Shouldn’t the American people be getting getting their money’s worth?

@NanSenseGuy @IDF Thats utter NaanSense. Is death no longer part of human experience? Humanity exists in the grays, the nuance, its unrelenting Opacity. Base level what is both parties goal & how do they differ.

@IDF Turning death and destruction into a Spotify Wrapped parody? This is grotesque on a whole new level. Celebrating violence like it's a greatest hits album only highlights how far the humanity has been stripped out of this conflict. War crimes as "accomplishments"? Shameful.

Thought we would share our year, wrapped.

This is not a motherboard - it's the Gwangyang Steel Plant in South Korea, the world's largest steel mill

@unusual_whales They are gonna garner less sympathy than the ILA Port workers did on their strike lol.

BREAKING: Elon Musk and Vivek’s Department of Government Efficency may require federal employees to come into the office five days a week, which they argued could lead to "a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don't want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn't pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home."

@othingstodo_com Shit could you imagine how GenX & Millenial parents would act today if there wasn't Xbox, youtube and non stop tv programming to keep their kids occupied?

I’m at Stanford and I research software engineering productivity. We have data on the performance of >50k engineers from 100s of companies. Inspired by @deedydas, our research shows: ~9.5% of software engineers do virtually nothing: Ghost Engineers (0.1x-ers)

It just keeps getting weirder. The Canard Enchainé (France's most renowned investigation newspaper) reveals that Pavel Durov told the policemen who arrested him when he landed that he came to have dinner with Macron. Did Macron himself set up a trap to lure Durov to his arrest?

French police who arrested Pavel Durov told the newspapers @canardenchaine that Pavel flew to Paris because he was invited to dinner by Emmanuel Macron. Did the President of France personally lure Pavel to France to arrest him? This story is getting crazier by the day. #FreePavel

The Biden administration is suing Sheetz for discriminating against minorities. The reason? The company requires all the applicants to first pass a criminal record background check. You are now required to hire criminals.

@agi2025 What does that even mean?

I've heard that GPT-5 is 5 to 10 times stronger than GPT-4.

You can't spell October without the O's.

@cmcateer3 "Never let a good crisis go to waste."

One of the most effective tactics used by politicians, aside from grandiose promises, is the use of the word “ crisis” which real or not always prompts action on the part of people to support the politician's agenda. To find the truth involves a good rough scrub cloth.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." --Rudyard Kipling
