans.

Christian apologist Sam Shamoun sits down with Latter-day Logic and Gospel Guardian for a long, in depth debate.
Two members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and, in the description's words, "one of Christianity's most well-known apologists," going deep on doctrine.
They take on big questions.
Is there a Heavenly Mother? What does the Bible teach about the Trinity?
Does God the Father have a physical body? Can humans become gods?
They also compare the Godhead with the Trinity, creation from nothing with eternal matter, and theosis with exaltation.
The description calls it "a respectful but challenging discussion designed to encourage critical thinking and careful examination of Scripture."
Almost two hours of serious conversation:

TESLA: Fort Bend County, Texas, has now signed off on its local incentive package for Tesla’s proposed ~$10.1 billion Project Crystal Sun.
Combined with the earlier August reinvestment zone and the September unanimous Lamar CISD approval of the 10-year JETI school property tax limitation, the major local steps are complete.
TESLA: Today at 1 p.m. CT Fort Bend County commissioners will consider four agreements for Tesla’s proposed ~$10.1 billion vertically integrated solar cell and module manufacturing plant, Project Crystal Sun.
The agreements cover:
- Property Tax Abatement Agreement between Fort Bend County and Tesla located in Precinct 2, Reinvestment Zone No. 34. in a Precinct 2 reinvestment zone.
- Chapter 381 Economic Development Agreement between Fort Bend County, Texas and Tesla to encourage investment and job creation in Fort Bend County.
- Foreign Trade Zone Site Non-Objection and Payment in Lieu of Certain Taxes Agreement between Fort Bend County, Fort Bend County Drainage District, and Tesla, and authorize the County Judge to execute the Non-Objection. Fort Bend County payments under this Agreement would be deposited into the County General Fund and Fort Bend County Drainage payments would be deposited into the Drainage District Operating Account.
- True Up Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) Agreement between Fort Bend County and Tesla with all payments under this Agreement to be deposited into the County General Fund.
Lamar CISD already approved a related 10-year JETI school property tax limitation in September. The meeting was at 1 p.m. at the Fort Bend County Courthouse, 401 Jackson St., Richmond.

Pretty cool that Neuralink patients like Brad are now able to use cutting edge AI tools.
Imagine how much more time and effort making a video like this would be without his Neuralink:

Sydney Sweeney votes in California! 😆
BRILLIANT ad by the Prop 39 campaign. Common sense is on the ballot in this election—and not just in the governor's race.
YES on Voter ID!

A new study suggests one blood sign of ALS may show up years before diagnosis.
The marker is neurofilament light chain, or NfL, a protein released when nerve fibers are damaged.
Researchers from the US, Denmark and Switzerland compared stored blood samples from people in Denmark's EPIC study who later developed ALS with samples from matched controls.
Samples were collected up to 23 years before diagnosis.
NfL levels were elevated up to about 15 years before diagnosis, and the gap grew closer to diagnosis.
The researchers wrote that this suggests "a substantially longer presymptomatic phase … than generally appreciated."
It is not a diagnostic test. The team says "population-wide screening for NfL levels as an ALS screen is likely premature."
But it could help find at-risk people earlier for trials and prevention research.
My first ALS symptoms started around January 2018, and I was diagnosed late that year.
The study is in the Annals of Neurology. ALS News Today has the story:

Elon Musk took the stage at X Takeover at Giga Texas for a full conversation with Tesla Owners Silicon Valley.
The title: "What Comes Next for Humanity."
Elon walks out at about the 14 minute mark, in front of a crowd of more than 2,000 people.
He opens by looking back at how close Tesla came to not surviving in 2008 and again in 2018.
From there it covers what the description calls "AI abundance and existential risk" and "the next chapter of space exploration."
He talks about Starship, Optimus, chips and AI.
This was his third X Takeover in a row.

Walter Isaacson sits down with Elon Musk for the season debut of The Builders.
It is a wide ranging conversation about AI, robots and the future.
The title says it all: "Humans Won't Be in Control" when AI becomes smarter than us.
They talk about why AI must be truth seeking and curious, and how to make it safer for humanity.
Isaacson also asks about DOGE regrets and whether robots can pay down America's national debt.
Plus simulation theory, finding purpose in a world without jobs, and his legacy: Mars, energy and AI.
About 37 minutes, and worth every one.

Ellie in Space just posted a Neuralink panel she was part of with Tesla Owners Silicon Valley.
Her title: "Fewer Than 30 People Have Neuralink. I Interviewed One of Them."
She is joined by Jake, a Neuralink participant with ALS, and Ryan, who has covered Neuralink on YouTube for about six years.
Jake talks about getting his implant in June 2025 and how it helps him communicate and stay independent.
They also cover the trials and where this technology is heading.
I am one of those fewer than 30. I am Neuralink patient 3.
