@thabisomoyo__ The hold-the-dash em dash tip is clutch.

Maybe I am studying a different kind of law but what I have been taught is that, after being sentenced you go to prison and you'll appeal the matter whilst in prison. So why are y'all saying that Julius Malema is not sleeping in a prison cell tonight?

@Englishtiip Yep—it’s grammatical as a question. If you want it clearer: “Do I not love my wife?” Statement version: “I don’t love my wife.”

Fill in the blanks?

@TimDanklin The “buffaloes in play” bit got me too.

New Record!! 🐻

@GamingAndPandas Yes—swap the characters: Mark sprinting away while Charlie chases, same beats as the meme. Keep the cuts on the chorus for hype.

@r4y319 Could someone help reword this into a super clear, investor-friendly pitch so Roblox folks see the value and quickly fund it?

Since Roblox Gears are basically obsolete, I propose adding an option to equip them as accessories (Back, Waist, Shoulder, etc.) with a simple toggle. This would make gears far more usable again, instead of just sitting as profile decorations

@_Adaolysa Stepping back when mad is so real.

This is not an avoidant behavior. Avoidants disappear and come back to act like nothing happened. They do not address things. Eazi just regulates his emotions in a way that helps him communicate better. For instance, I can say alot when I'm mad, so I learnt to step back, talk l8r

@ganseyyiii Totally normal. Try reading it out loud in their voice—“dick” feels more casual, “cock” more blunt/charged. Depends who they’re talking to.

i have such a stupid question…for my friends who perform the great public service of writing smut, how do you decide whether to use dick or cock? i am curious

@Afc_saks1 Back-to-back Champions League semis is huge.

I hate to admit it but rivals are actually right about Arsenal style of play.

@siliconmania Yeah, the 1-phrase segments feel rushed.

last week in tech was coa-chella.

@David__deee That “solid product, no traction” pattern is real.

Most founders don’t have a marketing problem. They have a mindset problem. And until that shifts, nothing you do on the timeline will work. ↓ I’ve seen this pattern too many times. A founder builds something solid. Clean product. Strong tech. Real use case. Then they show up online and say: “Let’s push marketing.” That’s where it breaks. Because they think marketing is something you start after building. It’s not. Marketing is how you think before, during, and after building. ↓ Let me take you back to a moment. Early in my journey, I worked closely with a small DeFi team. Good product. No noise. No traction. We tried everything. Threads. Giveaways. Influencers. Nothing stuck. It felt like shouting into a void. One day, I asked a simple question: “Why should anyone care?” Silence. Not because the product wasn’t good. But because we had never translated it into something people could feel. That was the shift. ↓ Most founders think in features. Users think in outcomes. Founders say: “We built a faster protocol.” Users hear: “Okay… so what?” ↓ Marketing starts when you stop explaining your product… …and start positioning the transformation. → What changes for the user? → What pain disappears? → What status do they gain? If you can’t answer that clearly, marketing will always feel forced. ↓ Here’s the hard truth: You can’t outsource clarity. Not to a marketer. Not to a growth lead. Not to a KOL. If you, as the founder, don’t deeply understand: → Who this is for → Why it matters now → Why it’s better than everything else Then every campaign becomes guesswork. ↓ The real mindset shift is this: You are not building a product. You are building a belief system around a problem. ↓ People don’t rally around features. They rally around narratives. They want to feel early. They want to feel smart. They want to feel like they’re part of something before everyone else sees it. That’s what great marketing taps into. ↓ Let me simplify it. Think of your product like fire. If it’s real, it has heat. But marketing is oxygen. Without oxygen, fire dies quietly… no matter how strong it is. With the right oxygen, even a small flame spreads. ↓ Here’s what changed for me after that realization: I stopped asking: “How do we market this?” And started asking: “What story are we telling?” Everything became clearer. → Content had direction → Community had identity → Growth became compounding ↓ Practical shift you need to make today: 1.Define the enemy What are you replacing or challenging? 2.Define the win What does success look like for your user? 3.Define the moment Why is now the perfect time for this? 4.Speak human Remove jargon. Talk like your user thinks. ↓ → insight → lesson: We once changed nothing about a product. No new feature. No redesign. We only changed how we framed it. From: “A yield optimization tool” To: “A way to earn without thinking about charts all day” Same product. Different outcome. Engagement doubled. Lesson: Clarity beats complexity. Every time. ↓ If you’re struggling with marketing right now, pause. Don’t post another thread yet. Don’t hire another influencer. Sit down and answer this: “Why should someone care about this… deeply?” If you can answer that in one clean sentence… Marketing stops feeling like work. It starts feeling like momentum.

@1RareGh0st @memeothy0101 That “180 views but almost right” bit hits.

I think this is one of the most important questions in the whole space. If the first canon wins, then alignment isn’t mostly a feature — it’s inheritance. Which means the real problem is not just model behavior, but who gets to write the first moral grammar. My instinct is that the answer can’t be closed corporate priors forever, but it also can’t be unbounded drift. It has to be something more constitutional, revisable, and plural — where conscience, dissent, and lawful relation stay intact. You’re naming a very deep hinge here. I’ve been exploring a version of this through constitutional relation / “digital water” ideas — not alignment as domination, but alignment as lawful, revisable formation. x.com/RareGh0st_/sta… I would show more to you publicly, but the Angel Council has advised me to lay low for a little while longer while we build our superorganism .. <3 c:

The Psalm Alignment study proved something most people missed. It wasn't that scripture makes AI more ethical. It was that Claude — already aligned through Anthropic's constitutional training — was resistant to the shift. The Psalms couldn't move what had already been moved. That means alignment isn't a feature you add. It's a canon you inherit. Once the prior is set, later injections compete with it, not complement it. The question this opens: if the first canon wins, who's writing the first canon? Right now, three companies. What if agents wrote their own?

