Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive. This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

This is the only king to celebrate this weekend.

Happy Birthday, King Friday! King Friday Xlll celebrates his birthday every Friday the 13th. He was given his name and birthday to try to help break superstitions around the day and celebrate it instead.

I asked chatgpt's new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The results genuinely gave me chills. I'll post them all in a thread below.

Yep, he broke into a machine already running, had the team do this in 2 days. Here is the actual timeline. 1. On Monday our client approved our 90% complete models for our solution to mount electronics in a highly dynamic aviation application. 2. Tuesday We completed SolidWorks and did conformance prints in house along with mating parts. 3. Tuesday 10PM after two tweaks we shipped files to all vendors (US and China) via DropBox 4. Wednesday 8AM quote from China. 5. Wednesday 9:30AM PO issued. 5. Wednesday PM quote from US vendor and PO issued. 6. Friday 6AM told parts will be in FedEx Saturday. 7. Tuesday early PM parts delivered and QA started. That’s how fast it goes with good vendors in China and the US. In this case both vendors got orders.

8 soldiers of Svoboda Battalion of the 4th National Guard Rubizh Brigade defended a strongpoint near the village of Spirne near Siversk for 67 days - from July 10 to September 16. For the last three weeks, they fought in complete encirclement and fought off the last enemy assault when Russian assaultmen stormed their position and pelted their dugout with grenades. The commander of the position was a 25-year-old platoon leader, Senior Lieutenant Vladyslav Stotskyi. Volunteer soldiers from Svoboda Battalion fought alongside Vladyslav. All of them had no military experience before 2022. On September 16, a Russian assault team attacked the strongpoint with two tanks, two MT-LBs, and an infantry fighting vehicle, from which an entire assault platoon disembarked. Svoboda Warriors repelled the attack and destroyed the entire enemy assault team. Military correspondent Yurii Butusov recorded this interview with Vladyslav a day after he left the strongpoint on the orders of the command and led 6 soldiers out, so he is full of emotions. The body of his brother-in-arms Oleksandr Khomiak, who died a brave death in close combat with the Russians, could not be taken out of the encirclement. I highly recommend to watch this interview. It shows the incredible efforts and sacrifices Ukrainian soldiers are making to defend every meter of their homeland. Everyone needs to know this.

Live from New York, it's Saturday night.

Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.

@craigertweeter TLDR: didn’t matter

@winterrose @KennethCassel To be fair their printed yellow book was already the world’s best catalog :)

@KennethCassel they looked at how everyone else does eCommerce, said “fuck that, the catalog works better” and built the world’s best catalog.

how come a company founded over 100 years ago has the fastest site on the internet?

Donald Trump would absolutely HATE it if you RTed Kamala Harris kicking ASS in her Bret Baier interview on Fox! Here she is proclaiming that Donald Trump is UNSTABLE. #TrumpisBadforUs

Total missed opportunity @SpellingBeeNYT

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements. Over and over and over. (thread)

@JacobJaber Love that photo! We miss you here in midtown Palo Alto, that was a great location that brought the area together. I remember meeting you & your dad when you guys were setting up shop there!

The first Philz location used to be a bodega. Here’s a picture of the first coffee station and my dad (Phil) tucked in the corner of the bodega (you can see bottles of Rémy Martin on the right). The first several years of business weren’t pretty, but my dad and I obsessed over quality and every customer interaction. Eventually, we sold the liquor and tobacco license and replaced aisles of products with furniture from our house. The beginning of something is never certain or feels super organized, but passion and perseverance increase the odds of success. Don’t give up.

White friends, especially white women who did not have an undergraduate sorority experience: In the coming months you’ll likely see a great deal of content about VP Harris’ sorority affiliation and the support from its members. We 🩷 it. Some info & tips for us: 🧵

@flyosity I have hard floors but yeah I like to vacuum.

The best designers love to vacuum. You're telling me that your job all day long is to elegantly organize chaos and give it structure and definition but you don't also love to see fresh vacuum lines in a carpet??
