@BGatesIsaPyscho That video doesn’t provide much imo. The soot is prob from whatever chemicals are burning coming out of the flame thrower and there was a path of melt so..?

🇺🇸 Meanwhile across America “Ok explain this to me - that’s a flame thrower - this is snow and it’s not melting” As more and more Americans become more suspicious of their chemically infused snow, the experiments continue to get wilder improving that it’s not entirely natural‼️

@MayorBowser This dude napped in his truck for over an hour this morning 8:30am to 9:30am while it was running.

Updates for Wednesday, January 28: •⁠ ⁠DCPS will be closed •⁠ ⁠DC Gov will open at 10AM Let's keep working together—give our plows space on the roads, continue safety precautions, and be a good neighbor.

@AlBuffalo2nite @stephenasmith Well said.

This is exactly the kind of betrayal Americans are sick of. Stephen A. Smith was right to go nuclear on this. A sitting governor boarding a plane to Davos, Switzerland, not to represent American interests, not to defend the nation that elevated him…but to trash America and the sitting President on foreign soil. That is not leadership. That is disloyalty. You don’t air your house out in front of strangers. You don’t insult your family in front of people who would gladly see you weakened. You don’t sabotage your own inheritance and then call it “principle.” That behavior has a name, and it isn’t patriotism. Gavin Newsom didn’t go to Davos to help Californians. He went to audition. To signal allegiance to global elites by throwing America under the bus. That’s the modern Democratic Party in one snapshot…international applause over national loyalty. Stephen A. Smith saying it on SiriusXM mattered because it broke the script. When even people outside politics are calling this out, the rot is obvious. You don’t badmouth your country to foreign powers. Period. Full stop. This isn’t about left or right. It’s about respect for the house you live in. And anyone willing to smear America abroad for clout at home doesn’t deserve the office they hold. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@SouthwestAir you may have the worst supervisor gate agent I’ve ever met working for you. #LasVegas #southwest #LAS

@SWENGDAD Call Dr. Laura, her advice will be 💯 spot on. #iykyk

@IntuitMachine 0.005% is higher than the odds of me dying from Covid but that was enough for our government and neighbors to infringe on our liberties so seems like 0.005% is enough to have us all shelter in place because of an interstellar object by today’s standards.

I fell down a rabbit hole reading the latest Avi Loeb et al. paper and I can't shake it. It's about the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, and it lays out a series of "coincidences" so statistically bonkers that they start to look like a plan. A very, very smart plan. 🧵 So, 3I/ATLAS is the 3rd interstellar object we've ever seen. It's currently cruising through our solar system. Most people assume it's a comet or asteroid from another star. Cool, right? But the paper (by Hibberd, Crowl & Loeb) points out a few things that are just... off. First, its orbit. It's retrograde (going the "wrong way" around the sun) but it's almost perfectly flat on the same plane as all the planets. The odds of that happening by chance? About 0.2%. It's like throwing a frisbee backwards across a highway and having it fly perfectly level with the cars. Why does that matter? The paper notes this specific orbit is TERRIBLE for us if we wanted to send a mission to it. The speeds are all wrong. But for the object itself? It's the perfect angle to survey our entire solar system and line up shots with the planets. Okay, weird orbit, maybe just a fluke. But then there's the object itself. If it's an asteroid, it's ~20km wide. We should see way, way more small ones like 'Oumuamua before we see one this big. It's like finding a blue whale before you've ever seen a goldfish. And it has no comet tail. No outgassing. It's just... dark. But here's where it gets genuinely wild. The trajectory of 3I/ATLAS takes it surprisingly close to Venus, Mars, AND Jupiter. The authors calculated the probability of a random object having all three of these near-perfect alignments. The odds are less than 0.005%. (I had to read that number twice. It's not a typo.) Okay, I know what you're thinking. "Aliens? Really?" I did too, but stick with me. The paper explores the hypothesis that these aren't coincidences. They're features. It argues this isn't a rock; it's a probe following a carefully planned route. The paper even brings up the "Dark Forest" theory (if you know, you know). The idea that any smart civilization would stay quiet or eliminate potential threats. So the probe's path isn't for a friendly hello. It's for reconnaissance. And maybe more. Plot twist: On Oct 29, 2025, 3I/ATLAS will reach its closest point to the sun. And at that exact moment, it will be perfectly hidden from Earth, directly behind the sun. The paper points out this is the ideal time to do a massive braking maneuver to get captured into our solar system... completely in secret. Imagine you're designing a stealth probe. You'd come from a direction that's hard to see (the bright galactic center ✓). You'd pick a path that makes interception impossible (that weird orbit ✓). You'd line up your targets in advance (the 0.005% flybys ✓). And you'd hide your biggest move (the solar eclipse ✓). It all... clicks. The paper makes a testable prediction. If this is a probe with malign intent, it could launch something to intercept Earth. The optimal arrival window? Late November to early December... 2025. So, yeah. Mark your calendars, I guess? The authors are clear this is a "pedagogical exercise." The most likely answer is still "weird comet." But the math is sound, and the argument is chillingly elegant. It's a perfect example of how you can build a terrifyingly plausible case out of a few statistical outliers. And it makes you wonder... what else have we written off as just a coincidence?

@Jeep @StellantisNA our #jeep 4xe just went haywire after the update. Interior dash, lights etc. rotating between error messages, flashing and shorting out. It is inoperable. Resetting it by disconnecting the 12v did nothing. This is our 4th year dealing with this. What crap.

@GadSaad The amount of trolls in these comments…. Holy cow.

My daughter's class is going on a school trip to NYC. Many of the parents are incredibly upset that the school would visit the United States where there is a "daily genocide of women, trans people, and people of color." The parents are not upset at what is happening in Canada or that @ZohranKMamdani is going to become mayor of NYC. They are terrified for their children's safety because of @realDonaldTrump. I have spent my entire academic career studying human behavior and human decision making, and yet I'm astounded by this level of suicidal stupidity.

@Verizon Verizon, your AI / customer service answering bot is atrocious. I’ve called four different times and cannot get past an automated computer and when I get to the waiting room, it drops me.

@atlsportsball @Mappy6984 I agree, this wasn’t a public street with traffic laws, but a recreational area so imo downhill skiing rules apply, which means people coming from behind that are going faster and passing people in front of them have to yield to people in front of them

@Mappy6984 Time to yell but not time to move over? As the person coming up from behind and going faster, it’s your responsibility to be more careful. Here’s a picture to help next time.

Yet again

Thank you so much D! @DwightYoakam you were 🔥! You always hit it out of the park. #Stagecoach #country #OG ❤️

@DwightYoakam thank you D! You were 🔥 #Stagecoach

Who ever is running sound at mane stage #stagecoach RN is either high or having a bad day bc the balance is way off and vocals are lowwww. #elleking

Thank you @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent for finally giving us regular updates in the forum and in the Breaking News section of the login. #Overwatch2

@BlizzardCS when will the Xbox players be able to get in? It’s been 36 hours of server errors and none of blog “fixes” work. I love Blizzard, played OW1 all the time up until OW2 release, paid for the Watchpoint Pack, and I’m a shareholder. Where is the communication?
