@farzyness @RobertMSterling Private Robovans for the win

There's an UNBELIEVABLE use case for regional trips in the US that will decimate air travel and buses. Fully autonomous Tesla Robovans outfitted as long-haul first-class "buses". These would run routes similar to Amtrak or Greyhounds, but with First-Class-like comfort, amenities, and space. The price per seat of these can be the same as a bus, but FAR more comfortable and FAR more luxurious. Can obviously optimize the interior for the best configuration but MAN. This would absolutely KILL.

@bostonradio Dude can’t sign for shit.

Meanwhile, across from Fenway Park last night, a 71‑year‑old dude ended his set with ‘Jump’…there are dumber ways to lose $50, but not many.

@Alaric_E @bostonradio Ok, Donald. Back to sorting out Iran if you don’t mind.

@bostonradio Roth could never actually sing correctly or some might say at all so its no surprise that he sounds awful now.

@lucyshow11 When I was in high school in the 1970’s, there was only one beer we drank. And it was .99 cents a six pack. And for what it’s worth, throw a lime in it, and you can’t taste the difference between it and a Corona.

You’re in high school in the 70s/80s what’s your choice of beer? 🍺

@LordotDragons @USN_Submariner This guy’s cousin

@USN_Submariner Who did that guy piss off so much to make him drive the truck and what the hell did he do?

@rArmyReddit “Intolerant of mediocre performance but aware of personal limitations.” Yes. Actual.

Ideas like this must slap when you’re a fucking moron lmao

One need not be a market wizard to build generational wealth, just a fortuitous mix of awareness, timing, and the courage to commit. Loaded up on $WMT at this morning’s dip and already up 1% ($50). My sons and their children will live blessed lives.

@cdrsalamander Flashbacks to the bumper stickers and plate frames of long ago.

@TomcatJunkie @jackthejaws @SECNAV Insert Missy Mullins quote here. Though long gone, the stink he left on Naval Aviation remains.

@jackthejaws @SECNAV I’m deeply concerned that there are forces at work with the ultimate goal of taking the Navy out of the manned fighter business.

The Super Hornet line is due to close in 2027, and we don’t have a replacement announced yet. @SECNAV, the FA-XX should have been awarded years ago… but since that hasn’t happened, it needs to be awarded today. The fate of Naval Aviation is in your hands right now. Congress wants it, the @USNavy wants it, and the country needs it. I implore all of you who follow me to share this and reach out to your congressmen.

@SeanParnellASW America will do this for Nigerians, but won't do this against Cartels for America.

HEADLINE: "Joint Nigeria-US strikes kill 175 Islamic State group fighters, both militaries say"    france24.com/en/africa/2026…

@SeanParnellASW Outstanding! Of course, absent from the linked France24 headline & article content is a single use of the word “Christian”, as in: “…as armed groups stepped up their attacks on [Christian] communities across the country”. No campus protests or marches for them. It’s about time!

@PLTRs_Palantir Every student named Robert should get one of these, free.

