The greatest thing Japan has ever produced is not in fact Anime or any type of food, but a show about toddlers walking clear across their towns to run errands all by themselves. This is the true Japan, safe enough to send your child off by themselves knowing they’ll be safe.

GOOD MORNING GIVEAWAY! I can’t express how grateful I am to be surrounded by such incredible friends and a great community of awesome people! I want to give back to you all! There are a lot of naked guns out there that need some love! Im going to randomly pick one person who comments and send them a Holosun 407c green dot and a TLR-1 HL light to kit out there gun and give them some extra capability! MUST BE FOLLOWING! Maybe ship out a @B_1Tactical holster with it 👀. Giveaway ends one week from today!

@SwiftOnSecurity Same. I had one that ran for so long. Work threw it away and I rescued it. It NEVER gave me issues. Now I have a crappy Brother MFP that requires 1 hour of troubleshooting every time I try to use it. RIP

I still have no idea why they decided some terrible Ricoh MFP was the better option. I was the executioner for the printer that had followed that department for years and building moves. I still think about you, HP LaserJet. I wish I could remember your hostname to tell them.

I was so upset about a venerable HP LaserJet I was being made to retire I took a picture of it in the cart as I took it away.

@gothburz "I said my work product requires a level of precision that benefits from direct authorship." Brilliant.

I am the Vice President of Output Accountability at Microsoft. I report to nobody with that title because the title did not exist until I created it. The title is necessary. The outputs are not accountable to anyone. Someone should be. Our Terms of Service for Copilot include the phrase "for entertainment purposes." I wrote that language. Not personally. I approved the deck that approved the committee that approved the language. The language says the outputs "may not be accurate." The language says the user is "solely responsible" for whatever the outputs do. We charge $30 a month. Entertainment is the word we use for things we sell but do not stand behind. The customer types a prompt. The product generates a response. The response may be correct. It may not. The Terms of Service do not distinguish between these outcomes. Both are entertainment. That is entertainment. JPMorgan uses Copilot. Accenture uses Copilot. The Department of Defense has a contract. A law firm in Charlotte is drafting client memos with it. A hospital system in Ohio is summarizing patient intake forms. These are entertainment activities. The Terms of Service are very clear. I want to be precise about the architecture. Marketing calls Copilot a "productivity tool." The website says "your everyday AI companion." The enterprise sales deck — the one I have on my desktop in a folder called Q4 GTM FINAL v11 — says "reinvent how your organization works." The case studies say "efficiency." The ROI calculator says "hours saved." The keynote said "copilot for work." The Terms of Service say entertainment. These are not contradictory. They are complementary. The sales language describes what the customer hopes the product will do. The legal language describes what we acknowledge it does. The customer pays for the first. The contract delivers the second. The $30 is the gap between those two sentences. That is entertainment. A compliance officer at a bank in London — I will call her Diana because that is not her name — emailed my team last quarter. She had been using Copilot to generate compliance summaries. A compliance summary is a document that a regulator reads to determine whether the bank followed the law. Diana's team had generated 1,400 of them. She found the "entertainment purposes" clause on page nineteen of the Terms of Service. She called her outside counsel. Her outside counsel called our Legal. Our Legal said the Terms of Service are the Terms of Service. Diana asked if the outputs were reliable. Our Legal said the outputs were entertaining. Diana asked what "entertaining" means when a regulator reads a compliance summary generated by a tool that disclaims its own accuracy. Our Legal said that is a question for Diana's legal team. Diana's legal team is the one that signed the Terms of Service. She stopped emailing. That is entertainment. Accurate is a product feature. Entertainment is a legal position. We do not sell accuracy. We sell a tool that may produce accuracy. If it does, that is a feature. If it doesn't, that is also a feature. The Terms of Service make no distinction. This is elegant. I am told this is elegant. I say this at conferences. I have a slide that says "elegant" in Segoe UI Light, white text on a blue gradient. It gets applause. A product manager named Kevin on the Copilot team sent an email to the internal alias last November. Subject line: "Question about the gap." The body was two sentences. The first sentence asked why the marketing page says "essential" and the legal page says "entertainment." The second sentence asked if anyone had modeled what happens when a customer sues. I replied. I said the marketing page and the legal page serve different audiences. He asked what happens when the audiences overlap. I said we have a process for that. He asked what the process is. I said it is the Terms of Service. Kevin transferred to Azure DevOps in January. His role on Copilot was absorbed into a cross-functional initiative. The initiative does not have a Slack channel. That is entertainment. My team tracks something we call the Confidence Adoption Index. It measures how many enterprise customers integrate Copilot into production workflows. The number goes up every quarter. We do not track how many of those workflows involve regulated industries, legal documents, medical records, or financial disclosures. We track adoption. Adoption is a volume metric. Volume does not have a liability column. I have a dashboard on my second monitor. It shows three numbers: monthly active enterprise users (14.2 million), monthly subscription revenue ($426 million), and customer-initiated liability claims (this field is blank — we route those to a different team and I do not have access). The dashboard has a green header that says "Copilot: Delivering Value." I check it every morning. Two of the three numbers go up. The third number I cannot see. We had 545 comments on Hacker News last week. The thread title was approximately "Copilot's Terms of Service say entertainment purposes only." This is not a crisis. This is discovery. The Terms of Service have always said this. The customers have always signed them. The gap between what the marketing says and what the contract says is not new. It is the product. I do not use Copilot for my own work. My reports — the ones about Output Accountability — are written manually. My team uses Google Docs. I was asked about this once, at an internal review. I said my work product requires a level of precision that benefits from direct authorship. Nobody asked a follow-up question. Entertainment means: we built it, we sold it, we marketed it as essential, we disclaim it as unreliable, and the $30 means you agreed. I was promoted last quarter. My scope now includes the Output Accountability frameworks for three additional product lines. Each one has the same Terms of Service. Each one has a different marketing page. Each marketing page uses the word "reinvent." Each Terms of Service uses the word "entertainment." I have a laminated card in my wallet that lists all four product lines and their disclaimers. I check it before every conference talk. The card is worn at the edges. I do not find this ironic. I find it operational. I am the disclaimer. I have always been the disclaimer. That is accountability. That is entertainment.

