@khnh80044 Nice! Love it, but the dresses missed; they look like fast fashion from Zara or Temu. The quality of fabric, drape, detail, and tailoring of clothes from that era aren't replicated today.

This performance of this song is so perfect that no other versions can compare! Both girls are amazingly good! Everything is in the style of a bygone era: the dresses, the shoes, the hair, the makeup, the movements, the gestures, the voice, and even the timbre. Everything is just perfect!❤️

@PatriotsPups @TaniaAMarshall Those were my two exactly! 👍

@TaniaAMarshall Looks like contempt with a bit of narcissism to top it off. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What is Allen’s baseline *emotion* across these 3 photos? Baseline = consistent, habitual resting facial expression that shows up repeatedly regardless of angle, lighting, or setting. Notice the asymmetrical/lopsided smile (one side higher, subtle sneer). The emotion?

If you were paying attention, you started really noticing this more than a decade ago…

HELLL YEAH THIS IS AWESOME #PMSDraftSpectacular

RT IF YOU LOVE THE BURGH 😍 📺: 2026 NFL Draft on NFLN/ESPN/ABC

@CynicalPublius Yes, but what do you think of our lovely City of Pittsburgh 🖤💛(from the hometown girl)?!

RE: NFL Draft 8 minutes for each pick is a TV trainwreck. They are three picks behind announcing who is drafted.

A MIT professor who built the world's first neural network machine said something about intelligence that nobody in Silicon Valley wants to admit. His name was Marvin Minsky. He co-founded MIT's artificial intelligence lab with John McCarthy in 1959. He built SNARC the first randomly wired neural network learning machine in 1951, as a graduate student at Princeton. He won the Turing Award. He advised Stanley Kubrick on 2001: A Space Odyssey. Isaac Asimov, who was not a modest man, said Minsky was one of only two people he would admit were more intelligent than him. In 1986, after decades of building machines that could think, Minsky published a book about something far more unsettling. How humans think. And why we are wrong about almost everything we believe about it. The book is called The Society of Mind. It has 270 essays. Each one is a page long. Together they build a single argument that most people, when they first encounter it, reject immediately because it is too uncomfortable to accept. The argument is this: you do not have a mind. You have thousands of them. What you experience as a single, unified self making clear-headed decisions is not a thinker. It is an outcome. The result of hundreds of tiny, specialized, mostly mindless agents competing, negotiating, overriding, and occasionally cooperating with each other beneath the surface of your awareness. You do not decide things. You are what is left over after the arguing stops. Minsky was precise about this. He wrote that the power of intelligence stems from our vast diversity, not from any single perfect principle. He called this the trick that makes us intelligent, and then immediately added: the trick is that there is no trick. There is no central processor. No ghost in the machine. No unified self sitting behind your eyes, calmly evaluating options and choosing rationally. There is only the parliament. And the parliament is always in session. This reframing destroys the standard explanation for every failure of self-control. The reason you procrastinate is not laziness. It is that the agent in you that understands long-term consequences is losing an argument to the agent that wants comfort right now, and neither of those agents has a decisive vote. The reason you change your mind the moment someone pushes back is not weakness. It is that the social agent, the one that monitors status and belonging, just outweighed the analytical one. The reason willpower fails is not a character flaw. It is that you sent one small agent into a fight against dozens, and you called that discipline. Minsky had a specific line that breaks this open completely. He said: in general, we are least aware of what our minds do best. The things you do with the most apparent ease, reading a face, walking through a crowded room, understanding a sentence, catching a ball, are not simple at all. They are the products of staggeringly complex agent networks that run so smoothly, so far below conscious access, that you experience them as effortless. The things that feel like work, the logical arguments, the deliberate choices, the careful plans, are actually the clumsy surface layer, the small fraction of mental activity you can observe at all. You have been taking credit for the wrong parts of your own intelligence. The practical implication is the one that most productivity advice misses entirely. If your decisions are not made by a single rational self but by whichever coalition of agents happens to win the moment, then the game is not about training yourself to be more disciplined. The game is about designing the environment so that the right agents win without needing a fight. This is why removing your phone from the room works better than deciding not to check it. This is why writing one task on an index card works better than building a sophisticated system. This is why commitment devices beat motivation every time. You are not strengthening your will. You are changing the conditions of the argument so that the outcome you want becomes the path of least resistance. Minsky spent his entire career building machines that could imitate intelligence. What he discovered in the process was that natural intelligence, the kind running inside every human brain on earth, is nothing like what we think it is. It is not a single flame burning in a single chamber. It is a city. Loud, chaotic, full of competing interests, with no mayor. The people who understand this stop trying to win the argument through force of will. They learn to build a better city instead.

@AwakenedOutlaw This is utterly astounding on so many levels...

Imagine being dumb and gullible enough to allow your state-controlled media to convince you that the leader of another country is to blame for all of your problems.

@lady_valor_07 OMG moisturize your neck! Treat that skin even better than your face. Thank me in 25 years!

