Retweet certainly does not mean endorsement. This is a list of X tweets I find interesting. They may be interesting precisely because they are infohazards.

@DailyMail How about closing the transit route to DRC and Uganda till the Annual Outbreak subsides like it does every year.

I can't believe they let Totally Spies air on TV over here. Perverse Frenchman drawing teenage girls in fetish scenarios for ~200 episodes. I was going to say "you couldn't get away with that today" but apparently you can because it got renewed recently

Assimilation, to the extent that it worked, was forced on immigrants.

Companies like Ford had an "Americanization Program" and offered a high wage of $5 a day but workers had to undergo surprise inspections at their homes by Ford’s "Sociological Department."

Inspectors would show up unannounced at workers' homes to ensure they were speaking English, eating "American" food, and maintaining middle-class American hygiene.

If they continued to keep their old cultural habits, they were eventually fired.

I don't know anybody that plays in a softball league. No poker nights. I only know a few people that kinda play an instrument. Nobody bowls. Nobody can sew. Few can cook. Nobody golfs. Nobody tinkering with cars. I know 100 people who'll be on their phone for next 4 hours

Thought my cats were acting a little weird this morning and they apparently put a catnip toy in their water bowl overnight to soak. They made catnip tea.
They're high

I think San Francisco Effective Altruists have achieved greater power levels than any other ideological or religious group because they straightforwardly believe more strongly in eternal life (anti-aging tech) and a punishing God (artificial superintelligence) than anyone else.

In 2014, while filming a movie, Jackie Chan discovered that a group of Mongolian locals knew every word to 'Rolling in the Deep' by heart... even though they didn’t speak English.
The beautiful moment was never part of the script.

remember that House of Cards plotline where Underwood orchestrated a trainwreck alcoholic/drug addict to run for Senate in Pennsylvania, knowing that he would eventually fall apart and drop out, so the sitting VP would resign to run to replace him, so Spacey would become VP?

If you’ve ever read 120 Days of Sodom you’ll know that most of it is a painfully boring and dry catalogue of acts that sound insane on paper. I feel like the internet has just become that. Infinite cataloguing of forms of desire but in the end they all fit on a balance sheet

Wow, the S&P Dow Jones Indices has just officially announced that they will NOT be changing their inclusion rules to make it easier for “MegaCap” companies (such as @SpaceX) to be fast-tracked into the S&P 500.

Their reasoning:
"S&P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market.

No changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, or S&P SmallCap 600 as a result of the S&P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family."

This means that the earliest @SpaceX could be eligible to be added to the S&P 500 would now be June 2027.

The requirements that will now remain in place are:
• No changes to S&P 500 eligibility rules for mega-cap companies.
• Mega-cap companies will still need to wait 12 months after their IPO before being considered for S&P 500 inclusion.
• S&P will not waive profitability requirements for mega-cap companies. The company must have positive GAAP net income in the most recent quarter, and the sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters.
• S&P will not waive minimum public float requirements for mega-cap companies. At least 10% of a company's shares must be publicly tradable ("free float").

The S&P rejected proposals that would have:
• Reduced the IPO seasoning period from 12 months to 6 months
• Waived profitability requirements
• Waived minimum public float requirements
