So that’s what was going on 🤣

What really happened after the State Dinner.

My favorite graph right now, fun to see how this goes 🍿🙏

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

Seems like a good time for an update on a graph from my 2015 post on AI.

@realDonaldTrump None, “Artificial” is still the correct terminology.

@CarloCisco Tried this company, it was so embarrassing showing my “select” card after making reservations with them multiple times. Restaurants had no idea what “select” was. With that, no discount, only a good slap in the face. Never again will I use this company.

[Greg Parker @GregzParker]

This is such a great post ❤️
You nailed it 🤙

I need to make a very PUBLIC announcement on behalf of younger GenXers and older Millennials.

If you see someone in their 40s or 50s who seems a little boring now, I need you to understand something...

We already got it in.

Like...GOT. IT. IN.

We are not sitting home on a Friday night because we never knew how to have fun.
We are sitting home on a Friday night because we have seen enough.

We went to parties in houses that should have been condemned and were almost certainly owned by the local drug dealer.

We saw police lights and RAN and not across a nice, flat field.
INTO THE WOODS.

Do you understand the athleticism required to hurdle uprooted tree roots in platform shoes while simultaneously trying to keep your low-rise jeans from sliding completely off your ass?

And somehow...we never spilled the Zima. We never spilled the Boone’s Farm.

That was TALENT.

We slept on floors in strange houses because the designated driver either never showed up or, in a shocking turn of events, was drunker than everybody else.

There was no Uber, Life360 or Find My Friends.
There was just somebody named Mike saying, “I know a shortcut.”

And we FOLLOWED MIKE.

We closed down bars and then decided the night was still young, so we drove to Atlantic City, where we somehow managed to get drunk, sober up, get drunk again, sober up again and then get drunk a THIRD TIME before breakfast.

And according to our parents? We were at Michelle’s house.

Eating pizza and watching movies.

Michelle’s mother unknowingly covered for approximately 17 people every weekend. If there even was a Michelle.

We drank things called Purple Passion, Mad Dog 20/20 and whatever somebody mixed inside a giant plastic garbage can. Nobody asked what was in it. You grabbed a red Solo cup and trusted the process.

We went to clubs until the lights came on. Do you know the psychological damage of seeing a nightclub with the LIGHTS ON? Nothing good happens after those lights come on.

We danced for four straight hours in shoes that permanently altered the structure of our feet.

We made entire plans without cell phones...no texts, dropped pins or group chats...just an extremely questionable sense of direction.

We rode in cars with 11 people when the vehicle legally seated five. Someone was always sitting on someone. Someone was always in the hatchback.
And there was always one friend yelling, “DUCK!” when we passed a cop.

So yes...now we like being home.
We like sweatpants.
We like cancelling plans.
We like saying, “That sounds fun!” with absolutely no intention of attending.
We like restaurants at 5:30 because we can get a good table.
We like being home by 8:17.

And if someone texts at 9:30 PM and says, “What are you doing?”
Sleeping...we are sleeping.

Because this is not boring my friends...this is retirement.

We already played, partied and danced on the bar.
We already ran from the cops through a wooded area dressed like a Spice Girl.

We have stories that cannot be posted because there are still people with careers, marriages and reputations to protect. And thank GOD there were no camera phones.

So kids, when you look at your Gen X and older Millennial parents sitting peacefully on the couch watching Dateline at 8 PM and think:
“God, you guys are boring.”

Sweetheart...oh sweetheart.
You are looking at retired legends.

Put some respect on our names. We're probably the reason Life360 was invented.

@stoolpresidente Amazeballs!! 🤣🤣🤣😀🙏

@kurtistryber @OpenAI Nope 🤡

@bryan_johnson I built this ThirtySix app, hoping it helps a few people live better 🤙

@elonmusk and @cursor_ai

Thank you for making coding so much fun again 🤙

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

Which would you rather listen to?

AOC or Elon's Starship Raptor engine?

If you’re having a bad day - remember all of “our” life’s problems, accomplishments, and spats, exist only right here 😵‍💫

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

[Lifespan @JoinLifespan]

A major new paper reframes aging as a systems failure of epigenetic information. Not wear and tear but a software problem. This is what the Information Theory of Aging predicts and, if correct, means aging is reversible.

Let's dive in... 🧵

[Interstellar @InterstellarUAP]

🚨 Simulation Theory: The Double Slit Experiment proves particles act like waves until observed then they snap into particles.

What if our reality only "renders" when we're looking, just like a video game optimizing resources?

Check out this episode from The Why Files breaking it down, tying it to Simulation Theory. Are we in a sim?

This could be the key to unlocking the true nature of existence!

The Why Files video did a great job on explaining the Double Slit Experiment & Simulation Theory

What do YOU think—real or rendered? Drop your thoughts below!

RIP Chuck 😏

[Don Keith @RealDonKeith]

🤣This is a hilarious montage of Chuck Norris jokes.

If you think about it, he really was the first 80’s action hero and pretty much started the genre of 80’s and 90’s action movies.
