NOW: #SCOTUS releasing new round of opinions. First one not on our watch list. Still awaiting birthright citizenship, presidential power to dismiss federal agency heads/members, trans-athletes in female sports, counting ballots after election day and more ...

@OwenGregorian I wonder if they kept the best programmers, or those who used the most tokens. 🤔

GitLab cuts 14% of staff as it scales its platform to serve AI workloads | Ram Iyer, TechCrunch Developer platform GitLab has laid off about 14% of its workforce, about 350 employees, as part of a broader restructuring effort it detailed last month. The company said in May that it was going to reduce its workforce as it exited 22 countries, flattened management layers, and invested in infrastructure to scale its platform and serve increased traffic from AI workflows, with a sharper focus on research and development. CEO Bill Staples said during a conference call on Tuesday that agentic workloads are stressing developer infrastructure more than it was designed to handle. It isn’t a problem unique to GitLab. The company’s rival GitHub has itself struggled to deal with a massive influx of AI-powered submissions that have affected its uptime. “Agents work at machine scale, and they’re pushing competitors to the brink. This quarter we began a generational rebuild of git to support the scale and features required for 100x growth. This is a scale requirement that didn’t exist before and has become a real pain point for every team on their agentic journey,” Staples said. Staples said the company has partnered with an unspecified AI lab to design and rebuild its infrastructure for AI workloads, as well as construct APIs “optimized for agents to store and retrieve context, including code.” It is also investing in orchestration tools for coordinating software development between AI agents and developers, building a context layer, and baking in governance tools directly into its platform. GitLab joins a number of tech companies such as Intuit, Amazon, Block, Cisco, Cloudflare, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle that have laid off large numbers of employees, citing a need to make AI a core part of their business. The tech industry has already cut more than 100,000 jobs this year, per Statista, and is on track to outpace both 2024 and 2025 if the layoff trend continues. The pattern is by now familiar: Companies are reporting record revenues while simultaneously shrinking their workforces, with AI cited as both the reason for the growth and the justification for the cuts. Indeed, all of these companies have recently reported strong revenue and profit, pointing to strong demand for AI products, services, or the infrastructure to power them, and GitLab is no exception. On Tuesday, the company reported first-quarter revenue of $264 million, up 23% from a year earlier, and gross margins of 88%. It expects to incur $30 million to $35 million in restructuring expenses as part of the effort. techcrunch.com/2026/06/03/git…

@sentdefender Has Lebanon gone kinetic on Hezbollah? And I wonder if Israel would give targets to Lebanon.

The fourth round of Israel-Lebanon talks is now taking place at the U.S. State Department in Washington. Today’s talks follow yesterday’s lightning phone-diplomacy between the U.S., Israel, the Lebanese government, and Lebanese Hezbollah, following Iran’s announcement that they had suspended talks with the U.S. over Israel’s expansion of strikes and ground operations in Southern Lebanon.

@jeff_gluck No. But O'Reilly was great.

Was Nashville a good race?

@RacingFan_54 @DirtyMoMedia Cleetus flying a helicopter taking supplies to Swannanoa after Helene belies your opinion.

@DirtyMoMedia I'll pass. Can't stand that fucking idiot.

Alright Freddie we’ve waited long enough on this teaser. Tomorrow, CLEETUS himself will join DBC, and he’s bringing Downforce Danny with him 🙏🏻 Cleetus has seen all the clips. No one will be able to run from their takes on this episode 🤫 LEAVE US A VM FOR REACTION THEATRE ☎️ (704) 802-9572

@nickgillespie I generally support President Trump's policies, but the Kennedy Center thing is a sh¡tshow.

OK, but what's to stop Trump from changing HIS name to Kennedy Center? Check and mate...

@VPrasadMDMPH, are you as disappointed with @drdrew as I am to support a non-RCT study such as ar.iiarjournals.org/content/46/6/3… ?

@OompaMantis11 @xbidask @tembofly @NicHulscher @grok Angry, low information posts often contain bot-like terms like "farm" when they misspell pharma. Also, I'm disappointed Grok did not provide the photo.

@xbidask @tembofly @NicHulscher Big farm??? @grok - please illustrate my head being up a big farm's rear end

BREAKING: Largest Human Cancer Study of Ivermectin + Mebendazole Is Now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED in a MAJOR Cancer Journal 84.4% of cancer patients taking ivermectin + mebendazole for 6 months declared either CANCER DISAPPEARANCE, TUMOR REGRESSION, or CANCER STABILIZATION. Our study, “Real-world Clinical Outcomes of Ivermectin and Mebendazole in Cancer Patients: Results from a Prospective Observational Cohort,” is now peer-reviewed and published in Anticancer Research—a major international oncology journal of the International Institute of Anticancer Research (IIAR), established in 1995. The results represent one of the most compelling clinical signals ever documented for repurposed anti-parasitic therapies in oncology. A diverse population of cancer patients (n=197) was prescribed compounded ivermectin–mebendazole through a U.S. telemedicine platform, with each capsule containing 25 mg ivermectin and 250 mg mebendazole. Participants were followed for approximately six months using standardized digital surveys assessing cancer outcomes, medication adherence, and tolerability. At approximately six months post-treatment initiation, we observed an 84.4% Clinical Benefit Ratio (CBR)—meaning more than four out of five patients reported either: No evidence of disease (32.8%) Tumor regression (15.6%) or Cancer stabilization (36.1%) Importantly, adherence was remarkably high, with 86.9% completing the initial prescription and 66.4% remaining on therapy at six months. Side effects were predominantly mild and manageable, reported in 25.4% of patients (primarily gastrointestinal), with 93.6% of those experiencing side effects continuing treatment after minor dosing adjustments. This groundbreaking peer-reviewed publication was made possible through a unique collaboration between The Wellness Company, the McCullough Foundation, and the Chairman of the President’s Cancer Panel—uniting real-world clinical data, frontline medical experience, and epidemiologic expertise to evaluate inexpensive, repurposed therapies with major translational potential. With these extraordinarily promising results, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials are now required. In the meantime, many cancer patients are exercising their right to try. @twc_health @McCulloughFund @IIAR_Journals @P_McCulloughMD @DrHarveyRisch @DrKellyVictory @jathorpmfm @drdrew @PeterGillooly @FosterCoulson

