@SpecBerry75 @Gabriele_Corno That and they’re cats so they are plotting to kill you…

@Gabriele_Corno When I did my research because I qualified for a service animal, I tried to get a servant cat. They’re big enough to be service animals because they’re damn near as big as most dogs. They’re every bit is smart as a dog. The problem is that the cheapest ones are almost 10 K.

@PlumbNick The free market has to be allowed to move labor to where it is most efficient. Good business leaders will use AI to boost productivity and drive growth. Bad ones use it as an excuse to RIF, which is just a proxy for bad business management.

Tech is moving fast but the contrast between these two headlines is wild. On one hand, we’re hearing whispers about Amazon prepping for massive layoffs, potentially 14,000 more people, all in the name of "streamlining" for AI. On the other hand, Chinese courts dropped a massive reality check on the tech industry: Replacing a human with AI is not a legal excuse to fire them. If a company gets richer and more efficient because of AI, they shouldn't be allowed to just dump the people who helped build the company in the first place. Are we okay with a future where "efficiency" is the only thing that matters? Is it time we stop treating layoffs as an "unavoidable" part of innovation and start asking for better protections?

@SteaknShake Fantastic. Next go fully organic for all your bread and vegetable ingredients.

Starting June 1, all our Steakburgers will be made with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef. America deserves the best! We see it as our job to try to give you the best. It is up to our customers to decide what's healthy for them. We believe in freedom — the freedom to choose. 🇺🇸

@WhizBuckleyNFH You’re an American hero. Thank you!

The White House called Friday at five. Could I be there Saturday morning for the executive order signing? I told them I would start walking. Five years ago, I traveled to Mexico with a group of great Americans. I knew almost nothing about psychedelics except what the government told me - that they were bad. But I had been through my dark nights of the soul. I had been lost for a while. I was on my way out. I figured it couldn’t get any worse. What followed was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. It was not fun. It was not recreational. I reconnected with my God, my dad, my sister - and healed decades of childhood and military trauma. I was born again. I came home to my beautiful bride and we started the @NoFallenHeroes Foundation - to carry that same powerful healing to other veterans, first responders, and their families. In the years since, we’ve helped save and change the lives of hundreds of our heroes. Last year, in a moment of deep reflection with God, I recognized these compounds as sacraments. Sacred Warrior Fellowship was born - an entheogenic church, rooted in faith. Standing in the Oval Office this morning, watching that pen move across the page - five years collapsed into a single breath. There is no way I could have imagined this. But that is the power of God’s grace and healing. Walk and the path will appear. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” To everyone who has carried this mission with us: thank you. This is not the end. This is the end of the beginning. We are just getting started. And we need your help. We are years away from the VA or any other government agency serving this medicine. Join this fight either by donating or helping us raise awareness. God does not make imperfect things - please help us remind our heroes they are not broken and the American people are here to support them. Thank you @SecVetAffairs @RepDougCollins for listening to our heroes and having the courage to try something new. Fight’s On! @RepLuttrell @MarcusLuttrell @SuziNFH

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights AAG Dhillon - please staff up and go hard after these companies. Make us feel like our government is truly America First. This is a good start but so much left to do. You have our support!!

Thank you for drawing our attention to these issues. We have reached many settlements in these cases in the last year under our Protect US Workers initiative. @CivilRights is already looking into some you posted earlier today! Proud of our team led by DAAG Eric Sell!

@BillyEmbody Then we go over to Hooters and hang with John Daly in the parking lot afterwards…

Along with appropriate Epoch Estate Wines pairings…

@JenniferSey You’re my hero.

Dear Megan Rapinoe - I would love to have a debate / discussion on this. You can gang up on me. Two against one. Bring your best arguments. Heck I'll go 3 vs 1. I'll go it alone. I don't care. I'm up for the challenge. We aren't hateful. We don't hate anyone. I know you can't see this and it's all too easy just to put me and others who endorse the IOC policy (and fought for it) in a box as "bigots" or "anti-trans" or "alt-right." But that is simply and categorically false. If you have never talked to any of us, you wouldn't know that. You say we're mad because we lost the fight on gay marriage. I support gay marriage. I marched for gay marriage. You say we're mad because we just hate trans people. No, we just want women's sports to be for women. This is about males in women's sports. Women's sports exist for a reason. You have to know that. Surely you don't think we should just do away with the women's category entirely. But then how can you justify 3 males medaling in the women's 800m at the Rio Olympics?! At any rate, you're not on here and I'm sure you'd never do it anyway, but the offer stands. Believe it or not we have communicated in the past from my days at Levi's. We even have some mutuals though I'm sure I'm now hated by those mutuals simply because I am standing up for women's opportunity, safety and dignity. But hey, take up the challenge -- maybe you'll change my mind (won't happen, but if you care about the cause you should want to try).

