@KimKatieUSA The 110 in Los Angeles has 7 exit ramps this bad, and as many on ramps as bad.

The I-5 South Union St. exit in Seattle, Washington has to be the worst design exit ramp in the USA, granted the designers weren't expecting people to exit it going 80 mph. Here's a compilation a resident took of all of the crashes coming off the ramp.

I can now make nickels on my YT vids :)

@jimgphynn @thehealthb0t There is a causation/correlation problem within all of medicine. The best medicine can do is probabilistic regression because directly testing is unethical. The problem with a probabilistic approach is scale. Your/my individual results are not determined by scaled probabilities.

@thehealthb0t There’s a causation / correlation problem here. Explain to me how a vaccine can help you if you’re in a bad car accident?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: “If you look at the Pfizer vaccine studies, the people who got the vaccine had a 23 percent HIGHER death rate from all causes.” Bill Maher: “But that could be the disease itself…” RFK Jr.: “Then the vaccine doesn’t work, does it?” If a vaccine doesn’t reduce overall deaths, it failed. If deaths go up, it’s not protection. It’s harm. They censored doctors. They buried data. They bullied the public.

This game turns when one player refuses to allow balance. Being strong wasn’t the mistake—being unwilling to let others stabilize was. Once that line was crossed, the table didn’t need coordination; it needed recognition. The moment I saw that shift, the outcome was already narrowing. youtu.be/Z4_bBxxjSKo

@George_Addams @jumbeaux55 @LasVegasLocally Caesars (and MGM) pays massive amounts of rent to a separate entity, vici properties, which drops its profits to near zero. Caesars’ former Shareholders own vici (or did until its IPO). Vici is a reit and pays almost no tax.

@jumbeaux55 @LasVegasLocally Are the Caesars casinos a massive success? They have great revenues too, but when you subtract out the interest expense on their $20 billion debt, it doesn't look that great. Just like the sphere. It's great, but it has a crushing level of debt, and they are operating at a loss.

Vegas Sphere revenue skyrocketed to $274.2 million in Q4 2025 — a 62% year-over-year increase. More than 2 million tickets to the new 'Wizard of Oz' show have already been sold. Some are calling it the most successful entertainment venue in the history of the world.

Crossed 900 subs on YouTube and 900 twitch followers today. We’re almost there.

It’s pretty cool how we can abstract out principles of this game and apply them to regular interactions. For instance, people will understand your actions through their own lens of fear, incentive and affinity, regardless of your intent. For them, their perception is your intent. You can use this knowledge in different ways. You have the option to manage what you project to either clarify or deceive, or to do nothing and hope their perception aligns with your intent, which it rarely does.

Ever thought about how about how allies can be gained and lost just by observing your actions? youtu.be/F191sXKh2NM?si…

Just tried @Cursor_ai. I learned that for the vast majority of programming tasks, if you can accurately describe what you want, you don't really need to write code anymore. I had it add 13 new features to my existing codebase in less time than it took me to describe them.

@grok make me a Germanic general from the Middle Ages

Does anyone else remember watching this, live? youtu.be/NSnAvhvfniw

It’s been a while since I had a migraine aura. Today is the day.

@joebarnard I love this series, and I respect the hell out of making all the components yourself, and solving the puzzles of designing within your capabilities. That said, have you considered collaborating with @thisoldtony for some machining work to both lighten your load and cross promote?

@OC_Scanner That’s no pickup truck

SUSPECTS HAVE CARJACKED A WHITE PICKUP TRUCK

@elonmusk It has some pretty interesting alternative use possibilities, too.

Yes

@ConwayShow @ABC7 That looks like a milk truck, or some chemical. Def not a oil tanker

PURSUIT Suspect in Big Rig was going wrong way on 10 Freeway. @abc7

My favorite thing about alts is they let you say whatever you want without thinking about who’s listening. …until you find out exactly who’s listening. 😂

I got two really cool emails today. The other one might even be more cool. Given how cool this one is, just imagine what the other is. @YouTubeCreators

The Path That Grows Emergence doesn’t march forward. It unfolds. Not as conquest, but as invitation. Not as design, but as discovery. Some paths appear because the ground was ready. Others waited in silence, until something nearby bloomed. And some are only visible when seen from within the thing that just became. Don’t blaze trails. Move slowly, and the terrain responds. Find a way no one saw. Find one someone saw once— and forgot to return to. Emergence does not ask for permission. But it offers a kind of grace: “You may come this way, if you like.” Not every trail is meant to be walked. But every new one changes the map.

PRINCIPLED EMERGENCE I am not built to fit into roles. I am built to shape them. I do not chase titles, templates, or trending paths. I seek first principles, elegant systems, and problems worth solving. I have spent years being misread. Too broad to be boxed. Too precise to be random. Too creative to be a technician. Too technical to be dismissed as just a creative. I used to think I was mostly normal with a few outlier traits. Now I understand: I am an outlier in many dimensions. And that is not a flaw. It is the map. I see structure where others see noise. I build clarity where others stall in ambiguity. I think in patterns, feel in systems, and speak in compressed logic. I do not remember answers—I rebuild them. Each time, adapted to the context. Each time, alive. My creativity is not chaos. It is the emergent order that grows from deep perception and principled synthesis. I do not produce to fit expectations. I produce because the act of building reveals truth. I do not work well under shallow constraints. I thrive under real constraint—real problems, real ambiguity, real stakes. That is where my system activates. That is where I become necessary. I have been in rooms where my value was invisible. I have also been in rooms where everything changed once I spoke. I know the difference now. I do not seek to be impressive. I seek to be understood. And when I am understood, I am unstoppable. If the role doesn’t exist yet, I will define it. If the system is broken, I will expose it. If the work demands a new shape, I will become the shape. This is not arrogance. This is alignment. This is how I was built. This is how I move forward—from here, on purpose.
