@JimPlumDFS @Timcast Amazing you have psychic capabilities. I know they’re true intent? You are incredible!

@Timcast Maybe it’s a mistranslation of the words, but it’s correct in terms of intent

Oh my god

@45Lori1 @EricLDaugh There’s a big difference between free speech and disrupting a hearing!

@EricLDaugh Mustn’t say anything about Israel or bye bye to your free speech. 🤮

🚨 BREAKING: The aggressive protestor who got HAULED OUT of a Senate hearing by Capitol Police and Sen. Tim Sheehy has been CRIMINALLY CHARGED with assault on police, resisting arrest, and obstructing New footage shows him shoving his OWN HAND into the door and aggressively shoving officers off of him Putting his arm into the door was a BAD move as it was swiftly injured. 3 officers involved also had to be treated for injuries, per Capitol Police THIS IS WHAT FAFO LOOKS LIKE. It is an OPTION to violently resist vs complying.

Interesting how the women all take his side as soon as he gets hurt something 100% his fault, they’re so emotionally driven. They don’t seem to grasp the fact that he put himself in this situation that hurt others by resisting, instead they want everybody to stop and help the marine man who’s disrupting the hearing. This is the source of woke.

@EricLDaugh What school was this?

🚨 WOW! Florida man is being hailed nationwide after he STORMED out of work to pick up his kid from school because students hosted an ANT-ICE walkout "I have to leave work cause while I work, I have to worry about you manipulating my kids! IT'S BS!" 🔥💯

@elonmusk @Tesla_Optimus, Lately, every physical task I do has me thinking: How would a robot handle this? Human hands and fingers are insanely complex. Our fingertips have incredible sensitivity—we can detect the tiniest surface variations, textures, and edges. Will robots ever match that level of tactile feedback? A perfect (and brutally simple) test for true dexterity + sensitivity: peeling a strip of tape off a fresh roll. It’s something almost every human fumbles with at first. It demands precise grip, fine motor control, fingernail-level finesse, and immediate feel for that stubborn edge. So, genuine question: Will Optimus be able to reliably peel tape from a roll? Maybe we need standardized benchmarks—like dexterity metric or dexterity benchmark—for robots. 
One killer test: the Tape Roll Test — peeling tape off a fresh roll consistently. If a robot nails that reliably, we’re talking serious humanoid hand mastery. Levels for extra challenge: masking tape (easy mode), scotch tape (classic struggle), electrical tape (nightmare fuel). Can @Tesla_Optimus do anything close to this now? i’m guessing this is still years away.

@CoryBooker What exactly supposed to happen when you resist law-enforcement? He is clearly resisting not following orders. The officer opens the door and he climbs into the passenger seat on top of someone else? Did he learn that in the Marine Corps?

This is unacceptable, offensive, and wrong. Not one more dollar for an out of control, reckless, dangerous agency that is violating people’s rights daily.

As a sound engineer, but someone who’s not used to doing live sound I am guessing you need to compress the room mics picking up the crowd, so that the dynamic range is limited, that way, the announcers don’t have to compete with the loud swells. Somehow ESPN was able to do this without issue.

@ufc @paramountplus why is the sound screwed up at the current UFC fight night. The announcers are extremely low, so low that if the crowd gets a little loud, you cannot hear a word they say. Is there anybody there that can hear listening to this?

@AK_in_my_pocket @ufc @paramountplus It’s absolutely ridiculous that I can’t get this together.

@GassTroll @ufc @paramountplus it literally sounds like a 3rd world country 😂😂

@Andercot Whoever did, this is too dumb to even make it look real.

