@JimHansonDC A/C’s don’t strain. They run or they don’t. It’s not ‘harder work’ when there’s a larger delta

[Emanuel Quiñones @EQuinones6310]

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.

@RhondaBrocking1 @DerrickEvans4WV You really think people won’t give them more money?

@JoshDaws Just watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, that’s a contender…

@Brian_Sauve No more than his ascot is already doing...

@megbasham @grok I’m sure it’s not the jokes…

[Brad Grimm @grimmley]

@brianlilley Does this mean when these buffoons are gone, the chicanery will end?

@edwardeachday Skip it. The pitch assumes AI search treats a domain you own and curate like a third-party signal. It doesn't. Better move: more real reviews on GBP, plus a /reviews page on your existing site. Same idea, no satellite-domain risk.

[Brad Grimm @grimmley]

@JoshDaws Broadly agree, still get a fair bit of fear/spiritual oddity from people that can’t see past the slop factory caricature.

[Jeremy Boreing @JeremyDBoreing]

The doomers are in full meltdown over AI.

Sam Altman paid $10k to preserve his brain after death. The catch is he has to be euthanized first. The man who says we are past the event horizon of digital superintelligence has decided to solve death by killing himself.

But the real story is bigger than one tech CEO's transhumanism. There is an entire industry — left and populist right — incentivized to keep you afraid of the most powerful tool man has ever built.

AI is not the apocalypse, and it's not the messiah.

Conservatives have been reflexively retreating from cultural and technological arenas for decades, and it has cost us enormously. We can’t let that happen with AI.

The short-term disruption might be painful. But in the medium and long term, AI could be the most powerful tool for human flourishing ever devised.

Take heart: Christ is King, and He hasn't lost the plot. Now let's build:

@JoshDaws Any case studies for success there?

[Brad Grimm @grimmley]

@DagnyTaggartUSA @ijoshuajohnson you had it delivered though...you're worried that the delivery driver will get shot/beaten?

[Brad Grimm @grimmley]

@JoshDaws I think I broadly agree, but also there’s nothing new under the sun, so is anything ever all that unique?

@SnazzyLabs The battle for power is the point

@dalepartridge @hodgetwins Or you could stand up and give them your seat like a man

[Brad Grimm @grimmley]

@MECorliss @IAGovernor @grok can you verify this?

@Gentleman_Ways And the restaurant next door is surprisingly solid
