Go buy some beef y’all.
Santa Carota Beef@SantaCarotaBeef
This is one of the hardest things we have ever had to share. We are not the kind of people who like to ask for help. We have always believed in putting our heads down, working hard, trusting God, and doing everything we can to carry the weight ourselves. But there comes a point where the truth is bigger than pride, and our customers, followers, supporters, and everyone deserves to know what is really happening. Right now, we are in a legal battle with a major meat processor. And while this fight has our name on it, it is much bigger than our family alone. Small producers, family ranchers, and farmers spend generations building something they are proud of, only to come up against an industry that too often protects power over people, profit over principle, and control over transparency. The effects do not stop with the people raising the food. They reach every person purchasing meat because corruption and lack of transparency in the beef industry affect the food system as a whole and the trust families place in what they buy and feed their loved ones. This fight has cost us deeply. Between personal health struggles and the weight of this battle, we have had to make sacrifices we never wanted to make. We have had to cut back on our restaurants and e-commerce. We have sold cattle to help pay attorney fees. We have carried stress, heartbreak, and pressure that, at times, have felt impossible to explain. But we are still here, and we are still fighting. We are fighting for our family, for our ranch, for the values we were raised on, and for every small rancher and farmer who has ever felt crushed under a system that was never built to protect them. So today, we are asking for help. If you believe in family ranches, quality food, hard work, and a more transparent, healthy, and clean food system, please stand with us. One of the best ways you can support us right now is by purchasing our beef at santacarota.com. We started a GoFundMe for those who want to be part of something bigger than our family alone. If you want to help us keep fighting, please consider donating and helping us fight for farmers, ranchers: gofund.me/5f9dbc127

FBI Director Kash Patel@FBIDirectorKash
The @FBI has identified cyber actors associated with Russian Intelligence Services targeting users of commercial messaging applications, including Signal. The campaign targets individuals of high intelligence value, including current and former U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists. Globally, this effort has resulted in unauthorized access to thousands of individual accounts. After gaining access, the actors can view messages and contact lists, send messages as the victim, and conduct additional phishing from a trusted identity. It's important for you to be aware and take action - this vulnerability is not with the application - but you as the end user. The FBI and CISA have released a joint PSA to help you identify this activity and protect your accounts: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA26…

@codym1917 @signalapp Used it for years, but since it’s no longer any more secure than what’s app…or Craigslist 😆😆🤣

I was always angry, and I had a huge hole in my heart. Nothing made me happy. Then I got married to a God-fearing woman, and at home she would read the Bible every morning. After a while she said, "do you want me to read aloud to you?" So I sat down, and she started reading the Bible aloud to me, every morning. Eventually I said, "Well, let me read it," and so I started to read it aloud to her. And then it was like the Lord said to me "Chuck, it's time to come home. It's been long enough." And now my heart is filled up again.'

We'd like to dedicate today's #LiberatedScreens to @DevuanOrg & Co. After systemd recently merged infrastructure code for age verification and locked discussions afterward, some of you may want to consider init freedom. Please see devuan.org/os/init-freedom for your options. #XLibre

Everyone complying with these draconian age-verification laws in free and open source software is weak-willed and spineless. They should be ostracized.

SystemD has added birth date storage in order to comply with Brazil and California Age Verification laws. Let that sink in. A Linux init system now handles Age Verification. github.com/systemd/system…

To my 1k new followers, let me introduce myself. In 2022, I became the only US physician to file a NYS Supreme court lawsuit against gender affirming care in minors. Not a single doctor stood beside me as I was slandered, harassed, threatened, and silenced.
I am a COVID whistleblower, and published multiple times on the topic.
I have written and introduced legislation criminalizing gender bending "doctors" and healthcare professionals.
I am vehemently anti vaccine and anti pharma. Our healthcare system is the killing fields.
I am against abortion, feminism, homosexuality, Islam, communism, and all other filth. I am an imperfect Christian, and my only concern is truth... which is Jesus.
You've been informed.

@JacobWindrix @SarahHuckabee ain't gotta lie to kick it boo:
"Voters who don't have a citizenship document with a photo, like a passport, would need to show two documents — such as a government-issued photo ID along with a document proving citizenship, like a birth certificate."
English
You have to show an ID to make a return, board a plane, or get a job, it’s crazy we wouldn’t require it to vote.
And it’s exactly why Arkansas has some of the safest, strongest, fairest elections in the country. Pass the SAVE America Act now.

