Don't believe anything Trump tells Iran. He doesn't telegraph his punches. On June 20th he said he was giving Iran 2 weeks👇 . He bombed Fordo 2 DAYS later.

@bonchieredstate The cops probably demanded his "getting stabbed" permit.

Police show up. One guy is standing around, having just stabbed someone, but claims he did it because of "racial abuse." The other guy has been seriously stabbed. Instead of getting the victim help, they arrest him and leave him to bleed out. The UK: A conquered country.

@OHWallStreet Yep. Every weekly task review meeting lol.

*unmutes* “nothing from my end thanks”

Look I'm all here for this, but this would be like if Hollywood in the year 1985 made a movie about a toy that was popular in 1965. Hollywood be promoting a Ball In Cup film right now if they think it would make them a profit. That's the kind of time disparity we're talking about with Hollywood making a he-man movie in the year 2026.

God bless Thomas Massie. He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity. As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.

@therobbieharvey LOL my my whomever could he be speaking of?

NEW: Chud The Builder’s Attorney Releases Statement. 🧵 I’m releasing it as it was posted. I’ve made no edits.

@ingelramdecoucy Larry McMurtry put nine different words for peen in Lonesome Dove and pinecone didn't make the list.

Yesterday I didn’t know what Massie called his peen. That was a good day, I didn’t even know how good I had it and now it’s gone.

@RonnieAdkins "THE OLD GUYS"💀💀💀💀 I don't consider myself "old" but my enlistment ended without ever having heard the word "reticle" lol.

Taught a class to my unit this weekend and the old guys in the room were really uncomfortable about it

@MidwestHumanist @GarrettHerrin @umichvoter Younger people have absolutely no idea what to major in, what kind of skillset they'll need to become upwardly mobile when AI may make those hard-won skills worthless in 4 years. With AI taking entry-level jobs and no idea how to plan their career, they have a dim view of AI.

@GarrettHerrin @umichvoter Interesting that younger people are more skeptical of technology than older folks. Probably a lot more fear of employment opportunities drying up, while those that are retired or nearing retirement aren’t thinking about that as much.

Pretty notable partisan and age divides on the topic of AI in this morning's NYT/Siena poll. Is AI mostly bad? 🔵 DEM: 42% ⚪ IND: 36% 🔴 GOP: 27% 18-29: 47% 30-44: 43% 45-64: 32% 65+: 24%

@GarrettHerrin It's pretty telling. The boomers and older Gen X are feeling like they got the last chopper out of Saigon.

@bigbluefan_m @Moms4Liberty By the way, I had to actively search for your reply. I actually thought you had quit using X but the algorithm's been removing normal conservatives from my feed and replacing them with "conservatives" who retweet Mayor Mamdani and oppose every single thing Trump says.

@Moms4Liberty Which religion?

John Adams warned that freedom without morality cannot last. A Constitution built for a moral people cannot survive if virtue disappears.

@bigbluefan_m @Moms4Liberty The religion of peace of course!

@snobcollective @Katelyn_Caralle Don't worry kids, the police will be here soon.

@Katelyn_Caralle Ummm, you should put your daughter behind you and not in front of you in harms way.

Bystanders (including young children) get cornered as teens break out into a violent altercation at the Navy Yard Chipotle in SE Washington, DC.

@pwlappert61901 @TimOnPoint It's 2026. No need for sexist language. It was an "airwomanship" failure.

Hornet demo at an airshow. Nearest Hornet base is Whidbey Island WA, about 1hr flying time away. These are always low-key demos. This collision is a pretty simple airmanship failure. Two jets joining up at low speed. The jet inside the turn loses sight and descends into the other. Just like the collision between the P-39 and the B-17 a couple of years back.

I understand and completely support the mission of the Blue Angels, but why is there a Growler Demonstration Team? Seems like that’s an unnecessary risk of critical personnel and technology.

@z4v3n @deedydas It's going to be weird watching the engineering, programming and IT types who have sneered for decades "a liberal arts degree will get you a job at McDonald's" ending up applying to McDonald's only to be replaced by AI again.

