@George0rwell@VelonCC@VingegaardJonas@vismaleaseabike Exactly. Avoids Pog, mano e mano one day race he’s trash, world championship he’s trash. Typical stage racer, when it’s on the line, one day winner take all, he sucks.
Imagine being so talented you could make marble appear soft to the touch. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was only 23 years old when he created this breathtaking masterpiece in the 1600s.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini was just 23 years old when he finished The Abduction of Proserpina in 1622. Widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the Baroque era, the sculpture is celebrated for making solid Carrara marble appear remarkably soft and lifelike. Its most famous detail depicts Pluto’s fingers sinking into Proserpina’s thigh, creating the astonishing illusion of flesh yielding under pressure.
Through dramatic movement, deep shadows, and exquisitely polished surfaces, Bernini transformed rigid stone into what seems like flowing fabric, delicate skin, and even tears. Today, this extraordinary display of artistry and emotion can be seen at the Galleria Borghese in Rome.
@ContadorSchleck@mou55981652 Sorry, you're right, how could I of forgotten MSR?! So three races. I love his balls out style and I'd love to see more of him racing!
@kaitduffy 100%. There was some probably 40-50 year old guy at the gym last night with a Giants tattoo and I thought what decent serious woman would be with an immature douche like that??
22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.
He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.
Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊

@Brianjh0867@GiaMMacool There used to be this great website that listed all of these stats but it's gone now and I can't find another one. It was pretty amazing to see how rough statistically men have it. Workplace deaths, custody, military, abuse, homelessness, etc., etc.
What is my reaction supposed to be here, awwww poor cop, he doesn't deserve this? Yes he does! Dude was speeding and then became belligerent allegedly and got pepper sprayed? So cop follows and essentially thinks flipping over the car is the right move? No other options. Just follow the guy? Get his plate or access the fucking Flock cameras probably all over the place or just follow him but no I think flipping over the car is the way to go.
@TheTradingNinja I don't know that I've seen your take on BTC? Personally I don't get it. It has zero value if it stops trading. It's based on the greater fool theory period. The only explanation I ever get is 'you just don't get it'. I get the concept but I don't get the reality.
@lucxsronald Look at these guys! Look at those legs and the veins! And then you look at Pog before, during, after, and he looks like the average dude at the coffee shop, bizarre.
Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the AI bubble "pop"
"we're at maximum AI hype right now"
"they're [punching] out three IPOs, SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI"
"a lot of these companies... [are] not going to go away"
"[But] OpenAI may go to zero and Anthropic may go to zero, [and] their assets will be bought up for pennies on the dollar"
This clip of Dowd (@DowdEdward), a former BlackRock fund manager and co-founder of Phinance Technologies, is taken from an interview with Greg Hunter (@USAWatchdog) posted to Rumble on May 29, 2026.
----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------
"What it means is eventually all this CapEx spending stops because the credit markets and I suspect— we're at maximum AI hype right now because they're trying to punch out three IPOs, SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI. And these guys are not making enough money to justify the amount of CapEx they're doing.
"The other thing that I think is going to potentially blow up the AI bubble is they don't have enough power to plug in all this CapEx into.
"So they're announcing all this CapEx, they're pre-buying equipment and chips but they can't plug it into the power grid. We just don't have enough power to justify all these data center buildouts. The constraining factor is power.
"And look, there's a disconnect. I think Wall Street is less focused on the public outrage that's going on that you can see happening all across the country. People are protesting these data centers. College, students are booing commencement speakers that talk about AI.
"There seems to be a very, very large anti AI sentiment going on out there which will muck up the works and slow down the data center buildouts politically.
"And if you slow down the capex build out, the valuations of all these companies go a lot lower because they rely on you know, exponential growth and when the growth doesn't show up at these valuations they'll pop...
"And look a lot of these companies that are doing the AI, Microsoft, Oracle, Google, they're not going to go away. They'll just cut back their CapEx. They won't go bankrupt but their valuations and their earnings will go lower as they write off all these mal investments. So it's not like a lot of companies are going to go bankrupt. I mean, OpenAI may go to zero and Anthropic may go to zero, but their assets will be bought up for pennies on the dollar."
@kimkinetic@TheTradingNinja Haha well put. Anything that is wildly popular and palatable usually sucks! Ninja is Italian espresso in a world of whipped cream Frappachino bullshit.
