@DaveShapi ElevenLabs does great music as well. Just a different interface.

It may be time to fire up Suno again.

@Gfilche Two Waymos charging in Seattle today. Looking forward to using autonomous vehicles around these parts.

When Trump leaves office: The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department. The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center. The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico. The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom. Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired. The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president. Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference. The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies. The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists. Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it. The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters. U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators. And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

@SchviftyFive The extreme OCD really blows my mind. Like your car is too dirty, so you need to buy a another one.

Hon no shade you might have OCD

@Gothalion The best example is Starfield. Improved the lighting without going crazy.

I’m being told that devs hold all the tool here and that it doesn’t just simply “do its thing” It’ll be interesting to see implementation

Los Angeles, 1943. A photograph exists that studio executives wished had never been taken. Mae West, Hollywood's most unapologetically sexual woman, walks down a sunlit street beside Albert "Chalky" Wright. The image is simple, unremarkable at first glance. Two people, side by side, caught mid-stride. But this wasn't a movie set. This wasn't choreographed. And Chalky Wright wasn't playing a part. He was a featherweight boxing champion. Sharp mind, quiet dignity, fierce loyalty. Hollywood's publicists called him her "driver" when they couldn't avoid mentioning him entirely. The word was a shield, a carefully constructed lie that kept something explosive safely categorized. Because what existed between Mae West and Chalky Wright was real. And in 1940s America, that reality was more than scandalous. In dozens of states, it was criminal. Interracial relationships didn't just raise eyebrows. They shattered the foundational racial codes that segregation demanded everyone obey. A white movie star and a Black man, walking together as equals, as companions, as partners. That was rebellion in its purest form. Mae West had spent her entire career refusing to behave. She wrote her own scripts because male writers couldn't capture her voice. She served jail time in 1927 for her Broadway show Sex. She turned innuendo into art and made censors squirm. But this was different. This wasn't scripted defiance. This was her life. When the management of her Los Angeles apartment building informed her that Chalky couldn't come upstairs because Black visitors were prohibited from white residents' floors, Mae didn't protest. She bought the building. No debate. No negotiation. Just a transaction that eliminated the barrier completely. Now she owned the space, and no one could dictate who entered it. That's what power looks like when it's wielded for love. Not grand gestures or public declarations. Just quiet, absolute action that dismantles the obstacle and moves forward. Chalky never sought cameras or headlines. In 1935, when someone tried to blackmail Mae, he worked directly with police to protect her. No fanfare. No credit. Just loyalty. They chose each other for decades in a world that made that choice illegal. Mae never confirmed what they were to each other. She didn't owe explanation to systems built to destroy what they shared. She simply walked beside him. And refused to apologize for it.

@SchviftyFive Hydrate

POTS havers: wyd when your blood pressure drops? I’m eating straight Himalayan sea salt and have my legs above my head. Anything else? Help!!

@Erdayastronaut Eric Berger says SLS but New Glenn would have been fun (One time Orion could fly on a reusable rocket)

So the big question, what rocket is going to launch Orion into LEO for Artemis III?! 👀 certainly they won’t waste an SLS rocket for a LEO mission.

@endingwithali Not dm'ing, just a random meme 😀

if youre going to dm me, send me your portfolio of things that align. im not looking for heavy motion graphics or fx with these

@PureRuby87 right now (but probably playing on ps5)

@DaveShapi And us engineering types love to fix things

Fully content people don't often make great change. I sometimes wonder if my chronic illness was a sort of cosmic forcing function. I could no longer work a tech job. I had to go solo. I couldn't just sit by and enjoy life when I was exhausted and in pain. I had to fix something.

@MKBHD Not like driving to another airport would yield much of a result either

Getting to that Samsung event this week is gonna be tough 😬

@DaveShapi Yup, as of Tuesday? Google got the accelerator down. And ElevenLabs now integrates video (for lip syncing with their audio)

Create Music???

Ha right, freedom of speech. Smaller government, starting with Brendan Carr.

@DJSnM and BE4s & RL10s taking up the slack

Again, congratulatons to the guidance team

@DaveShapi Rumor is that openai will probably sponsor the creator of openclaw. The creator wants the project to stay open source but is happy to have the API credits from openai.

Huge if true* *It's not true (Yet)
