@ClayTravis nature is healing

It appears the fat chicks in spandex and men pretending to be women woke era of failing to sell products has been completely replaced by hot chicks selling products era.

@KevinCastley T1 Chinese cities are spectacular. T2,3,4... it gets whack quickly.

Liberals: “You only post Shenzhen and Shanghai. Why don’t you show the rest of China?” Ok here’s Qingdao. What now?

@Hoang_HQ legit one of my favoritest videos ever.

1984, Heather Elizabeth Parisi covering ‘Maniac’ on Italian TV. What do people remember? Not the vocals, not the outfit… but the male dancer with his absolutely CHAOTIC, HYPERFAST moves — like he’s being electrocuted the entire time! 🔥 Legit one of the most unhinged yet iconic male dance performances ever. The 80s had no filter, just pure raw energy! 💥🕺

@haiou1850962 Rabbit starvation 😳

为兔子捏一把汗，都不敢大声喘气，看到兔子脱离危险，才长出一口气。 绝境突围下野兔的生死战，你更看好猎狗还是野兔？

@RobertMSterling Our "representatives" need a lesson in the meaning of the word.

Saying you’re one of the 535 most powerful people in America because you’re in Congress is one of funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life

@Austen Ludites are the natural reaction to new technology. Every major technology is a threat, and then a boon.

Sometimes it feels like I’m the only person who thinks AI will create far more jobs than it destroys. Isn’t that the obvious outcome of this?

@Rainmaker1973 Furry community is going to send this stock to the moon.

Innovative Japanese engineers created a wearable robotic tail designed to provide perfect balance for the elderly population.

@HeroDividend Think of the flavor. or just imagine how much time he saved. Win-win.

This man is my hero He is eating a pizza wrapped Costco hotdog

@Geiger_Capital "Diversify your portfolio" is the original DEI. All-in on $BIRDS.

If you just put your entire portfolio into $GOOGL last April and then sat on the beach, you'd be up +155% in one year… You stupid idiot.

@HazelAppleyard Is the $10/pushup adjusted for inflation year over year?

$10 per push-up or $1 million?

@damienslash Blue button presser.

Having my 36th covid booster 🫡

@pmarca Because its speelled wrong?

It’s becoming clearer how we’re going to tell that something wasn’t written by AI.

@thsottiaux Shut up and take my money.

You can now keep codex going for days. With GPT-5.5 it will build an entire OS kernel for you if you ask, or find critical bugs in a codebase, or optimize your database schemas, or… the options are endless.

@earthgzr @mattyglesias So, red then? 😄

@atalas @mattyglesias As a blue I would vote against forcing you to press blue

Don’t be stupid, press the blue button.

@ClownWorld All of that design effort wasted because they couldn't put in a decent spout.

I hate it

@CultureCrave Huge. Thank you. I don't know what it is, but something feels wrong about listening to AI music. There are some genuinely high quality songs out there, but once you notice the tells, a switch flips. The art. The lyrics. The voice. I just find myself hitting skip.

Spotify is now adding a 'verified' badge to human artists amid a surge in AI music • More than 99% of the artists Spotify listeners actively search for will be verified • AI music will still be allowed on their platform

@MarioNawfal This isn't a surprising outcome. Mercenaries have a spotty historical record, and nobody wants to die for a lost cause in a foreign land.

🇷🇺🇲🇱 Russian mercenaries in Mali just surrendered to Tuareg rebels and walked out alive, leaving their Malian partners trapped at the base to die... After two days of getting hammered by Tuareg rebels and al-Qaeda fighters in the northern city of Kidal, Russian African Corps fighters got completely surrounded at their base. The rebels offered them a way out: lay down your weapons, walk out peacefully, you live. The Russians handed over their guns and left. The shameful part is these Russians weren't alone at that base. They were stationed there alongside the Malian soldiers they were literally being paid to protect, the actual military of the country that hired them. When the Russians cut their deal and walked away, they didn't take the Malians with them. They didn't negotiate the same exit. They didn't even try. They just left them surrounded, knowing exactly what was coming next. This is what the Wagner-rebranded African Corps actually delivers when the bullets start flying. African governments have been paying Russia for security for years, getting told they're hiring elite operators who'll defend them when the West won't. What they got in Mali was a mercenary force that bailed the moment the math turned against them and traded the lives of their hosts for safe passage. The lesson for every African government currently shopping Russian security partnerships is sitting right there. When it gets ugly, the people you paid to fight for you will fight for themselves first. Source: WaPo, Reuters

@jarvis_best I knew I recognized that face

Greg?

@cremieuxrecueil Imagine you're the first person given the choice: Red, you live. Blue, requires a 50% participation rate, or you and all blues die. You choose Red. Then you find out a not insignificant number of people start pressing blue. Are you a bad person? Are you immoral?

Smart people tend to be more prosocial. They give to charity, they go out and vote, they drive an environmentally-friendly car, they do less crime, they cheat less in games, they get vaccinated, and they see themselves as more altruistic🧵 A smart society is a better society.
