@TheChiefNerd People need to listen to @elonmusk .

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

@OrevaZSN The latter. This is without question the best time to be alive in human history. Especially for women.

Are we actually living through the most chaotic era in human history, or are we just the first generation with social media forced to watch every tragedy on earth unfold in real time, and the world has always been this dark, we were just never close enough to see it?

@pggraber @Isikoff @nytimes @LuluGNavarro Do you understand what "class" means? No you aren't of the working class if you grew up wealthy. It's cultural, not just economic.

@Isikoff @nytimes @LuluGNavarro Quick question, are you suggesting that a person is not working class is their parent was well off? I'm not an expert on Platner. Can you clarify, does he have money or does/did his dad, does he live paycheck to paycheck as he says? It seems his Dad's money isn't really relevant

This @nytimes story by @LuluGNavarro on progressive fav Graham Platner-he of the Nazi tattoo who presents himself as a working class oysterman- casts him as something of a fraud: a “prep school kid” who went to tony private school and whose wealthy father financed his house and paid for him and his wife to fly to Norway for expensive fertility treatments.

@SethDillon Wait...she thinks defending Israel is woke? I'm so confused.

If you want to get on Grandma Groyper's bad side, it seems like all you have to do is defend the Jews. And if you want to earn her respect, just do the opposite. As for her criticism here, Bill is not a hypocrite for opposing wokeness while defending Jews/Israel. The Jews are being scapegoated — as whites were — because of wokeness. Bill rightly and consistently recognizes that it's bad when whites are collectively framed as evil oppressors, and it's bad when Jews are, too.

@becathome4 Now they're doing registries for kids' birthdays! I saw one with a link to contribute to the their bank account! And they invited about 100 people to a baby's 1st birthday. It felt greedy to me.

I was recently invited to a bridal shower for a bride who has been living with her fiancé for a few years. They’re in their mid-20s, have full time jobs, and bought their first home last year. They’re settled. I followed the link to her registry and my mouth fell open. 🧵

@LSA8M I think buying that super expensive drawing for her in kind of a sketch way is the beginning of him doing his usual over the top stuff with Liz.

Ric + Elizabeth ~~ I like these two too 😉 Idk how it's gonna happen, but I really feel it's going towards Dante + Elizabeth Tell me your thoughts 💭

@its_Lexieroy But if they're actually stupid though...

🚨TRUMP JUST CALLED TWO FEMALE REPORTERS “STUPID”… AGAIN In case anyone’s keeping count: Today alone, he called not one, but TWO female reporters “stupid” to their faces. This isn’t a one-off. He’s going to keep doing it. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody in that room — or in his own party — has the spine to stop him. When does the press corps finally push back? Do YOU think this is acceptable behavior from the President of the United States? YES or NO?

@JoJoFromJerz It's probably that you are one of those people who actually believed Jan 6 was a "violent insurrection" where they wanted to literally hang Pence, rather than what it actually was, which was a protest that got out of hand and turned into a riot.

For as long as I live, I will never understand how January 6th wasn’t the end of Donald Trump. I will never, ever understand it.

@NickKristof @Megankstack So, this the hill to die on? Dog rape?

I share @megankstack's exasperation, but to those who say that canine rape is impossible, despite the many Palestinians who have described it, I'd note that at least three different medical journal articles discuss rectal injuries in humans from anal penetration by dogs. Sigh.

@CBSMornings So they are paying them off?

Canvas' parent company strikes deal with hackers to delete data stolen from educational platform cbsn.ws/49rgzyk

@GasBuddyGuy The goal isn't low gas prices. The goal is a non-nuke Iran.

If the Strait doesn't re-open soon, I believe we could see the national average price of gasoline reaching $5/gal as early as sometime in June.

@NickKristof @DavidShuster @nytimes That you know of.

@DavidShuster @nytimes Sorry, but your tweet is completely untrue.

