@CisSiberian @HTWardish Ironically, a lot of marines are probably too young to have played this game

@HTWardish Right now there are US Marines saying "I know this island. I played it in BF3 all the time as a kid."

Fun fact for everyone: Kharg Island was a popular multiplayer map in the game Battlefield 3. Some members of our military know more about the layout of this Island than you could even imagine.

@bryan_johnson Wait, I thought this was originally a joke. Did someone really steal your creatine powder?

Update on $630,000 creatine heist. A creatine wholesaler saw my post and reached out. The thief tried to sell the stolen product. Based on his bracelet, he appears to be Sikh Indian. His phone number is (209) 707-8906. Help us solve this!

@justinmilleresq What's an example of some bad tax advice you've seen a good (not the free version) AI model give?

AI has completely revolutionized how easily, quickly and cheaply people can now access bad legal and tax advice.

@kamikazecash @bennybadfingas Hmmm you might need to improve the thumbnail of the $100k challenge videos, because the $100k number isn't prominent enough, maybe provide the P&L in the thumbnail, etc?

The hard truth is that no one is watching the $100k challenge videos (11k views on the last one), to the point where I am not making any money on them after all the work. I’ve got 4 Dank Trades videos in the works instead. I think it’ll be better for the channel and satisfy more of my audience. I’ll keep sharing $100k updates on Twitter for the people that want to see.

The string of Ls I’ve taken on the $100K challenge is remarkably painful. $AMZN down $5,800 (12.3%) $BAH lost $800 $DUOL down $7,200 (45%) $COPJ down $390 (7.4%) $GOOG, while still green, has lost most of its gains Some covered calls along the way have helped out, but it’s ice on the wound. I’m not going to lose sleep over AMZN being down, but man, I’ve so far lost all of 2024 and 2025’s dumpster diving profits.

As a parent of a child born free in America, here’s my take on two Olympians also born free here: Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu. Two paths. Two philosophies. One model of tiger parenting treats a child as a project—gold, fame, branding, nation—all carefully engineered. Impressive? Yes. But whose script is it? The other: a father who pushed hard, then did the hardest thing—he let his daughter walk away at the peak. Medals, money, momentum—gone. Because her life was hers.That’s the difference. Gold vs. freedom. Prestige vs. autonomy. Applause vs. ownership. Freedom is the power to say no—even when the world rewards you for saying yes. Real success isn’t just raising champions. It’s raising free human beings. The measure of love isn’t how high your child climbs—but whether they’re free to choose the mountain. Hats off to Arthur and Alysa Liu. A triumph not just of sport, but of American freedom.

Our refrigerator just died... again. This is our second refrigerator in ten years. It was a Whirlpool, a "plain Jane" model with no bells, no whistles, and no fancy screens. We bought it for its simplicity, thinking it would be the one thing in our house that just worked. It lasted five years and one month, exactly thirty days past the warranty. The repairman’s verdict? A dead compressor. But the real diagnosis... it was Built to Break. Under the guise of "green" regulations and "energy efficiency," we’ve traded tanks that lasted thirty years for plastic-heavy shells that barely last five. We are forced to pay a premium for "high-efficiency" tech that saves ten cents a month on electricity, only to be told to throw the whole $1,500 + unit into a landfill when a single internal component fails. It’s a racket. The government mandates the specs, the manufacturers cut the quality, and the consumer is left holding a bag of spoiled milk. We don’t own appliances anymore; we just lease them from the scrap yard.

@CCrowley100 Muting you and your useless tweets

The duel in “The Deluge” (1974) is widely regarded as the most realistic swordfight ever put to screen because it strips away theatrical flourish and presents combat as it actually was: brutal, exhausting, and governed by physical reality rather than stylized choreography.

@dejavucoder it's because it'll given the top-level code, and fill in the actual important part of the method with "# -- The actual calculation --" instead of just giving the code.

dont hear anybody using gemini 3 pro for coding other than students. its either opus or gpt 5.2 codex or some kimi or glm model. pretty sad after the hype on release time.

