"The lifestyle in Meta’s latest glasses ad portrays an unattainably wealthy and kind of bored existence where Kylie never sees another person who isn’t on her payroll. These Meta glasses are anti-social from the jump. If all we have is this ad to judge the product, they’re not about capturing memories with your friends at the bar or a party. They’re about packaging one’s life and then viewing it as an out-of-body experience, like you’re already dead." 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 Great take from @samleecole

JUST FUCKING TAX THEM. THAT IS HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS.

Sam "Traitor to all Queers" Altman, wants this because 1) it costs him far less; 2) it almost guarantees a bailout when OpenAI inevitably implodes.

In the late Middle Ages the area of Ireland under the direct control of the English Crown was known as the “Pale”. This was where English laws and culture were dominant, and was in chunks of area around Dublin, Kildare, Meath, and Louth.

If you were outside of this area you were “Beyond the Pale”. You might have heard or used this term, without knowing the reason.

Here endeth today’s lesson.

5/ I’ve noticed lately that the Thiel-backed Polymarket has been hyping JD Vance who just happens to be Thiel’s protege.

Stanford scientists just solved one of the biggest problems with human aging.

They found a way to regrow joint cartilage.

They blocked an aging-linked protein called 15-PGDH, and the results were massive. Old, worn cartilage began to grow back in older mice. Human cartilage samples also showed signs of new cartilage growth.

This is a massive milestone for human longevity. Actual biological repair. Proof that the body can fix its own parts.

An oral version of a 15-PGDH blocker is already in human clinical trials for muscle weakness. If this same pathway works in patients with arthritis, joint damage will be repairable before surgery becomes the only option.

Medicine is now helping the body repair itself.

We're watching one of the biggest medical shifts of our lifetime.

Cory Booker exposes himself yet again as an evil human being when he says there’s no ‘greater moral vandalism’ than "abandoning" Israel. The true moral vandalism is to support Israel, of course.

Peanut Heist

I sat and watched this red bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) fly back and forth between a bird feeder hanging from my fence and an oak tree in my backyard. While at the bird feeder, he would dig through the bird seed until he found a peanut then fly away. I tried several times to catch him in the act of flying away, most only caught part of him in the frame. This is one of two in which I had him all in the frame
making off with a peanut.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

There are only two types of people who talk seriously about data centers in space:

People who don’t know what they are talking about.

People who think you are stupid.

@RickiTarr

Some MAGA guy on CNBC today was talking up the “National State Fair” saying it should bring people together.
Together?
Maybe stop telling people they don’t belong here.
Maybe stop calling everyone that thinks government should help the weak a communist.
Maybe realize everyone in America is the descendant of immigrants or are immigrants, unless you are a Native American.

“The Twin Cities rapid response network formed as a counterintelligence operation to stop Trump’s Gestapo. Daily stations at ICE headquarters recorded vehicle plates, descriptions, and convoy deployments, compiling this information into a public database of thousands of vehicles, marked "confirmed-ICE," "highly suspected," and "not-ICE." This information wasn't gathered for the abstract goal of raising awareness or documenting atrocities; surveillance data was adversarial insofar as it was operational. Rather than wait on standby, patrollers used this intel to track down agents and confront them directly. By doing so, the RRN became the most militant, as well as most popular way, to participate.”
