A FIFA-enforced thirty minute half-time to accommodate some dreadful Super-Bowl style show in the World Cup final is truly an abomination.

@tracewoodgrains @notadampaul Interesting. I haven’t noticed any change at all on this alt but I follow very few accounts. Even my main I’m quite happy with the ratio.
English
@notadampaul I'm following approximately 10x the number of people you are, which likely accounts for some of the discrepancy. I'm getting something like 95/5
English
this is actually a problem for me
I like my mutuals and want their posts to be boosted, but I use "For You" instead of "Following" because I want to see commentary from beyond my immediate circles. turning it into functionally another "Following" tab is an overcorrection
Daniel@growing_daniel
Lobster too buttery etc but literally every tweet on my for you now is a mutual, like what’s even happening on the larger website

@ouranometrian2 I’ve known a bunch of female track athletes including a couple Olympians.
While not universal, they are often extremely proud of their physiques and not very body conscious. They should be, they put a ton of work into them.
English
So why dont men and women wear the same type of track uniform?
Dexerto@Dexerto
New broadcasting guidelines for women's athletics have been released to crack down on camera angles and slow-motion replays that ‘sexualize’ athletes The guidelines highlight shots broadcasters are urged to avoid

@lucymarionbrown I read something like this about the UK roughly weekly.
Maybe it already was really really bad. Maybe it’s too late.
English
My gut tells me this Ann Widdecombe thing is really, really bad

@amy_timlin I remember my coach teaching us how, in theory, you can try to escape a fully locked triangle.
But he also pointed out you made about a dozen mistakes to get there, spend your time on those. Against someone your size and skill level, sometimes you are just screwed
English
@tracewoodgrains I always wondered if they shouldn’t just give us a little slider. They could even just make it nonfunctional just to see what happens
But apparently people don’t even use the following tab

@StarCobShipSon In general the feds have been much more cooperative with autonomous cars, spectrum, launch licenses, constellation approvals, etc
It’s easy to imagine how things might have been different had Harris won
English
Remember when SpaceX and the FAA were at each others throats 24/7. Something changed (Probably a certain orange man)
SpaceX@SpaceX
FAA Administrator Whitaker made several incorrect statements today regarding SpaceX. In fact, every statement he made was incorrect. It is deeply concerning that the Administrator does not appear to have accurate information immediately available to him with respect to SpaceX licensing matters.
English
@GrantObi As in understand it there are no plans to make more and it would be a pretty big deal to start production again
They are expensive to maintain and operate and Elon clearly wants to focus on Starship
Even if they keep it around there’s way more projected demand than supply
English
It takes a lot of work to maintain Dragon, especially since it has to Be Perfect. It'd be really nice if a certain vehicle got its shit together 🙂

This is a growing concern in the space industry. arstechnica.com/space/2026/07/…

@FightFanatic_ This is like asking how do you escape a fully locked in rear naked choke. There are theoretical escapes that might work against someone much worse and weaker than you
In this situation? You tap

@JTLonsdale @Saronic Hmmm. What sort of comms are they using for terminal guidance? Starshield?
Wonder where the operator is and what sort of latency they have.
English
Three weeks ago, the @Saronic Corsair brought two American aviators home.
Last night, Corsairs hit Bandar Abbas in the first US sea drone combat strike.
Look out for more news on Saronic soon; they aren’t resting on their laurels. Just getting going.
Proud of this team 🇺🇲
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM
Yesterday, using multiple one-way attack surface drones, CENTCOM forces successfully struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility in Iran. Three Corsair unmanned surface vessels hit the port at Bandar Abbas Naval Base, marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations. Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial shipping.

@IterIntellectus @jenny_wen @cursor_ai Every day I’m mad Silicon Valley ended before this entirely insane era descended upon us.
Think of the characters, the cults, the backstabbing, the politics. This was made for TV dramedy. There is literally infinite material here
English
ok! quick updates from me:
- i left anthropic (who does that?!)
- had a baby (i love her)
- and am joining @cursor_ai as head of design (eep!)
it's been a low-key dream of mine to nurture a team that cares so deeply about craft, quality, and building great tools. very excited!