I’m 25. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

Sabrina Grey loves watching Punch-kun, too!😻🙉😘

I genuinely don’t care if two thirds of both houses of congress have to be expelled. I want as many like Swalwell, Gonzalez, Lamonica McIver, Sheila McCormick, Adam Schiff, Ilhan Omar, etc, as there are out. I don’t want them censured. I want them out of our government. I also want them investigated and, if the evidence warrants, indicted and prosecuted. Our government has become not just a geriatric home for people like Schumer, McConnell, and Pelosi, but also a den of criminals who believe they are above the law. So far, they have been. It is my hope and prayer that is about to change.

@yana_aff_ How cool is it that we’re across the world 🌍 just chatting! I love this translation thing!

@yana_aff_ I love hearing different accents; I like to try to guess the speaker’s native language. No one would fault you for trying - even if the words aren’t perfect! 😊

Международный твиттер! Вопрос: Как вы относитесь к людям, которые говорят на вашем родном языке с акцентом? Есть, много людей, которые стесняются говорить на английском, из-за русского акцента, или из-за того что слова в предложении не в том порядке по ошибке >

Sailing yesterday. Today scrubbed the yacht stem to stern. Then I passed out from exhaustion. Woke up sore but feeling fantastic. Walked down the dock and saw way too many derelict vessels. Please, for the love of the Republic, cancel your gym membership and get a real hobby. Something that adds value to your community. Buy a broken house, a broken yacht, go build a deck or clear a tree off your land or clear a trail or dig out a pond. I don't want to look at your chiseled bodies. I do want to gawk and star at the victorian you restored or wood ketch that now has a glistening teak deck. Our communities are uglier now then when I was a kid because you spend all your time, sweat and money on your bodies instead of using your bodies to build beautiful things. Yes you are healthy but you can only stare at a mirror so long. If you build or restore something beautiful you'll have a healthy body, healthy mind, healthy soul and can admire your work for decades.

Why are the American People paying for a Congressional “s*xual misconduct” hush fund? Why are the People not privy to who used it and why? ITS OUR FCKING MONEY

@ryanhallyall And I’m here to tell you it was a picture perfect day here in the ‘burgh! 🖤💛

The nicest weather in the USA today will occur around Philadelphia & Pittsburgh, PA

@TaniaAMarshall Contempt. But I detect a small hint of remorse on the left. Not on the right.

Back by popular demand… Two faces. L and R as you’re looking at them. 1. Are these the same emotion… or two different ones? 2. If you had to name the emotion(s) you see, what would you say? Drop your answers in the comments👇 (no scrolling ahead or using AI 😉).

The only way I can vote is to tell you I’ve come to depend on your expertise and insights, and you’re one of my favorite perspectives on this crazy world. So if you need to get your sea legs back to renew your ocean soul, do it! But then come back and help us all make sense of all things maritime! So I guess that’s option 3!

Absolutely everyone is getting Hormuz wrong and over a year into this administration the SHIPs for 🇺🇸 Act is far from passing. Should I retardmaxx some ocean? The real problem behind Hormuz, U.S. shipbuilding delays, and the Royal Navy not being able to deploy even one warship is this: We have hundreds of NATO admirals, thousands of military reporters, and an army of think tank experts who haven’t been to sea in years (some decades, if ever). They don’t have a visceral feel for the ocean anymore, just distant memories from their junior officer days. The dropping of the Artemis Capsule reminded me we need leaders with recent ocean experience because getting battered by waves gives you clarity of purpose, reminds you what is at stake. Biggest naval conference in the world starts on the 20th in DC, but I’m in California and agitated and frustrated by Hormuz and shipbuilding delays. I’m not a guy who can bite my tongue and pretend everything is peaches. Nothing clears the mind and sharpens like a solo ocean voyage. Shouldn’t at least one person at the conference have some fresh salt on his beard? Follower survey. Vote now: 1.Go home, rest up for the Navy League expo in DC 2.Screw the expo, go ocean sailing on my yacht, file Hormuz updates and videos to subscribers via Starlink 3.Both. Sail Monday, fly to DC Friday, arrive broken Here’s the call I’m making by tomorrow. Monday is a weather window. My router (USCGA grad, the best in the world) cleared it and said: get ready for black and blues. Sloppy seas. Awesome and terrible at the same time. The yacht is in San Luis Obispo. To move her I sail past Diablo Canyon, around the Vandenberg Space Force Base launch zones, and past the dreaded Point Conception to SoCal. No crew (she was designed for singlehanded sailing). Loose cutlass bearing, no haul-out options on the central coast, so the only way out is through. No time to run north, which means parking her for a few months until I can get back. ASK: Anyone with a spare slip to park her, between Santa Barbra and San Diego, please let me know. The other side of the call: April 20th is the biggest naval conference in the world. I should be rested up. I need ocean therapy, need to get her to a boat yard for haul out. I also need to do my job. But you guys are my audience. Vote above. Hull Type: Fin with rudder on skeg Rigging Type: Cat Ketch (unstayed) LOA: 43 ft Beam: 13.16 ft Displacement: 22,000.00 lb Built: 1980 Double handed might better. Any sailors who can drop everything and meet me Monday: DM your sailing resume or license. Subscribe if I don’t follow you. Legal: sailing offshore is dangerous and can result in injury or death. Anyone who joins does so as a volunteer at their own risk, assumes all liability, and agrees the captain and vessel owner are not responsible for loss, injury, or damage. Bring your own gear, tools for vessel inspection, your own insurance, food and solid own judgment.
