@elonmusk False equivalently. You can argue that autonomy is a form of mass transit but nobody was taking elevators for a Sunday drive or cruising down Woodward or doing laps at the brickyard. Cars have an enthusiasm that elevators don't.

@Polymarket $200 oil is crisis level. It's not going to happen in the US. Between fracking and the strategic reserve, the market won't bear or allow $200 oil. What a stupid thing to say.

@KlausGleixner @roy_nathanson @Hi5HANK @gummibear737 I agree in principle. Some states took action immediately then nothing has changed since. I don't advocate for a national solution, but I did expect faster convergence. Abortion is only discussed in presidential election years. It's still more posture then principle.

@VotesForLizards @roy_nathanson @Hi5HANK @gummibear737 The EU nations all have different rules. Letting the states decide is similar in America. IMO, my state, Florida, is too restrictive, with its heartbeat rule. But I couldn't live in a state that allows elective abortions in the late 2nd trimester, or 3rd trimester.

I’m gonna take a flamethrower to the woke right Why am I so belligerent? I don’t want stupid people sabotaging the fight against the existential threat posed by the progressive left Neomarxism? If you agree it’s an existential theat, then maybe pillows aren’t that important

@justin_hart Economic policy has prioritized stability over anything else since 2008. We're just reaching the inevitable impasse now. Too big to fail means there's no cheap entry to markets. Consolidation and oligopoly are the game today.

Justin Hart@justin_hart·
Canada lost 83,900 jobs in February — worst month in 4 years. Economists expected +10K. That's a 94K miss. 13 of 16 industries negative. 108K full-time jobs gone. Three bad months in a row. And this isn't a Canada thing. US payrolls dropped in Feb too. UK shedding jobs. Japan in unofficial recession. The "2026 is the year of reflation" crowd is very quiet right now. The pattern: labor markets started flattening in early 2024. Brief rebounds from tariff front-running created false positives. Every bounce was followed by deeper weakness. Full-time jobs getting replaced by part-time everywhere. Bond markets already pricing rate hikes out. Central bankers will fixate on oil and inflation while unemployment climbs. This isn't about tariffs. The global economy forgot how to grow after the lockdowns and it still hasn't remembered.

@disneyglimpses My postpartum self cannot watch a second of this ad without bawling my eyes out. I have so many great memories of the cruise, some with people who are now gone. Can’t wait to keep the traditions going with my little girls. 3 YO is already a fellow cruise addict

Been a while since Disney has leaned into marketing this way. I wish they'd do it more. This accurately portrays how important these experiences are to their most loyal guests.
Scott Gustin@ScottGustin

NEW: Disney Cruise Line debuted a new ad titled “Midnight Magic” during the Academy Awards on ABC, and it’s a tearjerker. The spot follows a father and son sharing a quiet tradition aboard a Disney ship, a ritual that carries their relationship from childhood into adulthood.

@KlausGleixner @roy_nathanson @Hi5HANK @gummibear737 Holy old post. Nobody seems to be in any hurry to fix this. My stance is still if the post-Christian EU can agree on a viability metric then the US should too. The only reason we don't is the ambiguity serves political ends.

@VotesForLizards @roy_nathanson @Hi5HANK @gummibear737 Most European nations set the limit on elective abortion at 12-14 weeks (LMP), except Nordic nations at 18-24 weeks. A baby can be viable as early as 21 weeks now. I'd prefer a limit that's well before viability, but with ample time to decide and plan, such as 14-16 weeks.

@gummibear737 Isn't the "stealing isn't bad" the whole premise for not prosecuting shoplifters in Blue cities? We're already there.

One of the reasons that religion is important in societies is because it imposes a moral framework that doesn't have to be explained...just follow the rules (don't kill, steal...etc) You need this because half of people have IQs under 100 and most are not educated But now social media comes along, and absolutely everything can be relitigated Today it's that we should hate Jews without even knowing why...tomorrow it will be "why is stealing bad" Don't believe me? We just got over having to relitigate what a man and woman were!! As crazy as that sounds, that happened The damage being done to society is immeasurable Jews are just the canary in the coal mine for what is a much worse sickness that is overtaking large segments of our population
Israel Advocacy Movement@israel_advocacy

I made the mistake of asking why she hated Jews… I wasn't ready for her answer. 🫣

@detroitotaku @mattforney Running a member of the current administration like Benson is also bizarre. It's very difficult to run on "fixing things" because you should have already done something with the 8 years you were in power.

@VotesForLizards @mattforney MIGOP was also very inept by the time Engler won his first term. He was a 14 point underdog to Blanchard who was all but expected to win a third term. But we know what happened next. Winning three terms in a row is VERY hard to do even in a favorable environment.

@Hold2LLC @SuperGrok I've discussed it with coworkers. 5.2 absolutely sucked. 5.4 avoids generating code and keeps injecting google image search results for no discernable reason.

@VotesForLizards Yes, when asking @SuperGrok to explain why, it said, "I did not 'review the history to be sure' in the way a human would; I generated claims based on a corrupted internal summary that persisted across turns." It also claimed this is a well-known limitation of LLMs.

Is this true for all LLMs? Is there a version of any LLM where this type of idiocy doesn't continually happen? I get this all the time with SuperGrok, ChatGPT (paid), and GitHub CoPilot (all agents) TLDR of the screenshot is: - I ask a question related to the immediately-preceding exchange (most recent 4-5 messages) - @SuperGrok gives the wrong answer by 1 message - I tell it that's the wrong answer - It bakes the wrong answer into every reply no matter how much I scream until I tell it to literally print the conversation, after which it goes, "Oh, oops, you're right." - Its excuse is "persisted reasoning"

@Hold2LLC @SuperGrok Yeah, it's all about generating the response they think has the highest probability of being what you wanted. Accuracy is secondary. I think they're also working on efficiency. GPT5 is behaving like 3 did. The late 4s didn't repeat themselves all the time.

@tlowdon He kept using the AIDS playbook, which I've also seen pretty significant criticism for. Dude was a one trick pony and persisted in a buerocracy without accountability.

Among the worst of Fauci's flaws was his utter refusal to deal honestly with anything that countered his "COVID=Black Plague" narrative. Can anyone recall him addressing seriously COVID's flu-like IFR, the sharp decline in hospital activity/occupancy, the higher infection rates among the vaxxed, or the ineffectiveness of lockdowns, mask & vaxx mandates? His tactic of uniformly ignoring, dismissing or denigrating any contrarians or contrary facts was a disastrous trait in a public health leader tasked with addressing a potential crisis.
Don Wolt@tlowdon

6 years ago, Fauci stoked fear when he told Congress COVID had a mortality rate of ~3% which could drop to ~1%, making it roughly 10X more lethal than seasonal flu (with an IFR of 0.1%). In fact, it always had an IFR about like that of the flu, but he never corrected his testimony.

@Urban__Tree The new Ducktales show was immensely guilty of this and turned out as kind of a mixed bag. David Tennant was good as Scrooge but the boys were a mixed bag. The real confusion for me is these big names have to be pulling bigger paychecks then your average VA. Why do it?

Florida is becoming the most compelling state in the USA. 0% income tax rate; soon to be 0% property taxes, runs a budget surplus; has $15B in reserves. It will become the fastest growing state in the next year. States should take note of what is working there and try to emulate.

The west has forgotten why it rejected populism after WW2 The left largely started it by embracing populist neo-marxism, and the right is catching up by turning to populist neo-fascism All both sides preach is fear/outrage and the only solution they offer is authoritarianism
