@vicfirth What happened w/the quality of your drumsticks? I used Vic Firth Rock sticks exclusively for well over a decade. In the last year and a half they are breaking at 4x rate they used to. Others on social media are saying same thing. Now searching for a more durable brand.

@walterkirn A cursory look at the historical evidence behind the UFO phenomena shows they have always been a cover for classified aerospace programs. It's a sophisticated and successful operation that has scaled up alongside drone development. It's obvious, right?

Freaky drones are seen nightly all over NJ for like a month causing a near national panic but if I bring up the UFO subject in any serious way people be like "He's weird." You really can't win here.

@DreamHostCare Looks good, thx

@zacshaw Hey there! Sorry to hear that. We just had a small hiccup, and the panel should be back online. Please let us know if this is working now. We'll be right here AA

wooow... #ChatGPT5 on "think hard" mode with proper prompting can write some insanely good roots for song lyrics. 50% of its lyrics are already far better than 90% of lyricists. I might never write another song without plucking something from the LLM ether.

In a couple years AI has gone from a fascinating novelty to integral or at least somewhat useful in much of what I do. As this tech progresses, it will be woven into lives the way electricity, internet & smartphones were. Robotics will follow. The promises & perils are real.

@Atlassian Your password recovery code email is broken for me, it never hits my inbox or spam folder, so I'm locked out of Trello and about to go back to Monday if it doesn't work soon. I can change the password just fine, but when prompted for the code from the email, no email

@theblackvault Dude… even a cursory glance at the history of UFOs being used to cover classified weapons programs gives you MOUNTAINS of incontrovertible evidence. This is just your cognitive dissonance talking.

Lots of people talking about this article in different ways - but am I the only one bothered by the fact there are no sources being cited for all of these 'newest' claims? The idea that 'aliens' are simply cover for black budget tech has been around for decades, but where's the proof that puts the entire topic to bed? This seems to be yet another news article with many claims, and no undeniable evidence to back it up. Whether an article claims aliens... or whether an article claims aliens are cover for top secret tech... this all is more of the same. Big claims - no sources - with the overall goal to get a clickity click to the article. Ironically, there's a big fat paywall on this one in order to see it. Overall: big whoop.

there never was nothing cuz nothing can’t was everything is in the act of because

@allenanalysis Or it’s funneling dissent into a cul-de-sac, like the majority of protests these days.

BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds.

One area where AI is just kicking total ass for me is in creating spreadsheets and analyzing/manipulating the data within them. Saving hours left and right. #ai

@Liv_Boeree Some humans… many aren’t and that’s the problem

We’re in the last few months of easy discernment between real and AI footage. After that, we can rely only on our priors and evaluation of source through robust epistemological enquiry. Luckily humans are really good at that.

@CloserToTruth As a fan: Orch-OR is a most convincing model. The lack of of wider interest is baffling. There is something because there is not nothing. Consciousness is something’s answer to entropy & seeking pleasure is the way to sustain it.

What is the biological basis of consciousness?

@TomDwan @abrilzucchi Tom, I have always looked up to you as a poker player. Remember that most of these people giving you shit have lived lives far less ordinary than your insanely adventurous journey. Spazz on, brother, and take care of yourself. Sick run.

Btw if people around me had listened properly to my request for public pressure… I woulda avoided ~10days of being held effectively prisoner and being drugged against my will. Gonna try n not spazz tweet much until @abrilzucchi stream tho. Need some 🏖️ 🏝️

So much is more important than social media, but it ain’t nothin’

@gdb are agents going to primarily be for enterprise or will the unwashed masses get them soon?

2025 is the year of agents.

“I'd like to say directly to the members of our military and our intelligence community; the time is now, where you must choose, whether you honor your oath or your orders. And if you have courage, you already know the answer. But for the rest of you - lead, follow, or get out of the way. Get out of the way.” - Matthew Brown, UFO Whistleblower youtu.be/PtBVAxoHeaY

@MatthewBerman Maybe you’re too preoccupied about falling asleep

I can't fall asleep at night. I've tried everything, nothing helps. * Exercise daily * Sunlight first thing in the morning * First and last coffee 7:30am * No screens before bed * Last meal 4 hours before bed * Meditation * Sleep restriction * I don't drink alcohol * Only get in bed when ready to sleep * Weighted blanket * 8 Sleep set to cool * Room is cold But, without fail, my brain won't let me sleep. I get to the point where I'm about to fall asleep, then I wake up and that's it...I'm up. Any suggestions are very welcome. cc @bryan_johnson
