“Everything has an expiration date.”, is a line from one of my favorite movies from my college days. I've been away from Discord for a while because of my obligations. When I went on tonight, I found some of my servers closed. “You can't ever go back home”, hit a little too close to home today.

If life is a sim and you can give the system a prompt before it restarts, what would it be? Mine would be, “Can my parents love me too?” #EstrangedAdultChild #AsianParentStories

I guess I’m not the only one who likes government cheese; I grew up poor and enjoyed the cheese I was given from time to time.

Anthropic: "Look, we need the contracts, but we cannot allow our service to be used to violate the US Constitution or power automated weapons that could kill millions. When it comes down to it, we love this country too much to be involved in its downfall." OpenAI: "We'll do it!"

My ADHD has been running crazy lately. Too many balls in the air, too many options. I'm constantly telling myself to slow down and focus on what I can be impactful on. There is only so much a person can do, and I use that to keep myself focused.

I'm not okay. I'll always be broken inside. Just holding it together so I can be there for my family. I just want to raise my kids to be happy, good, kind people. Then I can peacefully fade away.

The Aquarium of the Pacific is one of the few places in California equipped to rehabilitate injured sea turtles. With growing demand, they just expanded their program. Read more: lbpost.com/news/long-be...

Putin puppet Chump is weakening the United States by breaking our bonds with our longstanding allies. The goal is to destroy NATO. But that won’t happen. NATO will stand strong against the United States, which will plummet into the abyss that Putin created.

When you are at a Luau, it feels like families are sharing a meal together. You eat along side of but not with them. Enjoying a show and meal in the same party gives you the illusion that you are. That’s modern life. And it’s isolating us. I miss and long for real connections with others.

Is it too early to say, “free Venezuela?”

@jaketapper.bsky.social just told the truth out loud on live TV. He brought the receipts showed Jan. 6 rioters attacking police, then reminded Kristi Noem that Trump pardoned them all. #BlueCrew 💙 #TruthWarriors #Accountability #ProtectDemocracy

Using AI for taxes could be the canary in the coal mine for major economic disruptions, says RAND's Carter Price. "Until people can trust AI to do their taxes, they shouldn’t trust it to do their jobs. That gives us a little time to prepare—but not much."

I believe that if ownership and industries are modeled after the way Samoan customary land is managed, it could provide a solution to the problems of colonization and disadvantaged peoples. We need more group ownership of businesses and homes.

The work being done by reporters from @startribune.com shows the importance of local journalism.

I will be Honest. The current regime is more likely to do it to Zelensky than Putin.

“Europe must now fight to save Ukraine and itself as bravely as Ukraine has been fighting to save itself and Europe for a decade. The resources are there, but the courage is not. STOP pretending Trump will ever turn on Putin and face reality and fight.” - Garry Kasparov

Miss Piggy FTW

I believe in protecting children and that pedophiles have no room in civil society. Vote blue and release the Epstein/Trump files. Stop defending the demons who walk among us.

Californication is the new Brusselization.

One of the cruellest and most devastating diseases – Huntington's – has been successfully treated for the first time, say doctors. An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Putin, Trump's idol, did this to this doctor:

Gave up on the idea of moving to #Hawaii. I love Hawaii and will continue to visit. But I don't belong there.

The quality of "experts" today is horrible. I've been attending meetings about AI to learn from other people. The skills of most of the speakers can be gained in ten minutes by googling the topic, which they then try to sell as services. I guess everyone wants to be a Robert Kiyosaki.

Gave up on my dream of moving to Hawaii. There isn’t much need for someone with my skill set. I can find work. But my presence will make things worse for the locals. Sad, because I wish there was a positive way I can fit into their ecosystem, like teach tech to kids on Maui or Hawaii island.

I'm a bit tired of people trying to sell me crypto investment services/strategies. If what you have is so valuable, why don't you use it to make yourself rich and leave us poor plebs alone?

I’m not a Newsom fan, but I’ll give him this one. It’s hard to believe any company doesn’t want access to the fifth largest world economy.

Beautiful performance from #Okinawa celebrating #women. youtu.be/I9u0BX8fzQA?...

I’m decently successful. That means I have a handful of really successful friends in network. Reading their stories is very inspirational. But I’m also mindful that for every winner, there are a lot of losers. How many people will be inspired to take a risk they couldn’t afford?

Has anyone tried Prefer coffee (without the bean)? How is it?

Facebook/Meta sells sex and is a sexual predator to kids.

“Is there anything - ANYTHING - Big Tech won’t do for a quick buck?” Hawley wrote in a post on X announcing the investigation.

Why is it that I can't find any fraternal orders that are not ritual-based and don't require the belief in a supreme being? I believe in God, but that's personal. I'm seeking a social club that is reason and science-based.

I was watching a video about why Reason Phylicia was having career problems. Basically, she’s too strong and sophisticated. For me, she helps define what an ideal woman is. We need more performance like hers, not less.

I was reading up on local news and found out about an amazing non-profit in my town, Pathways to Independence. I'm hoping to find something like it that focuses on helping people get into IT.

Last full day on Hawaii (Big) Island. My wife is a teacher, so it'll be impossible for us to move. But it's fun dreaming about how amazing moving here will be. I love not feeling nickel and dimed all the time.

Found my dream home and it comes with a business. Would be nice to be an inn keeper growing coffee. redf.in/tTNnQA

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

It’s not just hypocrisy, it’s cruelty as Indigenous people are targeted and detained by Trump's immigration enforcement agents every day. buff.ly/8iTfrZq

I'm a big believer that the modern lifestyle is too busy, which makes us less social. With work from home, we saw a huge growth in social clubs and coworking offices that encouraged building relationships outside of our jobs. It is sad to see that trend reversed because of RTO.

I'm American. Supporting Bitcoin is undermining the dollar and its "exorbitant privilege." Supporting Bitcoin is Anti-America.

If I win the lottery, I’ll become a farmer playing with experimental growing techniques. My goal would be to help try to feed the world. Spend all my time trying to solve real problems, so I don't waste it listening to the news.

I’m doing a little experiment. Any advice from anyone is welcome. I aim to create a system to use AI tools as a free personal tutor. Claude seems to work, but I hit the token limit. I’m starting to play with Gemini, but it thinks it’s a poor choice. Wish me luck.

Tech is back on welfare; R&D expensing provision restored in full. A lot of the tech layoffs were a result of us going off welfare. We are going back on it again. Now that we know how much it hurts, hopefully, we have more sympathy for those who are more directly supported by the government.

Finland switched on the world’s biggest sand battery. It holds 2,000 tons of crushed soapstone inside a 15-meter-wide insulated silo. From storage to recovery, only about 10% to 15% of the heat is lost, techcrunch.com/2025/06/16/f...

This article is...quite wild. It suggests that the entire public premise for Israeli (and American) strikes on Iran is false, and a product of Netanyahu seeing a weakened Iran and deciding to strike (and interpreting murky intel in a very particular way to effectuate that).
