@paraschopra 🤯 I had a STepfather named STeve.
Not a bad man, but I didn’t like him because he was stiff, staid, stoic, stubborn, stern, stale…
No joke. Every word that came to mind about Steve started with st….
This post scratches an itch on my back that I’ve never been able to reach.

Ok, so I learned that these are called phonesthemes :)

Today I learned that in English: words starting with "gl-" often relate to light: gleam, glint, glance, glare, glaze, glimpse, glitter, gloss, glower, glisten, glaze, glitz, glazed. words starting with "sn-" often relate to nose: sniff, sneeze, snuff, snore, snort, snot.

@adgirlMM This is one of those “show me without showing me” things.
You have clearly never worked in politics.
Never volunteered long term on a campaign.
Never seen how the hot dog is actually made.
You think political experience equals expertise in things beyond chronyism.

Dear Los Angeles,
See what's going on in Garden
Grove? This is the type of crisis
situation mayors (and governors) have to deal with.
It's very serious, and requires an understanding of how to work with authorities and the ability to make informed decisions quickly - because people's lives are at stake.
Sure, it's Orange County.
But LA is always one earthquake, one terror attack, one violent riot, or one uncontained wildfire away from the next crisis.
Choose someone with more experience than being on a reality tv show, and selling crystals.

Before the @WSOP starts…
I feel like we should all take pity on @RealNormanAChad and help him get his 58k followers back for his @NormanChad account… it was hacked and no one is helping him...
This is like poker charity..
The poor guy is not being heard..
effectively silenced..
Wait.. I mean... is that bad thing? 😂
We can help by liking this post, retweeting and mentioning t @Support + @elonmusk
It’s been held hostage by hackers for 4 months..
Let's do one good thing this year before we all meet and try to take each others chips!
Let's get Norman’s real account back!
One reply/retweet = one virtual buy-in to the cause.

It’s almost like they’ve had this for decades but just sat on it until they got the population fat enough to make it a necessity.

Retatrutide phase 3 obesity trial just came out and the results are genuinely insane: - 28.3% bodyweight lost on 12mg over 80 weeks - 70.3 pounds on avg. or 31.9 kg - 45.3% of patients hit 30%+ weight loss (this is bariatric surgery territory) - 30.3% weight loss (85 lbs) at 104 weeks in higher-BMI patients - 65.3% of 12mg patients dropped below the obesity BMI threshold - 19% loss on 4mg over 80 weeks (47.2 lbs) with fewer dropouts than placebo (4.1% vs 4.9%) - significant drops in blood pressure, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol, waist circumference, and hsCRP - no cardiac or liver signals Retatrutide is going to completely overshadow tirzepatide and semaglutide, and take the throne as the best-selling drug of all time.

@latimes How does the LA Times profit from social decay? Why would they promote this?
Is it just the same outrage algorithm as the internet?
The LA Times makes more money based on how many people are miserable and pissed off?
Why else support death and collapse?

"Pratt’s loudest fans fundamentally loathe modern-day L.A., and that should chill all other Angelenos," writes The Times' columnist Gustavo Arellano.

@muskonomy So you can alter the Earth -1m tons and the Moon +1m tons, and it doesn’t affect the gravitational relationship at all?
At what mass does it change?

NEWS: Elon Musk laid out SpaceX's core mission in precise terms during his Forbes interview, describing the specific test he uses to define a genuinely self-sustaining civilization beyond Earth.
If resupply ships from Earth stop arriving for any reason, does the civilization on the Moon or Mars continue to grow or does it collapse? Passing that test is the actual goal, not simply putting humans on another planet.
To reach it, Elon estimates humanity needs to deliver roughly 1 million tons of cargo to the Moon or Mars to build sufficient industrial capacity.
He was careful to define what multi-planetary actually means. It is not about leaving Earth and relocating somewhere else. That would simply be a single-planet civilization in a harder place to live. The goal is for humanity to extend outward while keeping Earth intact, eventually becoming a spacefaring civilization spread across multiple worlds.
SpaceX's Starship, targeting full reusability as early as this year, is the vehicle Musk says makes the million-ton goal physically achievable. He described this as a "fundamental breakthrough" he hopes to see happen in 2026.

NEWS: Elon Musk calls the OpenAI jury ruling "somewhat dubious" and confirms the appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The jury ruled on statute of limitations only. It never rendered a verdict on whether unjust enrichment occurred. Musk's warning: if a nonprofit can quietly convert into an $800 billion for-profit company and face no legal consequences, it sets a precedent that undermines all charitable giving in America. "We necessarily have to appeal. People can essentially loot charities and use this case as a basis for doing so."

@jMcMurtrie18 @hashjenni You sound like you have a weak support system.
English
@hashjenni Y’all replying with things like “goodness” or “niceness”…
All that matters is respect.
Do you look and act like you respect yourself. Like you care? Your grooming, hygiene, language, body language.
Do you contribute to the world around you?
People want to support that.
English
@hashjenni No what we all realize is that people have no support system BECAUSE they operate completely differently than average people.
Don’t act like a jackass your whole life, act like you respect yourself and others, and watch how big your support system gets.

@_No_Russian_ The entire post-Internet generations seem to think it’s a crime that they just can’t swoop into LA or NY or SF and live the glamourous Intstafluencer life.

At 4 am this morning, as I laid in a deep slumber, I was called to action by my wife who had discovered a spider the size of a half dollar in the bathroom. Without hesitation I arose to combat the intruder. Claire handed me the slant board I’ve been using for rehab, and I immediately knew the spider had no chance. It took but 1 attempt to strike down my opponent. I received hugs and kisses for my bravery and fell back asleep with confidence. Have a day gentlemen. 🕷️