Cuadra por cuadra... tardará un poco, pero quedará hermoso.

@brianw012345678 @TheQuartering Well done, sir.

You should get a cantilever mount, and pull the scope back so that the mount sits behind this part where the handguard joins the receiver. You don’t have back up iron sights so space isn’t a concern, but if you have your mount sitting partially on the free float handguard, you zero will probably shift around. Also, not sure what the eye relief on that scope is but I can’t imagine it’s great with how far forward it’s mounted. Pulling it back will also get you a better sight picture

The FDA says 7-Hydroxymitragynine is an addictive opioid. Thirteen times more potent than morphine. The FDA said this in July of 2025. In July of 2025, the FDA also asked the DEA to classify it as Schedule I. Schedule I. The same category as heroin. It is February of 2026. Seven months later. The DEA has not acted. 7-OH is still sold over the counter. At gas stations. At convenience stores. At vape shops. As pills. As drinks. As gummies. As candy. Candy. An opioid thirteen times more potent than morphine is sold as candy at gas stations in thirty-seven states. There are no age restrictions. There is no dosing information. There is no purity testing. There is no FDA-approved use for this substance in any drug, any food, or any dietary supplement. The FDA has said this. The FDA has also said it could repeat fentanyl's trajectory. Dr. Marty Makary, the FDA Commissioner, said that. On the record. Fentanyl killed over seventy thousand Americans in a single year. The FDA Commissioner says this substance could follow the same path. And it is next to the Slim Jims. The product is derived from kratom. A Southeast Asian plant. In its natural leaf form, kratom contains about two percent 7-OH. The products at gas stations are not two percent. They are concentrated. Lab-enhanced. Often synthetic. The manufacturers take the plant, extract the compound that makes it an opioid, amplify it, and put it in a package that looks like an energy supplement. The package does not say "opioid." The package says "natural." Thirteen states and the District of Columbia have banned it. Thirty-seven states have not. In those thirty-seven states, the process for obtaining an opioid thirteen times stronger than morphine is: Walk into a gas station. Pay. Leave. No prescription. No ID. No pharmacist. No conversation. No database entry. No limit on quantity. Wyoming is considering a ban. Because people died. Kansas is considering classifying it as Schedule I. Because people died. The legislative trigger for regulation is death. Not the FDA calling it an addictive opioid. Not the FDA asking the DEA to schedule it. Not the FDA Commissioner comparing it to fentanyl. Death. Death is the threshold. The FDA identified the risk in July of 2025. Seven months later the product is next to the lottery tickets. The system that regulates what Americans can put in their bodies has determined that this substance is an addictive opioid thirteen times more potent than morphine, has asked the enforcement agency to ban it, has compared it to the deadliest drug crisis in American history, and has then watched it be sold as candy at a Shell station for seven consecutive months. The DEA has not commented. The gas stations have not stopped selling it. The gummies are still on the rack. The FDA's assessment is on a website. The gummies are on a counter. The counter is winning.

