Reminder that there are people with 160-190 IQ who actually intellectually mog Mythos (which probably takes a whole Rubin pod to run), while their brain runs on ~20W. We aren't being bullish enough on the biological substrate. Humanity is still early. It's time to bio/acc

@DanielJafari @zeta_globin I think Eustachian tube length is a major component and also highly genetic

@zeta_globin I'm convinced ear infections have a strong genetic predisposition component. I had never have one and went to the same pools as a kid but a bunch of my friends would suffer.

I got ~7 million ear infections like this as a kid at pools & swim team and then eventually it turned into ear fungus that almost grew into my brain from the antibiotics my mom had them too and her parents just put whiskey down her ears because it was kerry in the 1960s

That camera pan out is insane. Wow.

This Swallow was taking a well-earned rest. That blue and orange plumage is just gorgeous! Happy Friday! 💙🧡

I would love for someone to write the long form book / post on corporate dark arts embodied in the world class EAs calendar snooping, insane politicking, true edge cases of travel and scheduling, soft power logistics, lies and damned lies, etc

Frame it

@vrexec There’s an epidemic of empty suits / people who have the role due to their prior experience but aren’t really doing as much as they should or could be doing in those roles for their companies

I'm 38. At this point of my life/career, I have so many friends working corporate W2 jobs making $200-400K/year (mostly in NYC/NJ/PA corridor) who just don't actually work that much. One friend makes $250K as a manager at a biotech... all he does is send pictures of his chicken coop or other DIY projects all day during the week.. no idea what value he actually provides his company. Then there's my "jiggler" friend who you might recall... guy makes $250-300K and just plugs a "mouse jiggler" into his laptop and just goes to the gym, homeschools his kids, tans, does yard work... all day. I ask him what he does and he can't even articulate it... Another friend makes $150K at a remote startup and just travels around the world all the time... don't ask don't tell situation on where people are at any given time... but does seemingly little actual work.. maybe 1 hour a day. This is truly what's going on out there... BS W2 jobs all over the place. And AI is a bubble? Really?

@nntaleb @mcgillmd921 @byzyeileen You’re never gonna believe this…

@mcgillmd921 @byzyeileen Did he retire?

Just in case you thought Julius Caesar was still currently a Roman Dictator. Thanks Google!

@ItzSuds Notion has been slow and clunky for at least 2 years — I offered to come help them fix it 👀

Notion makes me so sad. Amazing team and used to be a brittle but great product. They never fixed the basic bugs, piled a decade of tech debt into it, and shoved unnecessary AI slop down everyone’s throat. Practically unusable on mobile and extremely slow. Churning after 9 yrs

Well, they’re “sorry to hear about” it but that’s about where the help ends— kind of a CX failure

You can’t help but laugh when your >$100 @FedEx package comes over a week late (as usual), mutilated (as usual), with all the contents missing (that’s a new one) 😂 who did I piss off?

@QnsBPRichards @PassengersUnite @NYTWA @nyctaxi @QueensDAKatz @KGforNYC I don’t understand why the penalties are so soft? Why does everything just end up as “we’ll add some points to their license” — that’s not going to do anything. We need prison time and $2000+ fines and real enforcement

Finding a ride from JFK to your hotel can be stressful, especially if you're new to New York City or don't speak English. Meanwhile, our licensed cab drivers go through enough each day just trying to make a living. Operation Legal Ride will help protect both these groups.

62+ million people flew into JFK last year, which means 62+ million opportunities for hustlers to scam people by offering unlicensed rides. Good to stand with the @PANYNJ today to announce a crackdown on scammers, which will protect visitors and support licensed taxi drivers.

@QnsBPRichards @PassengersUnite @NYTWA @nyctaxi @QueensDAKatz @KGforNYC And if you think these poor people are calling 311 after they get scammed out of all the cash they are carrying on their person, guess again

@alann_marks this is how your package arrived to me 😭

Not great when the storyline of an NBA Finals game is the officiating.

this is frying me bro send me to game 4 already

@TheXFilmXLord Wait until you find out how much actors make when they’re not working at scale rates

7k in 20 days is a lot of money tbh.

i hate how getting tickets at lincoln square feels like ticketing for a concert bruh can they please make another amc imax theater worth going to 😭😭😭 or ppl on tiktok need to start hyping up the regal at union square instead so the people out of state start going there idk