The Last Manual Transmission A 75% drop. By the numbers alone, it looks like a disaster. But this chart is also a declaration that an era is ending. In 2022, when Adobe offered $20 billion to acquire Figma, everyone called it insane. Regulators blocked the deal. Figma went public on its own, and now the market won't even give it one-sixth of that valuation. But look at the timing differently, and the story changes. Figma's founders and early investors may be remembered as the people who tried to find the exit at the very peak of "the era when humans moved pixels by hand." Regulators stepped in to prevent monopoly, but in doing so, they saved Adobe from buying the last ticket to the steam locomotive age at the highest possible price. Figma was undeniably a revolution. It was the first to truly realize the concept of "designing together," transforming the era of passing files back and forth into one of real-time collaboration. But that revolution had a premise: humans still did the drawing. Figma was the most elegantly engineered manual transmission sports car ever built. The feel of shifting gears, the timing of the clutch, the thrill of your heartbeat syncing with the engine. Then suddenly, a car with no steering wheel and no pedals appeared. A car where you just say where you want to go. Debating the timing of a manual gear shift is no longer a skill—it's a hobby. What's more chilling is Adobe. An empire of creative tools built over 40 years. Knowing how to use Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects became a profession in itself, a barrier to entry. In truth, Adobe's moat was never its features—it was complexity itself. Understanding layers, using masks, memorizing shortcuts. That arduous learning curve was the job security. Now that wall is crumbling. "Change the background to a beach." "Remove that person from the video." The process evaporates; only the output remains. Forty years of fortress walls, collapsing like sandcastles before a single prompt. This chart isn't about Figma's failure. It's an obituary for an era. Adobe tried to buy that era but couldn't, and the bigger problem is that Adobe itself is fading along with it. They call it the democratization of creativity. A beautiful phrase. But for some, democratization means the fall of a dynasty, and in a world where anyone can be king, the crown weighs less than a feather. The hours memorizing shortcuts, the nights practicing the pen tool, the dawns wrestling with timelines. All those years of honing craft are losing their light before a simple phrase: "Just say it." This chart is asking all of us: Is the skill you've spent your life perfecting just another manual transmission headed for the museum?

@kamikazecash @QualityInvest5 But why do you think that? You're attempting to predict the bottom when you should be dollar cost averaging into a good investment

@QualityInvest5 Yes but it’ll get more undervalued before it’s a buy.

Do you think Duolingo is currently undervalued? $DUOL

@TorturedHistory @SceneinCinema Thank you chatGPT

Affleck did not immediately realize the severity of the injury and completed the take before seeking medical attention, a detail that has contributed to the story’s longevity in behind-the-scenes discussions. The incident has since become a frequently referenced anecdote when discussing the film’s production, highlighting how unscripted moments can leave a lasting mark on a movie’s legacy.

@CJohnStella @HughHansen @billybinion Except you are also one of those people who gets delayed because dipshits in the front take a minute to get their bags from the overhead. So you're suffering from this issue too.

@HughHansen @billybinion So they get delayed by ~1 and social order remains maintained. Seems like the better outcome.

I know I’ve tweeted about this before, but I remain amazed at the number of people who try to deplane before the passengers in front of them. Happens every flight. Violating preschool-level social norms.

@RangedPower @parityprime No, he did sign to private equity, and ever since then he has not be involved in the research or making of the video. He constantly gets explained the findings of the video and he's just like "huh, cool". And he just narrates, and that's it.

@parityprime tweet summarized: shit I made up

video summarized: "I sold out to private equity and they've been slowly kicking me out of my own channel for the past few years. Now they want me to narrate this script They wrote about how I'm retiring"

@DudespostingWs The kid wasn't at risk of hitting the cop car, otherwise he would have slammed on the brakes. He just didn't want to do a forceful brake, maybe because the dad is trying to teach him to ease into the brake. Yeah the kid didn't do it properly, but he wasn't at risk of anything

Dad saves himself and his son from crashing into a police car while the kid is learning how to drive 😂

@sjsweett @fulligin Looks like San Francisco somewhere, but I don't know where

@fulligin Where?

was eating a nice pho today when I felt a sudden "whump" of heat and pressure as the gas station across the street exploded

@emailscvntsend @POTUS5001 @Boring_Tori @jemmacdraws See, I didn't even remember!

@CoderOfStuff @POTUS5001 @Boring_Tori @jemmacdraws max’s last name is mayfield

maybe media does need to be dumbed down now…?

@POTUS5001 @Boring_Tori @jemmacdraws But then that relies on the audience remembering that Hargove is Max's last name

@Boring_Tori @jemmacdraws The comments think international audiences are dumb. I’m sure context clues, like Max mourning someone’s death with the last name Hargrove, is enough for most people to go “oh, that’s the guy from last season, Billy”, even if we don’t know Billy is a nickname for William

@thefactitorium @TheFigen_ Thank you ChatGPT.

This is one of the most beautiful and patient systems in geology. A geode is a time capsule from an ancient volcanic eruption. It starts as a simple gas bubble trapped in cooling lava, which forms a hollow, hard-shelled cavity. Then, for millions of years, mineral-rich groundwater seeps through microscopic pores in that shell. Slowly, molecule by molecule, it deposits those beautiful amethyst crystals onto the inner walls. It's a masterpiece of slow-drip chemistry, a hidden jewel box that just looks like a boring river rock from the outside until you crack the code.

The moment of finding the amethyst stone.

@nabeelqu You should have typed "my "legal team"" instead, because it's the legal team that's dubious, not you having a legal team. Plus it looks like you're quoting them saying "my legal team"

Someone at a big co asked me if “my legal team” could join the next call and I didn’t have the heart to tell them it’s o1 pro

@vikhyatk @TheXeophon And what is he getting out of this? Some laughs and twitter followers? A degree from Columbia is worth more than that.

@TheXeophon he's getting 100x more value out of this than the columbia degree is worth

Man I wanna fast forward 5 years to see where the guy is at
