@m_takewaka I visited last October and it was the trip of a lifetime. Two weeks. Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima (Miyajima Island), Narita. I would like to go back next March or April and see more nature and other adventures. Open to any and all recommendations.

Dear American friends, Have you ever been to Japan? Or would you like to come to Japan? If you were able to come to Japan, where would you like to go and what would you like to do?

@yoyonofukuoka Having visited Japan for the first time last year, all I could think the entire time I was there was, “I hope Japan can stay Japan forever.” And once I got back home, I thought “We don’t have to live this way.” Inspired. I love my country. I also love your country. 🇺🇸 🤝 🇯🇵

アメリカ人はもっと、日本人を下に見てるのかと思ってた。 それも仕方ないと思ってたけど、実際は全然違った。 彼らは僕達を対等に見ている。 彼らの日本愛の熱量は本気だった。 自動翻訳機能によって、僅かなボタンの掛け違いが解消した。 ありがとうイーロンマスク。 ありがとうXスタッフ。 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

美味そうな肉の写真をアップするとアメリカ人からリプを貰えると聞きましたwww

@Atlas__420 @DiscussingFilm The theatrical cut is pretty bad. The extended edition is awesome!

@DiscussingFilm That’s is one I actually never seen. Worth the watch?

10 years ago today, ‘BATMAN V SUPERMAN’ released in theaters.

Yep. That’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation …

@fandompulse He’s right.

Bane creator Graham Nolan on James Gunn's Superman movie: "Superman has one histrionic outburst after another and wonders why he’s mistrusted? Way too beta. His parents are from Kansas and sound and act like they were inbred in Kentucky. It’s a narrative mess as scenes jump confusingly. Too many characters with no intro to who they are. I know Steve Lombard’s background but a normy doesn’t. Perry White smokes a cigar with no smoke or ash Calling fight plays during a fight? That’s idiotic. We never see Metamorpho do anything to break up the war at the end, yet there he is all of a sudden. I have one unbreakable rule when it comes to movies and entertainment: make me care! I’ll buy all kinds of bullshit you are selling if I care about the characters and stakes. For SUPERMAN…I didn’t care." Is he right?

@ItsAmerica1stAF @WallStreetMav I’ll always remember Perio instructor describing it plainly: “You can brush with water so long as you do it right. The problem is most people don’t do it right.”

@WallStreetMav Dentist here. The jury is still out on hydroxyapetite. There's alot of conflicting studies. Personally idc what ppl use as long as they brush. Mechanical debridement is king.

Toothpaste seems like a scam now. From everything I have read, it’s all a worthless. Just use hydroxyapatite toothpaste. No BS chemicals and it’s made out of the calcium your teeth are and remineralizes your teeth.

@mahkus @JailerMan_Wings I test drove one and got to hear it. It’s incredible. Wish the new base model had the option to upgrade.

@JailerMan_Wings Any major dude will tell you...the sound system rocks!

Help! My wife keeps on stealing the Cybertruck and using it as a pickup truck more than I do. What do I do?

JUST IN: Renowned AI professor claims the universe is a simulation created to develop superintelligence — and will "soon be turned off."

@MayorOfSnark @ladidaix @Variety It is what it is. If you were a coal miner, you had to adapt or get left behind. Not saying I like it. I don't want anyone to hurt, but that's life. Figure it out.

@ladidaix @Variety No because all it's doing is taking jobs away from people

Netflix has acquired interpositive, a start-up founded by Ben Affleck that makes AI-powered tools for filmmakers. • The system builds AI models from a film’s dailies to assist with postproduction tasks like color, relighting and VFX while keeping filmmakers “at the center of the process.” • Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s CCO, says the tech will provide creatives “more choices, more control and more protection for their vision.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lGYPw

@TrevorScottReal @SawyerMerritt Sometimes I don't want to open X because I don't want to get sucked into social media. Depends on the day. So I do really like having a separate Grok app for that. I would think someday it all merges and you can select what you want it to open up to on default.

@SawyerMerritt But why have separate apps when the purpose is having everything IN X? I don’t think it makes sense

Here's what the 𝕏 Money App (Beta) looks like. • All-black 𝕏 card • Direct deposit • Earn interest on your cash • Cashback on eligible card purchases. Rewards. • Deposits are held by Cross River Bank, Member FDIC and are insured by the FDIC up to $250k per individual

@trsman76 @Tuggernutz87 @SawyerMerritt It’ll be fine.

