Saving Private Bryan

I prefer to lead men (and women) who need to be reined in rather than prodded forward. And now that I think about it... this might be why David was "a man after God's own heart."

Explosions and interceptions over Bahrain. Patriot systems are active. Fighter jets are also airborne.

@oliviawalch @SaveStandard No, stop being selfish.

If the Sunshine Protection Act passes, I'll be starting work in the dark 89 days out of the year; terrible. Sunshine for Our Kids Act (SOKA) is permanent Standard Time and a much better option (or we can stay on the current system!) savestandardtime.com/chart/ @SaveStandard

@devahaz CFA is so overrated

Seen some anti-CFA posts recently. Y’all are crazy this is the only national fast food worth eating in America. Decided to give strips another try, they’re fine, but nuggets def better than strips here. Regular sandwich still the top pick.

@brianonorio Bad take.

This would be dumb. We’d send kids to school in the dark in January. Just get over it. Changing clocks twice a year is a no big deal. Y’all act like you’ve never *checks notes* took a flight to the central time zone.

@Observe_It68 @WarMonitor3 It’s missiles vs boats

@WarMonitor3 How is that possible when we’ve apparently defeated their navy multiple times now ? lol

Large Naval battle ongoing between the US and Iran in the strait of Hormuz.

@TRHLofficial Bleach or vinegar will not kill cyclosporiasis

The most effective way to kill parasites is to soak your produce in a gallon of water with 1 tsp of bleach for 1-2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly for 30 seconds to a minute, and pat dry.

@amitylee13 No

Unpopular opinion: I love Daylight Saving Time. But permanent Standard Time makes more sense than permanent DST. If we’re only choosing one, let’s choose the one that aligns with nature. What do y’all think?

@CodeByPoonam does it protect student privacy though?

do you understand what Anthropic just admitted? AI for students has mixed results. so they built for teachers instead. every other lab is going the opposite direction. it’s called Claude for Teachers - built for the teacher. not the student. what it actually does: → connects to Learning Commons, which gives Claude the academic standards for all 50 states, plus the smaller competencies underneath each one and the order students typically learn them → pulls from real curricula like OpenSciEd and Illustrative Mathematics, so lesson plans arrive already aligned instead of needing to be checked line by line → builds differentiation plans, adapting the same lesson for students at different readiness levels, with scaffolds for multilingual learners and accommodations for IEPs → connects to ASSISTments, Brisk Teaching, and Canva Education → can pull a student’s past assessment data and assignment history and draft individualized plans overnight the real bet: →everyone else is trying to build the AI students use. →Anthropic is trying to build the one teachers can’t work without. those are very different companies in five years.

Three years ago I sued @PatrickByrne for lying about me. He claimed that I took a bribe and committed treason. He implied I was in some part responsible for the Hamas attack of October 7th. His lies caused real damage and endangered my family. On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge. The court determined that everything he said about me was a complete fiction. For those of you who don’t know Patrick Byrne, he is the former Overstock CEO who lost control of his company when it became public he was sleeping with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. He is the man who was in the Oval Office with Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell leading up to the January 6th insurrection. He is a clownish footnote in history. But his lies travel far and wide. He is a fraud who did the bidding of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. This isn’t the first defamation case brought against Byrne, and it won’t be the last. Even after losing, he is still doing it. He continues to tell his audience he has “three dynamite voicemails” and a former federal agent whose testimony confirms his story. Byrne had three years to bring that evidence to court. He never produced it. The voicemails he did produce, the court found, “do not mention a bribe, implicate contemporaneous involvement in any illegal scheme by Plaintiff, or otherwise independently corroborate Defendant’s story.” The former federal agent Byrne relied on, John Moynihan, gave sworn testimony that contradicted him. The FBI agent Byrne claimed had backed him up denied it under oath. Those are not my findings. Those are the findings of a federal court. And nothing prevents Byrne from releasing the voicemails he keeps promising his audience. He never has, because the court has already listened to what he produced and found they prove nothing. Patrick will try not pay this judgment. He didn’t pay the $34,969 the court ordered six months ago either. His strategy is delay. Fire the lawyer. Skip the hearing. File nonsense with courts that have already ruled. Repeat the lie on Alex Jones while the clock runs. He is not a whistleblower or a spy. He is a man who got played by a Russian intelligence asset, lost his company over it, and has been performing a spy fantasy on the internet ever since. He is a coward who wouldn’t even show up in court to face me. He is hiding in Dubai, where he fled during my case to avoid being deposed, and told the court a story about a Venezuelan hit squad to explain it. He will run from this judgment the same way he ran from my trial. Fine. Every defamatory statement is a new lawsuit. I have as much time as he has words.

Bruh. We have vaccines for cancer now. Electric cars and solar power are saving us from climate change. Small countries can defend themselves against empires thanks to drones. Taxis drive themselves now. People with cystic fibrosis live to 65 instead of 25. YOU HAVE DEPRESSION.

@aeberman12 Why does it have to converge back?

Paper oil priced normalization before the physical system normalized. Hormuz flows remain negligible, inventories are thin and China eventually has to replenish stocks. Futures can anticipate recovery—but if recovery keeps slipping, the paper market has to converge back toward physical reality. #Oil #Hormuz #Brent #China #EnergyCrisis

@DudeWhoInvests Oil

Gold is falling Bitcoin is falling S&P 500 is falling Nasdaq 100 is falling Semi stocks are falling Housing prices are rising 10 Year Treasury is rising Where is all the money going??

@RealPeterLinder Great call.

I must say that my aggressive call last Friday that WTI would hit $80 - $85 this week was a particularly brilliant call of mine. My only mistake was I wasn’t bullish enough as this target was achieved right now as WTI is trading at over $80.

@DigestAndroid I’ll take it!

I've got a key for Battlefield 6 for the PC. I'll sell it for $15 if anyone is interested!

@DarioCpx Damn

KOSPI falling deeper into fear territory

Energy markets have been enormously conditioned over the last 2 months that all escalation is fake and just a setup for more news that will dump them. New longs (in oil) are very skittish to enter. At the same time, short sellers are aggressively defending positions. It will take a little time for the market to understand the whole thing has flipped. Unless Trump continues jawboning that it really is inverse now. Or there's a singular event (like a tanker hit in bab, or some other critical infra) that massively squeezes shorts. #OOTT

Someone on Reddit shared 11 things about Claude they wish they knew 12 months ago. After 18 months of daily use. I went through all of them. Every single one is worth knowing. 🧵

@BrettErickson28 Source?

@najam_ali @P_dubya_S Could you give a historical example?

@P_dubya_S That may be the intention, but history suggests slow boils rarely stay slow. They either lose momentum or boil over.

The last few days have made one thing clear: Trump is running out of space. He can either accept that Iran has changed the strategic balance in the Gulf, or he can escalate into a much bigger war. The space for half-measures and symbolic strikes is rapidly disappearing.
