Thomas Bond

@mister_rai_ous @DoctorLemma Oh gotcha. Right, can’t imagine they were prob thinking he was ghey!

@Jbvbond @DoctorLemma I know, I meant the people who were hating on him. It’s like they hated the idea of the virus more than the way it was contracted

On this day 35 years ago, over 1,500 people attended the funeral of an 18-year-old boy from Indiana, United States. His pallbearers included Elton John, one of the most famous musicians in the world, and Michael Jackson. The First Lady sat in the front row. The former president wrote a tribute that ran in the national papers. His name was Ryan White. At 13, he contracted HIV through a blood transfusion to treat his haemophilia, a blood disorder that prevents clotting. Doctors gave him six months. When he tried to go back to school, parents and teachers fought to ban him. Restaurants threw away his dishes. Church members refused to shake his hand. He didn’t fight back. He educated. He went on national television and calmly explained how the virus actually worked. He changed more minds about the disease than any campaign or government programme at the time. He lived five years longer than anyone expected. He passed away one month before his high school graduation. Four months after his funeral, the United States Congress passed the Ryan White CARE Act. It became the largest federally funded programme for people living with HIV in the country’s history, and it still operates today, providing care to over 500,000 people every year.

@mister_rai_ous @DoctorLemma If you read the text it said thru a blood transfusion. Someone with HIV donated blood to a blood bank. Because of this they started screening people.

@DoctorLemma People hated the virus for the sake of hating it? Did they even know how he contracted it? 🤨

@mitchellvii Nice car. Wide to get the extended warranty. They break down a lot. The 7 series is the most depreciating car they have. By year 3 they are only with half of what you paid for it.

I'm excited I finally bought my car. I've always wanted a 740i but the new ones were over 100k but I found one that was in cherry condition with 58k miles on it and a terrific price I sprung for the $$$ BMW extended warranty because you don't want something to break on this car out of warranty. Weird thing is I'm only paying $100 a month more that my old BMW. Hope I made a good choice. I've always wanted this car but it was always too expensive or too high miles.

@w_terrence What a moron! Should have just lit the cash on fire.

George Conway in tears says he gave up nearly $1 million of his children’s inheritance to help Biden because he wanted them to inherit a democracy, not money. He says he pulled the car over, wiped his tears away, then drove to the fundraiser and gave Biden the check anyway. “I was driving to a Democratic fundraiser in 2024, and I had written a check for the maximum amount that you can give, which is $929,600 to the Biden Victory Fund. And as I was driving there, I started crying. And I had to pull the car over because I realized that the money that I was about to give, uh, was money that otherwise would have gone to my children as part of their inheritance. And I thought to myself: I want my kids to inherit a democracy. And so, I wiped the tears away and I drove to the fundraiser and I gave them the check.”

@CollinRugg How do you have a paper wherehouse that big without a sprinkler system or any wherehouse for that matter. Bet they wish they did have one now.

NEW: Disgruntled employee starts massive fire at a 1.2 million square foot warehouse in Ontario, California. 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim was arrested on arson charges for setting a Kimberly-Clark warehouse on fire. Abdulkarim apparently filmed himself on Instagram setting toilet paper packages in the warehouse on fire. "You may not pay us enough to f*cking live, but these b*tches dirt cheap... There goes your inventory," Abdulkarim apparently said. "All you had to do is pay us enough to live. All you had to do was pay us enough to f*cking live." The warehouse is the size of 11 city blocks. In total, 175 firefighters and 20 engines were on the scene trying to put the fire out. No one was injured.

Elon Musk: We've found 14 magic money computers in the government. They send money out of nothing. “I call a Magic Money Computer any computer which can just make money out of thin air. That's magic money. It just issues payments. They're mostly at Treasury – there's some at HHS, one or two at State, there's some at DoD. I think we found now 14 Magic Money Computers. They just send money out of nothing.” Interview with Ted Cruz, March 10, 2025

@ElonClipsX Imagine that!

@CollinRugg At least they saved the foundation!

NEW: Footage shows the aftermath of the Ontario, California, fire that wiped out a 1.2M-square-foot tissue paper warehouse. 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim was allegedly upset about his pay, so he decided to burn the whole warehouse down. The warehouse served the tissue paper needs of about 50 million people, according to authorities. Video: adventure_air_official / ig.

@bet_105 Shut up! 😂😂😂

@WallStreetApes @fightfite Lower the price but less in the bag. The bag is practically air!

Doritos selling for $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions It turns out the decision to charge $7 for a bag of Doritos backfired and people stopped buying them, costing the company billions In response, the price is being lowered. “PepsiCo, it's actually gonna slash prices by up to 15% on some of their salty snacks after sales plunged, and the company missed internal revenue targets”

@Ilegvm Unless you have her equivalent or more of an IQ how would they possibly have a test for her?

Marilyn vos Savant was born in 1946 and grew up in a working-class family. She read the entire encyclopedia by age 10. She attended Meramec Community College, then Washington University in St. Louis but left after two years to help run the family investment business. She held Guinness's highest recorded IQ (1985-1989). In 1990, her “Ask Marilyn” column correctly solved the Monty Hall problem: switch doors for a 2/3 chance of winning a car. She received over 10,000 angry letters—including PhDs telling her she was wrong. She stayed calm but was proved right. 🔥 Do you think she was challenged so fiercely because she was a woman or purely the counterintuitive math? For me as a woman that loved Math, I’m glad for women like her that paved the way for the career I have now and was glad that she was proven right😉🔥 We also need to get rid of common core Math in all public education.

@HistorianUSA1 😂😂😂

Her dad made her film the dealership promo and she delivered the most honest sales pitch in history: “This is one of the cars we have. It’s nice… I guess.” “This is Carl’s desk. He’ll help you buy a car. I guess.” “I guess you can come buy a car from us if you want.” Maria invented anti-hype marketing. Legend. 😂

@HistorianUSA1 @JDTucker10 You guess!

@JDTucker10 I checked it out on Google Earth. They have a good amount.

WOW! A drone show put on by a church in Manvel, Texas depicts our Savior Jesus on the cross. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Tomorrow, HE IS RISEN.

@IndianaGPA 😂😂😂

The Game that made Bob Barker Retire 🤣🤣

@elonmusk Are you using ASML Machines to make your chips?

My idea of a good time is working with amazing engineers to create incredible technology 🤩 The Tesla chip research fab will have all the machines needed to do logic, memory, packing & masks in one building for a lightning fast development cycle. Heaven 💫

@NFL_DovKleiman @EWErickson Answere is simple, find something better to do with your Sundays!

Insane: In order for NFL fans to watch every football game next season you will need TEN different streaming subscriptions. • Netflix • Prime Video • NFL Network • Peacock/NBC • FOX • CBS • ESPN+ • Paramount+ • YouTube TV • NFL Sunday Ticket It is nearly impossible to be a football fan 🤦‍♂️

@gothburz This isn’t economics it’s GREED plane and simple.

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion. On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM. Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated." The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership. It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made." By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received. We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries. In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not. An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions. The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport. The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew. That is retention. Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%. These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off. We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day. Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House. The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin. Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model. Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot. One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop. The role is still open. The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Wow, took all those people to produce that! Crazy
