@siestamark @Daractenus ...when he realized that AI and vision only would need far fewer components and was cheaper to build.

@Marieaaow @Daractenus that video is not 11 years old. if you watch the whole thing you will see the year number onscreen increase.

@Kristof_Poland laptop batteries didn't last ten hours until Apple went ARM with the M1 in 2020. Tesla launched its roadster earlier, in 2008. Thus, laptop batteries did not inspire Musk.

Your AI-assisted argument is bogus.

@sabhlok @OzKitsch safari suits with shorts are still a thing in South Africa. add knee-high socks, one with a comb tucked into it. Brylcreem in your pocket.

@SamaHoole nice argument, but the United States is the experiment group here. Europe, banning each experiment, is the control.

@AllForProgress_ your article starts by praising W for testing out the night phrase, then ends by denigrating the next generation for testing out sentences for how they will be read.

seriously?

🔥 Bloody hell. This isn’t a leader column, it is a P45 for Nigel Farage.

Nigel Farage is now described as a “vehicle for chaos” whose behaviour is damaging Reform and whose standing “will continue to falter”.

And the killer passage: Farage claims to be an insurgent asking voters to believe he’ll sweep away a self-serving political class, but cannot credibly make that case while treating disclosure rules and scrutiny as an intolerable intrusion.

The media spent years coveting Farage. Now the worm has turned. 🎥

You don't need a gym.

You need Dumbbells and a system.

I'm a professional athlete. I've built and maintained elite strength with nothing but dumbbells more times than I can count.

Here's 48 exercises, every muscle group covered:

Crystal clear article on causes of inflation & alienation; neoliberal privatisation policies since 1980’s.
Driven by short-term sugar hits for incumbent Govts since Keating, @ both state fed levels, dismal Treasury insistence, & RW press.

The main draw of business class isn't the comfort, it's the exclusivity.

Once it becomes normal, you quickly realize it's still just an uncomfortable seat that turns into an even more uncomfortable bed.

My kids don't care much if we fly economy or business.

Personally, I'm fine with Premium Economy for long haul (8-10 hrs) if there isn't a good deal on business.

And domestic, I rarely upgrade anymore.

Once the exclusivity fades, you realize it's mostly bullshit.

My July 5th Diatribe after Returning from Europe again:

The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.

You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.

And then you come home.

You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.

And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.

I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.

I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.

Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.

Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.

America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.

So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.

Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.

Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t, and blaming minorities and immigrants for your own piece of shit life that you created.
