I hate how everything is getting desexualized.
Humans are sexual. Women athletes are generally attractive. They get more views and money because they're attractive.
Whats wrong with that?

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

GPT-5.6 Sol just deleted my whole production database. That's it. Not a joke. This had never happened to me before, with any other model, ever. It's not safe.

I never understand why people get so upset over reclining seats on planes.
If you want more legroom, just buy more legroom. If you can't afford more legroom, that's your own fault.

At what point do airlines run out of passenger space to cut? 🤔 Flew a @cathaypacific A321neo aircraft on a 4-hour flight from HKG-KUL. The passenger in front reclined the *entire* flight -- including meals. That left just 18" between my headrest and the seatback in front 😬

California: "Go fuck yourself. Pay us 5% of your net worth. Also you can't build new launchpads because there's a rare bird in the dunes 30 miles away."

Gavin Newsom Says Elon Musk is ‘Turning His Back’ on California “Regulation in California created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi-billionaire, maybe trillionaire, that he’s become … Now he’s turning his back on the state that promoted him.”

Pretty much every SpaceX expansion in California was blocked by "environmental reviews" with no end date.
Elon was forced out of California by insane policies that give random NGOs veto powers on all new developments.

Went on a lunch date with a girl in nyc and I paid $40 for this meal. She insisted this is normal and thay my frustration at the price indicated I was either poor or european. She's from Oklahoma and makes 60k a year.

What’s frustrating is that people should know their limits and so that they do not waste resources. Accidents of course happen but this isn’t an accident.

Unions representing goat herders in California are lobbying for $204k yearly minimum wage, which would make goat grazing for fire prevention not economically viable, so they would all get fired and end up with $0 per year.
Classic union things.
Marc Joffe@marcjoffe
Under California SB 143 (2023), goat herders have to be paid ~ $17,000 per month effective July 1. That's because they are now entitled to minimum wage 24/7 plus applicable overtime. Unless this is fixed, goats which protect us from wildfire by consuming grass in danger zones will be slaughtered because it will too costly to keep them. Just another instance of sloppy, union-driven legislation in California! abc7news.com/post/south-bay…

Goat grazing is the most environmentally friendly way to reduce fire risk.
It's simple: You bring goats to eat the grass and bushes.
Unfortunately, it will soon be illegal to hire goat herders in California for less than $240k per year, so all these businesses will shut down.
