Never did like those smokestacks in Morro.
Thanks big guy.

@WorldBankGroup When I went to read the article my browser said, "This website does not support a secure connection".

Took me a minute.

[Gary Ray R - Sláva Ukrayíni! Angry Geezer. @Subvetnuc]

I agree.

i can think of no circumstance where an ai model that is a critical national security risk for foreigners somehow becomes safe for all americans to use.

News from Texas. These things are spreading.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

In 2018, @elonmusk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income.

He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

Withdraw all forces from Persian gulf, lift all sanctions on Iran, give Iran $12B immediately and $12B more in 60 days, give Iran $300B in construction, let Iran control/toll Strait of Hormuz. US gets promise to discuss Iran nukes. This is not a deal. It is a US surrender.

I'm an old Cold War Warrior, I knew he was a Polezni Durak.
Nice to see others say so.

[Craig Unger @craigunger]

1/ Last month I told a room of Baltic intelligence officers and diplomats that Donald Trump is an asset of Russian intelligence. Not one of them blinked. "Of course," they said. Ho hum. But in America, saying it out loud is still taboo. Why? 🧵

[Gary Ray R - Sláva Ukrayíni! Angry Geezer. @Subvetnuc]

@SenAdamSchiff Adam, you and Gavin need to get together and figure out what you can do Federally and State.
Now.

@EggerDC @offhandmanor1 I don't believe a word of it, but if we did help get 200 ships out, that is a drop in the bucket.
Before the war over 100 ships a day sailed through the strait.
This is 2 days worth.

[Gary Ray R - Sláva Ukrayíni! Angry Geezer. @Subvetnuc]

Damn it. This should be the headline in every paper.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her.
Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them.

I mean, how the fuck isn’t this the biggest scandal in the world right now?

"Praise the Lord, and pass the ball."
I do like this Pope.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

"Sorry, Claude said no."

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

tired: introspection (reflect on your relationships)

wired: whooptrospection (download your wearables data, cross reference with face time for everybody in your life, give the whole thing to Claude Code, make a biometric matrix of interpersonal calmness, export to Excel, reverse rank by heart rate, “Siri ask whoever’s at the top of column C to come over for beers to watch game 4”

[Gary Ray R - Sláva Ukrayíni! Angry Geezer. @Subvetnuc]

I agree completely with this. There is no choice.
And also well said.

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

In our system, we sort out which faction plays what role in the coalition during primaries. It's totally normal for those to be spirited. But then the moral dimension changes dramatically. Except...for some people, sometimes they conveniently forget that. https://t.co/W3nrGl9iXy

[Gary Ray R - Sláva Ukrayíni! Angry Geezer. @Subvetnuc]

@YWNReporter Even if this were true, which I doubt, the 200 ships that this would represent is a drop in the bucket.
Before the war about 100 ships a day would pass through the Strait. This is 2 days worth.

World Cup, but leave out the World part.

[Hildegard Angel Oficial @hilde_angel]

Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026:
• As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios.
• O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático.
• O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido.
• Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos.
• Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã.
• Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido.
• A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam.
- Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???

@JoyceCarolOates 1 out of 4 people in the US have a disability (something that prohibits an activity of daily living)
When you get to be 60 years old it increases to almost 1/2 of people have a disability.
You are only temporarily able bodied.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

So… Iran, a country whose military we’ve “destroyed”, was able to shoot down one of our Apache helicopters, during a “ceasefire”, in the middle of a war that isn’t a war, which is “two days” away from ending?
