@tim_cook @SadlyItsBradley Where is the new Apple TV 4K??b

[Steven Vales @StevenVales]

@StephenKing Got tickets to see it on the 14th!

[Steven Vales @StevenVales]

@SwiftOnSecurity Yup, sucks that you can't get that on the Bespoke or convertibles, but I'm up near Seattle so no need for a convertible lol.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Trump and Vance!

AOC: Elon Musk can do whatever he wants behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Two of the foundational things in American history are that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Oh, are you triggered? Cry more.

[Pinboard @Pinboard]

Remember, it's not technically a Nazi salute unless it originates in the Oberösterreich region of Austria. What Musk was performing was sparkling fascism

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

@komonews Yes

@SwiftOnSecurity Well I want to build the fiancé a gaming machine with my old 3080 fe, and I was thinking of popping that into my current 5950x build and using the 4090 in a new 9800x3d build. I don’t really need the fps but this is a good excuse to build a new rig.

[Steven Vales @StevenVales]

@PurisicNikola @SwiftOnSecurity That is great to know ty!

[Steven Vales @StevenVales]

@SwiftOnSecurity Yeah, I’m trying to decide if it’s time to upgrade the 5950x I have now before the tariffs fuck up prices. Only reason I would go with an x870 mobo is not to have to reflash the bios as I don’t have another AM5 chip.

@SwiftOnSecurity What is the cpu cooler?

[Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie]

Do it, America.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
