On the way up, people root for you because you remind them of their dreams. When you’re at the top, they try to tear you down because you remind them what they gave up on.

@deadlightsout @TheMaverickWS I’m sure that perpetual victim mentality has gotten you far in life. Sounds like you know how to effectively engage with strangers for a productive dialogue. Throw your temper tantrum at home and come back in 10 years when your brain develops. Let the grown up’s talk.

@JayVelar @TheMaverickWS We aren’t capitalism dipshit… We are operating under a monopolistic oligarchy which destroys innovation as ANY new business that could possibly pose a threat will be either crushed Ala 800-diapers or bought up like Zuck did with instagram.

Everytime I see a sad story about a family struggling to pay a healthcare bill, pets getting killed because of lack of shelter space, peach farms uprooted in CA due to lack of funds... I think of how this piece of shit could spend the equivalent of pennies to help but he won't

@MarioNawfal As if being homeless wasn’t hard enough. A generation filled with sociopaths that can’t discern reality from a screen

🇺🇸 A TikTok “trend” just turned deadly in Times Square. A 17-year-old and a crew stabbed a sleeping man to death “for the challenge,” targeting homeless people. And the dude wasn’t even homeless. He was a chill hippie dad of 2, living the Bob Marley life. His sister: “I can’t call my brother again.” Damn... Source: CBS News

@Vaginatfireball @DiscussingFilm I feel like every zombie apocalypse movie ever made shows us what the average person gets up to during an event like this..

@DiscussingFilm People are stupid. I’m glad it’s not following someone like Leon. This is a nice fresh take. Nobody’s ever wondered what the average person was doing in Raccoon City when this popped off? If you want something else, the movies aren’t that old yet, go back and watch them.

First details on Zach Cregger's ‘RESIDENT EVIL’: • Takes place in Raccoon City during the events of the ‘Resident Evil 2’ game • Filmed to be from POV of a normal guy including - first-person shooter action + wide lens shots over his shoulder • Many easter eggs for the games including weapon progression & creature mechanics

@realalexsoro Pulling this feature with no notice after people paid for it is wildly disrespectful and shortsighted. Canceling my pro. It was the only feature worth paying for and not at $40/month

Dear X, Congratulations on pulling one of the sleaziest bait-and-switch moves in tech history. I paid for my Premium subscription expecting X Pro (the actual useful tool formerly known as TweetDeck) to be included as it was when I signed up and kept paying. Now, with zero warning, zero notice, and right in the middle of my billing cycle, you've yanked it away and locked it behind your ridiculous $40/month Premium+ paywall. Poof. Gone. Like it never mattered. This isn't "improving the service." This is straight-up theft of value from paying customers. You took my money under false pretenses, then changed the deal without so much as a DM, email, or pathetic little pop-up. No prorated refund. No apology. Just "lol enjoy the downgrade, sucker." X Pro was the ONE actually productive feature that made subscribing worth it for power users who actually manage timelines, columns, and real work, not just doomscrolling and posting memes. Everything else is fluff. Now it's pay more or lose it. This is the kind of greedy, user-hostile garbage that kills platforms. Treat your subscribers like ATMs you can shake down whenever you feel like hiking the price, and watch how fast loyalty evaporates. Refund the prorated difference or restore X Pro to Premium immediately. Or keep proving that "maximum truth-seeking" apparently doesn't apply to basic consumer honesty. Disgusting. #XProTheft #PremiumScam @elonmusk @X

@nikitabier @monetization_x Really messed up. I paid for my subscription only for this feature, just to have you rug pull it

@monetization_x What we’re launching in X in the next week or two will be much more powerful than XPro. We’re only keeping XPro for people that absolutely need it for hyper-specific business workflows.

X Pro is now only available to users subscribed to Premium+ and above.

@staygroundeadtv No one looks at this guy and thinks “big bag alert”

Here’s a clip of him explaining why he got all of those Louis Vuitton face tattoos

@losojosdesartre @jchaney01 @aakashgupta Nailed it

@jchaney01 @aakashgupta AI, am I clear to cross the runway? Clear to cross! AI, I see an aircraft taking off right now... You're right! Good catch! Here's a better—and safer—taxi instruction:

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@JustFreshKicks The robots will never know what hit them.

Yeezy Foam Helmet goes hard.

@fanfar556 @MarioNawfal Yeah? Like what? If I make a prediction 10 times a day and 1 time a year it comes true, should we listen to what I have to say? I predict the war in Iran will end. Put me on every network TV show after it happens, please.

@JayVelar @MarioNawfal this guy predicted things that came true who cares if he’s a highschool teacher

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Professor Jiang tells Tucker he believes Trump will call a national draft to sustain the Iran war, leading to mass rioting and National Guard deployments across major cities by April.

You’re entitlement and lack of understanding of how markets work is seething through this post. Of course there are people who are going to be “going negative” on a house they bough and paid for. Housing is no different than any other market; some people overpay, some people underpay. The only difference with housing is it’s expensive, illiquid, and most of the value is appreciated through inflation, not real value.

@Bluefox0005 @unusual_whales No one should be going negative on a house they bought, paid mortgage and interest on. What is the point of owning a home if you are going to pay thousands of dollars to purchase it only to lose out and end up paying someone to buy it? That is stupud logic.

"Some sellers are delisting or holding off after seeing homes sell below asking," per Redfin.

@_DeFi_priest @Wisdom_HQ If you know and acknowledge this, you can surely know and acknowledge we still live in these times. There are many things we do now that people will look back on in the same light as we look back upon the radium craze

@Wisdom_HQ This is a stark reminder of how little was understood about radiation at the time and how easily science was misused for profit. What was once sold as healing turned out to be dangerously harmful, exposing the risks of blind trust in “miracle” cures.

@apedotstore @WatcherGuru Social media/Instacart/Door Dash era has everyone believing you can snap your fingers and POOF a magic canal is built. No concept of marshaling resources and the manpower needed to effectuate these things.

@WatcherGuru easy solution

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says the US does not use the Strait of Hormuz and does not need it.

@akaran94 @LordNefty @StaniKulechov @grok Tried for ya

@LordNefty @StaniKulechov @grok Someone who has a premium subscription please ask grok

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

@akaran94 @LordNefty @StaniKulechov @grok @grok answer please

@LordNefty @StaniKulechov @grok please answer

@akaran94 @LordNefty @StaniKulechov @grok @grok answer please

@Bradford1983 @bandannacapital @CryptoMikli It should motivate you.

@bandannacapital @CryptoMikli The fact that he is successful makes me very skeptical and disappointed in humanity

@briantylercohen @BarackObama Guy uncovers the answer to a question that could forever change all of humanity and he follows up with “Who do you want to meet”?

I asked @BarackObama if aliens are real.