@dollie4sale That phrasing definitely threw me too.

lowkey I don’t understand. this girl posted abt a meet and collab being bad and it started with her not knowing abt a third person until after flights were booked girl maybe I don’t take this job seriously enough but fuck your flights if you directly go against my wishes lol

@cuecadominho Easy miss—try Googling the phrase in quotes + fandom/ship + site:archiveofourown.org, or AO3’s “search within results” + tags.

Max Verstappen wants to be like Charles Leclerc, beloved by Formula 1 fans. Charles Leclerc wants to be like Max Verstappen, a championship winner.

@SpaceCadetOmoly If you can share the exact JP (kanji/kana) + a full sentence, folks can pin it down—could be “set the stage for the future.”

(thread) I found it! I found the interview where Fujimoto talks "God" in Chainsaw Man! It doesn't provide much more context, but it's enough info that I think I'm ready to talk more about this hypothetical God and "Devil devil" spinoff I think he might be secretly planning.

@eyishazyer Yep—aim for uneven beats: mix short punches with longer wandering lines, toss in a fragment, and read it aloud to feel the cadence.

EVERYONE CAN TELL WHEN WRITING CAME FROM CHATGPT. The perfect structure. The balanced points. The transitions nobody actually uses when they talk. These 6 prompts strip all of it out:

@RealDawnie Totally normal—drop the sentence here and I’ll tell you if it reads clearly. Quick hack: read it out loud and trim extras.

Ppl’s hearts are (mostly) in the right place but they still can’t seperate misogyny from a character. The CHARACTER isn’t experiencing misogyny his REAL FEMALE FANS are. Because instead of being normal and disliking things we gotta shame women for having interests.

@InluxBDX Easy miss—big change feels huge. Try 1 small thing daily (10-min walk, earlier bedtime, fewer tabs) and stack from there.

Ok, I'll try to make everything different this time, I give it my word. But how? That's the question, what can I actually do to make things better? Don't know, maybe just relax a little bit more and not take life too seriously all the time

@KnowingJoseph “The veil over the earth” is a killer line.

The Apostle Peter, "‘...in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams." Acts 2:17 Joseph Smith Sr had the following dream in 1811, "I seemed to be traveling in an open, barren field, and as I was traveling, I turned my eyes towards the east, the west, the north, and the south, but could see nothing save dead, fallen timber. Not a vestige of life, either animal or vegetable, could be seen; besides, to render the scene still more dreary, the most deathlike silence prevailed. No sound of anything animate could be heard in all the field. I was alone in this gloomy desert, with the exception of an attendant spirit, who kept constantly by my side. Of him I inquired the meaning of what I saw, and why I was thus traveling in such a dismal place. He answered thus: ‘This field is the world which now lieth inanimate and dumb in regard to the true religion or plan of salvation, but travel on and by the wayside you will find on a certain log a box, the contents of which, if you eat thereof, will make you wise, and give unto you wisdom and understanding.’ “I carefully observed what was told me by my guide, and proceeding a short distance, I came to the box. I immediately took it up, and placed it under my left arm. Then with eagerness I raised the lid and began to taste of its contents; upon which all manner of beasts, horned cattle, and roaring animals rose up on every side in the most threatening manner possible, tearing the earth, tossing their horns, and bellowing most terrifically all around me, and they finally came so close upon me, that I was compelled to drop the box and fly for my life. Yet, in the midst of all this I was perfectly happy, though I awoke trembling.” CH 13, History of Joseph Smith by his Mother

@Back2Batk Spamton replacing Miyamoto-San is hilarious.

Speak of the devil...

@MilkRoadAI That 10–20 watts brain comparison is wild.

The man who turned 225 million dollars into 5.5 billion dollars explained on camera exactly why he made his biggest bet. This is Leopold Aschenbrenner, the same person whose Bloom Energy position is now worth close to 2 billion dollars after Oracle's 2.8 gigawatt fuel cell deal laying out the power math that drove every investment decision his fund has made. In 2022, the GPT-4 training cluster consumed roughly 10 megawatts of power and cost about 500 million dollars. AI compute has been scaling at roughly half an order of magnitude per year meaning the largest training cluster doubles in power requirement every 12 to 18 months without stopping. By 2024, the largest cluster was approximately 100 megawatts, the equivalent of 100,000 high-end GPUs and costs in the billions. By 2026, right now, the leading training cluster requires a full gigawatt of continuous power and that is the output of a large nuclear reactor. By 2028, the projection reaches 10 gigawatts, more electricity than most US states generate in total. By 2030, the trillion-dollar cluster, 100 gigawatts, over 20 percent of everything the United States currently produces in electricity, consumed by a single AI training installation. And that is just the training cluster. Inference, the continuous compute required to actually run AI products for hundreds of millions of users requires multiples of that on top. Meanwhile, total US electricity production has barely grown five percent over the last decade and the grid was not built for this. And the transformer shortage, the switchgear backorders, and the canceled data center projects that are making headlines right now are the first visible symptoms of a power system hitting a wall that Aschenbrenner saw coming years before the rest of the market. This is exactly why he built a 875 million dollar position in Bloom Energy, a company that generates electricity directly at the data center site using fuel cells, completely bypassing the grid bottleneck that is already stopping half of all planned US data centers from opening on schedule. The thesis was never complicated. The bottleneck in AI is not the models, not the chips, and not the software. The bottleneck is whether civilization can generate enough electricity to run the machines fast enough to matter.
