@father_rmv @RorateCaeli Cushing was one of the worst bishops.

Nun Day at Fenway Park was a cherished Boston tradition that dates back to the early 1960s. It originated as a special event organized by the Boston Red Sox, in collaboration with Boston Archbishop Cardinal Richard Cushing, to honor and host hundreds of nuns at a home game. The initiative began with an invitation from Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey to religious communities across greater Boston. Large groups of sisters, often dressed in traditional habits, attended games in significant numbers—such as the approximately 700 nuns who joined Cardinal Cushing for a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on July 5, 1961. The nuns occupied sections in the grandstand, typically on the third-base side, making for a memorable scene. The last major observance of ‘Nun Day’ appears to have occurred around 1972.

@joshshepperd The declining bass line to start Wichita Lineman is amazing.

Carol Kaye is probably the most underrated bass player in history. And probably your favorite bass player that you didn’t realize was your favorite bass player. Do a quick search of every hit that she played on.

@0xJoshua @Simon_Ingari You put it perfectly.

@Simon_Ingari Of all the HR conversations that didn’t happen, this one didn’t happen the most

Manager: We need to terminate Simon immediately. HR Manager: Wow, that’s serious. What happened? Manager: I discovered he is using a mouse mover. HR Manager: A mouse mover? Manager: Yes, it keeps his status “available” when he’s not at his computer working. HR Manager: Okay. Is his work getting done? Manager: Oh yeah, but that’s not the point. HR Manager: Is he meeting deadlines? Manager: Yes. HR Manager: Any performance concerns? Manager: No. HR Manager: So what exactly is the issue? Manager: His status is available when he’s not actively at his desk working. HR Manager: How do you know he’s not working when his status is available? Manager: I messaged him one day last week when he was active, and it took him 35 minutes to reply. HR Manager: Okay, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s using a mouse mover. He could have been working on something else and not seen the message. Manager: Well, after that incident, I asked IT to look into it, and they confirmed he’s using one. Now I track his status throughout the day, and he’s always available. HR Manager: You track his status all day? Manager: Yes, I check it every 10 to 15 minutes. HR Manager: But his work is getting done? Manager: Yes, but the mouse mover is dishonest. HR Manager: And monitoring an employee’s status all day is what exactly? Manager: Good management. HR Manager: Let me get this straight. He completes his work, he meets deadlines, and your problem is that he’s using a mouse mover? Manager: Yes. HR Manager: I don’t think the issue here is the mouse mover. I think the issue here is the mouse watcher. (The manager walks out of the HR office disappointed.)

@ericmmatheny @Cernovich Fire hydrant.

I was in fourth grade during the LA riots when I watched the live newsfeed of Reginald Denny getting ripped out of his truck and getting a brick thrown at his head. Forgive me if I take the more lenient approach to driving through a dangerous crowd.

@Super70sSports But best cover photo.

Still generally regarded as Sports Illustrated’s worst swimsuit issue.

@DavidBCollum Such a great interview.

"You can become what they call you." --Tucker Carlson, peering into my soul

@notjessewalker @Heminator I did not know that.

Some of the replies treat Kerouac's conservative side as a late-life development, but he backed Bob Taft for president in '52 and was pro-McCarthy.

@ASavageNation One of appearances on Firing Line was sad, though (cadre!). I think he realized he’d been used by idiots.

JACK KEROUAC died hating the beatniks, supporting NIXON and America. His legacy has been hijacked by leftist professors who try to paint him as an anti-American hippie. Read ALL of his work, ALL of his interviews.

100%…the onus is not on me to pussyfoot around what offends you, that’s your problem.

@JonathanTurley But will we? I’m not optimistic.

...Our republic is uniquely situated to not only survive but to thrive in the 21st Century. It was conceived in and designed for changing economic conditions. But if we are to survive, we must remain faithful to the constitutional structure that has afforded us stability for more than two centuries.

Thousands of workers are receiving pink slips in an economy that may need fewer and fewer humans. These economic changes are unfolding all around us. We are looking at one of the greatest job losses in history... jonathanturley.org/2026/03/09/fro…

@fingalpimpernel She knows the word “satire” but not its meaning. Oof.

Swift's piece was satire though. He wasn't seriously suggesting that

@thedarkhorsepod @BretWeinstein @HeatherEHeying The driver license department in KS and MO is referred to as the Department of Revenue (DoR).