@Jordan_Bianchi @TheAthletic @AndrejevAlex One can have pneumonia for months before it gets bad.

Kyle Busch had bacterial pneumonia for “days to weeks” before he died last week, according to a copy of the death certificate obtained by @TheAthletic on Wednesday. The document listed pneumonia and sepsis among a “chain of events” that caused his death. (w/@AndrejevAlex) nytimes.com/athletic/73135…

@OwenGregorian Also not an UNCLOS signatory? The US. FWIW

Iran Now Walking Back and Repackaging One of Their Demands, Sounding Like Dems | Nick Arama, RedState The U.S. and Iran are reportedly in the process of working out a deal to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump assured people he wasn't going to make the mistakes of the Obama Iran deal, and has placed focus on getting the highly enriched uranium to deter the nuclear threat. In fact, he was even pursuing a broader peace across the region, asking other countries like Saudi Arabia to sign on to the Abraham Accords once the Iran deal is finalized. This also may have pushed Iran to try to clean up its language when it comes to its idea of charging tolls for transiting the Strait of Hormuz. So the regime just came up with a slick move that sounds like a move Democrats would make. Vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz will need to pay fees for “navigational services,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday. Such payments for transiting the waterway were not tolls, he said at a press briefing. “The services that are provided, navigational services, in addition to the measures necessary to protect the environment of the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, and the Sea of Oman, require the collection of certain fees,” Baghaei said, adding that Tehran was “not seeking to collect tolls.” Oh, so they'll scream "environmental fees" like Democrats to get money, leaving out that the only environmental problem is the Iranian regime stopping and attacking ships. Oh, and maybe the regime is possibly releasing oil into the Persian Gulf because they've run out of storage capacity. They're desperate for money with how much they've been crushed, and they want to establish, officially, that they have control over the Strait. The New York Times is reporting they're in talks with Oman about it. The Strait involves the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. Bottom line, though, it doesn't matter what you call it; it's still basically trying to hold people up. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), all ships have the right to unfettered passage, and states cannot charge for it or impede it, even if it is in their territorial waters. While Iran is not a signatory to UNCLOS, Oman is, and Iran still can't do it even if they haven't signed it. Oman has already said they would not charge tolls because they'd agreed to UNCLOS, so it remains to be seen if that report from the NY Times is correct. The allure of the money might attract Oman, but it would not make their neighbors happy with them. Meanwhile, the U.S. and many other nations have spoken out previously against any efforts to charge. And they can't have Iran have control over it, as this episode with their bad behavior has demonstrated. But it's so typical of Iran when they realized they had to walk back tolls, to try to repackage it into something more legally palatable. But that's not going to fly either. redstate.com/nick-arama/202…

@ZiaErica Stick with 10. 11 will make you cry, or at least scream uncontrollably.

Oh no... Do I have to upgrade to 11?? Will I cry if I go from 10 to 11?

@FreddieKraft, I recorded the Wiener 500 and just watched it. Next year, can we get a spotter's scanner next year? Maybe some in-wiener cameras?

@FreddieKraft @KarsynElledge3 Sorry I did not hear about your special earlier. (Danged algorithm)

On my way to JRM Fan Day. Going to swing by the CARS Tour Merch trailer. I’m running a special over there. If you spend $5,000 I’ll give you @KarsynElledge3 phone number. $10,000 for her address. Oh and DBC goes LIVE at 1pm. See ya soon! 🤙🏻

@dagenmcdowell Pneumonia can be sneaky. I wonder if it caused the lowered performance all year?

Kyle Busch was barely 41 and an athlete. And you don’t know what kind of medical treatment he received.

@TigerWhiteFl @dagenmcdowell You mean Richard Childress Racing is retiring the number, right? Yeah, its cool Richard did that.

@dagenmcdowell On a positive note Hendrick Motorsports is retiring the car till his son who is a racer is old enough to take the wheel. For the most part the NASCAR family are very good people and always have been.

@bobpockrass Is order determined by owner or driver points? I note 24 lines up ahead of 22.

@OwenGregorian Did Barron make this?

Haters will say this is AI.

@FFT1776 @realDonaldTrump Who is the replacement?

@realDonaldTrump STEPS TO REMOVE THUNE 🔹FIVE Republican senators force a leadership meeting and challenge Thune. 🔹MAJORITY of Republican Senators vote to replace him. That’s 27 out of 53 votes. Are they telling us we don’t have 27 Senators with integrity? TED CRUZ, WHERE ARE YOU?
