every person that is anti-AC for climate change reasons should also give up their heater. heating contributes 4x the emissions that cooling does. if you are cold you should simply wear more clothing. this will save the earth and prove that you are Good and Moral.

It’s awesome to see how much joy and celebration we can have in downtowns that have been neglected for 75 years. Hopefully this ignites a true renaissance in our cities across the country.

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW

Fun Fact: Alan Greenspan & John Maynard Keynes crossed paths. According to Greenspan, in 1944, he stayed at the NH Mt. Washington Hotel during the Bretton Woods Conference (UN Monetary & Fin Conference) traveling as a Henry Jerome Orchestra jazz clarinet player only 1 floor apart

I'm being so serious when I say the University of Michigan should fire Warde Manuel. 3 football coaches and 3 basketball coaches in 8 years!

BREAKING: University of Michigan coach Dusty May has agreed to become the new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell me, @AdamSchefter, @PeteThamel. Major college-to-pro jump for the 2026 NCAA championship coach and swing for the Mavericks and Masai Ujiri.

Pretty easy to draw a straight line between cheap compute and affordable healthcare; just one good example of how building more data centers could help people. Worth questioning whether this is an edge case or the future of healthcare.

MidJourney just announced... a full body ultrasound! Yup... read on because it's as crazy as it sounds.

"As powerful as MRI and as casual as a trip to the spa"

They are calling it "the @midjourney scanner"

Insane details:

- First, the scale. The device uses 8,960 individual transducers arranged in a ring around your body

- The precision is the most jaw-dropping part: it resolves motion at the picometer range. It can image internal tissues finer than the width of an atom. We are talking sub-atomic level diagnostic capability

- The compute requirement is massive. The system processes 17 gigabytes of data per second.

It takes 40GB of raw data to reconstruct just one cross-sectional slice. And they are planning to scan 100 slices?

- Midjourney claims that fewer than 12 of these machines could perform more full-body scans than every MRI machine on Earth combined.

Welcome to the future of healthcare!

Not only these scanners are announced, they will exist in a "Midjourney SPA" - with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and 9-10 whole body scanners.

gotta say, it’s actually remarkable how almost every single tech-right person on here got oneshotted by easily disprovable conspiracy theories on behalf of a grifter reality TV candidate in a city that consistently votes for democrats by 40+ point margins

Elon Musk has become the first person to cross the trillionaire threshold, at least on paper, after SpaceX priced its blockbuster initial public offering at $135 a share. https://t.co/rmlBdKhhyC