@deedydas tbh I think this is the result of a lack of classical education - if young people learn essentially nothing but engineering in school, how can they have any perspective on what life is outside that narrow lens?

The vibes in SF feel pretty frenetic right now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I've ever seen. Over the last 5yrs, a group of ~10k people - employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders - have hit retirement wealth of well above $20M (back of the envelope AI estimation). Everyone outside that group feels like they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there. Worse yet, layoffs are in full swing. Many software engineers feel like their life's skill is no longer useful. The day to day role of most jobs has changed overnight with AI. As a result, 1. The corporate ladder looks like the wrong building to climb. Everyone's trying to align with a new set of career "paths": should I be a founder? Is it too late to join Anthropic / OpenAI? should I get into AI? what company stock will 10x next? People are demanding higher salaries and switching jobs more and more. 2. There’s a deep malaise about work (and its future). Why even work at all for “peanuts”? Will my job even exist in a few years? Many feel helpless. You hear the “permanent underclass” conversation a lot, esp from young people. It's hard to focus on doing good work when you think "man, if I joined Anthropic 2yrs ago, I could retire" 3. The mid to late middle managers feel paralyzed. Many have families and don't feel like they have the energy or network to just "start a company". They don't particularly have any AI skills. They see the writing on the wall: middle management is being hollowed out in many companies. 4. The rich aren’t particularly happy either. No one is shedding tears for them (and rightfully so). But those who have "made it" experience a profound lack of purpose too. Some have gone from <$150k to >$50M in a few years with no ramp. It flips your life plans upside down. For some, comparison is the thief of joy. For some, they escape to NYC to "live life". For others still, they start companies "just cuz", often to win status points. They never imagined that by age 30, they'd be set. I once asked a post-economic founder friend why they didn't just sell the co and they said "and do what? right now, everyone wants to talk to me. if i sell, I will only have money." I understand that many reading this scoff at the champagne problems of the valley. Society is warped in this tech bubble. What is often well-off anywhere else in the world is bang average here. Unlike many other places, tenure, intelligence and hard work can be loosely correlated with outcomes in the Bay. Living through a societally transformative gold rush in that environment can be paralyzing. "Am I in the right place? Should I move? Is there time still left? Am I gonna make it?" It psychologically torments many who have moved here in search of "success". Ironically, a frequent side effect of this torment is to spin up the very products making everyone rich in hopes that you too can vibecode your path to economic enlightenment.

@bonchieredstate 48 hours before Midnight Hammer:

Every day is yesterday.

@nicksortor I guess this didn't work this time.

BREAKING: Two US Navy fighter jets have just had a MID-AIR COLLISION during the air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho It appears all four crew members punched out of the aircraft, which then fell to the ground and exploded. Pray for the crew. Their conditions are unknown.

@ZeroSpinTexan @nicksortor Either too much or not enough of this going on!

@nicksortor WTF? Do our pilots just suck now or not enough training. I hope the pilots are fine.

@ctdonath @TFTC21 @AAC0519 No, the task is getting done. He's firing their asses. If they want to "compete with AI" their 7 figure analysis skills will be best served find ways to sabotage data centers 😆

@TFTC21 @AAC0519 This 7-figure analysis will not simply step aside for AI. They will embrace AI as a tool to reach a new level of analysis & productivity. This is the problem with “AI will replace jobs” hysteria: the work doesn’t just end there, it opens new greater opportunities, leveling up.

Ken Griffin went home on a Friday "fairly depressed" after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days. His words: "These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI." This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now. The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents "the biggest unlock" in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.

@Johnny_Joey It was such an unnecessary pain and now I miss it so much.

And a prouder few understand why.

@gummibear737 You're "hoping" he's just trolling them. This rando doubts it. BUT it's not fair to say it's a false hope since there is one precedent. Two days before Midnight Hammer we got this banger from Trump😆😆 apnews.com/article/israel…

Trump has seemingly handled the Iran ceasefire so poorly that I can’t help but think there’s something in all of this that I’m not getting… At this point I think he’s just trolling them into a false sense of security
