@scs_real That is my husband watching any movie with guns that we've ever watched in 40 some years. I get all the deets, the history, I should be a gun expert by now. But I just leave that to the old Marine in the house. 💗

AJ was watching some true crime and the host claimed the murder weapon was a Savage Model 23, I said no, that's a Browning Citori over-under in 20 gauge. She was astonished, how could I possibly know that? So I went and got my Model 23, and my Citori, she's shot both BTW, and I showed her. 😂😂😂😂😂

We have transparency into measurable intelligence of politicians; it hasn't helped. The reason for public schools was to have an informed electorate. With frightening illiteracy rates across this country, the electorate is increasingly unable to read bills/laws/regulations. They cannot do math to see the effects of policies either. Our existential crisis has been in play for a couple generations now.

Do you think everyone should know their personal IQ? What about politicians, should we have transparency into their objective measurable intelligence?

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

@ItzikBasman Hell yaaas

And to my ears her tribute to Billie Holiday, Mystery Lady, is the best Billie Holiday tribute record. She captures Billie Holiday’s late career world weariness that elevated her singing to even higher artistry, capped off by the incredible Lady In Satin.

@chesi_crypto @VargasKevi23363 That's ok. Stories matter.

@VargasKevi23363 este es el típico hilo de engagement bait escrito por alguien que nunca pisó un aeropuerto el próximo tweet va a decir que el tipo le entregó una carta, que le dio un abrazo, y que le cambió la vida

Trabajo en una aerolínea haciendo check-in. Ocho horas de turno, cientos de caras, nadie te mira realmente a los ojos. Ayer se me acercó un señor mayor con una maleta pequeña y me puso el pasaporte encima del mostrador. Cuando abrí su reserva vi que había comprado el tiquete ese mismo día. Solo ida. Le pregunté si tenía equipaje para facturar. Me dijo que no, que lo que cargaba era todo. Algo en su cara me hizo ir más despacio.

I hear the song of the Varied Thrush this morning.🧡 This means Spring, even though it was snowing yesterday. SE Alaska.

They sure do: Robinhood needs to upgrade for people who want to do Roth conversion. Robinhood: "You must sell any securities in your traditional IRA and convert only the withdrawable cash to your Roth IRA. In-kind transfers of stocks or other securities are not supported for Roth conversions."

@NotTodayEric Right! Our music is now Muzak.😄

This grocery store is playing great songs. Oh no.

@Demeter_Erinia There was no boredom, maybe because there was no expectation of something else to entertain you & your buddies but yourselves. Kids weren’t required to stay inside either but if that happened there were books. Gad I sound old.

Those who grew up without screens and smartphones : WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU WERE BORED?

Without googling, can you name a famous king?

@MornelitheVT1 @chamath You can be right or you can be effective.

@usernom99 @chamath I don't see any negotiations from the 'people' happening. I see them just shitting on everything via fear mobs. That's fine, totally their right. They have no right to technology they didn't contribute to.

Not a good sign for the foundation model companies…

@MornelitheVT1 @chamath Sure - good idea, just stomp on the people. No need to discuss, negotiate, or appease. That’ll get you winning every time. Has everybody lost their minds? And then you wonder why people hate AI, big tech and capitalism. Real rocket science to figure that out…

Real easy solution, all these AI companies, control significant services that the US depends on. Those services should be restricted away from Towns, Cities and States that refuse to contribute. Amazon Youtube Facebook Instagram X Tesla SpaceX Nvidia Apple Microsoft Etc... terminate functionality of hardware and services in all locations that take tech for granted.

@QuestristHumble Nice - I know a mountain hemlock that grew a twisty trunk just like that.

My hiking stick received several compliments on the trail today, so I guess I’ll show it off here as well. It’s been my trusty companion for eight years.

@coastalmom That's kind of funny but a girl still needs salmon!

Husband won’t let me buy salmon from the all women crewed boat because the fishmonger goes by They :(

@AlchemicCowgirl short XtraTuffs

laCrosse or muck boots or xtratuff ? I want the short height just for daily chores

@Matt_Pinner 3452839 - look at it obliquely and soften your gaze, tilt your phone if that’s what you’re looking at it with.

I'm so freaking blind. I see 528. Who can see the rest of the numbers?

@KeruboSk The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

What is a book that absolutely shattered your heart and devastated you emotionally, but you still fiercely recommend it to everyone? I need to add to my TBR.

@Benedicta_Bee It’s quite all right to remember that your faith is not the same thing as the Catholic Church. JC is the important one.

How can a Catholic Catholic if they disagree with literally everything the Pope says? I mean this sincerely. How do we reconcile this? I would not belong to a Protestant church promoting or professing these radical beliefs? What do we as Catholics do? Sincere question.

@angelojello74 Good man. May your tribe increase.

My neighbor came over around 600pm. She had a problem with her hot water tank. The problem was a leak. The tank is done. She was going to call a plumber but I told her I’ll take care of it. A plumber on a weekend would be crazy expensive. I went to shut the water off to the tank. The water valve wouldn’t turn. It’s also done. I shut the water off at the meter. Lucky I had some valves here at the house. I fixed that. Told her tomorrow we can run out and get a new tank and I’ll put it in. I know she doesn’t have a lot of money. She’s elderly and all alone. So my son and I will take care of it. She offered to pay. I told no, just get us a pizza for lunch.
