@fortelabs Ronaldo (Portugal) benefitted from the same Art. 27 decision to start the World Cup. Worldwide, everyone has agreed it was a poor red card at best. FIFA should’ve made the decision faster to not disadvantage Belgium.

What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.

Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.

No sensible person would claim that our country is without flaws, but the relentlessly negative picture painted by Mayor Mamdani is just absurd.

And it is the fruit of the Marxism that, sadly, is all the rage today.

It seems like Illinois thought the Bears were always bluffing.

They squandered many opportunities to keep them.

Now Indiana will have two stadiums that can host the Super Bowl and Final Fours.

Statement from Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren:

@ThePrimeagen If you do the work on a flight flying West, you can get the work done even faster.

Start a company on the runway at JFK and be ready for IPO one AI-year later when you land at SFO.

Trust me, the math checks out

@jasonfried @kcheungio @davidsenra Brains and fortitude are both necessary for right action.

@jasonfried @kcheungio @davidsenra Takes some courage to not follow the canonical hook intro form

Platform view optimizers probably hate it.

They’d also probably claim the thumbnail needs a “David Blaine turned my orange soda into Cheez-Its” reaction face

@ChrisWillx Timeless truths.

So often, we seek “data” and only trust double blind randomized control trials as valid proof.

Wisdom of the ages is sufficient data and right reason leads to truth.

Catholics, for example, have been protecting and promoting monogamy for millennia.

@dhh Anything from Fizzy informing Hey development? I assume (hope!) keyboard accessibility and CLI are also soon making their way to Hey

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

@homegymcoop The Milwaukee Packout stack getting snubbed as a feature…no doubt essential to the buildout

I love that there’s a German word that can put it succinctly.

It’s also quite funny that a 10-consonant word feels “succinct” 😂

@Jason @ROLEX You should reach out to Eric at Wind Vintage - https://t.co/7KbygxQlMl

Warning though, you’ll soon be looking at getting more than just your first watch

Reverse discrimination does not undo historical injustices but rather perpetrates new ones against a different set of individuals. This foments social strife and undermines the ideal of America as a meritocracy. AI models should not be taught that this practice is justified.

Sounds like this could make a “GGR Approved” list a possibility, @homegymcoop

Could be the hottest new label since Gluten free

IT WORKS!!

I can now successfully find gyms with a REAL gym with barbells, plates, and power racks 🏋️‍♀️

No shitty hotel gyms with just a treadmill and 10kg dumbbells anymore

All thanks to AI vision models 😍

[Mitchell Heaton @heatonmitch_]

There’s a real risk, to which I think many are falling victim, of offloading everything. Reason, opinions, and all cognition.

Links and polish is a fair, prudent line (i.e. anything that’s “administrative”).

I worry many aren’t just damaging their credibility (to your original point) but also losing an ability to think for themselves on the whole.

Social media is just one of the first places it’s manifesting.

AI posts/work that ought to be your own:
(1) damage reputation [your original point]
(2) damage others [wasted time, consideration, etc.]
(3) damage self [manifesting as (1) but also progressive cognitive degradation]

@dhh Memento mori today and quoting Paul from Philippians yesterday. I love that you’re helping highlight how a Christian view of man and purpose has answers for AI existentialism, @dhh

Great timing too, whether a Lenten practice or not.

Peterson's concept of The Meaningful Burden helped me see why open source is such a rewarding work. Even as we grimace from the load and the ungrateful. Don't wish for the responsibility to be lighter, strive to become stronger. https://t.co/T41a8dwz3o