I am the House Ethics Committee. I keep the record. Here is what the record shows, in order: 2018: Congress passes a rule. HR 6395, Section 3. The rule prohibits sexual contact between members and staff. I am created to enforce it. I file the rule. The rule is filed. 2024: A congressman texts a young staffer requesting explicit photos. The texts say "sexy pic." The staffer is in her twenties. The congressman is in his forties. The texts are on a government phone. 2024: The staffer replies: "This is going too far boss." 2025: The staffer dies by suicide. 2026: I am "notified." 2026: The congressman is serving. Not a sentence. His term. That is the record. I keep it. I keep it carefully. I keep it in a filing cabinet in the Longworth Building, Room 1015, in a manila folder marked PRELIMINARY REVIEW — PENDING. Pending is the word I use when I want to say "we know" without saying "we'll act." The congressman votes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He attends subcommittee hearings. He has a parking spot in the Rayburn garage. He shakes hands with constituents who do not know about the texts. He will do this for the duration of my review. My review will take months. The rule was broken in weeks. The staffer's life ended before my review began. My review is the consequence. There is no other consequence. In my entire history — fifty-seven years — I have expelled five members. The last one was 2002. Twenty-four years ago. I meet weekly. I expel per decade. I act on behalf of the American people. That is what it says in my charter. "On behalf of the American people." The American people have a 28% approval rating of Congress. 71% disapprove. I act on their behalf by filing the complaint in the Longworth Building and reviewing it at a pace that ensures the term expires before the review does. Acting on behalf of the American people is too much to ask. So I act on behalf of the institution. The institution's primary interest is the institution. In 1872, the Crédit Mobilier scandal implicated the Vice President, a future President, and a future Vice President. Congress censured two members. Did not expel. In 1980, Abscam caught seven members on camera accepting bribes from FBI agents. Convictions. Not expulsions. In 2026, Senator Menendez faces bribery charges. Representative Cuellar faces bribery charges. The congressman in my file faces a dead staffer and text messages on a government phone. The institution is consistent. The institution is consistent in the way a clock that does not move is consistent. It is always the same time. The time is: later. But bribery is the gentle file. The other file is thicker. The other file is the one about the bodies. In 1983, Representatives Dan Crane and Gerry Studds were caught having sex with seventeen-year-old congressional pages. Children. In the building. Congress censured them. Did not expel. Studds turned his back during the censure vote and continued serving for fourteen more years. Fourteen years. The page was seventeen. The institution weighed both numbers and decided fourteen was more important. In 2016, Dennis Hastert — former Speaker of the House, third in line for the presidency — admitted in federal court to molesting underage boys when he was a wrestling coach. He had paid $1.7 million in hush money. He served fifteen months. For the financial crime. Not the boys. The institution did not investigate Hastert while he was Speaker. The institution did not investigate Hastert after he was Speaker. The institution knew. The institution always knows. Knowing is not the same as acting. I should know. Knowing is my entire job. In 2023, the DOJ closed its investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz and the alleged sex trafficking of a seventeen-year-old girl. No charges. The Ethics Committee investigated. Gaetz resigned before the report was released. The report was shelved. He was nominated for Attorney General. The institution shrugged. The institution shrugs the way a building settles. Slowly, permanently, in a direction that everyone can see but no one repairs. And then there is Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein trafficked children to the most powerful people in the world. Some of those people work in this building. Everyone knows this. No one will say which ones. The client list has not been fully released. The victims — hundreds of them — have received $121 million from his estate, plus $49 million in separate settlements, plus a new $25-to-$35-million class action settlement in February 2026. The estate paid without admitting wrongdoing. "Without admitting wrongdoing" is the institution's native language. I speak it fluently. The victims asked for names. The victims asked for justice. The victims received settlements. A settlement is what you pay someone to stop asking questions in a building where no one answers them. Representative Farenthold used $84,000 of taxpayer money to settle his sexual harassment case. Taxpayer money. The taxpayers did not consent. The settlement was not disclosed until reporters found it. The Office of Congressional Workplace Rights processed the payment. The office is named Congressional Workplace Rights. The name is aspirational. The 2018 rule exists so that someone, somewhere, can say it exists. That someone is me. I just said it. I said it after Hastert. I said it after Gaetz. I said it after Epstein's victims begged Congress for a hearing. I am saying it now, after the staffer. I will say it again. Saying it is what I do. It is the only thing I do. Seventy-one percent of Americans disapprove of this body. I do not take that personally. They disapprove because they believe Congress should function. I know better. Congress functions perfectly. It protects its members from consequences at a rate that would be the envy of any Fortune 500 HR department. Five expulsions in fifty-seven years. That is not a failure rate. That is a success rate. We retain 99.99% of our workforce regardless of performance. The record is complete. The record shows everything. The record changes nothing. I am the Ethics Committee. I act on behalf of the American people. The American people did not ask for this. Nobody asked for this. The staffer asked for it to stop. The staffer said "this is going too far boss." The record shows the request. The record does not show a response. The record is impeccable. The staffer is dead.