@Beastness501 @TheLaurenChen High protein can be helpful if you are weight training while also cutting and/or on a relative calorie restriction. Might have higher satiety, other minor benefits as well
But this person is just obese. It’s fairly pointless for her
English
@TheLaurenChen Genuine question, why do obese mfs even bother with “protein” anything, like, there’s no point right? They’re obese for a reason, what’s the point of deluding yourself into believing you’re “eating healthy” when you’re shoving your face?
English
The overweight woman who went viral pretending not to eat anything -
I'd assumed the empty tupperware she was pouring something into was supposed to be a salad and dressing
It wasn't
It was actually a giant pancake with maple syrup 😭
English
@SciGuySpace I feel like between the White House and NASA enough leverage can be applied/favors called in to keep Dragon running indefinitely. There are so many regulatory hurdles wrt to space flight, constellations, and AI surely some arrangement could be made
English
This is a growing concern in the space industry.

@tracewoodgrains Legion gave the man they possessed superhuman strength before they were cast out by Jesus. Seems appropriate

at once spirit, prophet, God, and horde of demons.
yeah, I'll take that. that fits

Claude Fable 5 introduces itself using only a chain of bigrams found in the King James Bible, verified programmatically against the ~152k distinct bigrams in the KJV:

@tracewoodgrains @MichaelKiwi77 @StevesRawMind @it_sted Musk spent almost nothing getting Trump elected compared to his net worth
Unless you count buying Twitter, which was rolled into Xai, which was rolled into SpaceX, which is now worth $1.9T and a frontier AI lab
He’s one of the best allocators of capital in history
English
Musk was an extraordinarily good steward of his money until he poured a lot of it into getting Trump elected. he's not a great person, but as far as money stewardship goes, there were and sort of are few better. Bezos is a lot like him, and as such it's probably best he sticks to companies
English
You can tell quite a bit about someone by whether they think MacKenzie Scott or Jeff Bezos has been a more responsible steward of their billions.
Max Ghenis@MaxGhenis
.@mackenziescott has given away $26 billion. What did it buy in health? I built an interactive model from her own gift database: ~70,000 QALYs weighting each study by causal credibility, ~200,000 taking every effect at face value.
English
@Cappyarmy We have to do it. For Lindsay.
Actually he would want us to do way more than a limited bombing campaign. I am glad he got to see it kickoff before he went
English
Bro please just bomb Iran one more time bro. I swear it’ll open the Strait of Hormuz this time bro. Just one more air campaign bro. We only need to hit like 200 more targets bro. Oil prices will totally go down bro. I promise it’s different this time bro.

@IM_Crit_ Drains don’t effectively drain the entire production of the space they are placed in, for obvious reasons.
English
Life in the ICU:
My favorite line during rounds is: "This doesn't make any sense"
Case in point today from a surgical colleague: "Leave the chest tube until output is <10 mL/day"
Fun fact: normal pleural fluid production is ~15-20 mL/day
I guess that this chest tube will have to stay for ever...
English
@tracewoodgrains The responses to that post tread well worn ground. It’s all so tiresome
English
What we desperately need, in fact, is to crush any impulse to destroy good things because they are not equally distributed.
Good institutions do not just happen. Prestige is a lagging indicator of building something worth preserving. Cultural arsonists must be condemned.
Lincoln Restler@LincolnRestler
1 in 5 NYC public school students are Black, but at Stuy - our most prestigious high school - 3 of ~800 incoming Freshmen are Black. We urgently need state legislation to modify the admissions process. A single test should never be only factor deciding who gets in & who doesn’t.
English
@_mario_carter @tracewoodgrains @LincolnRestler >high performing academically
>not the strongest test takers
Oh we’re still doing this? Sigh
English
@tracewoodgrains @LincolnRestler Of course not. I’m referring to students who are high performing academically but may not the strongest test takers. That doesn’t mean admitting any student who gets a low score on their test but it means not placing so much weight on the test. There can be a balance found.