Add Episode 315 of The Evolutionary Lens with @BretWeinstein and @HeatherEHeying, “Breach of Promise” to your podcast playlist: On this, our 315th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss war, breaches of promise, and manta rays. Why are we at war in Iran, when this president promised “no new wars”? Removing dictators and strongmen from the world is honorable—but will the Iranian people thrive after this move, or will this look more like Iraq? Can we reconcile what Secretary of State Rubio said about why we started the war, versus what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said? Then: Kansas has reversed course on letting put a chosen gender identity on official documents rather than your biological sex—to the good—but they did so in a way guaranteed to create havoc and make things very hard for the people who need to get new IDs. These are people who broke no laws, but are being treated badly by the state as if they did. Finally: manta rays are extraordinary and deeply intelligent; we share footage and words about them.

@timecaptales We had someone like this in KC. He had a summer place in Colorado.

The Texas beggar who turned panhandling into a six-figure income

@profstonge It’s up to him.

Guessing he won’t last long 🤔

@EricRWeinstein @X They are carnival-barkers to the extreme.

I’m being asked what I meant by “Billionaire Porn”. This is my front page of Headlines as determined by @X right now. The platform claimed as the new source of News. There are 3/5 stories about what a tech billionaire thinks. During an unprecedented live military crisis. In the Persian Gulf. 60% of the headlines. This is a proof if you like that we have a serious problem with tech platforms subliminally focusing us without our knowledge on what a tiny powerful group think at all times to the exclusion of all else. We need way way way more balance in this information diet. This is dangerous.

@DavidBCollum Wait, how can a language model not understand recursive syntax?

When you use AI recursively--using output as new input repeatedly--it is shown to erode to total garbage. What are markets? Computers using output to create new input recursively. We are getting slop rather than price discovery.

@Farzin21 What took so long?

He committed 55 penalties for 295 yards as a Chief. He averaged almost 100 penalty yards per season in his 3 years with KC. It was time to cut ties with him.

@_The_Prophet__ If it holds. Indeed. We’re watching mania in realtime. It won’t hold.

⚡️This is the market doing what it always does when it believes a company just found a way to turn uncertainty into margin. A 40 percent cut is a strategic admission that the old operating model is dead. Investors are rewarding three things at once. 1. Cost base reset If you take that much headcount out, you are telling the street you will protect cash flow and EPS even if revenue stays weird. Markets pay for survival math. 2. Signal of a new production function The subtext is AI and tooling. Same output with fewer humans. Or more output with the same core. The market is pricing a new unit economics regime. 3. Credibility event Most companies talk about “focus.” Few will swing the axe hard enough to make it real. The stock pops when “we might” becomes “we did.” This is also a moral injury trade. The market is literally saying: Your people were a cost center. Removing them is bullish. That is the new social contract. Shareholders get the upside first. Workers get the transition later. Governments get the bill after the lag. Also, a move like this is often mechanically amplified. Shorts cover. Systematic flows chase. Momentum funds pile in. The candle prints bigger than the fundamental change on day one. The real question is whether they just cut into muscle. Here is what decides if this pop holds. If it holds Revenue per employee rises. Product velocity stays the same or improves. Customer support and risk do not degrade. They show clean operating leverage for two quarters. If it fails Growth slows while they pretend it is “focus.” Outages, compliance hits, fraud losses, or customer churn rise. The org becomes brittle and political. They quietly rehire in 6 to 12 months at higher comp. My deep take. This is the first clean, public evidence that markets are now pricing “AI enabled headcount compression” as a feature, not a bug. That becomes a template. More CEOs will do it. More stocks will pop on it. White collar labor gets repriced downward in real time. If you want the sharpest lens. The stock did not rally because they fired people. The stock rallied because investors believe the company can still ship without them.

@PaulyTheFrog @KimDotcom Agreed. The carnival barkers have an angle. I call bullshit on LLMs. It should be LCDs (Lowest Common Denominator).

@KimDotcom Not yet Kim, AI is not at the point yet where it can replace White collar work. Agents make more mistakes and leave more security vulnerabilities than a junior programmer. Until that is solved the jobs are safe. Actual devs say AI is shit it's too general. It needs a human.

Your job is gone. x.com/theUMreal/stat…
