I don't want flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive.

This is funny because Elon literally cut 4 billion dollars worth of cancer research funding through @DOGE. "You'd hate him if he did something good!" Well.... he's literally doing the exact opposite of that good thing so here we are.
If Elon created a cancer vaccine, people would complain about the size of the needle.

Call me a radical liberal, but I think kids' lives are more important than guns.

I really think if you work in tech you should consider telling your boss that you don’t think it’s a good idea to run around renaming products to court the favor of a lame duck president with a sub-40% approval rating.
The era of Super Intelligence is here. AIForce is officially SIForce.

I bought a standing desk from @UPLIFTDesk years ago, but never set it up. Began unboxing recently. Assembled the legs; easy. Unpacked the rubberwood desktop and... it's cracked! Ugh. Noo! From what I read, the warranty should cover it. 2026 has been one thing after another. 😩

I submitted a warranty request on their website last night. Here's hoping. 🤞

In case someone’s curious where I left off with my fork of the original Rails code I fixed some sloppy cache code that hits the DB on every cache hit (yes really) Pretty confident most of the issues are just app code and you could get it down even more.

This is a guy who shared emails with Jeff Epstein, the financier, about getting kids hooked on a digital economy through microtransactions. Great pick!!

Same.
I’ve never been so accurately stereotyped in my entire life. Completely oneshot.

Playing in a new D&D campaign tomorrow! Hyped! I've written quite a backstory for this character. I'm excited to get my role-play on.

It’s artificial intelligence, Sundar. And in the history of computing, this puerile attempt to rename it simply because of the simpleminded whims of an incompetent and corrupt narcissist will be seen as a failure of leadership, an abandonment of intellectual integrity, and an embarrassment for any who join with him.
Great to meet today with @POTUS, @JDVance, @SpeakerJohnson and Administration + tech leaders. Important conversation and we signed today the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. As I shared today, Google has invested hundreds of billions in the last two years alone, with more to come, across the entire stack, to deliver benefits for America and the world. We’re working to build products that deliver real value for people and businesses, invest in local communities, and build trust in the technology. Industry also has to innovate responsibly. Google’s focused on building the right way, with appropriate testing, evaluations, red-teaming, and other safeguards against misuse and misalignment – and releasing models or products only after they’ve been thoroughly reviewed. We are committed to working with other industry leaders to establish norms and build public confidence. The White House Accord and the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities signed today is a solid basis for moving forward - it contains real tangible steps to promote safe development, while delivering the economic and scientific benefits of this technology.