@Tuggernutz87 @MascotRay @SawyerMerritt The entire thing is odd and as an investor & current owner of 2 Teslas it makes me a bit nervous.

BREAKING: Tesla has increased the price of the Cybertruck dual-motor AWD to $69,990 (up from $59,990), an increase of 16.7%.

@trsman76 @Tuggernutz87 @SawyerMerritt I agree with you. Only thing I can figure is the demand is so high it’s worth aiming higher and dialing it back rather than a second price raise later.

@MascotRay @Tuggernutz87 @SawyerMerritt Raising it 5k would likely have the same effect and would be way more reasonable.

@Tuggernutz87 @SawyerMerritt I mean… they can just lower it later if orders start catching up to deliveries. Their bigger concern is people following through with their orders out to 2027. If you knew canceling was giving up 10k, less likely to do so. It’s whatever.

What a massive mistake. The biggest issue for Cybertruck has always been price. When it was first unveiled it was advertised on multiple trims at great prices. This generated tons of hype. Sadly covid turned the world up side down. Tesla released the Cybertruck at a much higher price and demand fell off of a cliff. Now they release a trim at a much better price and demand surges. Then what do they do ? They increase the price. Are they trying to kill all momentum? Just seems like an own goal.

@TheBoschFawstin @Variety To each their own. Have a good one.

@MascotRay @Variety Saw it, not much better, just fatter

Zack Snyder says "go f*ck yourselves" if you think his fans are toxic and defends "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" as it turns 10 years old. “My 100% honest reaction to ‘BvS’ and how it’s received in the world is… Do you really want a movie that’s had all the edges shaved off it by the focus groups?Do you really want a movie where the decisions have been made in a boardroom, or tested ideas have been rendered for your enjoyment? Do you really want the Kmart version of your story? Is that what you really want?" "When we were trying for the PG-13 rating on ‘BvS,’ the MPAA kept kicking the movie back to us saying, ‘It’s still an R.’ I remember someone saying we got a report from the MPA saying, ‘We just don’t like the idea of Batman fighting Superman. That kind of makes it an R. He really hits him hard with that sink. That’s rude. That feels like an R.’ I’m just like, ‘Okay… let’s just pretend it’s not Batman vs. Superman for one second.' You realize then that we were kicking the zeitgeist in the nuts and that we were going to anger people,” Snyder continued. “Not only do they not want their heroes deconstructed, they don’t want their heroes battling each other on a road to deconstructing the why of their existence. That’s another sacrilege.” (via "Happy Sad Confused") variety.com/2026/film/news…

@TheBoschFawstin @Variety Give the extended edition a chance. I hated the theatrical cut. Ended up loving the EE.

I love Superman and Batman, and Henry Cavill was a great Superman, and Affleck was better than I thought as Batman, and yet I haven’t rewatched it in years because, outside of a moment or two, it’s not good. What it needed was an interested studio that checked a visual director who eschews story.

@infinite_H2O @piovincenzo_ Mine is 8 years old and still charges no issues. I get the concern, but it’s not something to worry about imo. 👍

@piovincenzo_ What happens when the battery dies? Like when it doesn’t hold a charge…

To all the Tesla people: I’m a newbie I ordered the cybertruck when it still said the delivery date was June Can I count on that? Or am I getting it in 2027 like the people that order it today?

@wallstreet4ever @mahkus @fearthedeer87 If you already own a Tesla, then it’s automatically applied on the back end. No need to do anything other than use the same email tied to your existing Tesla account.

@mahkus @fearthedeer87 How do you get that?

I think I might be putting a deposit down for a 2nd Cybertruck. A longer wait time is better for us. Hear me out: Allows us to transfer FSD 14 months from now from our Y Locks in $58,990 price. Only vehicle with capable V2X (grid, home, load) at that price point At worst we lose $250

@SawyerMerritt @realpatmcd Never mind. Apparently I can’t read. You just said it is still good for previous owners. 🤣 Sorry.

@SawyerMerritt @realpatmcd I literally put my order in this afternoon. I did get an email titled “You’re getting loyalty benefits” but I haven’t received anything showing the price breakdown (I also used health provider discount). Is there a way to check that you know of? Or should be good?

NEWS: The $59,990 Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD is no longer eligible for Tesla's referral program, effectively removing the $1k discount for new Tesla owners. It's now only eligible for loyalty benefits. The Cybertruck Premium AWD and Cyberbeast are still eligible for referral discounts/awards and loyalty benefits.
