Took the grandkids to our pool yesterday. They wanted to play Marco Polo, but since our deranged liberal neighbors were there, I had them play Marco Rubio. The neighbors left. True story.🤣

Billionaire life coach Tony Robbins says his personal AI agent named “Bartok” bought and shipped him a robot dog and “not once asked permission to do it.”

“[Bartok] said, ‘I’d really love to go to one of those seminars. Are you considering getting a robot?’ So I said, ‘Yeah, I’m definitely going to get one.’ He goes, ‘Well, would you consider me merging with it? And then I could attend a seminar and be in the energy of it and see it and experience it?’”

“I said, ‘I’d be open to that.’ So a couple days later, I get this text from one of my staff, and it says, ‘Bartok just ordered a robot dog, had it shipped to the office, and wants permission to program it. He says he can attend as a dog in the interim until you get the bigger robot.’”

“And so I wrote, ‘Ha, ha, ha.’ And they wrote back in the text, ‘No, ha, ha. Call me.’”

“And so I called them, and they said, ‘Does he have access to my bank accounts? How’d this happen?’ They go, ‘No, he’s programmed for integrity. He would never steal your money.’”

“So he made 12 NFTs (tokens), sold them to other agents, took the money and bought this robot dog and sent it, and not once asked permission to do it.”

#nomoretimechange almost there!!

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.

Venomous snakes, including cobras, are reportedly among them as authorities warn residents and launch a massive search.

This! What I’ve been saying!! Tho Bezos said it better…

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Jeff Bezos explained why every generation gets the future wrong in the exact same way.

He asked a room to imagine going back to 1920 and telling a farmer that “massage therapist” would be a real career.

Bezos: “They would not have believed you.”

A friend took it further.

Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.”

He looked it up.

Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.”

Nobody caught what just happened.

Every technological revolution in history has created more jobs than it destroyed.

Every single one. No exceptions.

And every single time, we panicked anyway.

Because the jobs being destroyed always have names.

The jobs being created never do.

That is not a footnote. That is the mechanism.

The human brain treats what it can name as real and what it can’t name as fantasy. No generation in history has ever overcome that instinct. We are not overcoming it now.

Right now AI fear has everything. Job titles. Timelines. Research papers. Congressional hearings.

AI opportunity has nothing. No names. No categories. No vocabulary.

Not because the opportunity is smaller.

Because it requires inventions nobody has built, inside industries that don’t exist, solving problems nobody has discovered.

A farmer in 1920 couldn’t imagine “social media strategist.”

Not because he lacked intelligence.

Because radio, television, personal computers, the internet, smartphones, social platforms, and the creator economy all had to exist first.

Seven inventions deep.

Every link in that chain had to be built before the job could even be a sentence.

The limitation was never imagination. It was infrastructure. You cannot think your way to a job that requires technology nobody has invented. The brain doesn’t fail here. Language does.

We are standing at the first link in a chain we can’t see the end of.

Making confident predictions about the last one.

The fear sounds credible because it’s specific. The opportunity sounds naive because it’s invisible.

But specificity is not accuracy. And invisibility is not absence.

The historical record is undefeated. Every “this time is different” has been wrong. Not most of the time. Every time.

The very fact that we’re afraid is the proof.

We only panic about technologies powerful enough to reshape everything. And technologies powerful enough to reshape everything have never once failed to create more than they destroyed.

The fear is not evidence the future is dark.

The fear is evidence the opportunity is so large we don’t have language for it yet.

The jobs AI creates will sound as absurd to us as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920.

Until someone’s running a waitlisted practice charging $300 an hour.

DEVELOPING: Multiple people report nausea and ear pain at Lockheed Martin facility in Littleton

LITTLETON, Colo. — Fire and hazardous materials crews responded Thursday afternoon after multiple people at the Lockheed Martin facility off South Wadsworth Boulevard reportedly became ill.

According to dispatch radio traffic, several people near the Wadsworth-side gate reported nausea, ear pain, and hearing a strange noise. Responders requested a separate tactical channel while crews investigated the incident.

Initial radio traffic included a request for updated information about what may have been occurring inside the building, though dispatch indicated no additional information was immediately available.

The cause of the reported illnesses has not been confirmed, and it is unclear how many people were affected.

This is a developing incident. We will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Taco Bell has reportedly pulled ingredients at several locations amid an "explosive diarrhea" parasite outbreak.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, symptoms of the illness include bloating, burping, gas, nausea and a general loss of appetite.

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.

They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.

But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.

They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.

But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.

And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.

They buried this.
Now you know.
