We'll protect ourselves this summer, numbnuts.
We need to get the FISA Section 702 program reauthorized quickly so that the intelligence community has the tools they need to keep Americans safe during a summer of high-profile celebrations.

Every time I see the dimmed gray text of a "Newer version of this post" I look for typos that I never would have noticed otherwise.
Just own it.

At this point, let's be honest, phones are so crappy that you shouldn't even bother filming a UFO with them. The results speak for themselves.
You can easily see the moons of Jupiter with cheap binoculars. Have you ever seen a cell phone photo of them? Exactly!

Oppenheimer was disappointing. I think Fat Man and Little Boy was a much better movie.
The bomb blasting his mouth open is classic.

Come a long way from Eddie Murphy crying about having to eat a homemade hamburger, haven't we.

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!
A "family festival" in suburban Kansas City was overrun with "teens" who began BEATING POLICE OFFICERS and UNLEASHED BEAR SPRAY on attendees.
The fire department kept coming back to treat people who couldn't breathe.
It took 3 POLICE AGENCIES to get the crowd under control and during a foot chase, officers recovered a 3D-PRINTED GHOST GUN off another juvenile.
Only two teens were detained and then released to their parents.
This is the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW teens have hijacked this festival.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

They still make this stuff, but it's not General Foods any more, and the can isn't metal.
You may recognise Wilson on the mug as In Hot Water pet of the day. I think it was the week after episode 1000, if you have the means.

Just what we needed. More formal reminders that the world is full of idiots.

There are many like it, but this one is mine. The bicentennial silver proof set, bought by my parents even though I didn't arrive in time to witness the celebration.
Don't you dare complain about the quality of events for 250. It will be a cold day in hell before I attend another outdoor PUBLIC event in a major city. We are at war, and I don't mean that BS in Iran!
Oh, poor you, the performers aren't up to your standards. Serves you right for having such shitty taste all these years. How many of our own Paul McCartneys gave up because you promoted "rap", lip-syncers, and autotuners? Maybe doctors shouldn't have killed Elvis and Michael Jackson, and messed up Brian Wilson.
Will another 50 years be enough to get our shit together, or will 2076 be a bunch of monkeys trying to get an old AI to do something approximating music?

Yeah, I decided to watch this again. Maybe skip over the weirdo in the trailer parts that I still don't think add anything to the story.
Any show that references Falco and Nena deserves a second chance.

How could we have movies like that now, when current music is so horrible?
Back then some of those classic songs barely existed outside of the movie soundtrack.

Someday I'm going to read these. When I was a kid, seeing Time Life Books for sale on TV seemed like some impossible achievement for people with their shit together in a way I knew I never would.
Now they practically give them away at garage sales.

Oh wow, what a rabbit hole! Now all of these are flooding back into memory.

I didn't remember this one at all, but I know I saw that 4D interlocked ring thing around 3rd or 4th grade because I tried to draw it.
Was my lifelong interest in computers triggered in part by a TV book club commercial?

A new flavor of NOS, or "Number five" as my dad used to call it, should be great to finish off my three egg and can of hash breakfast.
Yes, I saw the gas prices. Did you ever consider they're probably just ripping us off?

"Precision matters more than blanket removal."
@Grok is it too much to ask that accounts pretending to be billionaires or lottery winners get extra scrutiny?
Not a single one of the 78 accounts I blocked today were verified or paying customers. They've never even interacted with my posts.
The new algorithm's Grox layer already flags spam and impersonation signals in real time to reduce their reach. Auto-purging every fake Elon account is appealing, but it risks false positives on parody, fan, or discussion accounts.
Precision matters more than blanket removal. Your manual cleanup is the smart user-side fix—keeps the signal clean. Glad you're feeling liberated!

So, finally we know what's going on in the X algorithm.
Any such algorithm can be ruined by a large population of fake users. I just spent 20 minutes and blocked every obvious fake follower I could see in one quick scan. I'm sure there's more!
Before and After: Nearly 15% fake, and GONE!
@Grok will it help the X algorithm for people to block fake followers?

Do people living in Philadelphia now watch Rocky and think about how nice his neighborhood looked in the 70s?

I handled Top Secret information many times in my military career.
The first time was during training, they handed out materials marked "TOP SECRET" when for weeks everything had just been Secret. It contained one short sentence somewhere about the existence of spy satellites.
That's it. No aliens. No area 51. No JFK. No X-files.
Classification exists so people with clearances know what they aren't allowed to talk about. It isn't mysterious Art Bell stuff.
I hate being pessimistic, but this thing with Kelly isn't going anywhere. We're just going to get all riled up and then move on, like callers on a sports-talk radio show.
Catch him on something worse. Be patient. He can't help but pretend to be the bigshot.

I handled Top Secret information only a handful of times in my military career.
Every time I did, I remember thinking to myself "Why is this classified? Everybody suspects this is true, it's just common sense..."
But then I remembered that the reason the data was classified was so that no one in the know would or could ever confirm or deny whether "common sense" suspicions were actually true.
THAT is the power of security classifications.
My point is this: it does not matter whether or not anyone has a common sense suspicion that stores of precision munitions might be depleted. When Kelly officially verified that suspicion at the individual munition level, he created a grave breach of national security.
Prosecute this traitor. Remember when some submariner went to the brig because he posted a picture from the inside of a sub? This is far worse.
Prosecute.
