Men take better care of their cars than their own bodies. Men! Care for your bodies! Decide how these car maintenance metaphors play out for yourself. Do you wash your car? Change the oil? Replace bald tires?
Friend and college classmate @tbc0 (Tim Chambers) describes how first responders saved his life. Tim notes: "Most men take better care of their cars than their bodies". I'm glad he was able to thank them later!

Today @nytimes introduced me to the existence of Starshield. This propaganda campaign is infuriating. @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump are cagey equivocators, playing the public as rubes. I'm not falling for it. I don't know what's going on. None of us know. It's #geopolitics.
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday that the U.S. government and President Donald Trump was responsible for any curbs on Ukraine’s military-grade Starlink network.
Ukraine had accused SpaceX of imposing new restrictions on the Starshield internet service without warning.
Writing on X, Musk said that “Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the U.S. government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS”: cnb.cx/4hMcauy

Potty parity, not parody! 🚻 Shared wash area, two doors: one room of safe, private cubicles; one of urinals with privacy dividers. ALL BODY TYPES WELCOME. We don't want to hear about your gender, unless it's a man standing up or a woman sitting down. Tidy the seats! #PottyParity
Say hello to my little friend, who is armed—yes it has a weapon—and it defends my porch sleelessly—24×7. Makes me proud to be an American! #MMPTBAA

Wikipedia is the voice of Establishment. But its editorial leadership is overwhelmingly anonymous. They are the Blob. Who do they work for? I don't know. Neither do you.

‘I Created A Monster’ Wikipedia Co-Founder Reveals How They BANNED Him | Larry Sanger (@lsanger)
Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger joins me to reveal how he was banned from the very platform he helped create and why he believes it has become a tool of establishment ideology.
We discuss political bias, censorship, anonymous editors, alleged intelligence agency influence, and how Wikipedia is shaping ChatGPT and other AI models. I also share how my own Wikipedia page was weaponised against me.
Q: How many Wikipedians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: No one yet knows. After 25 years, and countless Wikipedians and IP address editors, the bulb is still out.

#Confession. It was too much work to carry out this token plan. Stakes are too small. My new fun activity is to pick lottery numbers in @RandomOrg Android app. Follow my #Powerball and #MegaMillions tweets. Won't it be fun in the most twisted way if I pick the winning numbers?
Personal #milestone.
#TIL $MKL. Here is my simple little investment strategy. I play Powerball and Mega Millions whenever (1) I happen to remember to buy tickets and (2) it is convenient for me to execute the purchase somewhere in person. My budget is $19 per week. 1/2
Picked my #Powerball numbers tonight: 8 18 23 30 48 PB 16. Didn't win. Good thing I didn't buy a ticket. I saved $3! #IsavedThreeDollars
#TIL @bluewe123 0 following with >1000 followers. They are entitled to their opinion, but I'll take this serendipitous opportunity to say that I hated the whole #Avengers story. Thanos makes no sense to me as a villain.
When talking abt #reparations, maybe descendants of the native peoples who suffered in the original 13 Colonies before America was even a country should get priority? Manhattans (Manhattoes) and the wider Lenape and Munsee population, to name some. See how it goes first? #htwoosh