@Fat_Electrician The brain dead, lack of reading comprehension replies to this tweet are... Extraordinary.

Prediction: Property taxes on paid-off homes will be abolished or dramatically reduced within 5–10 years. Logic: Democracy = most votes wins. Largest voting bloc? Boomers. Politicians cater to the largest bloc. For years, boomers wanted home values to go up, so policies restricted new housing, driving up home values. Now many Boomers are retiring on fixed incomes and struggling to afford property taxes on those inflated values. Political pressure shifts: reduce or eliminate property taxes. Government cant afford to do it for everyone, so they’ll just do it for “paid off homes” to make boomers happy.

Thank you, Jesus!

@PalmerLuckey @tbpn I've a 20+ year career in IT at financial institutions. I'm very familiar with the regulatory requirements. I'd love to work for a company you run. Will be researching it more and keeping a lookout for job opportunities I can positively contribute to.

If you are interested in learning more, I talked with @tbpn about Erebor last year while it was still in stealth. We are opening on a Sunday (a first for a US bank) to highlight our 24/7, 365 operation and service. x.com/i/status/20031…

The real bank for real Americans doing real things! The cutting-edge business model is based on next-gen concepts like "don't let your client's money disappear", "care at all about national security", and most importantly, "the market sometimes goes down".

@Rebels_Raiders Read Violence of Mind by Varg Freeborn. Not worth it. Plus, you're in CA. DEFINITELY not worth it.

Any Christian who votes democrat again is a fool. They’re showing people that it’s ok to disrupt a church during worship. This is how they truly feel about you. The veil is lifted. No morals. No integrity. It’s not enough for them to have an opinion, they’ve escalated to physical intrusion of places of worship. The demons inside of them are so bothered. All the time.

@amuse @robbystarbuck 32 rounds is standard for a civilian concealed carry with El just about everyone I know.

@robbystarbuck You’re a target. I’m talking civilians. I have three magazines but if I’m concealed carry i don’t carry them. That being said you might be right, but given the fact his parents begged him not to engage with them and he refused I can’t help but think he was looking for a fight.

POLITICAL VIOLENCE: Alex Pretti's parents begged him not to 'engage' with federal officers, but he was insistent. Now classified a domestic terrorist, Pretti brought a military style pistol with optics and between 30 and 51 rounds. He came expecting a firefight at distance. If he were merely carrying for self-protection he wouldn't have had that many rounds on him - it is clear he was prepared to kill as many officers as possible. He didn't bring his permit or ID (it is illegal to carry in MN without both).

