When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

EXCLUSIVE @TheAtlantic On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

@DCBarno @Jeff_Ermann 23 year old sophomore 💪

Well that’s one way to start off the portal. Via @Jeff_Ermann Terps getting a 6-9 250 lb double-double machine to pair with a 6-9 250 lb Pharrel Payne in the post. 500 lb front court folks.

@jonkarl But will my easy pass work there?

This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.” “It’s a beautiful thing”

@ScottHanson They absolutely suck tonight and made the 1st half of the game about the officiating, not the basketball. Hopefully they make themselves invisible in the 2nd half

Officials having a hard time in the Natty

@yzyszn23 @Variety Fuck him and every other Nazi. There is no forgiveness for that. Ever.

@Variety Kanye lost everything, his family, his businesses, his money. He hit rock bottom and even considered taking his own life. He spent 4 months in a rehab center, is now on medication, and has apologized multiple times while continuing to make amends. Leave him alone, Let him live.

Kanye West’s rapid comeback after years of hate speech and controversy shows how quickly people are willing to forget. It speaks to a larger truth about America, where fame, money and noise can enable a person to be excused for virtually anything. His return is not just about music, but about a culture that chooses to overlook even the most extreme behavior. variety.com/2026/music/opi…

@MarchMadnessMBB @NCAA refs are RUINING this game. If I wanted to watch zebras for 3 hours, I would have turned on the discovery channel.

I started my original Twitter account in 2009 to talk about football. I only tweeted about football, I only followed football related accounts and I only commented on and participated in discussions about football. My entire timeline was football. Once Elon bought Twitter, I would randomly get a Benny Johnson or Charlie Kirk, etc post popping up in my timeline. Daily. No matter how many times I clicked “not interested,” muted people, blocked people, it didn’t matter. He bought this app to systematically brainwash Americans and we really should talk about it more.

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. Let’s make sure it goes viral here.

@sageaurelius @PolitlcsUK Fuck Nazis. There is no forgiveness for them, and if you support them, you, ever.

Melvin Benn's statement is thoughtful and comes from a place of personal experience with mental illness and a genuine commitment to forgiveness. Antisemitic comments like Ye's were deeply hurtful and wrong, causing real pain for many especially in the Jewish community, which has faced rising challenges. That said, Ye has publicly apologized, attributing much of it to a severe manic episode and mental health struggles, and his music is already widely streamed and played without issue. This feels like a complex case of separating the art from the artist, while hoping for continued accountability and healing. Festivals are about music and shared experiences—curious to see how it unfolds respectfully for everyone involved.

🚨 BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said: "I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on October 7th, am pro Jew and the Jewish state, while being equally committed to a Palestinian state.  "Having had a person in my life for the last 15 years who suffers from mental illness, I have witnessed many episodes of despicable behaviour that I have had to forgive and move on from. If I wasn’t before, I have become a person of forgiveness and hope in all aspects of my life, including work. "What Ye has said in the past about Jews and Hitler is as abhorrent to me as it is to the Jewish community, the Prime Minister and others that have commented and - taking him at his word - to Ye now also.  "Ye’s music is played on commercial radio stations in this country. It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform. We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.  "Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do"

@RollingStone @LiveNation owns this nazi fest. I hope everyone knows and understands that.

@LeadingReport Thinning the herd is OK

BREAKING: Rising number of Americans refusing life-saving blood transfusions because they come from vaccinated donors, per Daily Mail.

@Riverboat_Ross On your way out after the game, ask every losing team rich looking alumni if they want to sell their finals ticket. You will get GOOD tickets… for face or less, maybe for free

I’ve dreamed my entire life about watching a Final 4 live! I just got here and got to my seat, and based on the view I’ll have to keep dreaming. I can’t see shit up here

@kpottermn Fuck @JetBlue

NEW: JetBlue is the first major US airline to raise bag fees as fuel prices have soared. Prepaying for a first bag goes from $35 to $39 during off-peak times - and $40 to $49 during peak. 2nd bag rates all up by $9. This is a copycat industry. Watch other airlines to follow.

Happy birthday Angus Young ⚡️🎬 @ChristieGoodwin

JUST IN: There are roughly 50,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. Each one requires liquid helium cooled to minus 269 degrees Celsius to keep its superconducting magnets functional. A single non-operational MRI eliminates 20 to 30 patient scans per day. Those are the scans that detect tumours before they metastasise, strokes before they kill, spinal injuries before they paralyse. The helium that makes those scans possible came, until 31 days ago, from Qatar’s Ras Laffan facility, which produced a third of the world’s supply as a byproduct of liquefied natural gas. Ras Laffan was struck by Iranian missiles on March 18. It declared force majeure. Fourteen percent of its helium capacity is permanently destroyed. Repairs will take three to five years. Helium prices have doubled. India’s hospitals are already reporting MRI cost spikes and scan delays. European facilities are rationing non-urgent diagnostics. Air Liquide has warned customers of unfulfilled orders. And 200 cryogenic containers holding 41,000 litres each are stranded in the Persian Gulf with 35 to 48 days before their cooling systems fail and the gas vents irreversibly into the atmosphere. Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s gravity once released. It does not come back. Here is the connection that should stop every health minister, every defence secretary, and every AI executive in their tracks. The same helium that cools the MRI magnet scanning a child’s brain for a tumour in Mumbai also cools the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine printing the two-nanometre transistor in Hsinchu that powers the AI model selecting bombing targets over Isfahan. Hospitals and semiconductor fabs are now competing for the same shrinking pool of the same molecule at the same temperature. The war has created a zero-sum allocation between healing and killing, and the molecule does not care which one wins. TSMC holds 6.2 weeks of inventory and recycles 68 to 95 percent on site. Samsung holds six months but sources 65 percent from Qatar. Both are rationing toward AI and high-bandwidth memory, starving consumer chip production to keep the advanced nodes alive. Hospitals are nominally prioritised in allocation queues, but when a single TSMC fab consumes 500,000 cubic feet of helium per year and a trillion-dollar AI buildout depends on keeping those fabs running, the allocation queue is a polite fiction masking a brutal triage. Newer MRI machines use zero-boil-off technology, sealed systems holding as little as 0.7 litres of helium that never need refilling. In India, 3,500 of 5,000 machines already use this technology. But the legacy fleet, the machines in rural hospitals, developing nations, and underfunded health systems, still requires 1,500 to 2,000 litres per fill. Those are the machines that will go dark first. Those are the patients who will be diagnosed last. The geography of helium scarcity maps precisely onto the geography of healthcare inequality. The war’s casualties are not only soldiers and civilians in the strike zone. They include every patient whose scan was delayed because the helium that should have cooled their MRI machine is boiling off in a container drifting 57 kilometres northwest of Dubai. The body count of a chokepoint war does not end at the chokepoint. It extends to every hospital, every diagnostic centre, every oncology ward that depends on a noble gas extracted from natural gas that transits a 39-kilometre strait controlled by a navy that no longer exists but whose mines, drones, and shore batteries still function. The molecule does not distinguish between a magnet in a scanner and a magnet in a missile. It cools both to the same temperature. And today, there is not enough of it for both.

@Gizmodo Perhaps you can update your web site and get rid of all the bloated pop in, up and under ads that make it unusable and irritating that I won’t read an article that I wanted to because it’s like torture to do so
