Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?

@elonmusk Any chance Nolan does a Roots remake with All White cast? I'm not good with AI. So someone could do it if not done already

@WSOP This seems particularly insane to me and actually cruel. Dealer makes a blunder, 8 people whip their phone out, shaming/embarrassing someone already very stressed. This is the worst idea I've ever heard unless we get to rate their body and face too then I'm ok with it.

Sign of a good neighborhood: Almost everyone has a dog and walks them in public. Those that don’t like dogs, are typically gonna be a net negative to your community. Dogs are the best. Be leery of anyone who doesn’t like dogs. There is likely something wrong with them.

If you use TikTok, you should read this once. In October 2024, a court clerk in Kentucky uploaded the lawsuit against TikTok with the confidential sections still visible. NPR downloaded it before anyone caught the mistake. By the time the court resealed it, the internet had a copy. What was inside was TikTok's own engineers, in their own words, describing what their app does to a human brain. Not a critic's brain. Yours. Here is what they wrote down. — TikTok ran the math on how long it takes to develop "compulsive use" of the app. The number is 260 videos. With 8-second videos played in rapid-fire succession, that works out to roughly 35 minutes. The company's internal documents call this the compulsive-use threshold. — TikTok's own research describes what compulsive use causes: "diminished analytical ability, impaired memory, contextual reasoning, conversational depth, empathy, and heightened anxiety." That is not a quote from a critic. That is TikTok's own language, in its own internal documents. — A team inside the company called "TikTank" wrote in an internal report that compulsive use on the platform was "rampant." — After 30 minutes of continuous use in one sitting, the company's own documents state that users are placed into "filter bubbles" — algorithmic loops the user did not choose and cannot easily escape. Then there is the screen-time tool — the one TikTok publicly markets as proof it cares. — TikTok ran an experiment on the 60-minute screen-time prompt. Daily teen usage dropped from 108.5 minutes to 107. A reduction of 1.5 minutes. — Internally, the screen-time tool was not measured by whether it reduced screen time. Its top success metric, in writing, was "improving public trust in the TikTok platform via media coverage." — A project manager wrote in internal chat: "Our goal is not to reduce the time spent." Another employee added that the goal was "to contribute to daily active users and retention." — A TikTok executive approved the screen-time feature only on the condition that its impact on the company's "core metrics" was minimal. The lawsuit alleges the company planned to "revisit the design" if the tool ever reduced usage by more than 10%. The "Are you still scrolling?" break videos? An executive admitted in an internal meeting they were "useful talking points" for lawmakers, but "not altogether effective." Then there is the algorithm itself. — An internal report flagged that the For You feed was showing what the company called "a high volume of not attractive subjects." TikTok then retooled the algorithm to suppress those users. Kentucky authorities wrote: "By changing the TikTok algorithm to show fewer 'not attractive subjects' in the For You feed, [TikTok] took active steps to promote a narrow beauty norm even though it could negatively impact their Young Users." That sentence is the entire pitch of the platform, said out loud. — Internally, TikTok also acknowledged that its publicly reported content moderation metrics were "mostly misleading," because they only measured the content the company successfully moderated — never the content it missed. Now read those bullet points again as one continuous case. The company knows the addiction threshold. The company measured it. The company ranked engagement over mental health in writing. The company built a screen-time tool whose internal success metric was PR. The company suppressed people it deemed unattractive to keep you scrolling. The company called its own moderation numbers misleading. None of this is a leaked rumor. None of this is a journalist's interpretation. This is a court filing. The documents are TikTok's. The words are TikTok's. The math is TikTok's. The 14 state attorneys general who signed onto this lawsuit aren't fringe activists. They're a bipartisan coalition. Sources at the bottom: NPR, CNN, AP, Mashable, OPB, The Independent. All citing the same accidentally-unsealed Kentucky filing from October 11, 2024. The next time the company tells you it cares about your wellbeing — the screen-time prompts, the break videos, the safety features, the careful PR statements — remember that its own engineers wrote down, in court-admissible language, that the safeguards were never meant to work. The app is not broken. It is performing exactly as designed. You were the spec.

