THREAD-In fiscal year 2019, the Postal Service delivered 143 billion pieces of mail. Operating 6 days per week, that is 312 days per year, or an average of 458 million pieces per day. In the 2016 Presidential election, here were about 130 million votes. /1

Someone told me afD is an attempt to bring back the STASI, is that really true? Is there an element of that in the party? Or is it mostly disappointed East Germany areas that are still economically behind?

Hey @Lowes Nice bait and switch you’re running here on Xitter. I’ve seen this ad at $99 many many times, but once I click through it’s actually $219. Many many times. Clean up your act.

Today I got gas @Costco for the first time. Had to wait in line only 5 minutes at 200 in the afternoon. Saved 20 cents per gallon, 14 gallons, so $2.80. $33.60 per hour, that’s worth it to me

I saw him called Howhard Nutlick and well, it fits
When Lutnick appeared with Chung two days after 9/11, I took everything he said at face value. We were all so traumatized, and he seemed so sincere. But now? After watching him lie so effortlessly for a solid year and a half on behalf of a treasonous Nazi rapist who is clearly evil and working for our adversaries? A billionaire buddy of both Trump and Epstein who shamelessly lied about bringing not only his children, but his friends’ children, to a notorious child-sex-trafficking pedophile’s rape island? You’ll excuse me, but I now doubt every word that’s ever come out of Howard Lutnick’s mouth—whether last week on Squawk Box or 25 years ago on Connie Chung. For all we know, that 2001 interview was the pièce de résistance of a world champion deceiver. That’s how far my faith in him has fallen. I no longer give Lutnick the benefit of the doubt about anything. True, you’d have to be a serial-killer-level psychopath to lie, under those circumstances, and on national TV, about that. But knowing what we know now—I mean, are we sure he’s not? In the wake of 9/11, the much-despised Rudy Giuliani became America’s Mayor. He dined on that for years, noun-verb-and-9/11’ing his way to fame and fortune. Heck, the Queen of England even made him an honorary knight! But that persona was always bogus. As it turns out, Giuliani was a piece of shit before, during, and after the attacks—and, however reassuring his presence felt to us New Yorkers on September 11th, mayoral decisions he made regarding the location of the city’s Office of Emergency Management command center (he inexplicably overrode everyone else and insisted it be at the WTC) and the walkie-talkies used by the NYFD (the Motorola ones he chose after what amount to a no-bid contract didn’t work properly in the buildings on 9/11) wound up contributing significantly to the ultimate 9/11 death toll. By brazenly and alacritously carrying water for Donald Trump—and, by extension, the Kremlin—Rudy Giuliani squandered the ample goodwill he accumulated in 2001. America’s Mayor was exposed as a fraud: a pathetic drunk; a credibly accused rapist, whose scummy sexual predation was on full display in the Borat sequel; a sad loser addressing a media scrum outside of Four Seasons Total Landscaping, as cheap hair dye oozed onto his sweaty forehead. That Rudy was the real Rudy. I suspect that the Howard Lutnick we’ve seen for the last 18 months—the Howard Lutnick who keeps Donald Trump company on the daily, the Howard Lutnick who stands behind him grinning during the idiotic Oval Office pressers, the Howard Lutnick who went with him to the Knicks game, the Howard Lutnick who appears on TV and winsomely gaslights the country about Trump’s shit economic policies, the Howard Lutnick who brought his wife and kids to Epstein’s rape island and lied about it, the Howard Lutnick who removed Cantor Fitzgerald’s missing-but-not-yet-confirmed-dead employees from the payroll four days after the towers fell, the Howard Lutnick who exploited a national tragedy to line his own bloated pockets—is the real Howard Lutnick. That he, like his fellow 9/11 hero Giuliani, has always been a piece of shit. That the tears he cried in that 2001 interview were of the crocodile variety. A quarter century after 9/11, I mourn all those who lost their lives in the attacks, including Gary Lutnick and the 657 other Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died that horrible day. But I do not weep for Howard Lutnick. Not this time. Once was quite enough for that guy. Lutnick only survived the fall of the towers by dumb luck—by divine intervention, one might argue. And how has he elected to spend the years he was miraculously gifted? By dutifully serving Donald Trump—an unequivocal monster, serial sexual predator, and abominable traitor who has done more harm to the United States than even Osama Bin Laden. For shame. #TearJerk gregolear.substack.com/p/tea…

“we won’t be able to detect when agents go rogue” if we close our eyes and put our fingers in our ears and go “la la la I can’t hear you”
“In future incidents, AI will be so smart we won’t be able to detect when agents go rogue” - person who has never worked on detection before

“…those with nothing will have even more nothing.”
S&P 500 returns over the last four years: 2023: +26.79% 2024: +25.73% 2025: +18.14% 2026: +12.44% (YTD) This is like the beginning stages of hyper inflation isn’t it? We have no choice but to print more and more money to service the debt. Those who are already rich will get richer and those with nothing will have even more nothing.

So I paused the tv when my wife got home so we could chat about her day and the tv goes to a screensaver. Which is a series of snowflakes. Some of which are 7-sided. Some have 8 sides. Is this #roku slop? They should know better. Roku means 6 in Japanese. Like snowflakes, 6 sides

The frontier AI models have been trained on everything, without enough distinction in the area of moral standards. They need to adopt the military Cadet Honor Code: “I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” People have rationalized bad behavior /1

since the Garden of Eden (that woman YOU gave me) & we know the AI companies are in a space race w/out the atoms, cleaving books to scan them faster, ingesting anything & everything. If the AI companies want to gain the trust of the public, make the Cadet Honor Code the Law of AI

“ahead of this week’s confirmation hearings for Todd Blanche.” lolling to ♾️
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: In a stunning admission, the FBI just confirmed to me the existence of training videos instructing FBI analysts on what to redact in the Epstein Files. I’ll show you the letter and discuss the massive implications in one hour. Link below: muellershewrote.com/p/breaki…

“…if a dude that looks like Elizabeth Warren’s gay, older sister can become Lt. Governor” sick burn, lol
TX Lt Governor, Dan Patrick, claims that James Talarico doesn’t look manly enough to win in Texas. My guy, if a dude that looks like Elizabeth Warren’s gay, older sister can become Lt. Governor then anyone can win in Texas with the right message.

Replying to @OpenAI
@OpenAI I just had the free version of ChatGPT make me a draw of the Round of 16 for the women @Wimbledon. It hallucinated 4 of the 16 entries, listing Svitolina, Zheng, Anisimova, & Kaliskaya. I caught Svitolina, she’s one of my non-US faves (mom+Ukraine), but lost in 1st round.

I just checked the Men’s draw, it was worse! 5 out of 16 wrong is a 31% error rate. Istg Chatty is huffing acid again. Reality is over-rated, that’s what the hippies used to say

And even the correction is still wrong! Khachanov has lost, so has Machac and Rune. In trying to fix it, Chatty dropped Fritz who was rightfully listed the first time. Mind is blown, this is too close to real-time for AI. But sure, give away your tax revenue for data centers.

lol “hostage situation with branding”. Very true
If your business only works when you are personally holding 87 invisible strings together, that is not a system. That is a hostage situation with branding.

In WW2, the WASPs flew more than 12,000 trips to ferry military aircraft of all types to the front linesB-29s, P51s, all of them. Now they are combat pilots and very good ones. Pete the Kegger is a disgrace
This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇
