Hey, Neo, my husband won't be home for hours...

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

For people suddenly worried about inaccurate historic depictions of ancient figures, I have some very bad news about a certain someone...

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@SebJohnsonUK Metaphorical ones, or...?

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@eastdakota I dunno. Doesn't seem historically accurate. They're not even Greek!

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

Wait until these people discover the 137,689 versions of Romeo & Juliet...

You don’t change a thing about a poem that has withstood 3,000 years. How narcissistic of Nolan.

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

There is so much stupid in the world. But I truly feel this may perfectly encapsulate the moment in which we live.

[Josh Olson @joshuarolson]

@comic_sports Mother fucker. Helen of Troy was a half human half god who was hatched from an egg. Don't you know anything about historical accuracy?

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@CptNibbleswrth Yes, sign up and you will see.

So we're clear: If you are still glazing Elmo, you are glazing a white supremacist. IDGAF how many rockets he launches. He is who he is.

[Reggie B. @reggiebblue]

The Economist: You have close to 250 million followers on X. You say things like "civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when"

Elon Musk: On the current trend, yes.

The Economist: When were you last in the UK?

Musk: A few years ago

The Economist: Exactly. I live there. That is nonsense. The numbers also disprove what you say. London is a much safer city than any city in the US. You have painted Europe and the UK as overrun with terrifying Muslim immigrants, there's rape on every corner, there's civilizational destruction.

Musk: I didn't say any of those things.

What is all this press and hold this image shit?

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@Dorialexander So far? Are you tweeting in the middle of the movie? 🎥

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@Real_Moviescene Like everyone in the movie, Achilles is a dipshit. His mom tells him if he goes, he will die, but become a legend. So he goes. What an ass.

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@nikitabier What's the deal with the sudden flood of Press and Hold this Image tweets?

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

No idea who this nube is, but blocking him for not calling it a tweet...

[Jensen Huang @JensenHuang]

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

This dude is the US Ambassador to France and currently lives in Paris, but ok...

SCOOP: lifelong New Yorker Charles Kushner tells me why he is leaving NYC:

“I don’t want to pay taxes and live in a city with a blatantly antisemitic mayor and his antisemitic wife, period.

I also don’t want to live in a city with the people who voted for him.”

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@DKThomp If you think that's bad, wait until people discover the 10,987,634 variations on Romeo & Juliette. Just absolute butchery!

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

Breaking: Dr. Frankenstein wants to ensure he still has proper help in case his monster gets loose again.

[Sam Altman @sama]

i want the US to win in AI both in open source and proprietary models, and i am glad to see this

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@bencostantini @MistralAI U thought the future was NFTs. Turns out, it's tote bags.

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

Good news: I've just figured out how to pay for my retirement...Now, if I can just find that Box O' Crap I have in a storage unit in that Shurgard location under the new @MistralAI HQ...

[Chris O'Brien @obrien]

@bencostantini @MistralAI Ben, I expect you may be sitting atop a mountain of buried treasure, Mr. Events Guy. :-)

@plbiojout @dealroomco Maybe the dumbest statistic in the history of dumb statistics. But let's go with it: The inverse is that job insecurity makes your country rich. So, is that why Americans in general are so happy and content with the state of their country?

@sharongoldman @MistralAI True fact: As a much younger-ish Mercury News reporter, I unsuccessfully pitched a book about the dot-com boom/bust.