There's really only one thing you need to see to understand the 'Epstein files' are a controlled disclosure to shape public opinion without revealing much of the truth. And it's this: a photo included in the files that is clearly photo-shopped to include a SpaceX logo on a t-shirt. Why would they do this? It's easy to understand. If you make the 'problem' big enough, and diffuse enough, so it ambiguously touches almost every person of wealth, power, influence, but without divulging the real details that matter, like the names of people emailing things about murder, torture, etc - redactions that don't protect victims, but instead protect criminals, then you do two things. The public 'feels' like it knows 'the truth' - that this was a disgusting and widespread ring of corruption and evil. While also obfuscating any actionable things that would lead to people going to jail, being punished for their crimes. It becomes a general inditement of society without any specific ammunition to bring justice about. As an added bonus, the ambiguity of specific guilt with the preponderance of evidence of wrongdoing sets everyone at each others throats. Instead of 'society versus evil' it becomes 'society versus itself' while evil gets off the hook. It is likely that people within the DOJ / FBI spent a long time carefully pruning the set of materials to be disclosed, ensuring there was enough there to incite outrage, but not enough to be actionable. At this point you should basically have the mindset of: Everything coming from 'official sources' is constructed with the intent to mislead, manipulate, obfuscate, and shape public opinion to achieve some political end. FBI director Kash Patel going on record saying there's no evidence of child trafficking, while Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison on child trafficking charges, basically sums it up. The authorities are doing the bare minimum to wash their hands of this entire affair, to make the public complicit in its complacency, and sowing enough chaos and confusion to prevent any kind of united front on the part of the public demanding answers. You are not being given the means of finding justice, but being conditioned with the awareness that injustice is beyond reproach, omnipresent, something too powerful to approach to dethrone. This is ultimately wrong. Injustice and evil exist as extremely fragile structures that depend entirely on a socially constructed narrative, but it takes the public gullibility to believe this narrative. You are the media now, and the media's role in a democracy is to speak truth to power; to find what is real and false; and hold public officials to account.

It strikes me how feelings dominate this tech-focused conversation in this clip. Feelings seem to steer Sam Altman and OpenAI—to such a degree that “it feels” is the clip’s most repeated phrase. Recent posts tie “woke” ideology and feminism to prioritizing emotion and feelings over logic, and it’s glaring here. I really don’t understand why they don’t measure real outcomes and speak on these issues more scientifically. I know there’s a lot of gray area in AI, but there’s also many concrete metrics to be measured. youtu.be/KUNSNmr-1Bo?si… via @YouTube

Deaths directly caused by ICE agents (fatal shootings in field ops/enforcement): 8 (from mid-2025 through early 2026, per reports tracking 30+ incidents). vs. Lives potentially saved: 922 fewer homicides in 35 major U.S. cities in 2025 (a 21% drop from 2024, per the Council on Criminal Justice's Year-End 2025 Update—possibly the lowest U.S. homicide rate in over a century if national trends hold).

With all the massive anti-ICE protests sweeping the country this week—national shutdowns on Friday, Bruce Springsteen & Tom Morello benefit concerts in Minneapolis, and over 300 "ICE Out of Everywhere" rallies planned across all 50 states —here's some perspective on the bigger picture.

@jonatanpallesen @grok what is the data come from, and are these charts accurate?

The main reason for the negative economic impact of the Middle Eastern immigrants is that a large proportion of them do not work (more than half!), and instead collect social welfare. Higher expenses to deal with the higher crime rates is another reason.

Amusing title from the Economist, "It's complicated", for a graph that clearly, unambiguously shows that non-Western immigrants to Denmark are fiscally net negative. Immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa are even fiscally negative in prime working age!

@paramountplus what are the people in charge of this platform thinking? 323 plays when I suck 324. How can I play 324 do you think people might want to watch it this morning?

@paramountplus UFC 324, I was hoping you guys would straighten the organization of these events out, but no. Can’t even play the whole UFC 324 the morning after! can’t even find the post show. I see 324 at the top of the page. It plays a preview of 324 but if I click watch now below “catch up on 324” at plays 323! WTF kind of logic is this?

@elonmusk @beffjezos @grok explain this

@beffjezos … will superset everything except physical Optimus

The only way to skip past Claude Code is to do full computer use RL agents, which they are apparently doing. They are playing to win.

@SenWarren Why aren’t you focused on making the country a better place instead of bringing up the past?

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

@BarackObama “Small groups” do you mean Somalians?

It's a reminder that, while the pace of change can often be slow, a small group of people can still help us take a giant leap forward – but only if we vote.

If you need a reminder that elections have consequences, check out what's happening in Minnesota. minnpost.com/state-governme…

@BarackObama And look what a mess has become of this. I hope this is a lesson to all!

Earlier this year, Democrats took control of the State Senate by one seat after winning a race by just 321 votes. It gave Democrats control of both chambers of the state legislature and the governor’s mansion.
