I'LL SAY IT AGAIN:

IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL for landlords to increase rent unless they're upgrading the apartment

[Charles Truax @roleandtell]

@ClaudeDevs Oh great, government is already gaining the authority to shut down and ruin any AI agency that doesn’t do as it’s told.

You people realize how terrible that is right?

[Scotty Venable @scotty_venable]

When we rely on fear-mongering and parroting panic without understanding the underlying technology, we don't make the world safer. We just inhibit innovation and block potential breakthroughs that could be incredibly beneficial for humanity.

[Scotty Venable @scotty_venable]

Do we need AI regulations? Absolutely. We are already way behind on implementing them. But my unpopular opinion is that pushing for an all-out ban on AI is as shortsighted and damaging as horse breeders trying to ban cars or candle makers spreading panic over the electric light.

Hey @GordonRamsay, real talk, what do you think about my Glazed Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken with Garlic-Herb Roasted Broccoli and Fluffy Long-Grain Rice? 👀

"Donald Trump is doing AMAZING work for the American people to make America Great Again!!"

Absolutely in love with the new UI overhaul for @GeminiApp! @Google is really going at it! So excited for these upcoming features and announcements at Google I/O

What's one little thing you really appreciate that is very miniscule? Mine is the febreze cans that don't make a lot of noise when you spray them so others don't hear that you took a toxic dump and are masking the putrid stench that just left your body.

@TimJayas Anything with less usage limits 😅

@sama UI and UX design and implementation! Fully agentic :))

[Scotty Venable @scotty_venable]

When we prioritize "fiscal reality" only when it involves direct support to families, we aren't being objective... We are revealing that our "proven foundations" are designed to be rigid for the poor and flexible for the powerful.

@keystothesun @alexwtlf I've been using Opus for doing full scale coding. What do you think makes 5.5 above it with coding tasks? I'm trying to figure out the best agentic coder for my projects!

[Scotty Venable @scotty_venable]

Trying to balance all my AI subscriptions. GitHub CoPilot is for sure a keeper, but I recently got @claudeai and it changed the game.

With @OpenAI releasing GPT 5.5, is it worth trying it out and getting my Pro plan back? 👀 #AI #coding #Claude #ChatGPT

GOP - *gerrymanders*

DEMS - hey stop that no fair

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

[Scotty Venable @scotty_venable]

Damn... After using the core three AI image generators (Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT) I can say with clear confidence that @grok really takes the cake with its "Quality" setting... The direction following is fantastic and the speed is unmatched. Even the image to video is killer!

Trump is reportedly negotiating a deal which would stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon in exchange for $20 Billion in Iranian assets being unfrozen.

Note that The Iranian Nuclear agreement (JCPOA) that Obama signed, that Trump tore up, did the same thing. It halted their Uranium enrichment while turning over frozen assets.

In other words Trump Tore up the agreement, spent $55 Billion on a war, got hundreds of Americans injured, killed 150+ kids and exploded oil prices to try and negotiate the same basic deal that Obama did.

@RealRRothschild @NickJFuentes You hate the leaders, their decisions, and what they are turning it into- not the country itself. You stand up and speak out BECAUSE you love America and what it stands for. Hating on the people in charge doesn't mean you hate the country. You want better.

[Scotty Venable @scotty_venable]

@RealRRothschild @NickJFuentes You identified the beauty of it in that first paragraph: "the one that gave you free speech" which means he doesn't need to leave if he chooses to stay even if he "hates" how America is NOW. It's not about leaving when it's bad, it's staying because you know what is underneath.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

[Jack Hunter @jackhunter74]

Trump: I’m gonna wipe out an entire civilization.

Pope: That’s wrong.

Vance: The pope should stick to questions of morality.