@sudoingX My main use case is an ancient monolith at work that has about 4k lines of code per app, pure procedural. I might have to throw 3-4 apps at it, plus my code style/sys prompt and a bit of db info to get it to sane. Would this work on that?

this is the worst local ai will ever be. it only gets better from here.
if you are not expanding your mind with these small models you are missing what's happening right now 99 percent tool call success rate. when steered well with the right skills and a framework like hermes agent the node becomes a cognition layer. not a chatbot. not a toy. an extension of how you think.
i was cranking this node at 35 to 50 tok/s all day on personal experiments and now after all the work is done qwen 3.5 9B is iterating on its own code. the game it created. fixing its own bugs autonomously. and the part you should probably not miss is that all of this is happening on a RTX 3060. not an H100. not an A100. the card most of you have sitting in a drawer right now.
if you just open that drawer and put that intelligence to work every tensor core on that card should be running for you. your work. your experiments. your thinking. you all have it but because nobody told you what this hardware can actually do in 2026 you never tried.
the day it unlocks is the day you test your workload, understand the tradeoffs, debug the loops, and then decide if you need to scale the hardware. there is no point buying 3 mac studios when things done well you can squeeze a similar level of intelligence from 9B compared to 70B. but only when you create the right environment for your model through the right harness.
and let me tell you i have tried claude code as a local harness. i have tried opencode. i have tried various others. somehow i landed on hermes agent and never left. there is something magical going on at @NousResearch. the tool call parsers, the skills system, the way it handles small models natively. nothing else comes close for local inference.
own your cognition. your AI. your agent. your prompts. your experiments. why give them away for free. those are who you are and they don't belong on someone else's servers being monitored.
just give it a shot with your existing hardware. you run into a problem the community will help you. and if you are migrating from openclaw to hermes i will personally help you make the switch.

this is what 12 gigs of VRAM built in 2026. a 9 billion parameter model running on a 5 year old RTX 3060 wrote a full space shooter from a single prompt. blank screen on first try. i came back with a bug list and the same model on the same card fixed every issue across 11 files without touching a single line myself. enemies still looked wrong so i pushed another iteration and now the game has pixel art octopi, particle effects, screen shake, projectile physics and a combo system. all running locally on a card that was designed to play fortnite. three iterations. zero cloud. zero API calls. every token generated on hardware sitting under my desk. the model reads its own code, finds what's broken, patches it, validates syntax and restarts the server. i just describe what's wrong and it handles the rest. people are paying monthly subscriptions to type into a browser tab and wait for a server farm to respond. meanwhile a GPU you can find used on ebay is running a full autonomous hermes agent framework with 31 tools, 128K context window and thinking mode generating at 29 tokens per second nonstop. the game still needs work. level upgrades don't trigger and boss fights need tuning. but the fact that i'm iterating on gameplay balance instead of debugging whether the code runs at all tells you where this is headed. every iteration the game gets better on the same hardware. same 12 gigs. same 9 billion parameters. same RTX 3060 from 5 years ago your GPU is not a gaming card anymore. it's a local AI lab that never sends your data anywhere.

Last month, I shared a bit here about how my 17-year-old son has a passion for video game development and has spent hundreds of hours over the last 9 months creating his first game for release. Well, I want to let you know that Nitro Turtles is now out!
It's a party racing game (kind of like Mario Kart) and has 9 courses, a speedrun mode with online leaderboards, and split screen/online multiplayer. My husband and I played all 9 courses against each other last night and IT WAS SO FUN!
I'm so proud of him for the accomplishment. He has a really demanding junior year schedule of AP/Dual Credit/Honors classes, has straight As, and somehow managed to develop this all on his own out of pure passion. He started teaching himself programming in 3rd grade and just developed his skills from there. Nitro Turtles in the culmination of all the subsequent years of self-driven learning.
If you or your kids play computer games, I would love for you to check the game out on Steam!

drop your GPU below. i'll tell you exactly what model and config to run on it.
here's what i've tested and verified on real hardware:
RTX 3060 12GB - Qwen 3.5 9B Q4 - 50 tok/s - 128K context
RTX 3090 24GB - Qwen 3.5 27B Q4 - 35 tok/s - 300K context
RTX 3090 24GB - Qwen 3.5 35B MoE Q4 - 112 tok/s - 262K context
2x RTX 3090 - Qwen3-Coder 80B Q4 - 46 tok/s - full VRAM
all running llama.cpp with flash attention. every number is real. every config is tested. if your card isn't on this list drop it below and i'll tell you what fits.
