We’re not laughing despite aging being cruel. We’re laughing bc we’re going to have a week long celebration when this man dies.
I know aging is cruel and comes for us all. I know there is no shame in getting older. But I cannot stop laughing at the sound he makes in this clip and his subsequent shocked reaction
I get that people like to still call it twitter for nostalgia. I feel like that is whitewashing the fact that it now is owned by a Nazi.
Current state of election twitter: Dems: We have a lead in NC that is growing daily. Good sign for us! GOP: Yes but we are slowing the rate at which your lead is expanding in NC. Good sign for us!
Stop giving money to build new highways. We built all we needed to.
The federal Highway Trust Fund, which funds road & transit, faces a >$318 billion shortfall by 2036. How can Congress address this? —Cut spending by 40% —Increase the gas tax —Implement new taxes (VMT, registration) —Transfer from the general fund We lay it out: taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/congr...
I have seen zero ads for street fighter and I didn’t even know it is a movie out now?? I saw You Can See Everything on Friday. What a trip!
‘You Can See Everything’ beat ‘Melania’ to become the highest-opening non-musical documentary in 10 years. It came in at number 2 at the box office, behind ‘Street Fighter’ but well above ‘Whalefall.’
It’s way less real than fully self driving cars which we have been promised every year for 10 years. It’s a scam. It’s made to draw you in. IT’S A SCAM!! It always is with Elon’s “inventions”.
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist
Ij my observation, It’s not about technology replacing jobs in general, it’s about robots and AI invading our physical world. You can call it a vibes thing if you want.
“I don’t want AI to replace artists and writers” is a humanist sentiment but “I don’t want robots to replace delivery drivers” just comes across as regressive to me.

A driver caused a massacre in the Bronx today. Ran through a crosswalk and a red light and struck a bunch of people and five cars. What will the city council’s 17 e-bike bills do to address this?
I believe that the umbrella is one of the most elegant and usefull inventions of all time. A lightweight portable roof! How convenient!
Umbrella use is an indicator sign of a healthy city. People used to actively moving about their urban spaces know that simple tools mitigate weather concerns. Alternatively, this is why you see North Americans getting soaked in the rain. They know nothing beyond car to door, door to car transit.
I am in the program and made $160 this summer from using the batteries
Very cool. A program in NYC gave 2 kWh batteries to families in order to let them run the AC during peak demand and charging the battery at night when energy is cheap. I predict a time when it will be weird that houses didn't have batteries. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...
I visited Seattle for exatcly one afternoon and evening a couple weeks ago and I already love the light rail. It’s so nice and smooth and clean and quiet!
Sound Transit planned a "small" celebration today for Pinehurst but once again underestimated how much people in Seattle LOVE TRANSIT. This place is packed.

It still holds true that when someone posts a screenshot gotcha without a link to the full story, they are intentionally hiding or misleading their readers. And I agree with Max on most things tbh.
Guy who has never been to New York City or the San Francisco Bay Area: rich people would NEVER move into modest homes built for the middle class.
The entire thing comes down to housing prices. That’s it.
I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel
