@MHTruthUltra ICE probably deported him back to Venezuela.

Anyone have any idea what happened to that Venezuelan president we kidnapped 7 months ago?

@unusual_whales The Legislative Branch has the votes to declare war...

BREAKING: Trump notified Congress that the US is in a new war with Iran, and is able to wager battle for 60 days without congressional approval, per POLITICO

@BayouBikeyBoi Building a working passenger train network, showing the libs in California how to do it, would be the ultimate way to own the libs.

Texas should simply build trains that exist

@HikoukiHikouki9 The IRS mileage rate for 2H 2026 is $0.76/mile that (round) trip costs $372.40 per the IRS.

> 245 mile drive > costs $45 in a car that gets 30 mpg It’s very impressive that uber didn’t make money for so long when basically no one in this country gets that the highest cost of driving is depreciation

@founding_ideals @AFergusonFTC @FTC Do you own John Deere equipment or are you just paying an exorbitant usage fee for software that only runs on special hardware they let you use? (I don't know the answer here.)

@AFergusonFTC @FTC The right to repair needs to extend to ANYTHING a consumer owns, not just farmers.

For years, John Deere made it almost impossible for American farmers to repair their own equipment. The company’s conduct led to increased costs for farmers and our nation’s consumers while lining John Deere’s pockets. Today, the @FTC under President Trump put an end to it.

@ZacksJerryRig @Rivian @Ford @chevrolet @cybertruck I think I've seen BYD "ads" where they have jacks near each wheel to aid in changing tires.

the @Rivian's have a full size spare. the @Ford Lightnings have a full size spare. the @chevrolet Silverado EV WT has a full size spare. the @cybertruck ..... does not.

@esaagar What I worry about is that people see that $5K/yr for $13M but don't fund their ROTHs *first*. It's noble to do this for your kids but it's equally important they aren't forced to care for you in your old age.

Everyone is thinking too hard about the specifics. The Trump accounts like Roths, 529s, etc will be used maximally by a small % of finance nerds The vast majority will hear about the 1k and hopefully just think more than they would have previously about saving for your kids

@esaagar What's crazy about that is SD's property taxes are already low. Less than half of what we pay in HTX...

South Dakota Republican gubernatorial candidate Toby Doeden is running explicitly to abolish property tax in the state South Dakota has no income tax already and a low sales tax. So how will they pay for anything? We all know, tax the young

@KahanJulie @atlanticesque There are bigots who dislike other sects of Christianity to whom this order matters.

@salonen @atlanticesque The text is the same, the only difference is the numbering (which can be omitted).

One of the all-time great Wikipedia charts

@aisarcore Integer underflow? Value is too close to 2^32. Curious what the actual cause was.

A single mother put 40 cents into a slot machine at a New York casino and won $43 MILLION. The casino offered her a steak dinner and $2.25 instead. A judge sided with the casino. She walked away with nothing. – Katrina Bookman grew up in foster care. – She was homeless as a teenager. Raised four kids on her own as a single mother in New York. – On August 5 2016 she walked into Resorts World Casino in Queens and put 40 cents into a slot machine called Sphinx Wild. – Bells went off. Lights flashed. The screen displayed her winnings in full. $42,949,672.76. The biggest slot machine jackpot in American history. – She took a selfie with the screen. She was already planning what to do with the money. – A MILLION dollars for her son who wanted to open a barbershop. – A casino employee told her to come back the next day to collect her winnings after an official review. – The next day the casino told her the machine had malfunctioned. She had won nothing. – They offered her $2.25, the amount showing on her printed ticket and a complimentary steak dinner as a gesture of goodwill. – She said "Really? Are you serious? I felt insulted." – She refused both and hired a lawyer. – She filed a 17 page lawsuit against the casino, its parent company, and the slot machine manufacturer. – Her lawyer argued that even if the $43 MILLION was a malfunction the machine's maximum legitimate jackpot was $6,500. The casino should pay at least that. The casino refused even that. – The New York State Gaming Commission confirmed the malfunction. – Every machine in the casino had a small disclaimer printed on it: "Malfunctions void all pays and plays." – After years of delays including COVID the case finally went to court. – A judge at Queens County Supreme Court ruled in favor of the casino. – Katrina Bookman walked away with nothing. – Not the $43 MILLION, not the $6,500. Not even the steak dinner. A single mother who grew up in foster care put 40 cents into a machine, watched it display $43 MILLION, took a selfie, came back the next day and was handed $2.25 and a dinner reservation.

@Freyy_is I Am Legend

i need a book written entirely from the villain’s point of view… except you don’t realize they’re the villain until the last few chapters.

@WarrenInTheBuff Recently saw this play out poorly. A JSONB field that should've been its own table was overwritten via REST call no one believed was possible (tbf, probably also an argument for TLA+ and/or property-based testing).

Friendly yearly reminder relational databases shouldn't have JSON in them

@theo If you can afford 564 TB of RAM, you need to quit have sponsors. 😂

“Theo you’re so stupid it says virtual memory! Did you really think it was using terabytes of ram??” I swear my haters have never been dumber

@ZakiBlacksong @CIAhrtattackgun It's literally a monument to poor engineering.

@CIAhrtattackgun Yes if you actually looking into why and how it was carved it's really fucking stupid and lame and it's pathetic we lionize it as one of our great monuments.

Mount Rushmore is disgusting. They couldn't be bothered to clean up their mess.

@mnolangray The rubble may be providing some structural support. Carving was stopped because the ground was unstable. Mt Rushmore is literally a monument to poor engineering.

I actually agree that they should remove the rubble, it looks terrible from the observation deck.

@WSOP @TheGrinder44 Should've just had a shirt with "about an hour" written across the chest.

The Defending Champ Makes His Entrance! Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was accompanied by multiple ladies chanting his name on the way to his seat for Day 1B of the $10,000 WSOP MAIN EVENT! Can @TheGrinder44 go back-to-back and continue to make history at the World Series of Poker? Watch poker's biggest tournament later today starting at 5:30PM on ESPN+ or YouTube. @GGPoker

@SavagePoker It would be cool for the WSOP to go back to freeze outs for bracelet events. Give the rebuy events tiaras or something.

The schedule looks a little different when I was Tournament Director in 2003. Two day events beside the main event Dollar for dollar starting stacks Limit Hold’em was the opening open event No late registration allowed No reentry #SimplerTimes

@SkylarSkye3 As a Texan...

As a World Cup traveler in America here is how I’d rank the places I’ve been 1st - Texas 2nd - Los Angeles 3rd - Atlanta 4th - Las Vegas 5th - Boston 6th - New York Is this controversial 🤔🇺🇸

@Kosmo_Ken @WestConservativ @ryangrim Didn't the Green New Deal literally include upgrading the grid?

@WestConservativ @ryangrim i love how people still whinge about a “Green New Scam” that never passed congress or made it to the president’s desk. is not law and never was. absolutely brainraped cattle

Buddy, it’s not about your electric bill. The grid might go down. Then nobody will have power. Or to put in terms you’d understand: You will not have power.
