@HQNewsNow ...... then the Cylons leveled Caprica, and...

Melania: The future of AI is personified. It will be formed in the shape of humans. Very soon, artificial intelligence will move from our mobile phones to humanoids that deliver utility. They fit well. Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato

If OpenAi is stopping video for Disney, then I expect some bs shortly about how it should all be regulated - for the poors, only the Corporate Studios can be "responsible", or some such angle. They see a future where we make movies. I promise you they are wanting to stop that.

@HumansNoContext Covid wrecked frontal lobes, amygdala executive thinking.

How are people just so angry 24/7 😭

@theliamnissan Covid wrecked amygdalas are making executive decisions a lot these days.

If this guy put his body in front of Alan Ritchson's motorcycle on purpose then he is the aggressor and should face charges, not Ritchson

@fiagirly ... a guy named Michael also had some equally ... individual... fashion ideas.

🗞️ | Lewis Hamilton for Esquire: “To be a racing driver, you had to fit a certain shape: go to bed at 10 PM, dress a certain way. For most of my career, every driver arrived in team kits designed by people outside of fashion; the clothes were horrendous.” “I'd arrive and feel terrible wearing the same thing 180 days a year. I asked if I could show up in my own style and change into the kit later. It took a long time to get the bosses to agree. I basically had to break the rules.”

@theliamnissan He can't act, but at least he bathes.

😭

@SolidEvidence You are battling propaganda bots....

I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

@AmandaRay02 @SolidEvidence @hatetorycuts The point is not "the framing", you are accomplishing nothing.

I don’t think anyone is disputing the supply issue or your notice that part is clear and credible. The point is the framing. Opening with “I hope no one needs an MRI this year” presents a worst-case interpretation as if it’s the expected outcome, and that’s what people react to. You can see that in the replies, it’s already being read as a broader healthcare failure rather than a supply constraint. Given the current climate, with conflict in Middle East, financial pressures and healthcare people are already under strain and concerned about access to care. Framing matters more in that context, because it can easily amplify anxiety beyond what the situation actually supports.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

@COMMON_IDEOLOGY @AesPolitics1 Aliexpress thanks you.

@AesPolitics1 It’s a great guitar

10,000 dollars for a guitar signed by a sex offender

@Acyn IT IS BY DECREE! OBEY!

Trump: I have much more power in my second term. I said I'm going to sign an executive order to ensure that the second Saturday in December, is preserved exclusively, nobody is playing football. Not Ohio state against Notre Dame. Not LSU against Alabama. Nobody is going to play football for four hours during that very special time of the year in December. It's preserved forever for the army-navy game. If you don't want to watch football, you don't have to. But if you want to watch football, you are only watching one game. You are not watching 19 different games.

If the State Department has any more details - other than warning the entire world - it should be specific. There is no point otherwise, vague posting is useless.

@TheProjectUnity Artisanal slave class.

What did humanity lose that stopped us making things like this?

@davepl1968 127.

Going on a limb here... without even thinking, this better be 127 or I'm going to doubt autism is a superpower.

@jimstewartson "DSM V"

These people are literally not like us. They are missing circuitry which causes normies to give a shit about the negative impact our actions have on others. They don’t like introspection because it means facing their own evil. They are deviants—in a clinical sense. They have no conscience at all. It’s why empathy is so foreign to them. They truly and literally don’t get why people care about others. People like this shouldn’t be around humans at all unsupervised—much less allowed to drive the entire world into a brick wall.

@MalikAlyza Do you like your face? Pray.

Help.. I’m cat-sitting and it’s my first time having a cat sit on me. What do I do?

@bucfanjoe @GamewithDave HIMEM 386.SYS represent

@GamewithDave Setting up custom Autoexec.bat and Config.sys for each game and keeping them on a boot floppy.

Age yourself with something kids today wouldn’t understand 🤔 I’ll start: Installing a game across 6 floppy disks.

@sciencegirl Reviewbrah is still ~15 years ahead in pioneering the Neo-Cyber Punk Dandy trend, I will wait for the mainstream to catch up.

Guys, what’s stopping you having a moustache like this
