Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@jaezun_ @googlechrome if vertical tabs was the only reason you used arc

#1 gatekept feature launch of April 2026: vertical tabs in @googlechrome bye bye Arc, forever

@n2parko The loop in Cursor is just so much more satisfying plus this is huge imo👇 x.com/btn0s/status/2…

lenny knows

Narrative violation: Finding it's more fun to work within Cursor than in the native Codex or Claude Code apps. Not a massive difference, but just enough to keep me there. And obviously easier to play with new competing models as they come out. Nice work, Cursor.

Craftsmanship has never ever EVER in the history of mankind been a practice in which you choose one single tool and use it for everything. Choose the right tool for the job, and choose a workshop where you can access them easily (hint: @cursor_ai)

I think at some rate product designers lost the plot. We were meant to be inventors, thinkers, and a bridge between humans and the message or invention. We aren’t meant to merely declutter, simplify, or make things pretty. Designers are meant to make the very thing humans will be working with, in every imaginable way possible. We are not rectangle builders, we are not pixel pushers, we are inventors and builders pushing to communicate to humans or let humans communicate to our inventions.

@wesbos @ImLunaHey another reason it’s such a shame @browsercompany killed Arc

the new CSS border-shape API makes this possible!

@anjulipie @boneGPT to be honest in today's algorithmic society having blunted dopamine receptors feels like it might be a good thing haha

Completely understood. I believe in doing what needs to be done to break cycles - and if it’s not me it is 100% not mine to decide! However I do enjoy being a little cheeky on X… Also, I am super curious as to the long term effects of the glp-1 agonists on dopamine levels/processing.

LLMs will be like “this character does not have a specific regional accent, her accent is one typical to CDMX” and that’s why i’m having a really hard time taking anything they say seriously right now

@btn0s_computer hey hey, respond when you see this

hello @btn0s

I will not apologize for who I become when this game drops. I've been waiting for a next gen podracer for DECADES

i get a lot of inspiration from first glances: usually blurry, and it turns out the thing isn't what i thought it was at all. but that first instant, mostly-hallucinated vision my brain conjured up is the idea im after.

@JohnPhamous how do these work? when are they run?

with evals

we made a skill to help coding agents + humans write & design in the vercel way - how to write and use our design system - consistent terminology and workflows - clear & concise writing

I’m investing in robotics and autonomous software for robots. There are only two possible outcomes: the Bicentennial Man future or the The Terminator one.

@_kittylove3 @KevinNaughtonJr portless —tailscale

@KevinNaughtonJr then how to access gui like work in frontend development also mobile development?

one of the many reason why you should do all your development remotely over ssh -open and close your devices and work continues in the cloud -connect and disconnect freely on all your different machines (including phone) and pick up exactly where you left off -increases your battery life since nothing runs locally -never need to reconfigure machines since the only one that matters is in the cloud -worry less about your stuff: if something gets lost/stolen/breaks you won't care (aside from cost) since you machines are just portals to your remote devbox -if you're ever without wifi you can work locally if you sync your files across devices with syncthing and changes are synced when you're back online -many other benefits of having a cloud machine like using tailscale with it as a VPN/exit node and much more try this workflow for a couple months and i guarantee you'll never go back to developing software locally

Rooting for @github. They’ve given me years of free infra. happy to give them some time to figure this out. You got this.
