Another angle to this is that dogs effectively stumbled onto what is for them the equivalent of artificial superintelligence 20,000 years ago. The Singularity already happened for dogs. They live in a world they cannot understand, surrounded by miraculous wonders they take entirely for granted, their every need seen to by entities whose thoughts they cannot begin to fathom.
The result is that there are about a billion dogs on the planet now. Most of them are pretty happy. Almost none of them need to work. It worked out pretty well for them.

By far Trump’s biggest accomplishment…
After 4 straight years of record-breaking illegal immigration, we now have the fewest border crossings in 50+ years.
Stopped cold. It was done on purpose.

I’ll visit this village in 1 year to see if it still exists if this post gets 10k likes
MrBeast shows his BIGGEST charity project yet, spending over $10 MILLION to build an entire VILLAGE designed to help kids attend school instead of being forced into child labor 👀🔥
The village includes a SCHOOL, community center, library, medical center, farm, playground, sports fields and HOUSES FOR TEACHERS 🤯

Fantastic piece from @Chris_arnade on what tolerating anti-social behavior does to our public spaces:
"It’s a primary reason why we shy away from dense walkable spaces and instead move towards suburban sprawl.
People in the U.S. don’t respect, trust, or want to be around other random citizens, out of fear and disgust.
Japanese/European style urbanism—density, fantastic public transport, mixed-use zoning, that so many American tourists admire—can't happen here because there is a fine line between vibrant streets and squalid ones, and that line is public trust.
The U.S. is on the wrong side of it.
Simply put, nobody wants to be accosted by a stranger, no matter how infrequent, and until that risk is close to nil, people will continue edging towards isolated living.
It is why we “can’t have nice things” because we have to construct our infrastructure to be asshole-proof, and so we don’t build anything or build with a fortress mentality, stripping our public spaces down to the austere and utilitarian, emptying them of anything that can be vandalized."

Starting today, I'm going to give the world a first hand view of what it is like to own, operate and grow a small manufacturing business.
Beginning with this picture.
This is a picture of my not-so-glamorous shop in northern Illinois. It's also the reality of thousands of other small machine shops across the country.
Mostly older machines (newest 2019), less organized and dirtier than I aim for.
I've worked here since I was 13, ran it since I was 24 and owned it since I was 26. I’m 32 now.
I’ve been considered an old soul and have always kept it real, but what I am about to do scares me.
See, my Opa started this company in 1977 and he always wanted to break $1M in revenue. To celebrate him and the 50th anniversary of Center Tool Company I’m going to do it.
I will double our revenue AND do it publicly. We are on target for $500k in ’26 (pretty much been 500-800k since 1977, very unspectacular)
In ’27 we will break a MIL.
In the grand scheme of things that's pretty small, but it could be entertaining to ride along on the journey.
I’m going to show basically every aspect of what I know and how I do things. I will post about stuff and include actual screen shots, pictures, statements, and documents. Maybe some videos of day in the life or the joys of defense contracting...
I’ll break down the inner workings of not just turning raw metal into finished tooling or parts, but also working with customers, banks, lawyers, the government, family/business and family-business dynamics, personal/business finances, and raising a young family through this.
What do you want to know and/or what I am doing wrong? Comment or DM
America sits at the precipice of reindustrialization. We have a monumental opportunity in front of us. It’s time to burn the ships and go all in.
Bringing manufacturing back to our country could return a healthy middle class and economic boom across small town America - where I live.

BREAKING: President Trump officially changes the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.
"If you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean." 👀 🇺🇸

As with most historic range maps, the one for bison is fairly shocking. They should be stocking the forests of Pennsylvania and Virginia
In the DNA of bison, scientists find clues to the animals’ past—and keys to safeguarding their future.
