@LauraPowellEsq Gavin is so cringe and not in a Trumpian crazy drunk fun uncle kinda way. More like the uncle your parents wouldn’t leave you alone with.

Everyone is commenting on how insane it is that he is embracing the psychopath image, but I haven’t seen anyone point out that he altered his photo so that he doesn’t have a pencil neck.
Gavin Newsom@GavinNewsom
For so many years people have been saying that Patrick Bateman and I look alike. Now this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?

Two great points. When I was a kid we walked to an open field and put down whatever we could find for bases and played baseball.

@karol I also think many parents are desperate to get their kids outside and off the Internet and video games and end up paying a ton to do it with sports as their escape vehicle.

@Connectionary Normally I side with the person that has to drive through a crowd surrounding their vehicle out of fear, but this girl had an easy egress path, ran over a curb and she was drunk.

I know this is nothing new but I’m still not used to paying this much for video games. $80 is wild. I could just get the $20 upgrade pack but wanted another copy for local multiplayer purposes.

AT&T ran fiber through my neighborhood and gave us huge discounts to switch from XFinity. No amount of discounts was worth the pain and suffering we are experiencing. Even worse, cell service is considerably worse.
DO NOT RECOMMEND

@webprofusion @kellabyte Only downside for me is it’s still sitting and staring at screens. I would do landscaping for half the money at this point.
English
As to what people would pay for, literally anything, especially if it's a remotely tricky topic, you can offer free and paid tiers.
I literally stick the text "unlicensed" on there and give it away, then some people want to become licensed, for various reasons.
A lot of people are accidental admins and don't really know how stuff works. That's the opportunity.

I’ve been a pro coder since I was 15. I’m exhausted from deadlines, pressure week after week. All the re-organizations. It takes a toll
I’ve been fighting burn out for a few years
All I know is coding and arch.
I think a lot about what kind of role or indy work I would thrive

Remarkable indeed. There is fraud in literally every other aspect of life but not in the most important of elections.
Nick Gillespie@nickgillespie
And yet, without photo ID, our elections have been remarkably fraud-free. This fixation on a non-problem is weird and wasteful.

Idk about the windshield thing but snail trails were far more prevalent in my life years ago. Pretty sure I haven’t seen one in 20 years.
TexasTamie@TexasTamieK
It was common practice in the 1970’s, 80’s and even the early 90’s to wash your windshield when you stopped for gas every week. Bugs galore covered the windshield and front grill on your vehicle. That’s not the case anymore. It’s like the bugs have simply disappeared. No bees, no gnats, no flys or moths. Our skies are being poisoned and killing off the insects. When was the last time you saw snail trails going across the concrete walkway after a heavy rain? When was the last time you saw earthworms wiggling across your driveway after a nice rainstorm? Our skies are being poisoned and contaminating the earths soil and killing them. Eczema and psoriasis are also becoming the norm.

@kenwheeler So wild that most normies I know don’t touch AI and I use it for everything. They roll their eyes if I send them convos. I don’t do it any more.
English
again, i cannot stress to you how much regular people hate this shit

you’ll be singing a different tune post midterms

this is a huge deal. massive win for AI labs, founders and builders in the USA. Trump's new AI legal framework doesn't fuck around, gloves are off: - U.S. *does NOT* believe AI trained on copyright material violates copyright theft. MASSIVE win for anthropic, openai who have used copyrighted material. - data centers: full-speed ahead to build them. any increased costs for people should be subsidized. - Trump intends to override state AI laws that create "undue burdens" aka if it prevents USA from beating china - it gets killed. - NO new ai regulators - trump specifically told congress not to spin up further oversight. let the AI spice flow. - no censorship of AI by government. very interesting given the recent pentagon anthropic drama. so basically if you want to build crazy ai shit - the US isn't going to be the one to stop you. huge 180 from their stance last year. amazing work @DavidSacks and whoever else worked on this

Older subdivisions with mature trees are closer to city centers and thus more expensive. Cutting a mature tree down or leaving them will not increase or decrease your homes value that much.
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta
Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@stet_dot_net If I don’t know them or I don’t like them I am not voting for them just based on party. They need to earn my vote in some way.

@webdevwilson Nobody goes to the track just to watch the horses. People feel like they have to bet if they're there.

@DavidDomIverson @JenniferSey That actress is like 20. This lady should know better by now.
English
@JenniferSey I would say it’s a three-way tie between her, Rosie, and that actress in the live action Snow White.

She may be the most insufferable woman on the planet.

@loganclarkhall No Democrat ever said anything like that, and you damn well know it.

Democrats: “lol if we ever come to power again we are going to flood the country with another 100 million illegals and throw you all in prison.”
Senate GOP: “Ermmm guys… We can’t break with our precious norms and procedures and pass voter ID…”
AF Post@AFpost
Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker speaks about a Democratic "Project 2029" in which members of the current Trump administration, along with federal agents, will be criminally and civilly prosecuted. "Whatever it is that we can do. It may be that you cannot criminally prosecute somebody, but you can go after them civilly." Follow: @AFpost

@gov_fails Oh no how will we ever survive more people passing an AP exam and getting college credit easier? 🤣
English
Ugh.
Nothing in academia is real any more.
Michael Torres@MindofTorres
This is what grade inflation looks like. AP exams suddenly became easier. So when your local school, district, or state touts record AP participation and passage rates ... now you know why. Source: fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

@MattWalshBlog @JesseKellyDC Carrabba's and Red Lobster are in the same category of garbage for me. I'd go to fast food before there. At least I'd save some money.
English
@JesseKellyDC Yes those of us with sophisticated literary taste prefer to eat at finer establishments like Carrabba’s Italian Grill
English
Matt Walsh makes fun of Red Lobster. That should tell you what kind of person he is.
People who hate Red Lobster are EXACTLY the kind of people who praise Blood Meridian.
Orwell84@LiveNotByLies1
@JesseKellyDC Matt Walsh was just praising the writing and prose of this book on his podcast. I was entertaining reading it.

@annbauerwriter @GovTimWalz A lot of times “leaders” just talk and none of the people beneath them do what they say. Example: 1st term Trump
English
I'm no longer surprised by how stupid and backward @GovTimWalz is. What I don't get is how he keeps the ship of Minnesota moving along with chronic fraud and openly anti-business policies and simply insane new taxes. That he hasn't been the target of a bloody coup boggles me.
Governor Tim Walz@GovTimWalz
Tech companies are causing disruptions to jobs and our economy, and middle class families are bearing the consequences. To ensure they pay their fair share I’m proposing a tax on social media companies that will support Minnesota workers impacted by artificial intelligence.

@nkim47 I used to really dislike him. Though I always respected the hustle. But then he started wearing the Power T and won me over (a bit). Plus, my Braves-Vandy fan buddies hate him even more so I can give them shit over it.😂
