Republicans don't just admire different people from Democrats. They have lower opinions of almost everyone.

[Tesla @Tesla]

"My car also has FSD"

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Robert Marks on @Tesla FSD (Supervised) after buying a Model Y:

"Its self-driving is the most impressively engineered consumer product since the smartphone. I say this as a practicing electrical and computer engineering professor with decades of experience in algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Among others, I’ve showed off my Tesla to a control theory professor, a retired Marine fighter pilot, and a retired police officer. All were agog.

Whether Tesla ultimately dominates the future of transportation or merely helps ignite it, one thing is clear: the automobile is being reinvented before our eyes. For those like me who grew up thinking of cars as engines, gears, and gas tanks, stepping into a Tesla feels less like buying a new car and more like getting a glimpse of tomorrow."

today someone in office said that “worrying is the worst way to use your imagination” and that’s easily the best thing Ive heard all week

If you want people to believe in the public sector, the public sector simply *cannot* be this wildly profligate with taxpayers’ money.

[Lenore Skenazy @FreeRangeKids]

Friend won't let kids 10 & 12 walk 2 blocks in quiet suburb because "they could be taken."

This is almost like believing in witches.

Murder rate today is lower than 1960s, yet people are scared out of their minds. Treat tweens like 2-year-olds.

Sometimes I'm at my wit's end.

This @oasishealthapp seems to be unfairly hurting many good brands

[s. ceren (FEMMEPATH) @turk1shprincess]

This concept changed my brain chemistry entirely. Every time I’m anxious I just keep repeating “don’t suffer twice” cuz literally why the fuck would I do that

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

[James Murphy @jamestmurphy_]

@oasishealthapp has now deleted the posts and issued two redactions, saying “we’ll do better next time”

I had conversations with them over a year ago, assuming best intent when they started with this BS.

It’s only gotten worse since then.

This protein post got 3.5MM views before deletion.

The same day the founder and head of growth are pumping their fists posting record revenue and app download numbers.

The next day the correction comes.

The correction gets a few thousand views. Dozens of people saying “wft, I threw that brand in the trash”

You don’t get an out, again.

You don’t get to defame brands for years now, collect millions of dollars in revenue, and say “my bad” when no one hears it.

Receipts. Photos in order:
- Protein defamation post. 3.5MM views (twitter alone).
- Founder posting “record day.”
- Correction post. 7K views.

These guys like dramatic statistics. Oasis has a 500x fold ratio in false allegations to honest reporting. (3.5M views vs 7K)

Thats 10,000x higher than the safety level set by any reasonable person for honest and credible work.

For every one person that sees the redaction, 500 people are throwing the product in the trash and telling their friends about it too.

Oasis, you better start spending every dollar of that defamation-made money on promoting these redaction posts.

[James Murphy @jamestmurphy_]

This post has 3.5MM views (and counting) and is totally bogus.

The author doesn’t know how to read a test result.

His cited results (in app behind paywall) show premier protein UNDER the prop 65 limit for lead. All of them in fact meet the safety standard.

He doesn’t know the difference between ppb in a powder, which is the amount of lead in a KILOGRAM of material, vs dose per serving - which is what all safety levels are set at.

There’s also blatant typos in carrying over the test result (has mixed up premier and ritual readings, from the wrong part of the test).

You’re fine eating your protein shakes.

Watch what you fall for on the internet. This stuff is driving up anxiety for no reason.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans...

The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

Conclusion:

Eat and drink what you like.

Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

[Spencer @KalanisCalves]

This is what our society fails to comprehend.

If I work as a physical therapist, and I’m good, I’ll make $100,000/yr. And pay $15,000 in taxes. I can see 60 patients per week. But that’s the end of it. No additional tax money, no more patients can get my services. I provide a living for myself and my family.

If I own a practice and employee 10 therapists that each make $100,000, now I’m providing a living for 10 families, and because of my efforts there is now $250,000 in tax revenue.

So why should businesses get taxed more? Why should they even have to pay payroll taxes? My value to society is way more than 10X at this point.

But the vast majority of Americans can’t comprehend that, neither do our congressional representatives.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

The Jewish population still hasn’t recovered to its pre-Holocaust level.

That’s what an actual genocide looks like.

Can you spot the real genocide and the fake one?

[TFTC @TFTC21]

Someone placed an $800 million bet that oil prices would drop, then 15 minutes later the president made an announcement that sent oil down 10%.

60 Minutes is claiming that insider trading is occurring on a massive scale around US military operations, using both traditional oil markets and prediction markets like Polymarket.

Their reporting cites financial data from LSEG showing that on March 23, more than $800 million was staked on oil prices dropping at 6:50 a.m. ET. Fifteen minutes later, Trump announced a postponement of strikes against Iranian infrastructure. It has not been determined if the trade was made with inside information or if the trader was in the US.

They also cite analytics firm Bubblemaps, which claims to have identified nine connected Polymarket accounts that made over $2.4 million betting on US military actions with a 98% win rate across 80+ bets. The accounts allegedly predicted specific dates for the first US strikes on Iran, the removal of Iran's supreme leader, and the ceasefire announcement.

The segment ties this to the recent indictment of a US Army soldier who allegedly used classified information to win Polymarket bets on the Venezuela raid, netting over $400,000 from roughly $34,000 in wagers.

The CFTC is reportedly investigating the oil trades.
