@GoSquirrels Crazy how your musical act yelled “F%#* Trump” in the microphone during the fireworks

[James Chalifoux @KungFoux]

@GoSquirrels “fuck trump” during the fireworks, eh?

[James Chalifoux @KungFoux]

@ClownWorld The problem isn’t the lack of gloves. Only necessary for ready to eat food. Handwashing suffices. The dangling hair tho 👀. Needs an apron so his clothes don’t touch the food. Needs to remove the bracelet. All health code violations

Shot for shot real-time remake of what happens when you (the plane engine) eat Taco Bell (the trespasser)

🚨#BREAKING: Watch the brand new full thermal surveillance footage showing the moment a Frontier Airlines jet struck a trespasser during takeoff at Denver International Airport, forcing the aircraft to immediately abort takeoff

The full footage captures the suspect breaching the active runway moments before being hit by the aircraft as emergency crews and law enforcement rushed to the scene.

@BioBite_ I’m sorry. Did she say give this a “jizzle” with that milk!?

I want my money back

If Abigail Spanberger and Virginia Democrats had paid attention my October 2025 AG’s Opinion that made clear this scheme was unconstitutional and illegal, they could have saved more than $70 million, countless headaches, and months of obnoxious television ads defending the indefensible.

Instead, they ignored the law, wasted taxpayer money on running a special election, and dragged Virginians through a completely avoidable mess.

When AI takes over you might wish you said please and thank you 😂

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Sam Altman said people saying “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT costs OpenAI tens of millions of dollars a year in compute. 67% of Americans do it anyway.

Run the math on why.

A 2024 Waseda University study tested LLM responses across politeness levels in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Impolite prompts produced measurably worse outputs: more bias, more errors, more refusals. Moderate politeness consistently beat both extremes.

The mechanism makes sense once you see it. Polite prompts pattern-match to higher-quality training data. When you write “Could you help me structure this analysis?”, the model pulls from professional, well-reasoned text. When you write “give me the answer,” it pulls from Reddit.

Google DeepMind’s Murray Shanahan explained it simply: the model is role-playing a smart intern. Treat the intern like a colleague, you get colleague-quality work. Bark orders, you get minimum-viable compliance.

Now look at the cost side. OpenAI handles over a billion queries daily. Each GPT-4 query uses roughly 2.9 watt-hours, ten times a Google search. But OpenAI just raised $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation. Tens of millions in politeness tokens is a rounding error on a rounding error.

67% of users do it anyway, and 55% of them say it’s because it’s “the right thing to do.” They’re maintaining a behavioral habit that governs every other interaction in their life. The parent who teaches their kid to say please to Alexa isn’t doing it for Alexa. They’re doing it because the alternative is raising someone who learns that being rude gets faster results.

Telling 900 million people to stop saying thank you so OpenAI can save 0.01% of operating costs is the most engineer-brained optimization take on the internet. You’re training yourself to treat every interaction as a transaction. And that habit doesn’t stay in the chat window.

@catturd2 That’s an assault slingshot!

This.. aside from beginning any argument from a place of dishonesty about the “protesters” peaceful nature

[Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain]

The most basic category error the left makes - repeatedly - on every police shooting is to characterize the shooting as an unjust "punishment" for the conduct of the person shot. They then argue that said person didn't "deserve" to be "executed," and so clearly the police officer is in the wrong.

That's not what it's about. It's NEVER what's it's about. Punishment is administered through the judicial system. The right of a law enforcement officer to use deadly force in self-defense or defense of others is about the rights of the officer, his colleagues, and nearby civilians as human beings whose lives have value, too. They have a right to respond to the imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm with deadly force. And in exercising that right, they are not judged from the perspective of an omniscient superhuman, with perfect knowledge of everything happening in that moment; they are held to the standard of the reasonable person perceiving what they can from that viewpoint.

In the words of William Munny, deserve's got nothing to do with it.

@Timcast @MattWalshBlog First you have to account for Walsh’s male, racial and socioeconomic privileges. The parrot is an immigrant so it needs to adjusted for equity. By these standards of justice the parrot is 185 and any other answer is pure hatred.

@SmathersSam @karlykingsley Also, you need an actual ID to become a student at a university so if you “can’t provide” the actual ID you’re being a moron 🤦🏻‍♂️

[James Chalifoux @KungFoux]

Odd that @CBS6 would describe a deadly police chase of a stolen vehicle as “Tesla crash” don’t you think, @elonmusk? Almost like they’re blaming you for these criminals’ deaths