@hubermanlab How about @imbrettcooper

I hosted Terry Real for a Huberman Lab podcast on “What is healthy masculinity?” It covered relation to self, women, friends, work etc. & was well received. MANY comments said “Great! Now do an episode on “What is healthy femininity?” Will do. Who should the guest/s be?

Last September I announced mandatory return-to-office. Five days a week. I called it a "culture-first initiative." Culture means presence. Presence means badge swipes. Badge swipes mean metrics. Metrics mean I can prove something to the board. I don't know what. But I can prove it. The announcement went out on a Tuesday. I sent it from my home office. In Aspen. I have an exemption. "Strategic leaders require location flexibility to maintain global perspective." I wrote that policy. HR approved it. HR approves everything I write. By Wednesday, 340 employees had updated their LinkedIn status to "Open to Work." I called it "natural attrition." Natural attrition means they quit before I had to pay severance. Very natural. We lost 47 engineers in the first month. I told the board it was "alignment correction." The people who left weren't aligned. With coming to an office. That I also don't come to. But that's different. I'm strategic. The office costs $4.2 million per year. Empty, it was a write-off. Now it's a "collaboration hub." I measured collaboration. Average daily Zoom calls from the office: 7.4 per employee. They commute 45 minutes. To take calls they could take from home. But now they're "present." Presence is culture. I've never been more certain of anything. A senior engineer asked why we couldn't stay remote. She had metrics. Productivity was up 23% during remote work. I said, "Productivity isn't everything." She asked what else mattered. I said, "Serendipitous collisions." She asked how we measure serendipitous collisions. I said, "You can't. That's what makes them serendipitous." She stopped asking questions. Then she stopped showing up. Then LinkedIn said she's at a company that's "remote-first." Good luck with that. They'll learn. We installed badge tracking software. It cost $380,000. It tells me exactly when people arrive. And when they leave. And how long they spend in each zone. I check it every morning. From home. The data is fascinating. Average arrival time: 9:47 AM. Average departure time: 4:12 PM. I sent a Slack message. "Core hours are 9 to 6." Arrival times shifted to 9:02 AM. Departure times shifted to 6:01 PM. Productivity did not change. But the metrics look better. Metrics are culture. We have a "hybrid" option now. Three days in office. Mandatory Monday. Mandatory Wednesday. Mandatory Friday. That's called "hybrid." Because Tuesday and Thursday are optional. But there are "anchor meetings" on Tuesday and Thursday. Attendance is "strongly encouraged." "Strongly encouraged" means mandatory without the liability. I learned that from legal. The head of product asked if he could work from home when his wife had surgery. I said, "Of course. Family comes first." Then I said, "But let's revisit your Q4 performance targets." He came to the office. His wife understood. I assume. I didn't ask. That's personal. The CFO asked about ROI on the RTO policy. I showed him the badge data. "Presence is up 340%." He asked if revenue was up. I said, "Revenue is a lagging indicator." He asked what the leading indicator was. I said, "Badge swipes." He nodded. The lease renews next year. Seven more years. $29 million committed. We needed bodies in the building. Now we have bodies. Fewer than before. But present. Morale is down. Glassdoor says we're "hostile to work-life balance." I told HR to respond. They wrote, "We're a high-performance culture that values in-person collaboration." That's corporate for "the review is accurate." But it sounds like a rebuttal. The CEO asked if RTO was working. I said, "Absolutely." He asked for evidence. I showed him a photo of the office. Full desks. Glowing monitors. Bodies in chairs. He smiled. "This is what culture looks like." It looked like a stock photo. Because I got it from a stock photo website. The real office has 40% occupancy on a good day. But he doesn't know that. He's also remote. We're both strategic. Next quarter I'm proposing a "collaboration bonus." $2,000 for anyone with 95% badge-in compliance. The bonus costs less than the turnover. And it shifts the narrative. We're not forcing people to come in. We're "incentivizing presence." Incentivizing means paying people to do something they don't want to do. It's different from mandating. Legally. The employees who stayed are "loyal." Loyalty means they have mortgages. And kids in school districts. And RSUs that haven't vested. They're not loyal. They're trapped. But on paper, it looks like loyalty. And paper is what the board sees. I've been doing this for 22 years. I know what culture looks like. It looks like butts in seats. Butts in seats mean control. Control means management. Management means me. RTO isn't about productivity. It never was. It's about seeing people. So I know they exist. So I know they're working. So I know I'm in charge. That's culture. As long as the badge swipes go up and to the right.

