Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Trump has won this war 7 times.
He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times.
And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times.
What more do you want from him?
Only a dad can stay up until 2am, wake up at 6, be in debt, broke, alone, and still believe that one day everything will work out. That’s the strength of a dad.
Maybe the single most egregiously officiated game I’ve ever seen…
Made this little compilation from last nights Thunder/Spurs game of all the calls that went OKC’s way courtesy of @Rate_the_Refs.
I’m still baffled. Each one is worse than the previous. What is the @NBA doing?
NVIDIA QUIETLY DROPPED A $249 BOX THAT REPLACES YOUR $200/MONTH OPENAI SUBSCRIPTION WITH $2 IN ELECTRICITY
it's called the jetson orin nano super. smaller than a wallet, runs at 25 watts, does 70 trillion ai operations per second. runs llama 3, mistral, gemma and deepseek locally with no api fees and no data leaving your house
a developer running automations and coding assistants pays $200 a month to openai. the same workload on this box costs $2 a month in electricity and breaks even in 10 weeks
install ollama with one command. change one line in your code. point it at localhost instead of openai. everything else works identically
7 billion parameter models handle 80% of what people use chatgpt for. summarization, drafting, coding, document q&a, automation pipelines. total monthly cost drops from $200 to $22
cloud subscriptions keep getting more expensive and rate limits keep getting tighter. the people who set this up in 2025 are going to look very smart in 2027

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
RFK Jr. reveals FDA officials admitted they literally do not know how many chemicals are in the American food supply.
“When I came in, I asked FDA, ‘How many chemicals are in our food?’”
“They said, ‘We don’t know.’”
“‘We don’t have a list of them.’”
“It’s somewhere between 4,000 and 12,000.”
“In Europe, they only have 400 chemicals in their food.”
“The 9,600 extra ones that we have are all illegal there.”
Being helped by the refs. They are allowing OKC to push, grab and hold Wemby on ever play but SGA is allowed to push off on every play, and flop all over the court. It’s a joke and completely obvious. I’ve never seen a professional basketball fall down after almost every shot he takes.
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
“Under my administration, we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months."
“We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%.”
“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”
“We’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs.”
“A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper."
