Well I know what I’ll be doing with all my free time

[University of Austin (UATX) @uaustinorg]

People keep telling us they wish they could audit a UATX class.

We heard you. Every lecture of the Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome with UATX Professor Isabella Reinhardt is now free, filmed live in the classroom.

Pull up a chair, and watch the full series: https://t.co/iwb02yUuTB

@Montebello @openclaw @bot @Tesla Yes. And you just get in and go. No learning curve.

Patient: I took a bunch of poison.

Government Dr.: No prob. Here’s some more poison to counteract it.

Philadelphia is preparing to become the first city in the nation to offer this mortgage model, with lower interest rates, no private mortgage insurance, and credit scores as low as 620.

@tomzehentner Grok is weirdly segregated in my Tesla too. It can do some thing but couldn’t understand when I asked it to set the temperature lower

Currently asking my agent to create a Paw Patrol and Gangs of New York crossover so the whole family gets to watch what they want

I asked my Claude instance what it looks like and this is what it showed me

Nobody should be forced to pay into Social Security, but Boomers complaining about getting their fair share is ridiculous.

Where the hell do you think the money went, Edith?

It funded the last 40+ years of government bailouts and subsidies your generation received.

[John Rea @johnrea]

True, I am not a doctor, but I would assert the following:

1. She drove herself to the store
2. Had a child in her care
3. Selected all of her own groceries
4. Articulated in great detail how put out she was about having to pay for them (ie strong command of the English language - including choice expletives)
5. Had no physical impediments that precluded her doing the reverse of stocking shelves (the cart was overflowing)

Given those visible truths, there is almost certainly some job she is fit for. If the word disability means anything with respect to getting benefits, it has to have common sense boundaries put upon it - especially so we can make sure the people who need it get it most!

Inject this into my veins

[Caitlin @CaitlinYorkSC]

It’s not about the zoo tickets, it’s that at some point I looked up from my paycheck and realized OH, cool, I’m apparently funding the welfare state, Big Pharma, foreign countries, “Learing Centers,” government programs I’ve never heard of, Planned Fucking Parenthood, and seventeen layers of bureaucracy whose primary function appears to be emailing each other PDFs; meanwhile, I pay taxes when I earn money, taxes when I spend money, taxes to employ people, taxes on property I ALREADY OWN, taxes go up every year anyway, the school district discovers another $75,000,000 it absolutely cannot survive without, and if I so much as raise my hand and ask whether maybe, possibly, perhaps somebody could spend slightly less money, I am informed that I hate teachers, children, puppies and probably literacy, and NOW after financing civilization itself I’m also supposed to smile and subsidize someone’s trip to see the giraffes.

Know what I mean?

Being a dad is just telling yourself “it’s been an expensive month, we’ll get back on track next month” over and over again until you die

This guy’s getting cooked for being out of touch, and people are acting like it’s an indictment of him instead of a sickened culture around dating.

I did most of these things for my now wife (together for 15 years), minus the yoga, and it ended up being a great filter.

[Chris Hatch @Dirtdog]

Attention Young Men:

I am surrounded by 20 year old girls in my life that are smart, capable, hard working and cute. Nobody is dating them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don’t get it.

Step 1: Stop playing video games

Step 2: Head to great clips and get that lettuce cleaned up

Step 3: Hit a shower (when dating hygiene is critical)

Step 4: Go clean your car

Step 5: Sign up for a yoga class

Step 6: Go to the yoga class

Step 7: Ask a cute for her phone number at yoga class (yes you can meet girls IRL and not just on the apps - 10/10 the Dirt Dog highly recommends)

Step 8: Follow up within 2 days with a phone call and ask them out for this coming weekend Friday or Saturday night.

Step 9: IMPORTANT - come up with a good game plane for date night. Get a dinner reservation, get an activity planned. Let them know in advance what you are doing so they can dress appropriately. I know you are gunna roll off the couch and head to date night, but they are not. They are going to stress about what to wear and call at least 6 different people on FaceTime to ask their opinion.

Step 10: I highly recommend you bring flowers to the door step. I’m not covering that you go to the doorstep, because if you don’t do that you have no hope here. Women want men to date them. You don’t need to break the bank on flowers. Head to Trader Joe’s. Grab 2 different kinds of flowers. If you don’t know what matches find the closest looking lady to your mom at TJ’s and ask her. Wrap the 2 flowers into 1 bouquet with paper. Bonus Points you can cut open a TJ bag and use that as the paper.

Step 11: Be a gentleman on the date. She isn’t there to hear your life story. Ask her about her. For every 1 question you answer, ask her 3. Open Doors, pay for the meal, be polite.

Provided you follow most of this guideline you are highly likely to get yourself an opportunity for date number 2.

Keep going until you find someone that you can’t imagine not being around all the time. That’s when you have found a good one for you.

My life is complete with my wife as my companion. I wish you the same fortune in life. Happy Hunting.

There's a new street drug on the market called "allergies".

All of the brain damage and none of the fun. 0/10 would recommend.

[John Rea @johnrea]

In the coming years, it will become even more apparent that it was always most important that we were American nationals first and citizens second.

Our current lack of shared identity reduces us to a collection of tribes bound together only by a state function, which is insufficient to create the dynamism synonymous with the USA for over a century.

The gods have finally showered me with their graces 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and those files also open inside Claude.

In Google Workspace, Claude sits in a sidebar next to your file, reads what you have open, and edits it in place. You can approve each edit before it lands.

[John Rea @johnrea]

@Montebello Yes. I talk to Claude as I would a Jr Analyst. Which is to say, I turn on Wisprflow and berate it until it gives me the desired quality of output. Then I let it work only a half day on Sundays as a token of my approval.

[John Rea @johnrea]

My son got this book as a birthday present and I threw it away halfway through reading it the first time. Horrible message.
