Good news: I think this guy is overestimating the near-term potential of humanoid robots.
Bad news: Who exactly is “reskilling” us, to what (and at what pay level), when does that begin, and how do we feed our families in the meantime?
You and me both.

"No. They know why."
Palantir being nakedly fascist on main.
it would actually be cool if the Internet went back to being a bunch of different "places" with their own cultures and trends rather than being a few massive apps billionaires own
Behold, the Rantychrist will appear with his archangels: Plastic Army Man, Semi-Demigorgon, Old-Timey Bell Diver, Assorted Flying Polygons, and Snowy-Owl-Faced Eagle. He shall be clothed in business casual robes and raise Jeffrey Epstein from the dead.
But seriously, this is blasphemy.
My big dumb face in front of a section of Saturn V rocket that looks like the Death Star kind of if you squint.
Bonus: That’s no moon!
Shuttle Independence on top of the modified 747 that carried the shuttles back in the day, parked near the parking lot.
This one giant-ass vehicle took up all the parking spots close to the building. 3/3

Mannequin in a glass display case wearing NASA flight suit. Its face is a sock stretched over some face-shaped holes. Very creepy.
Don’t know about the moon, but the NASA tour in Houston, definitely haunted. 1/3
Was at NASA Houston today. So many tourists, so many excited second graders on field trips. Was in a restaurant eating catfish later when Integrity splashed down. Everyone cheered. It was nice to think about the government in a positive way for a bit.
Back to the daily WTF after this, ofc.
In this case, I think the
technical term is “den of thieves,” where everyone is twelve and everything is sports betting.
I don’t know what to do about that, because it’s also everyone’s retirement funds.
But the market is telling us SOMETHING, alright. 2/2
I’m just an unfrozen caveman. I don’t know how money works. Why are the men on the little metal disks always looking to the side?
BUT I DO KNOW THIS: A market where prices do not signal value in a given set of market conditions is not a functional market but something else. 1/2
I read this as “shitting in your hands” and I regret nothing.
Preach! If the system is no longer able to eject insane tyrants who flagrantly delight in war, murder, violence, and lawlessness, then what is its purpose? The intent of a system is what it does, and what this one is doing now opposes its own conception.
first time really tuning into a war? welcome. Let’s go over some rules of how to behave.
These are going to be especially important if it’s a war you oppose.
1. You are allowed an opinion. This is America. Whether you served or not. It’s done in your name so might as well speak up.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.
Just saw Project: Hail Mary and all I can say is:
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
Gonna epoxy one of these to the back of my toilet bowl.
My brain is so polluted with advertising that every time I hear “Day-o, It’s a da-a-y-o” my brain immediately fills in “Sunday only at the Bon Marche.”
Yeah, I’m sorry, anyone on either side of the aisle that doesn’t step up and end this madness through impeachment and removal is by definition not a good person.
Oh man, I’m flying into IAH next month, so I hope they have this madness sorted by then.
Screenshot of a tweet by @Merman_Melville. Text: “Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day”
This tweet continues to be entirely too accurate.
No no no you see I always buy my shoes the wrong size because having blisters and foot cramps is penis but wearing comfy shoes that fit is vagina everyone knows this. (Hilariously, everyone knew the exact opposite just a few years ago.)

Things are too stupid and awful to post about.
Meanwhile, I’m out here making art without generative AI. I just finished recording a song by, get this, recording it.
Someone needs to call them out when they say they aren’t aware. In a hearing a calm, “Your ignorance of your job is unacceptable. You owe the American people better than this.” And when it’s a reporter, shout a follow up. “Are you suffering from an illness that affects memory or cognition?”
“Supercharged” solar activity and the equinox effect, which “doubles the chance of auroral activity around the spring and fall equinoxes”, could make March 2026 the best month for the northern lights until the mid-2030s. [livescience.com]