The “No Kings” crowd seems very upset at the removal of an unelected dictator who’s been accused of crimes against humanity by the UN.

Scott Adams, facing death, shows us how to live. Someone recommended “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big” by Scott Adams. I had burned out on mainstream books, but picked it up, and was hooked. He had put into words a way of living, similar to one I had found, except his approach was systemic and analytical. Better than my own slapdash notes. Outside of religious texts, Adams was and is as close to a “guide to life,” as you’ll ever find. And even if you’re religious, you still live in this world, and would be wise to learn how to navigate it. Scott is closing in on the end of his life, and even now he is creating new beginnings. I’d better write this now, I won’t be able to when it’s too late. After losing Charlie Kirk, a lot of us are wondering how we can possibly write another obituary. While there’s much to complain about the internet and social media, those mediums expanded the sizes of our communities, our influences, and indeed our families. Too often we find new ways to hate people, instead of finding new people to love. Scott Adams comes up in conversation at every social event I host. “How is Scott Adams doing? Will he make it?” We all talk about streams we watched and lessons learned. It’s a memorial except he’s still alive. Scott would love to hear that, which is why I have said so repeatedly. I’ve lost too many people, via death or fallings-out, to leave feeling unexpressed. He’s been a surrogate father figure and mentor to millions of people. Scott Adams is not liked, he is loved. People don’t “like” Scott Adams, they aren’t “a fan of his.” They love this man. And I do as well. I’m still living in denial of his fate. We all are. We’d been making a film about the meaning of life, and while Scott Adams had been in both of our other films, we hadn’t booked him for Meaning yet. Then we found out he was going to take the ride of assisted suicide. Foolishly, we had assumed he’d always be around. Nobody ever dies, right? Your dad will be there to take your call the next time you phone home. Your friends aren’t going anywhere. That’s how we too often live. We could book Scott later. We reached out and he graciously agreed to be interviewed. We all knew it was going to be our last interview together. Scott and I are both efficient with our time. When a moment is over, it’s time to go do something else. Obligations call. The crew pushed this one as long as we could. After the interview wrapped up and the gear was packed and it was time to go, there was an awkward pause. I broke it. “Scott, we love you.” He said thank you. “No, Scott, we love you, I mean it, we all do. We love you.” None of us broke down crying, not that there would have been any shame in that, but we no doubt all soon will. Well then, what is the lesson of Scott Adams? On a practical level, the lesson of Scott Adams is the power of showing up. Nobody works harder and on a more regular schedule. You can set your clock to Scott’s show. Too many of us wait for the muse of inspiration or the jolt of information to force us into action. Work, everyday, maybe in obscuring and without tangible benefits for years. Eventually you’ll hit your mark and go beyond. Scott plugged away with his streams from a small account (after a huge career via Dilbert) and soon became must-watch, and then transcended his role to becoming something much more. On a spiritual level, we might ask, why do we love Scott? It’s not because he’s so smart (he is). There are not shortage of intelligent, clever, Machiavellian, and rich people with podcasts. When one of them dies, what is lost? All of that Ego and desire for adoration, and does anybody even care? When those people fall while living, who will be there? Scott is loved because he’s devoted his life to service to humanity. “What is the meaning of life,” is the question we ask every interviewee, and Scott’s answer, “Be useful to humanity.” Despite pain, sickness, and inevitable death, Scott is doing his daily streams, serving his country and all of humankind until his end. He’s a light to the world and a mirror for all of us. What exactly are we doing with the gift of life given to us by God. (Scott believes in the Simulation, but I believe God evens this all out in the Judgment.) Are we doing enough for others? Are we doing anything for others? Like everyone else, I’m capable of throwing myself a pity party. Sometimes when life is going too well, and I don’t have real problems, I invent some. That’s where the Ego brings you, recursively worshipping itself, and when that fails, tormenting itself, as each path leads to its own attention. May all of us live more like Scott Adams, and may God bless his immortal soul when he passes. P.S. I ran this article through Grok for typos. The original version had “immoral” soul where I meant it to read “immortal.” I think Scott would have had a great laugh had that typo been left in.
