Make a band bigger. I’ll go first:

Maroon 8.

@SeanMombo I do not believe:
1. God as source of morality
2. God as source of free will

I do believe:
3. In God
4. That mankind is fundamentally ignorant and evil

So I think we're 0/4 on agreeing here which is really something. But found this stimulating to think about, so thank you!

@perrymetzger Drop the "hub". It's cleaner

@eigenrobot Can't speak to translation quality but I enjoyed the one on Gutenburg: https://t.co/J4zHsTZaye

My italian-speaking brother recommended it so presumably it doesn't suck

Swedish sailor Åke Viking dies at the age of 67.

Viking gained fame when, working as a sailor in 1955, he sent a message in a bottle “To Someone Beautiful and Far Away” out to sea.

After several months, the bottle reached the shores of Sicily, and a 15-year-old girl named Paolina, who wrote to Viking.

They maintained a two-year correspondence before marrying in 1958, and they remained married for 43 years, until Åke’s death today.

@LeadingReport That's hearsay. He was playing Halo 3 on split screen with me when this happened.

[Habitual Linecrosser @HLC_actual]

@LeadingReport Physically impossible he was with me on a hunting trip.

[Jack Lawson @JackRLawson]

@LeadingReport Impossible. He was at my house having a BBQ at that time. Not guilty

I think this guy should be sentenced to having a guy follow him around and tell this story every time he walks into a bar

Dad poses as his 11-year-old daughter on TikTok to lure her alleged rap*st to his home, then sh—ts him, per NYP.

[nick kokonas @nickkokonas]

so naturally one asks -- why would they *want* to build crappy grocery stores that have conflicting goals and will be mismanaged? Because either that's the goal... or else they have no idea how to actually craft an RFP or run a business.

Cutting wheat yesterday: roughly 100 grains harvested for each grain sown. In the 1300s on the Bishop of Winchester's manors, 5:1 was a good harvest, 3:1 a bad one. Thank you, Haber-Bosch nitrogen fixation and hydrocarbons, for feeding billions and sparing land.

@senatorshoshana I don't know, I think all of these are well summed-up by concubinage ;)

@Rightofred @AlexGodofsky Well, the last three decades would suggest there's lots of consumer demand for software, which AI is genuinely good at

@ByrneHobart @w4rd I have good news for you about the marginal effects of these policies on New York's wealth

@BradWilcoxIFS Think you have a typo in your last sentence

[Mr. Smith @SmithandOrwell]

@kendrictonn I strongly agree, he's essentially unreadable to me right now