Hearing from longtime friends @nytimes there are already discussions, including up the masthead, about retracting @NickKristof column. Issues with source credibility and lack of evidence. No indications the Kristof sourcing mistakes were deliberate. Still problematic:

@AmericanDebunk @BasedHypnotist I'm sorry you had to experience that hell. 😔 Most people don't actually understand what OCD is, but I do.

@Politi_Chick @BasedHypnotist Mine was so bad that ERP was impossible unless I took the edge off. Tried it. Every time I thought I made progress the theme switched.

I’ve been on the carnivore diet for 3 days and I was like mmmmm mammoths

@AmericanDebunk @BasedHypnotist Exposure therapy works. No drugs needed. Saved my son from intrusive thoughts.

I had a few psychiatrist diagnosis me with OCD within 5 minutes our first session. One told me they’d never seen a case as bad as mine who was still employed. Rogan and Jordan Peterson talked about doing carnivore for a month. I tried it as a challenge for fun. 3 weeks into it I had zero anxiety and stopped taking SSRIs cold turkey another few weeks later. Never went back.

@RealHickory Oil companies are going to sell at the highest price buyers will pay. With a worldwide shortage, the price will be high with plenty of buyers.

Then why are gas prices in America rising?

@MeghanMcCain Don't we already have hantavirus in the US? It's how Gene Hackman died.

I can’t go through this again.

@RNicholasBurns "Nonpartisan" 🤣

The State Department fired 200 experienced U.S. Foreign Service Officers today. No Administration has been more dismissive of our nonpartisan career diplomats. Shameful.

@Kiradavis This little bitch hid behind Abby's skirt after Scott backed him off. I'd like to see him get in Scott's personal space off camera and away from a studio. Probably wouldn't go well for his face.

"Mockler is in his 20s, and Jennings is nearly 50. He’s a man and he’s been around long enough to know better than to let another man invade his personal space while aggravated. It’s Man Code 101. I’ve never been a man, but I’ve lived with one for 27 years, and I’ve seen him use that same code on occasion. There are some things a man just does not let happen and one of those things is letting another man, especially a younger man, break the barrier of your personal safety. Charlie Kirk is dead. Corey Comperatore is dead. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim are dead. Nick Shirley has 24/7 security just to be an independent reporter. Conservative reporters are being assaulted on camera nearly every day. President Trump has suffered four (and after today, maybe five) assassination attempts. The left keeps pretending men like Scott Jennings are “melting down” in the face of aggression and disrespect, when really they’re just enforcing Man Code, which is long overdue. No, son, you don’t wave your hands around in the face (or personal space) of your elder just to make a point. You don’t disrespect a man who is clearly older, much more accomplished and much more successful than you just to make a point. You don’t pretend you are peers. You are not. You argue respectfully, understanding the man in front of you has forgotten more in his lifetime than you’ve learned in your couple decades of living, which aren’t yet very far removed from diapers and bottles."

@AnthonyAguero Are these snowmobile trails in the winter?

🚨 ⚠️ While everyone’s obsessed with the southern border, criminal organizations are running wild on our northern border using off-road trails, RZRs, and ATVs to smuggle illegal aliens up to 100 miles deep into the U.S. These trails are lined with small hotels and restaurants, turning quiet border towns into smuggling/ trafficking corridors. It’s the perfect way to stay clear of law enforcement and avoid detection and entry. There’s already a lack of LEO presence across the northern border. This isn’t just an immigration problem,it’s a national security nightmare nobody’s talking about. Why is this being ignored? Here are some trail cams we set up. RZRs traveling at high speeds after 10 pm with the lights out make me think they have night vision goggles.

@HSRdirector @MattHennessey @WSJFreeEx Raising kids is the ultimate life experience. The highs and lows are wild! I actually have a hard time taking adults seriously who never had kids. There's something missing that they just don't "get."

this advice from @MattHennessey in @WSJFreeEx mirrors the advice I receive from my older patients. I routinely ask my older patients for life advice and repeatedly they tell me “have as many children as you can”
