“just fuckin fight everyone at once lol” – Sun Tzu

Richmond has to be weather. Otherwise, yiyiiii

The state of the world is retribution over “you can’t do that back to me.”

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has emailed staff urging those wishing to leave the country to depart "today”. He warns of likely high demand for flights from Ben Gurion Airport and stresses the importance of a rapid exit. NYT has seen the email.

Come on @alanbeattie.bsky.social , don't mince words, tell us what you really think...

I hate the town square stuff regarding X so much because it’s not popular ideology gaining masses in an open forum. He bought the venue, and controls the lineup and signage everywhere. Twitter was a steal for $44B. He was worth $200B at the time. Now 4X.

It is genuinely hard to fathom how the USA, having claimed the complete obliteration of Iran's nuclear programme only last year, can declare it to be in the final stages of development now, until you recall the complicity of the US media, and the number of US voters who could not find Iran on a map.

“Look at this humanoid robot do backflips, the future is now” is quite reminiscent of people who talk about how they have a dozens of agents running producing thousands of lines of code but not explaining what exact value is being added lol.

Fascinating

We must get on algorithmic transparency acts and revoke aspects of section 230 when it comes to editorializing using said algorithm. For users to find interests on their own is very different than serving things to them.

You rinse dishes so you don’t have to wash them. Which is exactly what this goober ends up doing. I’d should be a fine to load dishwashers full of food.

This is not unusual, this is the norm, when we embrace the technology that is ready to deploy TODAY to improve the Air Quality and reduce Green House Gas emissions, those technologies always have additional benefits. With schools, time after time, it's better pay for teachers, more teachers...

I don't think people have really grappled with what the mass decline of violent crime in the US has meant for the economic ecosystem of superheroes, which is rapidly approaching a demographic cliff, as street-level crimefighting becomes a thing of the past, and avenues for promotion dry up.

Border Patrol dump blind refugee 5 miles away from home—he was found dead on the street. Officers dropped him off in front of a donut shop—didn't notify his lawyer or family he was even released. When reported missing—local police said he was in ICE custody & stopped looking for him. Buffalo, NY

While tariffs on Chinese goods have fallen, the Trump administration has been pretty clear about its intention to restore import taxes using other legal authority.

Time is always a limitation for humans. There’s only so much we can prioritize with our focus. Using AI within a spreadsheet to do analysis that saves you time while juggling all else brings the user only more information to make decisions. It’s not outsourcing.

Tech predictions this decade: Crypto is going to take over the dollar Everyone is going to live in the metaverse NFTs are going to replace art DOGE is going to save the govt trillions I think it's totally fair to be skeptical about tech's AI forecasts

One thing that’s concerning about this (beyond the obvious) is that anything you dump this many billions of dollars into necessarily creates a massive and well-funded political constituency for its own perpetuation.

Means is another example of the trust trap.

Welcome to RETVRN of the Flatbed

Did not know the Panamanian authorities went in and said give us the keys with no transition. Whatever justifications, I do not see something so abrupt turning out well at all. www.freightwaves.com/news/panama-...

Probably a good time to loosen guardrails then.

Don’t worry friends, I am now foregoing breakfast because the 20G of protein packed into a cold foam atop my 2,000 calorie candy bar coffee drink is what fuels this body.

Dear friends in the UK, you pay for the BBC. These costs translate to about 2x your yearly fee, and will directly push up cost pressures. The BBC takes in only about $4B euro or half the amount in the suit in licensing revenue. Also more than would be paid in total tariffs in a year.

Hoping when I open this article it just says “you are loved. You are enough”

After seeing how tightly they pack these snowballs I’d also wear pads.

This should be a much bigger story. Kegseth is essentially saying he wants to use the Anthropic software to commit war crimes and will therefore not agree to be bound to well established US and international law rules. Outrageous.

CBP's only collecting 10% currently. Doesn't exist until it's updated in the register. What's missed is this nullifies all those bilateral agreements used to circumvent China with top trading partners like Vietnam, Thailand, and India. www.reuters.com/business/new...

Unreal situation

It’s becoming comical how much fast food places have become averse to using their counter while countless people try to order there every day. I haven’t been in one yet where someone isn’t pissed off just standing around the self-serve kiosks waiting for a person to come over.

Ruh roh.

Bewildering we just sit and accept this going on as Jared has no official role n in this administration. No one to answer to except Trump yet can set guidance on anything from warfare to diplomacy.

This guy sucks so much. May he fall to the shadows and not haunt the b-rolls again.

So much of the awful aesthetics and standards people put themselves through are fully catered around appeasing their own sex.

TFW we realize the stock market is a glob of human emotions, not reasoning. This same thing happened to transports a week ago because a karaoke company that pivoted to freight said it could do better.

Fascinating research on ai replacing roles. In the job market. My concern is how people look at the proportionality of people in roles and those roles impact in income and consumption. These all point to much higher disparity. A dynamic economy doesn’t sustain under that. labor.mattzieger.com

The Ro-Ro capacity that brings all of our land based equipment overseas is based in Europe. We also park subs there. There is zero chance we succeed, even against a lesser foe, if we do not have help from allies. We don’t have our own ships to carry, refuel, or mend anyone.

These consistent bluffs are exposing every weak spot in our arsenal. Just yesterday we all learned we have two hospital ships that aren’t even ready to deploy over a goofy Greenland trip. We also simply don’t have the lift capability to replenish supplies during any sustained conflict.

Let's be clearer on the 8 people who were killed: Mostly 12 and 13 year old kids.

Understated in any direct costs of the tariffs are the untold administrative costs in working around them to the write-offs and lost customers due to disputes in not wanting to pay themselves.

GOLDMAN DESK: “.. Citrini blog post: THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS already has 20 million views on X .. Whether you agree with the rationale .. or not it is impossible to deny the increasing impact that these types of blogs / thought pieces are having on the stock market.”

This article calculates the cybertruck has been 17x more likely to burn an occupant to death than a Pinto. That may be unfair. I’d phrase it as “at least 10x more likely.” There were five fatalities, but only three crashes resulting in fatalities. We don’t know average passenger load.

I resent the pivot to video so much. I do not want to become an "on air personality." I do not want to boil everything down into little pithy viral slogans. I don't want to worry about my f'ing hair. I hate it all. Hate it.

Also I love how it’s only after we get all this combat power in theatre and are on the verge of strikes that people are like, “er, maybe this isn’t such a good idea,” like:
