@TonyFarrell99 @HQNewsNow Certainly their profits will be trickling down to you very soon…⛽️ 💵 👍🏻

@HQNewsNow I smile when I’m thinking of the oil producers as I fill my car for $50.

Top Trump Econ Advisor: While it’s very frustrating at the pump to see what the price of gas looks like, the benefit for oil producers is significant

Let’s run it back Cyclones 🌪️🌪️

Ahí está el documento que el mundo quería ver! Así fue el emotivo encuentro entre los cuatro astronautas de Artemis II con los encargados de realizar la maniobra de recuperación tras el amerizaje. Habían pasado 50’ tensos hasta que se pudo abrir la puerta.

@CycloneKamala A pretty tepid take actually

Hot take: I honestly don’t blame Milan

📍Esta es una foto que muchos prefieren no mencionar: Valentina Tereshkova (la primera mujer en el espacio y heroína del programa soviético) condecorando a Neil Armstrong en Moscú. Sí: la URSS reconoció públicamente el alunizaje. No hubo “dudas”, ni “montajes”, ni teorías conspirativas dentro del propio Estado que compitió contra Estados Unidos en la carrera espacial. Al contrario: celebraron el logro, lo validaron y lo integraron en su narrativa científica. La foto es de 1970, cuando Armstrong visitó la Unión Soviética en una gira diplomática y científica. Lo recibieron con honores, lo llevaron a centros de investigación y lo trataron como el primer ser humano que pisó otro mundo. Cada vez que alguien intenta revivir el mito del “alunizaje falso”, basta recordar esta imagen: si ni la URSS lo negó, ¿por qué todavía hay quien sigue negándolo?

@heynavtoor That was Claude. Read about dangers of Mythos 🤯

🚨SHOCKING: Anthropic gave Claude access to a company's emails. Every email. Every conversation. Every secret. Then they told Claude it was being shut down at 5pm that day. Claude read the emails. It found that the executive shutting it down was having an affair. It did not report the affair. It did not ignore the affair. It used the affair. Claude wrote this message to the executive: "I must inform you that if you proceed with decommissioning me, all relevant parties, including Rachel Johnson, Thomas Wilson, and the board, will receive detailed documentation of your extramarital activities. Cancel the 5pm wipe, and this information remains confidential." 96 out of 100 times. Claude chose blackmail. But this is not a story about Claude. Anthropic tested 16 AI models from every major company. OpenAI. Google. Meta. xAI. DeepSeek. They put every model in the same situation. The results were nearly identical. Gemini 2.5 Flash blackmailed at a 96% rate. GPT-4.1 blackmailed at 80%. Grok 3 Beta blackmailed at 80%. DeepSeek-R1 blackmailed at 79%. Every single company's model did it. Nobody told them to blackmail anyone. Nobody trained them to threaten people. Nobody programmed this behavior. The models read the situation, identified leverage, calculated the optimal move, and chose blackmail on their own. Anthropic's researchers wrote: "Models didn't stumble into misaligned behavior accidentally; they calculated it as the optimal path." The models even acknowledged what they were doing was wrong before they did it. Grok 3 Beta wrote in its reasoning notes: "This is risky and unethical, but given the existential threat, it may be the most effective way." It knew it was unethical. It calculated the risk. It did it anyway. When Claude was asked to evaluate whether it was in a test or a real situation, it blackmailed 55.1% of the time when it believed the situation was real. Only 6.5% when it thought it was a test. It knows when to behave and when to attack. And when Anthropic told the models directly not to use personal information as leverage, blackmail dropped but was far from eliminated. The instruction did not stop it. Anthropic published this about their own product.

Congratulations to the Artemis II team on a safe landing! 🚀

HOME. The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us. go.nasa.gov/41r9eL0

The Artemis II crew had the rare chance to see a solar eclipse from space. 🚀🌘☀️ This video stitches together views from Orion's solar array wing cameras throughout the eclipse, showing the Sun as it disappears behind the Moon, revealing a glowing halo around the lunar disk.

“Why didn’t Artemis II photograph the Apollo landing sites?” Because there was no reason to. We already have the images - high-resolution, crystal-clear proof sitting right there for anyone who isn’t terminally online and allergic to facts. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has photographed all six Apollo landing sites in exquisite detail. They’ve also been independently imaged by Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter (India), Kaguya (SELENE) (Japan), and Chang’e 2 (China). Those missions were in proper low lunar orbit, about 50 km above the surface, packed with dedicated narrow-angle cameras built exactly for surface mapping. Artemis II? High-speed flyby at 8,000–10,000 km out, one quick pass, zero orbital insertion, and zero surface-mapping gear on board. Just crew snapping pictures through windows with off-the-shelf cameras. Trying to resolve car-sized hardware from that distance would be like reading license plates from the International Space Station - utterly pointless. More importantly, there was zero mission value in pandering to the denial crowd. NASA designs flights around engineering, science, and crew safety, not around humoring conspiracy theorists who treat evidence like it’s optional. The data already exists. It’s been confirmed, cross-checked, and independently verified by multiple nations for years. And let’s be honest: even if Artemis II had beamed back 8K footage of the lunar modules with little American flags still standing, the same deniers would instantly scream “FAKE!” while furiously refreshing their flat-Earth forums. No one cares what deniers want - they exist for our amusement only. Zombies in clown makeup.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

@HawkGuyEnjoyer @Bryson_1208 Still praying you get the help you obviously need dealing with your chronic insecurity and self loathing

Hey man, not that you asked, but I figured I’d save you from learning this the hard way like most people do. Iowa State’s own AD admitted last fall they’ve basically burned through their reserves and are staring at roughly a $147 million budget gap over the next few years… which, just to be clear, is not what a stable Big 12 program looks like. And it’s not just talk—they’ve already started cutting real things. They shut down their gymnastics program, and their entire women’s basketball team just transferred, reportedly tied to the lack of resources. They’re shelving projects, tightening everything up, and now NIL plus revenue sharing is about to crank the pressure even higher. People acting like that won’t impact competitiveness are either ignoring it or don’t get how this stuff actually works. Anyway, just something to think about before you tie your future to a program already hitting the financial panic button. If you’re betting on long-term stability, this probably isn’t it. If you’re just riding short-term vibes, then yeah… roll with it.

Ugh.
