@WilliamShatner Well said, sir.

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

@JohnCleese Oh, John . . . you taught us so much about irony that I almost wonder if this is just another lesson within a lesson. Sincere respect, but unless you are engaged in some meta-irony by this, you've misunderstood Gad's post.

Does this silly little man not understand that Islam is a very aggressive belief system, threatening death to anyone who does not convert to Islam The Buddhists, the Taoists, the Scottish Presbyterians, the Hindus and the Sikhs and the Confucians and the Catholics don't go around shouting about beheading people they disagree with Is this too much for your tiny little brain to take in ? Oh. The doorbell rang. The police I assume...

@614clinton Commercial fisherman in the gillnet fishery, Area E, Alaska. One man per boat. Introvert's dream job. Pros: Make a decent living, occasionally. Cons: Requires buying a permit and boat, but loans are available. High rate of being killed on the job. Like, really high.

Anyone know of a good job for someone who hates people?

@cryptopunk7213 Sure! Why not? What could go wrong?!

Anthropic fucking killed it (again). biggest ai product launch of the year so far. claude can now control your entire computer autonomously. anything you can do on a computer - claude can. your very own digital employee. - any app, browser, file, spreadsheet, tool claude can intelligently access and operate. - claude controls your entire screen (like a human), no connectors. this is a huge step-up in intelligence. - best part: you can text claude to do things from your phone and it'll do work on your computer! - in the last week anthropic has shipped 9 features that have built up to this: a fully automated digital human. unreal

I wish there was no porn, but let me ask you a question: If you get your wish, who do you trust sufficiently to determine what is "porn" and what is not? The government? What happens when they start using the ban on porn to control speech they don't like? For example: What if I were to describe to you a book that has a scene in it in which two daughters get their father drunk and have sex with him? Sounds like gross incest porn, right? Nope: Genesis 19:30–38. Imagine a far left government using the porn ban to ban the Bible, or require "redacted" versions of the Bible to protect the innocent. Censorship is always tempting, but the costs always, always outweigh the benefits.

Ban pornography and OnlyFans. No one should open an app and see people having sex or objectifying themselves. Freedom of speech does not extend to sex work. Nobody wants to see it. Ban it.

The Cadets from Old Dominion University who stopped an active shooter, received 8 Meritorious Service Medals. Two of them received Purple Hearts…from the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Secretary of the Army. Absolutely amazing and well deserved.

The current chaos at airports is just another argument for privatizing airport security. TSA agents are horrible at their jobs. The DHS admitted back in 2017 that, when tested, TSA misses up to EIGHTY PERCENT of weapons and contraband smuggled through screening. And now we have to wait in line for three hours because funding for an incompetent agency with an 80 percent failure rate is being held hostage. The whole thing is insane. Get the government out of airport security. They suck at it. And it's just another bargaining chip these sociopaths can use for their own political agendas.

What would make this even better?

@columtyrrell I don't think anyone knows, man. So many things are changing so fast that I think anyone who acts like they know what the next year or two has in store for the economy should be assumed to be full of shit.

I’m dumb, please help me with. There is gonna be a huge economic crash soon right? Is now a good time or terrible time to buy a house? Failed Comedian is a recession proof job so I’m good regardless.

@elonmusk The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Mass drivers on the Moon!

@billybinion Amen!

Just get rid of the TSA. Tests have repeatedly shown that it misses the vast majority of explosives anyway. It's mostly a form of security theater that makes everyone's lives more annoying. Abolish and privatize.

To all my gym goers… What’s the one exercise that changed your physique the most? 💪🏾

Once I was very ill. I could not exercise because of a bad lung infection. So I did something that’s helped me ever since. In that moment of being ill, I projected a thought to all future versions of myself that are healthy and capable of exercising, but don’t want to. I said to my future self “you ungrateful son of a bitch, this version of you would give anything to be able to do what you are whining about.” and it worked. Now whenever my inner bitch whines about going to the gym, I just remember being that ill and wanting more than anything else to be able to work out, but not being able to.

People who exercise even when they don't feel like it, what's your trick?

@OjasSharma276 I sincerely hope you are right.

Three years from now, we’ll look back at these AI days and laugh remembering how we once thought AI would take all our jobs. I can already feel it.

@dmbkparker No way. I “flew” a simulator at a military conference once and crashed immediately and repeatedly. It’s harder than it looks.

Do you think if I put you in a helicopter you could successfully takeoff and land? No instruction. You can watch as many YouTube videos as you want before we go.

@mattvanswol Ever notice how formatting is a dead give away for AI-generated content?

They both suck in equal but non-identical ways. Extreme heat usually comes with pleasant amounts of daylight. Extreme cold comes with unpleasant amounts of darkness. On the other hand, you can put on sufficient clothing and go out skiing, etc. in the cold. Even in a bathing suit extreme heat sucks. The geese had this shit figured out a long time ago. Go South in the Winter, go North in the Summer.

Can we all agree that extreme cold is better than extreme heat??

@IrvingNick33 I realize I don't spend enough time at the range to safely carry.

If you're a law abiding US citizen, what's stopping you from carrying everywhere you go??? Especially in times like today?

@AntonioSabatoJr Exumas Bahamas, Bahamas Land and Sea Park. It's unreal. Like you're in a movie, or a commercial or something. It's so beautiful and perfect some part of your brain keeps telling you it's fake.

@Azel_OhWell @CinemaTweets1 Well said. Also, the weird fetish stuff really started to kick in during this film.

It is a terrible sequel. The end of the first film involves Neo flying in front of every human still connected to the matrix. That should’ve shattered their reality. That is where the sequel should have begun. But instead, it resets everything from the beginning and simply introduces the same enemy in a new form. Lame as fuck.

I rewatched the The Matrix Reloaded on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago last week & it was electric. Exceptionally fast flight. I will forever continue to wonder why this movie isn’t mentioned as an all-time great sequel. There are 4 sequences that are visually jaw-dropping.