@JohnStossel @npovmedia @AshleyRindsberg You can direct your LLM’s to ignore Wikipedia in its work. I do for all of mine.

I once reported on how great Wikipedia was. Now, it’s FULL of propaganda. That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results: @npovmedia @AshleyRindsberg

🚨 This is exactly how the 4 moonbound astronauts will travel 400,000 km from Earth. Strap yourself to 4.1 million kilograms of controlled explosion and ride it to the edge of everything humans have ever known. The Artemis II trajectory reveals something most miss about deep space travel: you don’t pilot to the moon. You become cargo on a ballistic arc calculated with mathematical precision that would make ancient astronomers weep. Launch from Cape Canaveral begins with two solid rocket boosters generating 3.6 million pounds of thrust each. These aren’t engines you can throttle or shut off. Once lit, they burn until empty. You’re riding pure chemical violence upward at accelerations that compress your organs and blur your vision. Each booster burns through 1.1 million pounds of propellant in 120 seconds, generating more power than the entire electrical grid of most countries. When the boosters separate two minutes in, you’re already traveling 3,000 miles per hour. The core stage takes over, burning liquid hydrogen and oxygen through four RS-25 engines. These are the same engines that powered the Space Shuttle, but upgraded for deep space. Each engine operates at temperatures that would vaporize most metals, channeling combustion through nozzles engineered to nanometer tolerances. Six minutes after launch, the core stage drops away. You’re in low Earth orbit, but barely. The trajectory puts you in an elliptical path that skims the upper atmosphere. Solar arrays deploy like mechanical wings. Life support systems activate. Four humans now depend entirely on machines to survive in an environment that kills unprotected life in seconds. The next 90 minutes are psychological preparation for what comes next. You’re still close enough to Earth that if something fails catastrophically, you might survive reentry. After translunar injection, that safety net disappears completely. The Interim Cryogenic Propulsion System fires once. A single engine burn lasting minutes accelerates you to escape velocity: 25,000 miles per hour. You are now traveling faster than any human has traveled since 1972. The burn must be perfect. Too little thrust and you fall back to Earth. Too much and you overshoot the moon entirely, drifting into solar orbit with no possibility of rescue. What follows is four days of coasting through interplanetary space on a trajectory so precisely calculated that it accounts for the gravitational influence of the sun, Earth, moon, and even Jupiter. You’re riding a path through space and time that exists only because teams of mathematicians spent years modeling celestial mechanics down to the microsecond. The spacecraft carries no radar, no GPS, no external reference points. Navigation depends on star trackers that identify constellations and calculate position by comparing stellar angles to digital star maps. You navigate the same way Polynesian sailors did, except your ocean is vacuum and your destination moves 2,000 miles per hour relative to Earth. Seventy hours into the mission, you cross the point where lunar gravity becomes stronger than Earth’s pull. The mathematics of your trajectory flip. You’re no longer escaping Earth. You’re falling toward the moon. But you don’t land. The trajectory aims for the moon’s far side, using lunar gravity like a cosmic slingshot. As you swing around, the moon’s mass redirects your momentum back toward Earth. Ancient orbital mechanics discovered by Johannes Kepler 400 years ago bend spacetime to fling you home. The far side transit is when psychological isolation peaks. You pass behind the moon, losing radio contact with Earth for the first time since launch. The only humans in the solar system disappear behind 2,000 miles of lunar rock. Mission Control goes silent. You are alone with the machinery in ways no human has experienced since Apollo 17. During lunar approach, you fly closer to the moon’s surface than the International Space Station orbits Earth. Craters and mountains pass beneath at lunar dawn, shadows stretching across terrain untouched by atmosphere or weather for billions of years. You see geology older than complex life on Earth. The return trajectory begins automatically. Lunar gravity has already bent your path homeward. You’re riding Newton’s laws back across 400,000 kilometers of emptiness at speeds that compress the return journey into four days. Reentry begins 400,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. The heat shield faces temperatures of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to melt copper, approaching the surface temperature of the sun. Atmospheric friction converts 25,000 miles per hour into thermal energy that would vaporize the spacecraft without the carbon composite barrier between you and physics. Parachute deployment requires split-second timing. Deploy too early and the chutes shred in the hypersonic airflow. Deploy too late and you impact the ocean at terminal velocity. Main chutes slow you from 300 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour in seconds. The deceleration forces compress your spine and test the limits of human physiology. Pacific splashdown ends a ten-day journey covering 1.4 million miles. You return as the first humans to travel beyond Earth orbit in over fifty years, carrying radiation exposure from cosmic rays that passed through your body, and psychological changes from seeing Earth as a pale blue dot suspended in infinite dark. The entire mission depends on technologies working perfectly in an environment that destroys electronics, boils lubricants, and subjects every component to temperature swings of 500 degrees. One software glitch, one seal failure, one navigation error means four humans drift through space until life support expires. Engineering manages these risks through redundancy, testing, and margins of safety built into every system. But at 400,000 kilometers from Earth, margin for error approaches zero. Success requires mechanical perfection operating in conditions no Earth laboratory can fully simulate. We call it exploration, but what Artemis II really tests is whether human consciousness can psychologically handle complete separation from everything that created it while trusting life entirely to machines operating at the edge of physical possibility. The trajectory looks like a simple loop on paper. In reality, it’s controlled falling through spacetime using mathematics as your only safety net.

