I'm normally strange...

We're here for a short time. But not trees.

The Bristlecone Pine tree is one of the oldest living organisms on Earth, estimated to be nearly 5,000 years old.

Think about this. It will all be so impossible to unwind—more impossible than “not thinking about the bridge” for us or it even now.

New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.

Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.

We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.

Here’s a timelapse made from my RAWs if you want to see how this thing was moving

[Feldspar @GrumpyHistory]

@elonmusk Capitalism was originally a progressive idea. The idea that your station in life/class could be decided by something other than birth. How noble 😉. But systems should continue to evolve when that class again becomes rigid for all below the middle.

[Feldspar @GrumpyHistory]

@jammles9 @elonmusk Yeah but SSN is already needed to register. I was born in a hospital in the 80s in a busy area. I was able to get college loans with my ID and birth cert, but when Real ID came turns out my OG birth cert wasn’t real enough. It took weeks to get one. To find out at the polls? Nah

@elonmusk You mean it will stop showing me Don Jr constantly and start showing me people I actually follow again?

[Feldspar @GrumpyHistory]

@MrPitbull07 @elonmusk How is removing the visas of those who came here LEGALLY following the law?

[Feldspar @GrumpyHistory]

@elonmusk Look at how many kids in the foster system are abused. Just little citizens living with citizens, being abused. And yet we continue to reduce funding for foster over site and social work. #therealproblem

[Feldspar @GrumpyHistory]

Yike.

Stephen Miller says the White House is looking into suspending habeas corpus, which protects people from unlawful detentions: "A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not."

Live him, but think it’s true in Gemstones too

#Roseanne Anyone else think John Goodman is reading all his lines from cue cards? He sure seems to be looking in odd directions.

This is unusual trading by a politician.

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, on April 8th.

On April 17th, Palantir, $PLTR, was awarded a government contract with ICE to develop ImmigrationOs.

She sits on the Committee of Homeland Security

Palantir is up nearly 50% since.

@AnnCoulter Also interesting how Ann got throttled after posting this on the free speech platform. In general for search, but also specifically this post, since before and after interacting with this post, I had instant response from non-critical-of-Trump-admin posts

[Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter]

Would it be possible to have a cabinet meeting without the Kim Jong il-style tributes?

[Matt Johansen @mattjay]

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

@MdBreathe @SecKennedy The Ohio Legislature *

[Feldspar @GrumpyHistory]

@MdBreathe @SecKennedy I’m just excited to be able to grab spoons from the drawer without having to leave my seat, thanks to the COVID jab. I wouldn’t have known it was possible without you telling Congress about it!

The workhorse doesn’t ride in the cart. #straightfromthehorsesmouth

@WallStreetApes @elonmusk I feel like they said this about Biden, and all through Obama, and even when Dubya was in charge that the Dems were coming for the guns. Does make a great ad to stockpile ammo though.
