Overheard on a walk today: my son has passed the latest exam for MI-6 so he'll be moving into the next round. I'm not sure you're helping him...

@Mr_Chestnut_ @scottsantens @TechLayoffLover @AndrewYang 1 - how did I distort ur argument? Not saying I didn't, how u think I did will clarify ur intended point. 2 - u can still discuss as 'here is a problem that needs to be solved' instead of being a wall Dull b/c ur statement is unoriginal. I don't know Scott, has nothing to do w/me

@SinopaFox @scottsantens @TechLayoffLover @AndrewYang 100% of what you presented was a strawman argument. Yeah, it's "dull" because it came from your mouth, not mine Similarly, Scott posted that article as a response and then blocked me because his fragile ego couldn't handle my actual counterargument, and so he made up his own

Computer science professor at a major state university just finished the worst faculty meeting in 32 years of academia Department head dropped the placement statistics like a bomb at 2:47 PM on a Wednesday 2023: 89% placement rate within 6 months of graduation 2024: 67% placement rate 2025: 34% placement rate 2026 projections: 12% placement rate 312 CS majors graduating this spring. Industry contacts saying maybe 40 will find work. The dean wants to know why enrollment is still climbing while job prospects crater Faculty sitting there like deer in headlights because what the fuck do you tell 19-year-olds taking out $40k per year in loans Half the curriculum is already obsolete. Teaching data structures while companies replace entire engineering teams with Claude and Cursor. One professor suggested pivoting to "AI collaboration skills" and got laughed out of the room Another said we should warn students. Department head said that would "damage program reputation and university revenue" So they keep taking tuition money from kids who will graduate into a wasteland Career services still posts those bullshit salary averages from 2022 when new grads were getting $140k offers Now the same companies are hiring 2 senior engineers with AI tools instead of 12 junior developers Every CS professor knows their students are walking into a meat grinder But the university needs those enrollment numbers to hit budget targets They're literally selling degrees that lead to DoorDash driving

@Mr_Chestnut_ @scottsantens @TechLayoffLover @AndrewYang So people only work because they have to? Not the countless people drawn to things they love? Or perhaps a social service requirement to get UBI? My dude... You are dull. How about pivoting to presenting a perceived issue and collaborating solutions?

@scottsantens @TechLayoffLover @AndrewYang UBI is how you create an eternally dependent, helpless underclass

@HammerZone_Xtra @scottsantens @TechLayoffLover @AndrewYang Require the billions racking in from AI profit to put a percent of that profit into a dividend producing hold to pay the UBI....

@scottsantens @TechLayoffLover @AndrewYang Great idea. Go make a few billion dollars and start giving money away.

@TechLayoffLover It's almost like for profit education shouldn't exist. It should be for societial gaps/needs and not put people in debt. Want to pursue something not really needed? Then you can pay out of pocket

@SenWarren The people here so disgusted by a TV show that has been called the most real to life medical show being used because it isn't reality don't seem to understand that Breaking Bad also only exists because of our crappy healthcare system... Art imitates reality

If you watch The Pitt, you know how hard our health care providers work. So why did Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress pass a bill to make their lives even harder?

As climate disasters worsen, the Trump administration is doubling down on fossil fuels while attacking affordable, renewable energy—trying to cancel offshore wind projects and wiping out nearly 40,000 good-paying jobs. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

@AJamesMcCarthy @johnkrausphotos Make these photos into something with all your stories. A coffee table book, a calendar, something. I beg you!

This photo has a very personal meaning for me if you care to read it. I saw a photo from @johnkrausphotos on reddit nearly a decade ago of the engines on a Falcon Heavy launch. I was working at a tough sales job at the time. The shot inspired me to learn more about space and spaceflight. Shortly after, I bought my first telescope. I saw Jupiter, Saturn, and Nebulae, and started social media accounts where I shared my amateur photos. Then I was laid off, and Covid happened. Moved from Sacramento to Arizona for clearer skies, cheaper cost of living, and a chance to go all-in on space photography. My audience started to grow. Then, NASA contacted me, asking me if they could use some of my moon photos for something called Artemis. I said yes. During the Artemis I rollout my DMs blew up “Andrew- your photo is on the Mobile Launch Platform!”. Now I knew that astrophotography wasn’t enough… I should probably pay attention to spaceflight. I spent a lot coming out to the first launch attempt, which would be my first rocket launch if it flew. Sadly, it was a scrub. I came home from Florida, sharing my stories of touring the VAB and facilities with my grandfather, who worked on Apollo. He passed shortly after, which affected my ability to return to watch the SLS flew. Feeling bummed out, I focused back on my deep sky work, but then I started hearing about something called “Starship”. I caught a video from @Erdayastronaut where a rocket ship fell through the air belly-first and flipped upright and landed. Inspired, I knew I had to witness one of these machines fly, so I flew to Starbase the moment I could afford it, which was for the second fully integrated flight test. The moment Starship lifted off the pad, I was hooked. There was nothing quite like the experience. I did everything I could to catch every launch I could, and worked to become credentialed media to get better access. Last year I flew from Arizona to Florida & Texas over a dozen times specifically to sharpen my launch photography skills with our first human spaceflight to the moon in over 50 years looming. A decade of preparation for a split second moment. When I picked up my camera from the launch pad yesterday morning and peeked at what was captured, I knew it was all worth it. Thank you, NASA, Artemis, and the all people who inspired me along the way. This is still only the beginning.