@JimmysSeafood @SBAgov Go fuck yourself! Just kidding…couldn’t resist. Love this!!! Congrats!

Today, our family had the honor of visiting the White House. Thank you, @SBAgov! From the village to the White House - this is the American Dream in action. 🇺🇸🇬🇷

@HarmeetKDhillon You are an American Treasure, Harmeet.

Same, bruh -- same. Those sweaters won't knit themselves! And yet, we have jobs to do. So... let's do them, for the American people?

@benjitaylor Feature request: view people I’m following not in list for adding to lists

First thing on the agenda: improve everything

@DavidWall9987 @it_unprofession This⬆️. I was one of those consultants as well for a long time. The politics of corporations are so bad that good ideas can’t flourish from within if it gives someone else a win. The CEO now has air cover if the ideas are implemented but fail.

@it_unprofession You’re not paying for a solution; you’re paying for $250k worth of Political Immunity. It’s just high-priced CYA (Cover Your Ass) for executives who need a third-party rubber stamp to steamroll their own agendas and a scapegoat if things go south.

We hired a consulting firm to tell us why our profits are down. They sent three 24-year-olds wearing vests. They spent two months interviewing us about our own jobs. Then they put our answers into a PowerPoint presentation. They charged us $250K for this privilege. During the final readout, one of them used the phrase synergy optimization without blinking. I looked around the conference room. Our CEO was nodding like he just received the Ten Commandments. The grand conclusion was that we need to increase revenue and decrease costs. I could've told them that for a gift card to Panera. But nobody listens to the guy who works here. You only listen to the guy who flies in on a Tuesday. I'm updating my resume to include synergy optimization. It feels like the right move.

@JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics Don’t back down!

To all the trolls commenting on this video with the exact same dumb comment (loser! 5th place!) and getting us to over 5 million views… thank you. With every comment you expose the inanity of your so called “thinking.”

Made in USA lead free water bottle. Works for hot drinks too. Limited edition from @xx_xyathletics We may be banished from various social media platforms but we still make and sell great stuff. Happy 250th 🇺🇸

@CollegeFBonX Pony Up!!

Who are you cheering for tonight in the First Four matchup? Miami or SMU?

@MyGolfSpy @PuttView What were the skill levels of the testers?

Blade vs Mallet Putters — What the Data Actually Says We analyzed 43,000+ putts using our algorithm and the @PuttView testing system to answer a simple question: Do mallet putters outperform blades? Short answer: Yes. And it’s not particularly close. Here’s what we found 👇 1️⃣ Overall Performance 2.6 stroke advantage for mallets. And it wasn’t just one or two golfers skewing the results. (85%) testers putted better with a mallet.

@Richard76202751 @MyGolfSpy @PuttView I second this!

@MyGolfSpy @PuttView Would be interested to see a mallet test on shaft type, slant neck vs. double bend. I get different results when testing in PGASS.
