🚨 MEET 11-YEAR-OLD SAMUEL HENDERSON — THE KID WITH AUTISM & TOURETTE SYNDROME WHO JUST STOLE THE INTERNET’S HEART! 🐦❤️
For YEARS this amazing boy practiced his one-of-a-kind talent completely alone in his schoolyard… and now he’s blowing minds on stage.
Watch as Samuel takes full command like a total boss. He tells the crowd, “Save your applause until the end!” Then he starts pulling plush toy birds out of a bag and delivers the most INCREDIBLY accurate bird calls you’ll ever hear — perfect hoot of a Great Horned Owl, spot-on gobble of a Wild Turkey, and dead-on honk of a Canada Goose. The audience loses it!
Posted by his proud mom, Lori Henderson, this reel is pure proof that autism and Tourette’s don’t limit you — they can unlock superpowers most of us can only dream of.
Samuel isn’t just talented… he’s courageous, focused, and an inspiration to every kid (and adult) out there chasing their passion.
Tag a parent, teacher, or friend who needs this feel-good boost today! ❤️
Drop your favorite bird call in the comments — did he nail it or what?! 👇

Hey @ucdavisvetmed school.

Honorary degree this kid now.

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.”

He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.

Game. Set. Match.

This is top shelf social media at its best.

Umm, no. IMO, chores are not a problem that needs solving. It’s an outlet for me.

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free.

Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing.

In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed.

By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services.

Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way.

Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

@Maurozlima @java Great to connect, Mauro! I was laid off from Oracle’s Java team. If you search the community page, you’ll find a mailing list to get connected with the remaining team. Wishing you all the best.

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged.

Today, voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

Let’s get this one right, Georgia. Find your nearest polling station and cast your ballot before 7pm ET:  https://t.co/OHJnsHnuiB

One of the problems with AI coding is that the narrative on X (and other social media platforms) is mostly set by people who don't have the deep coding and software engineering experience of the likes of Bjarne Stroustrup.

Meanwhile the fundamental problems remain unaddressed:

1- AI generates super-human volumes of code
2- The code can be buggy, have security holes, be inefficient, etc.
3- The person who owns the code can be mostly unaware that such problems exist, so they won't even go after fixing them
4- The people who can actually fix the code (i.e., the software engineers who understand design, architecture, security best practices, etc.) are so overwhelmed that some of them will give up

Meanwhile, AI companies are constantly pushing the narrative that you don't need to look at the code and the AI will fix everything itself. What they don't tell you is that if your code fails, you'll be held accountable, not them.

#Java peers...if you're based in or traveling to Zurich, Switzerland, come meet @elide_sg from @elide_dev. He's available May 23-27 to talk shop (maybe even treat you to food & drinks). DM me so I can make the connection and share his contact details.

⚡️Java 25 is the fastest OpenJDK yet. But Azul Prime is 21.8% faster than OpenJDK 25—and keeps getting faster over time.
