My kid's school asked me to donate supplies. Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues. I pay property taxes. My state has a $4 billion surplus. The federal education budget is $238 billion. And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck. And I'm sending in Ziploc bags. We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money. We fund schools with bake sales. And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this Stanford lecture it's the clearest explanation I've seen of how ChatGPT and Claude actually work useful whether you've never touched AI in your life or have been using it every day for the past year I took the key ideas and turned them into a practical guide on how to actually get 100% out of Claude find it below

@tedcruz You could say that about almost every single Trump press conference, social media post, and other utterance.

I wish he hadn’t said this.

As an unusually large man, I can tell you that putting your mass into a shoulder check like this is one of the most satisfying things you can do. Yellow shirt guy will be smiling every time he thinks about this for the rest of his life x.com/SteveInmanClip…

I made a sports geography game where you're asked to pinpoint locations of 5 questions. I'd appreciate if you gave it a shot geosports.app

@effthealgorithm So true. Even the ads have ads now.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Fun fact about Jim Nill. When I was traded to Dallas, my then pregnant wife and I flew down in the summer for a quick press weekend. Jim picked us up at the airport and quite literally gave us a tour of the city in his car. Spent the whole day with us. He’s one of the kindest, and most professional humans in hockey. (His wife Bekki is a gem too)

@whit2wavvy @DallasStars @Patron Need him to actually get back into the game before that can happen

@DallasStars @Patron Incoming Mikko Rantanen Hat Trick

End of one

@TheFizzyMind @Pirat_Nation If you purchased the game license, you should own that license indefinitely. It expiring after not being online for a certain period is BS. People not having issue with it are the ones enabling them to continually take more and more away without lowering the prices.

@Pirat_Nation uhmmm.. excuse me, but i don’t understand what the issue is here? who stays disconnected to the web these days for periods longer than 30 days..? are we not always connected already..?

PlayStation support has confirmed that a new digital rights management policy for the console is intentional, not a glitch. Starting with any digital games purchased after the March 2026 system update, your PS5 will require an internet connection at least once every 30 days to validate the license. If the console stays offline longer than that, the games simply will not launch until you reconnect. This change does not affect any titles already in your library. Setting a console as your primary system also will not bypass the monthly check-in.

@DemzRnuts @BarackObama @NASAArtemis "It doesn't count because they weren't all white men!" That's what you sound like.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

@DemzRnuts @BarackObama @NASAArtemis Idk man, what does being a jackass have to do with science & space travel? Stop peeing in everybody's Cheerios by trying to make everything political.

Someone on threads yesterday said that Stephen Miller is what happens when you bury a dildo in the Pet Sematary.

@chomakovg I'd risk the Oreos. 24 hours is a long time to take care of 360 little cookies and I think the prospect of failing and losing out on the $5M would be plenty enough motivation to push through 😂

Would you take 100k right now or would you take 5 million but you have to eat 10 Oreo packs (36 oreos in a pack) within 24 hours to get that 5 million? You fail, you walk away with nothing.

@DailyLoud Well that was dumb.

@Acyn Hey look, another non-answer from this administration... 🙄

Reporter: When the U.S. Invaded Iraq in 2003, George W Bush said in a message to the Iraqi people that the military campaign was directed against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you. Yesterday, the president threatened to destroy Iran's civilization, the entire civilization, not the Iranian government, but the Iranian civilization. The U.S. Has been a moral leader for most of its history by fighting wars against other governments, not against civilizations. How can the president claim that America can ever have the moral high ground if he's threatening to destroy civilizations? Leavitt: The president absolutely has the moral high ground… for you to suggest otherwise is insulting.
