@msg Oh, that's clever. Well played

Was woken up at 4am bc it was too hot in the hotel room. Nano Banana gods saved the day. prompt: “create an image in English”

@TheJoeySwoll @Schwarzenegger 🔥 @TheJoeySwoll excellent, excellent, work!

Finishing off day 1 at the Arnold Expo UK on stage with the GOAT! 💪🏼 @Schwarzenegger

@Variety A+ for the ambition. A+ for taking the constructive criticism to heart. Because in doing both, they apparently created a diamond (I read the book, and effin' love sci-fi, but it wasn't my cup of tea)

#ProjectHailMary directors showed a nearly four-hour cut of the movie to fellow filmmakers, "which was embarrassing." They received a unanimous note: "Get it way shorter." “Our first official test screening went great, but we do a lot of earlier screenings for friends and family and other filmmakers and writers,” Chris Miller explained. “This movie was massive. When we finally got the assembly cut down to under four hours long, we subjected some filmmaker friends of ours to a three hour and 45 minute cut of the movie, which was embarrassing.” Phil Lord added: "You just don’t know how the scenes are going to land with an audience. We thought everything was charming, but some of those charming things didn’t land." (via Happy Sad Confused) variety.com/2026/film/news…

@NeuralBuffalo @MySportsUpdate @Blakes_Take2 Giants fan here. Same. Damnit.

@MySportsUpdate @Blakes_Take2 I’m a Bills fan, but it is impossible not to like/respect Vrabel. Hell of a coach.

#Patriots HC Mike Vrabel was at Arizona State’s Pro Day today, checking out 6’6”, 321-pound OL Max Iheanachor. No other HC does it like this. (🎥 @Blakes_Take2)

@Michaelfiore What time did you get through to him? Also, Boooooo! (I get that he was probably running behind, but man, just say that, else you end up being a discussion on Twitter 🤣)

Update: he diverted to a truck stop, but claims when he called he couldn’t get through. We will unload in the morning.

Truck driver said he’d be here with a load of plants by 5:30, it’s past our normal receiving hours, but I made an exception. Told him we could get him unloaded. It’s almost 6 and he’s not here. Should I be a bro and keep people here to unload after hours? Or do I lock the gate and make him wait until morning? I knew better than to say yes…

@Mike_M_Klotz The internet once told me that any silicone based one does the job. I followed that advice and it works a treat. This can is older than my 7yo.

I need recommendations for sunroof seal conditioner. The rubbing noise is driving me crazy.

@morganisawizard Well done! Baby wipes are the best, agreed. Also, there's a level of grime you can accumulate which serves as a fantastic sunscreen. However! hearing the grime crack and break when you first sit up in the morning takes some getting used to 🤣

currently living out of my car in the desert. this is the dirtiest i’ve been in my life. baby wipes are god’s gift to mankind. i’ve become a proud owner of a bandana and have taken to shooting my empty beer bottles with a glock.

Oh man. 1996-1998 I would walk past a dark green Cherokee on the way to the bus stop while I was in high school. I thought it looked fantastic. And I always thought it was an itch I'd go out of my way to scratch...then I sat in one. And now I'm happy to appreciate the shape from afar 🤣

Need to scratch my itch with one of these one day. One of the most important cars to come out of the US? I think so.

@JohnGoldman Nice work!

Running consistently changes the way your heart performs. Age 50. Resting heart rate: 39. 39! Down from the 60’s and 70’s.

@JJWatt Yassssssss!

Might have just peaked in the steak preparation game. Not sure where it can really go from here. Just stood there staring at it for a good 5 minutes.

@juliaccarreon unfortunately, i don't disagree. i say that also noting that it's not a reality i care to experience 🤣

@rossiadam I'm not surprised that you cut through all of the nonsense and got right to the crux of the issue. but still, nice work, and thanks for sharing. also, toliets are no fun to work on.

