Every once in a while you work at a company that only hires people who know what they're doing, and suddenly its 20 people doing the same work as 400 somewhere else. There's zero meetings, everyone talks once a week on slack, and you go huh, how much garbage is there actually.

my review of Passengers (2016): it was pretty good. I liked it hope that helps if you were thinking of watching it

My son just called my daughter’s toy bunny stupid. She got really sad, went into another room, and murmured, “you’re not stupid floppy.” 🥺😭

@JasonBotterill really, the idea of timtams

@JasonBotterill I’m mostly here for the timtams

This is not a dating app we wear cartoon characters so we can tell stories together and occasionally shill timtams

@boneGPT @SCHIZO_FREQ many such cases

@SCHIZO_FREQ my one critique is that my mutuals are retarded

This application is where I come to see foreigners stoking racial tensions and African gender bait Recent algorithmic changes have forced me to see posts from mutuals, people who I largely know irl and have to interact with there already. This has made my experience here much less pleasant If leadership at this app continues down this path, I will be forced to move to Africa to replace the service this app used to provide

nice (iykyk)

la guillotine will claim her bloody prize

@ecombeckett I don’t want to spoil it but it doesn’t look good beckett

Just closed Twitter and then unconsciously reopened it right after Investigating the ramifications

@bryan_johnson yes yes utopia is right there if we could just get the chance to properly implement it

This is a practical, thoughtful proposal to win cooperation. And Demis has done an admirable job, personally and professionally, to have the credibility to play this role. Stepping back, I kind of can't believe the craziness of this moment. What's about to happen has never happened. It's not clear the mental models we have of ourselves and the world will be relevant in the future. Each of us is trying our best to use our pattern matching skills to predict what will be. We talk about the immediate things that we can understand like jobs and meaning making, but the scale of what's at stake, I think, is far more consequential than that. It's possible that the speed of it all, plus the increased complexity, will feel bewildering. It's also possible that it will feel natural and intuitive. I do hope that we've hit peak fever pitch in acrimony and division and that we'll turn a corner and become more cooperative.

@jeremymstamper the sub-97-IQ crowd will never understand how lonely and isolating it is to be in the top 3%

Could you be friends with someone who has a below average IQ? I don’t think I could. Is that awful?

this was a reference to Claude from Anthropic. congratulations to the players who caught it

Now I have the full picture.

@TreeLakeRain @ecombeckett bro do not just give away the knowledge, when it’s valuable they will pay for it

@ecombeckett @EthanRom77 It’s a fruit fast

People will believe anything a successful person tells them Like “yeah bro every morning I wear a shock collar and think negative thoughts to train myself to only focus on the goal” And then shock collar sales will spike 200%

@mauddweeb it was time

back on my bullshit

Billy Joel’s decade from 1975-1984 is a top ten ten-year run for any recording artist youtu.be/HaA3YZ6QdJU?si…

@mattbramanti “the light was on”

it's been a few months, so let's try this again tell me your favorite joke, but just the punchline e.g. "sure, we had lunch together"

@goodmorningufo I think it’s probably his sister in law

James Franco Drops His Alien Footage. Crystal clear alien in 4k. James Franco poker face. Either the footage is real or James Franco lost his mind.

huh. this is new (to me at least?) might be useful to keep your followers list clean (if that’s even possible)

@47fucb4r8c69323 …woo

@EthanRom77 a fellow classics enjoyer

Yes! That is *exactly* the question. It's not "to be" or "not to be", it's whether it's nobler: - To suffer the slings, arrows, and barbs of outrageous fortune - To take arms against a sea of troubles, which ends them - To die - To sleep - To dream no more (not just maybe, but perchance) This would end not just the pain but the heartache. And this is key. Those are the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. It is more than consuming, it is a *consummation* that you should wish, not just deeply--but devoutly. And so, the real question ahead of you is: To die? To sleep? Perchance to dream? And there is the rub--for what is in that sleep is *unknowable* What dreams do you think may come?
