@HighyieldHarry @DrStevenPhD haven’t seen it but it sounds like he’s about to invent “Lite” beer, one of the great marketing angles of the latter half of the 20th century

@DrStevenPhD I don't think that was it respectfully. That marketing research guy is describing a "particular man" and then gives the most boilerplate, high TAM description possible. Don is wincing at how dumb this guy is during the meeting while in disgust of ppl taking notes on it lol.

There’s many great Mad Men scenes but I love and relate to the one where Don sits in the bureaucratic & uninspiring McCann meeting for a minute before just walking out and leaving

the sad thing is they won. Last generation and this one. Now it’s anti-solar and at the grassroots level from what I see they might kill it too, or at least cripple it, at least in the USA

Going down wikipedia rabbit holes is the closest living descendent of surfing the web.

@ripplebrain Ok but how come none of these mfers have had the very PhD thought “you know, I understand the mechanics of a grueling guerilla war of attrition to maintain a brutal theocratic pariah state, but I don’t wanna”

Literal professor of Political Science with a PhD, written multiple academic books, etc, you know the drill at this point

When I was working on Sideways (which was adapted from a book), I asked the director, Alexander if the book were any good. "No it sucks. You don't adapt great books. You adapt shitty books that have an interesting premise, or a kernel of something that you can exploit and improve. Good books don't make good movies. You have to build a screenplay from the ground up. And nobody is gonna be mad at me for changing the details of a Rex Pickett novel. But God help you if you try to change 2 words in the Lord of the Rings." Brilliant dude.

@Blonddeds @planetclarke idk man. I fully accept that I’m not unique and special, I know how recsys work, but some of these are still impressive

@planetclarke God yall are so dumb. This is why tech companies gave you the entire internet for free in exchange for your data. They know everything about everyone. You are a predictable data point. You arent unique or special, you fit into a marketable demographic thats been tracked for years

Me fighting the urge to say “You guys REALLY aren’t gonna like the reason why this happens”

Sal Khan was one of the first people on Earth to see GPT-4. OpenAI called him in the summer of 2022, months before ChatGPT existed, and showed him what was coming. He couldn’t sleep that weekend. By March 2023, Khan Academy launched Khanmigo, an AI tutor built on GPT-4, the same day OpenAI unveiled the model to the public. They were a launch partner. While every other education company was figuring out what ChatGPT meant for them, Khan Academy had already been building for seven months. The “obsolete” platform now has 120 million yearly learners. Khanmigo, their AI tutor, grew 731% year over year in the 2024-25 school year, reaching 2 million users. In classrooms alone, adoption went from 40,000 students to 700,000 in a single year, with projections past 1 million for 2025-26. Their teacher tools are free in over 70 countries. In January 2026, Khan Academy signed a deal with Google to put Gemini (Google’s AI) into new Writing Coach and Reading Coach tools for middle and high schoolers. They’re now working with both OpenAI and Google. A peer-reviewed study published in PNAS (one of the top scientific journals in the world) in January 2026, with researchers from Stanford and the University of Toronto, found that more Khan Academy usage is directly linked to higher student test scores. Sal Khan wrote a whole book in 2024 called “Brave New Words” arguing AI would save education. Sam Altman wrote a blurb for it. His TED Talk making the same argument was one of the 10 most-watched of 2023. In October 2025, he was named TED’s “vision steward.” Khan Academy is now the AI education company. That 731% growth happened while students spent 7.7 billion minutes learning on the platform in 2025.

@starkupnation @JoshReynolds24

@JoshReynolds24 This craziest, most clutch forgotten about home run would like a word with you...

Man… To think what could have been… Insane to think that this will go down as one of the craziest, most clutch, forgotten about home runs maybe ever.

@its_hipolita Princess Whitey Softskin is simply taking proper precautions

If you haven't read Dune: Messiah, you might be wondering why Princess Irulan/Florence Pugh looks like this. I've read it so I'll briefly explain: I have no fucking idea what's going on here.

if you are over 40 it’s impossible to read this and not want to try being pummeled by 12 muscular Polynesian women who is building this

it’s actually funny how Marc /is/ on to something, sorta our culture+economy is being completely rewired to favor those with no “introspection” in a way no thinking, just action, just do things, think about consequences and morals and plans later. make a fuss. go viral. piss people off. lie. raise tons of money with no plan. don’t think things through just DO. and this is why we will falter and, potentially, fail completely.

@nikicaga the Q/Epstein propaganda innovation - moving the paranoid & programmable from “there’s a conspiracy” to “there’s a conspiracy and I’m in on it” - is still bearing fruit for the right, incredibly

Calling these people cattle is an insult to the noble bovine

@AkronJackson the Manaus matches from the Rio Olympics were similarly distant

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics have announced that nine Olympic soccer matches will be played in the L.A. suburb of Columbus, Ohio at Crew Stadium.

I’m not sure at this point if it’s to our credit or discredit as a society that the only liberal democratic principle left standing is that we don’t do military coups

"A new way to get released" is quite the way to describe habeas corpus, a right so ancient that it predates the Magna Carta.

Indeed, one thing I have to admit is I feel like I am coming to understand why the genre of 'military manual for aristocratic failsons who keep messing up the basics of war and strategy' was such a durable, useful, important genre.

turns out the American/CIA superweapon was always Hollywood, and we ceded total dominance so we could hand the Ark to Larry Fucking Ellison and get TKO’d in an AI slopfight

@moshik_temkin Recall that Epstein capo Steve Bannon has self-described as a Maoist (in terms of tactics & strategy)

This is pretty incredible. Cultural Revolution-type world in which zealous young bros without any real knowledge of anything were destroying the lives and careers of scientists and researchers based on their childish interpretation of what they thought their dear leader wanted.
