Deep Pondering

@warDaniel47 this! the reason the system is broken is because the insurance company is the customer, not the patient. anything that puts the patient back in charge is a step toward righting it.

🚨 BREAKING: Democrats are panicked now that President Trump FLIPPED THE SCRIPT on Obamacare "They've been paid trillions, not billions, trillions of dollars - and what I'm saying is very simple. I don't WANT to pay them anything. No money for the insurance companies. Sorry fellas, I know them all!" "No money for the insurance companies. I want to pay the money directly to the PEOPLE and let the people get their own health care. But you know who's fighting me on that? The Democrats!" "Obamacare was set up for insurance companies to become RICH...insurance company stocks have gone up 16, 17, 1,800% percent over a short period of time!" GET IT PASSED! Huge for the midterms.

@TansuYegen drone photography has changed the world

A drone filmed a volcano erupting from above and it makes ground footage look useless 🌋

@elonmusk @SciGuySpace or gobble up competitors?

@SciGuySpace Maybe we should make a “Hungry Hippo” version of Starship one day to collect and de-orbit spent rocket stages and other space junk

This is going to be a problem. arstechnica.com/space/2026/05/…

@gledhill_scales since they are twins, how do we know that anyone was replaced at all?

lol… Someone replaced Arnold in Commando with Danny DeVito 😂 This is peak cinema

@ScottPresler well done!

VICTORY! Congratulations to our Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton! 24-year incumbent Senator John Cornyn has been DEFEATED in a complete blowout! This is a political earthquake that will shape the Senate for years to come. Pass the SAVE America Act!

@bestofStarTrek sometimes they do.

Why don't computer terminals and holodecks require admin level logins?

@IMAO_ they were trying for younger yoda in TPM. the Yoda in that Disney fan fiction movie was the ghost of OT era Yoda (ie older Yoda)

One thing I've always wondered is why was the puppet Yoda in The Phantom Menace (since replaced with CGI) so terrible? It didn't look like Yoda at all. When they used a puppet again for The Last Jedi, that one looked right.

@Fair_and_Biased When Trump was out of office, Cornyn changed. I believe Paxton will not.

It’s Election Day in TX, & I’m still not sold on Cornyn or Paxton! I get the concerns about Cornyn not supporting Trump’s agenda, but it seems exaggerated when I research the details. I think his incumbent advantage might be useful against Talarico. I think Paxton will be bolder but Cornyn might be more willing to compromise when needed. Who would you (or did you) vote for? Help me make up my mind!

@MustangMan_TX the fake kind.

What kind of “Christian” is James Talarico??

@Mediaite I also hear water is wet. Remarkable!

@ScottPresler no one works as hard you, except maybe Trump and Rubio.

Barbie just got out of the hospital from breaking her back & voted in person for Ken Paxton. If Barbie can do it, so can you. +2🟥 for Paxton in Collin County, TX

@Not_the_Bee wow! Originally, I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt...nope. she's just stupid like the rest of them.

Kenyan actress hired to play Helen of Troy had never heard of "The Odyssey" (she has a master's from Yale) notthebee.com/t16d4

@ScottPresler welcome to Allen!

Why would I rehire someone for another 6 years that hasn’t done the job he was hired to do for 24 years? ✅ Ken Paxton

@Raywin @Acyn "Texas needs to be Texas" that is relevant for state-wide office. Not for a US Senator.

@Acyn Did they interview me? I haven't voted yet... in all seriousness I have real issues with Paxton, and a MAGA endorsement for that matter... Texas needs to be Texas, and not what Washington thinks we should be.

Raju: Who did you vote for? Texas Voter: Cornyn Raju: Why did you vote for Cornyn? Texas Voter: Because Trump did not endorse him. It makes me sick that the Republican party is completely controlled by one man. Raju: If Paxton wins the nomination, could you vote for him in the general election? Texas Voter: Hell no.

@JohnCornyn @KenPaxtonTX learn statistics. there's a reason why cable news can call races with only a small fraction of votes being reported.

Did you see @KenPaxtonTX doesn’t want you to vote in the runoff? 75% of registered voters did not vote in either the Democratic or the Republican primary. Another difference between us: I want as many Texans as possible to vote. Why would you delegate your right vote to a small fraction of registered voters that may not reflect your values? Vote!

@sri9s "we can’t even imagine yet" how do you name something that isn't imaginable yet?

They say AI will create entirely new jobs we can’t even imagine yet. So, name one

@IterIntellectus To be clear, in this age of gay marriage, why can't two consenting adults get married?

cousin marriage was LEGAL in sweden?!

@ayeejuju you run an experiment. Shuffle a desk of cards. After many tries and reshuffling, how many times does he successfully draw an ACE. if it is 50% of the time, he is right. If not, he is wrong.

@breccastoll tragedy of the commons loading up.

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”