.@elonmusk just crossed $800 billion — roughly 2.7% of the entire US GDP. The last person to hold that much of the American economy? John D. Rockefeller in 1913. It took a century for anyone to match him. Rockefeller had oil. Musk has the future.

This is the sound of the all-electric Tesla Semi. Deliveries of the new Production Version begin this year: • Long Range model has 500 miles of range with a full payload. • 1.7 kWh per mile efficiency (average diesel semis are roughly 5–7 kWh per mile equivalent energy use). • Tri-motor powertrain with 800 kW of power (~1,073 hp), 3x the power of the average diesel semi. • The battery in the Semi is designed to last 1M miles. • Standard Range model (325 mi) has a similar turning radius as a Tesla Model 3/Y. • 0.4 drag coefficient. • Independent truckers are able to buy a Semi for use, not just fleet owners. • Semi fleet uptime is at 95% due to extremely low maintenance and reliability. • Integrated safety features in the Semi protect not just the driver but others on the road as well. • Future wireless charging. • Semi uses the same 4680 battery cells found in the Cybertruck. • Semi can power a whole refrigeration trailer or any powered unit. The technology is shared with Cybertruck Powershare.

@RealKidPoker And I thought supercalifragilisticexpialidocious would have been the toughest one to recall. These people have no better use of their time then memorize some useless acronym that, as you stated so well, destroyer and bastardized the true original LGB rights.

Im really not trying to be mean or rude here, but how did we get here Canada? MMIW2SLGBTQQIA+ Are you really not aware of how silly this sounds? It makes for a strong password, but 15 characters is no longer an acronym. What you have done is ultimately damage the gay community and diminish the strides made for gay rights. Let’s break it down: LGB- this is simply an acronym about sexual orientation. In this group: Lesbian- women who like women Gay- men who like men Bisexual- men or women who like both Simple, easy, and clear. Then we added the T. The T is not a sexual orientation. It has nothing to do with sexual attraction, it is a group of people who believe their minds do not match their body parts. QQ- Anyone really know what this is? Queer, and Questioning. Ok cool. I? A? +? Anyone? Most have no idea who these letters represent. 2S- Ok, so 2 spirit Now you add: MMIW None of you know what that is, neither did I so I looked it up: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Missing or murdered women is sad, but how in the world does this make any sense to add to an acronym that was supposed to be about sexual orientation? If the ultimate goal it to add every group you deem to be marginalized, it would probably be easier to go with “Non SWM” SWM- Straight, White, Male I truly believe the gay community has suffered most by their movement being totally hijacked and distorted into pure chaos.

NDP MP Leah Gazan condemns Budget 2026 for cutting $7B from Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous relations. "They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+," she said. "Rates of violence are increasing, and the PM is turning a blind eye."

The "replacing Bo" conversation has focused too heavily on offence, which I understand given who Bichette was to the #BlueJays. ... But the upgrade to Andrés Giménez on the defensive side is simply massive. This team can find runs elsewhere. Giménez is a rare defender.

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

When I was at the Binance Inner Circle VIP retreat in Italy in October, a top employee of @Citadel took the microphone during dinner. He argued in favor of introducing a circuit breaker on cryptocurrencies, saying that we should pressure all protocols to integrate it into the chains, on all CEXs, etc., so that in the event of a crash, everyone can take the time to adjust the algorithms, agree on a price, and avoid significant losses like on October 10. The worst part? Two-thirds of the people in the room agreed and didn't see what the problem was. At my table, we joked that we might as well go even further and all agree on the price of BTC. The advent of decentralized finance will put an end to this incompetence that has rotted the system to the core by enriching the most stupid people on the planet. @nntaleb says in his book that most Wall Street guys are overpaid idiots. It is absolutely accurate. Boomer finance is a walking zombie. Its end will be glorious.
