Geek dad of five kids, living in nowhere Indiana working from home. If its about planes, music, politics, or annoying things, I'll probably complain about it.

BREAKING: Trump’s speech tonight will be broadcast live across all four major networks — CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox — beginning at 9 p.m. ET, interrupting several popular TV shows, including the two-hour season finale of The Masked Singer and a two-hour special episode of Survivor.

@epi56 @mcuban @PtRightsAdvoc Will disagree with this. Labcorp just took over our hospital’s testing and it’s been a shitshow to say the least. And costs have gone up.

@mcuban @PtRightsAdvoc Most patients are not aware that they pay much more for testing done through hospitals and hospital owned outpatient clinics compared to private practices. The difference for an echocardiogram is often well over $1k under commercial insurance.

@RichardHanania People who adopt by and large do not think of it as "someone else's child"

Having kids and seeing how much work it is has made the decision to adopt even more incomprehensible to me. No offense to those who do it, but I couldn’t imagine putting up with all the screaming and crying for someone else’s child.
Nicholas Decker@captgouda24

When I have children, I do not want them to be genetically mine. Instead, I will have someone better than me be the sperm donor. My reasoning here: nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/why-my-child…

@PolitiBunny How about kids that age out of the foster care system? They may be given their docs, etc...but those get lost pretty easily when you have to move. So now, it's a game of calling the county you think you were born in, getting the information right, etc.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out. Here's how it went: 1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14. 2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0. 3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5. It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops. Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID. I know you guys knew that already... lol

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. Why are you the only person saying this? Trump: Because I just don’t know enough about it.

SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell just outlined the most ambitious infrastructure commitment in the history of the technology industry. And it starts on the ground. Shotwell: “xAI will commit to develop 1.2 gigawatts of power as our supercomputer’s primary power source, and that will be for every additional data center as well.” Not drawing from the grid. Rebuilding it. Shotwell: “We’ll expand what is already the largest global megapack power installation in the world. The installation will provide enough backup power to the city of Memphis and more than sufficient energy to power the town of Southaven, Mississippi.” This is not a software company optimizing an algorithm. This is an industrial mobilization. Shotwell: “We will build state-of-the-art water recycling plants that will protect approximately 4.7 billion gallons of water in the Memphis aquifer each year.” Read that list again. 1.2 gigawatts of primary power. The world’s largest megapack installation. 4.7 billion gallons of protected water annually. Thousands of American workers on both sides of the Tennessee-Mississippi border. This is what winning looks like before anyone writes a line of code. And then Shotwell said what no tech company has ever said in a White House commitment. Shotwell: “We commit to take these efforts into orbit. We are currently designing orbital data centers powered by the nuclear reactor in the sky.” The nuclear reactor in the sky. The sun. Shotwell: “Launching supercomputers into space will mean even more energy on Earth, as all the power plants that we’re building now will be available to the communities instead of the data centres.” You cannot achieve infinite compute on a planet with finite surface energy. Space has no such constraint. The endgame of the AI arms race was never just about building the smartest model. It was about who could build the infrastructure to run it without limits. Shotwell: “I’m confident that we will win the race with AI with China and succeed in delivering inexpensive, abundant electricity for the American people.” Shotwell: “We are committed to deploying our AI technology to create a period of abundance where electricity becomes cheaper and people have access to the best goods and services humankind has ever seen.” Every tech race before this one was won in software. This one is being fought in gigawatts, megapacks, aquifers, and orbital infrastructure. The Earth has a ceiling. xAI just decided not to build under it.

Libertarians: You must be willing to unlearn what you have learned. Only then can you learn and grow and change. And we must change, because what we have been doing hasn't been working (New Hampshire excluded). I am lighting a new path for the liberty movement to try a new way of thinking and a new way of growing. Join us in 2026. Join the Libertarian Nationalist movement today! DM me for details.

@BradRTorgersen @JimKnowlton525 Side two of Abbey Road is still played orchestrally all over the place. It's a pinnacle of musicianship orchestrated by the Beatles of Sir George Martin.

@JimKnowlton525 Catchy hits for days. Nothing wrong with it. I only push back on people saying the Beatles completely changed music forever, and are the GOAT, no one else comes close. IMHO there were better musicians and singers, as well as better bands. Both during, and after.

I own a lot of Jethro Tull. I own all of Led Zeppelin. I own a lot of Yes. But I only have a "best of" remaster for The Beatles' top-most hits. For a reason. In their moment, they were the greatest Boy Band hit machine anyone had ever seen. But they also suffered colossal audience capture as a result. And it cost them. By 1969 the stress of grinding out catchy Top 40 had doomed the project. They were neither the best musicians, nor the best song-writers. Merely, the best "product" for a radio era which demanded it of them.
Edmund@Kulambq

I've always had this subtle intuition about The Beatles that Piero Scaruffi here articulates.

Grok can help with your taxes
James Burnham@BurnhamDC

Doublecheck your taxes with @grok. A friend had Grok doublecheck TurboTax and it increased her tax refund by $1400. That covers nearly four years of Grok Premium! Disclaimer: This/Grok is not tax advice so always confirm yourself too.

@charlescwcooke The argument *CAN* be made until late 1965 when Rubber Soul was written/recorded. George Martin took their catchy hooks and showed them they could do so much more.

Yeah, no. Political commentators like Dave Smith endorsed and supported Trump in 2024. They had his entire first term as a blueprint. They made this possible. They don't get to be aghast now.