There's a romantic narrative online right now: buy a baby boomer's business, apply your digital skills, print money. The pitch usually goes something like: Old owner, fax machine, terrible website, great book of business, 30-year reputation, he needs to retire. You look at that and get this big head where you think: I could do better. Sure, you could build a nicer-looking website. Set up a CRM. Plug in some new software. Run some Google Ads. Automate the invoicing etc. You could probably do all of that in the first month. But there are a lot of aspects where that old guy is The Man, and you're not. And those are the aspects that actually keep the business alive. Every business is hard and every business is competitive. And in a lot of these companies there’s been no effort put into making the company transferable to someone else. Every operation is “Ask Jim”. There’s very few systems or documentation, usually just a network of relationships and knowledge that lives inside one person’s head. By all means, buy the boomer business. But there's typically not this simple button you can press where you upgrade some of the tech and extra business starts rolling in. A friend of mine put it simply: if you buy a roofing company, you're going to end up on the roof at some point. Another friend went from a white collar job to buying an HVAC business from a retiring owner. He said after an employee pulled a gun on him, he knew he was in over his head. Jim knew how to handle this type of employee. My friend didn’t. He was lucky to sell the business and move on. And the issue is, Jim is old and wants to retire. He is probably unwilling to give you more than a one year transition - max. I can tell you from personal experience it took me every bit of two years to transition from a Jim. I was lucky that my Jim was willing to put in that time and that we liked working together. Another humbling aspect from my experience was that a lot of my bright ideas to improve over Jim’s processes took much longer to bear fruit than I anticipated. So we were spending a lot more money and doing about the same as Jim was doing in terms of revenue. Jim was bemused. There is a lot of opportunity in the boomer businesses. Stay humble though. Jim knows a thing or two that you don’t. It’s not going to be as easy as you think. You may end up on the roof. You may have a gun pulled on you. You will definitely end up doing some dirty jobs you never imagined doing. Have fun!

@JohnSaunders86 @Gibboanxious Eeew

@Gibboanxious People like this is why film grain gets scrubbed out with DNR.

Imagine investing in a high-end OLED TV and a UHD player, then asking this.

@drealEjaySwitch @GAltringham Facts

@GAltringham Not all heroes wear capes, some wear giant T-shirts and cargo shorts

“They took me in the dead of night to a place that was more psychiatric institution than rehab when I was 13. They put a collar with shock wires on me. If you misbehaved, they’d lock you in a padded room or strap you to a gurney. I was desperate, telling the other girls: ‘Fuck this place, these people don’t care about us!’ My mom didn’t know how to deal with me. I had become a monster she created. In just a year and a half, I got 18 years of upbringing. She simply couldn’t be a mother. When I got out, I tried to rebuild my life, but I was blacklisted from the film world. I was ‘the crazy girl from the mental institution.’ But my friends lifted me up. I wanted to work with Adam Sandler and asked him to meet me at a coffee shop. He showed up in cargo shorts and a giant T-shirt. Me, in pink heels, a leopard coat, and purple hair. I told him: ‘Look beyond this. I feel like we can do something special.’ And he believed in me. He was my salvation. Today I have a family I chose, friends who taught me what it means to belong. I survived because of them. Now, I want to offer the world safety, so that anyone near me feels it: a safe place.” — Drew Barrymore on her childhood and her career revival thanks to Adam Sandler

@BigSkyCaptures Oh, nice one

I had an errand in Boulder yesterday and decided to explore the backroads on the 40 mile drive. I found this abandoned homestead that I thought would be good for #OldWoodWednesday. They sure had a nice view.

@juliaccarreon Yes, verbatim. Please also share the bots response 🤣

@SahilBloom 💯

Nobody tells you this: Emotional control is the ultimate sign of growth. The ability to remain unshaken by the little collisions and inconveniences of life. To avoid assigning false narratives to everyday slights. That’s when you take control of your own life.
