I think I found my soulmate: 😌

@Thinkwert Been waiting most of my life for this exact thing!

Semi-serious question: how long till I can ask an LLM to code for me a bespoke Crusader Kings-type strategy game with Total War-type battle mechanics set in Ancient Rome

Live long and prosper.

The police just came to my office and confiscated all my firearms. Just happened.

Discovered in a 2,600-year-old shipwreck off the coast of Gela, Sicily, these ingots are made of orichalcum, a rare golden-hued alloy famously mentioned in ancient texts. Dating to the 6th Century BC, this find was revolutionary, as it provided the first physical evidence of a metal previously thought by many to be purely mythological. The alloy is primarily composed of copper and zinc, resembling a type of brass that was highly prized for its beauty and durability. In antiquity, it was considered second in value only to gold and was often associated with the legendary descriptions of Atlantis provided by Plato. The shipwrecked vessel was likely a merchant ship carrying the metal to a local workshop to be crafted into jewelry or decorative ornaments. This discovery confirms that orichalcum was a real commodity in the Mediterranean trade network, bridging the gap between legend and historical reality. #archaeohistories

This dude restored a glove and it might be the best thing I’ve ever seen. Especially when it was being re-laced. If you have a couple minutes to spare, I highly recommend watching this video.

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

They can't get their SBA loans renewed. They can't get H-1B workers any more. EBT cards no longer work for most of their junk food. 7-11 closing 645 stores this year.

🚨 WOW! Joe Rogan reveals President Trump IMMEDIATELY offered him FDA approval for a psychedelic treatment in a text chain Because the data was SO CONVINCING and STUNNING "I wanna tell everybody how this happened. I send President Trump some information." "With one dose of Ibogaine, more than 80% of people are free of that addiction. With two doses, it's more than 90%. I sent him that information." "The text message came back, sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it. It was literally that quick!" "For 56 years, we've lived under those terrible conditions. We're free of that now." "We're free of that now, thanks to all these people that you see next to me, and thanks to President Trump!" — @joerogan

Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress. The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely. Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on. The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors. Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

WTI oil back below $90 and nearing the key Landman Billy Bob benchmark: $78

Back in Hazzard County these two country boys took a wrecked old Dodge Charger and turned it into the legendary orange General Lee — slapping on the Confederate flag roof, the big 01 doors, and that famous Dixie horn. From the junkyard to the open road, one wild rebuild that became pure TV history. Would you ever help build a car like the General Lee from scratch? Or is this exactly why some rides become legends the second they hit the pavement?

There’s live TV, and then there’s Beastie Boys tearing through “Sabotage” on Letterman in 1994 like they were trying to blow the roof off the place.

I’ve watched this scene 1,000x and I think about it every day.