@AJamesMcCarthy I want a whole calendar that is just Artemis shots you rook

The shots from my remote cameras are absolutely unreal. Hopefully will have something mind-blowing to share tomorrow :)

The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) were created to protect public health—decreasing risks of cancer and heart and lung disease. These standards were updated in 2024, but the Trump administration just rolled back these important updates. We will see them in court for repealing these stronger standards.

Donald Trump did this:

Under Bernie’s 5% billionaire wealth tax, Jamie Dimon would owe $135 million in taxes, he’d still have $2.57 billion in wealth & every senior would get dental, vision & hearing benefits. Seems pretty fair for the CEO of a bank fined $27B for fraud & $290M for the Epstein scandal.

@spewbaca @NYCMayor Non-profits post their accounting publicly

@NYCMayor If we're in fact in a budget crisis, then every box on this pretty graphic should say "Cut Spending" or "Audit Non-Profits."

More than 11,000 of you voted — and now we’re down to the quarterfinals of the Mayor's Municipal Madness! It’s time to vote again. Do you want to see me… • Fix a public water fountain in the Lower East Side OR repair playground fencing in Morris Park? • Clean up illegal dumping in Soundview OR install dog waste bag dispensers in Sunset Park? • Replace missing litter baskets in Bushwick OR replace boardwalk plans in South Beach? • Resurface a basketball court in Morrisania OR paint a handball wall in East Harlem? Vote now at nyc.gov/madness - round 2 voting closes tonight at 10PM! And remember - every item is already scheduled to be repaired...but only one will be taken care of by yours truly.

If you asked me to cast @projecthailmary , @RyanGosling would not have even been on my list. The trailer was ok. The movie? Epic. His comedic timing in words and his physical comedy brings out the science nerd/awkward science teacher perfectly. Amazing. Well done ❤️

@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani These comments are so sickening. So much hatred. This level of vitriol is unconscionable. I cannot comprehend the level of cognitive dissonance needed and outright bigotry to make these statements.

ICE doesn’t belong at our airports. Our Office of Immigrant Affairs has updated guidance and you can call their legal hotline at 800-354-0365.

@FFRF Them being too dumb to take seriously is how we got here...

We started drafting a response about how the U.S. isn’t a Christian nation, separation of church and state, all of it. But honestly? This is too ridiculous to take seriously. Equal parts embarrassing and absurd. What a clown.

@mishacollins @DoorDash Well... Dmitri is like one of my all time favorite names

Dear @DoorDash, First, Dmitri is my legal name, but please, call me Misha. Second, thank you taking the time to rectify this important matter! Since you are a delivery service, I think it would be easiest if you just had a driver deliver 10 cents directly to my home. Thanks in advance for the dime! -Dmitri (AKA Misha)

Trump is at 4 trillion US debt in a little over a year. He is on track to hit 50 trillion before he leaves office which I stated he would do last suumer. He had 7.8 trillion his first term. That means he would have just about 23 trillion of the 50 trillion in debt, which is 46 percent of our nations debt in 8 years in office. When you see how rapidly the net worth of billionaires has escalated during his time in office, including his and his families, you can only conclude that we have been robbed. Our kids future destroyed and not a single piece of new infrastructure. America is being bankrupted on purpose.

@alt_w_v_g I always mention that "I already donate to (local version)' to avoid the side eye

Went to the grocery store this morning Bread, milk, eggs $47.63 The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital I pressed no The cashier looked at me The woman behind me looked at me My wife looked at the ceiling Again This company made $14 billion last year They can round up Went to get gas after The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans I support veterans I pressed no A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon That's not philanthropy That's outsourcing Drove through for lunch Taco Bell The screen said "round up for education?"