MTC instructors develop advanced Maven Smart System skills Mission Training Complex instructors from across the Army recently gathered at Fort Leavenworth, to enhance their skills with data-driven applications as part of a new Command and Control Low Code/No Code Basic Builder’s Course, May 4-8, 2026. The “C2 Builder's Course” is a five-day intensive program designed to give participants foundational skills in Maven Smart System while creating operational data products for immediate use back at home station. Leaders at the Combined Arms Command are focused on rapidly equipping Soldiers with the skills to build custom operational data products that provide tailored solutions to unit-specific problems. This course, the first of two pilots hosted by the Mission Command Center of Excellence, trained instructors from 11 Mission Training Complexes across the Army, including participants from Europe, Korea and Alaska, as well as other personnel supporting institutional and operational forces. Training equipped instructors with the skills necessary to rapidly deliver this course to Soldiers in supported organizations. “Our aim is to create builders that are able to go into the Maven Smart System and create solutions for commanders, operational leaders and staff at the point of need,” said Lt. Col. Elvin Fortuna, a solutions architect in the CAC Command Data and Analytics Office. Throughout the week, participants brought real-world, unit-specific problems to the classroom. The curriculum focused on foundational skills in data ingestion, transformation, and visualization using applications in Maven such as Pipeline Builder, Ontology Manager, and Workshop. For participants like Jacob Rodriguez, the Individual Training Team lead at the Fort Bragg, North Carolina, MTC, the course directly addresses an increasing demand from the field. "As Soldiers evolve with the basic skills, their commanders are asking for things that are a little bit higher skill level than just managing a map," Rodriguez said. "Commanders want to capture data and also create data sets. Right now, a lot of the Soldiers don't have those kinds of skills." Justin Faye, a data scientist at MCCOE who helped develop the course, said the curriculum was built with significant help from the 10th Mountain Division, where leaders had already begun similar training efforts. "The intention is that every graduate of this program will be able to start building things in Maven," Faye said. "Building user applications either for their units or their commanders. They will be able to start feeding their data in and start to build applications, build AI [Artificial Intelligence] agents … some sort of product.” Joseph Richard, the MTC Individual Training team lead at Fort Riley, said, "Our customers, the ones in the staff sections, the staff officers, they'll be able to build their own products to use on the system. For instance, when they’re giving briefings to their commanders, these tools will help them not only do that, but it will also help them with their battle planning.” After the course, Rodriguez said he planned to meet with his leadership at Fort Bragg to develop a way forward. "This is what I learned," he said, as if talking to 18th Airborne Corps leaders. "How can we now facilitate your training based on these skills?" Some students are using what they learned to help solve more specific operational challenges. Jeffrey Chamberlain, a retired Army logistics officer and current technical writer for the 18th ABC MTC, leads a team of nine writers across four installations responsible for producing all corps and division-level operations orders. He is currently working on a project he calls "OPORD in a Box." His goal is to use the skills from the course to automate the production of OPORD documents, using his deep repository of orders and other historical documents to underpin this work. "I proposed this three years ago, and everybody looked at me like I was crazy," Chamberlain said. "… The only platform that I've found that remotely has the capability to even begin to do what I want to do is Maven and Vantage, currently. I just don't know how to use it yet." “This training,” he said, “is the first step in bridging the gap between his operational experience and the data literacy needed to build an application. This course opened my eyes to the gap that we have and where we are versus where we need to go.” “I don't see why I can't have AI help enable staff production to replicate the subject matter expertise of 250+ subject matter experts across warfighting functions,” he added. “There's no reason in my mind why that can't happen. That frees up leaders to stop focusing on the ‘nugwork,’ and really focus on the planning, training and execution.” A second pilot course is scheduled for June 8-12, 2026, which will pave the way for a future Advanced Builder Course that will produce an Additional Skill Identifier for graduates.

I have to start ignoring the pre-markets for individual stocks. They're not indicative of what's going to happen after the bell rings.

@tatumturnup Android are you ok? Are you ok Android?

5 years ago. Road trip with my youngest, taking him to visit friends across the country he met online during COVID. Paused for a bit at this beautiful spot. Should’ve sat a moment in those chairs.

I’m glad the crews survived it so we can fully embrace this forever.

@VNextJim @ingelramdecoucy On my next trip over I’m going to bring a small sign that says, “Welcome to Gary, IN” and post it by the raid into town. See how long it stays up. 😁

@ingelramdecoucy The Democrat mind can't conceive that the beauty of Gary, IN, could be replicated in other cities.

Worst possible thing that could happen for the Democratic Party and its Progressive project is for Republicans to demonstrate that competent urban governance is possible and that urban squalor is a choice not an inevitability

@compliantvc Long ago in the before days, I read a science fiction book that introduced the concept of a slingshot type of a device where passengers would essentially strap into some netting, and it would launch the vehicle from the United States to Europe or Asia. Still waiting for my ride.

Why in the world don't we have an underwater train running between the US and the EU? A high speed rail could complete this journey in just 6.75 hours, compared to over 7 hours for an airplane

@MZHemingway @united Here’s a couple little spring cuties who just cut through my back yard!

Close to reaching the “openly weeping” stage of being trapped on a @United plane that landed at DCA two hours ago and which they won’t let us off of. Please tell me jokes or send links to silly things.
