1/3 Grocery prices are so high…
@realDonaldTrump and @ZohranKMamdani should summon Jim Sinegal, Jeff Brotman, and the ghost of Sol Price to create the Department of Kirkland Defense.
@YourCommissary prices. @Costco portions. @REI voting rights. @patagonia trust vibes. Socialist military capitalism.
No breadlines. No Soviet cosplay. No screwworms. $1.50 hot dogs secured by nuclear deterrence.
Taking bets on @Kalshi

With so many prominent state politicians being from Central Florida, why is no one investigating @Publix? $20 a pound for roast beef? $9 “on sale” for lean ground beef? These are European prices!
These prices have doubled while the prepackaged meats from other companies (Wahlburgers, Schweid) have only risen modestly.
Is Publix gouging Floridians?
Investigate them NOW

2/3 Hear me out:
Government creates the benchmark. @Costco proves the operational aesthetic. DeCA (@YourCommissary) proves the public-benefit precedent. @ZohranKMamdani supplies the public-option frame. @REI supplies member governance. @patagonia supplies mission lock.
@realDonaldTrump gets an America First affordability win. @NYCMayor gets a national grocery public option. DeCA @YourCommissary gets promoted from military benefit to food-security prototype. @Costco gets canonized as patriotic infrastructure.
And most importantly, the public gets cheaper groceries.
The most beautifully deranged bipartisan retail-policy win in American history.

3/3 The Department of Kirkland Defense:
A civilian commissary/public-option grocery model using public land, private/co-op operators, member ownership, mission-locked governance, and strategic public capital to socialize grocery savings, not just the costs.
Post-growth, not anti-growth: staple affordability, price stability, household food security, local resilience, worker dignity, nutrition access, supply-chain redundancy, and public trust.
Costco-grade logistics. DeCA precedent. REI-style membership. Patagonia-style mission lock. Main Street > Wall Street grocery economics: high-trust retail standards that give workers, households, communities, and operators a real stake in the upside.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Bird autism is definitely one of the best forms of autism. What a legend. 👏👏👏

Neural networks might speak English, but they think in shapes.
Understanding their rich *neural geometry* is key to understanding how they work – and to debugging and controlling them with precision.
Starting today, we’re releasing a series of posts on this research agenda. 🧵

Reality has a surprising amount of detail.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.
This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

The web is disappearing 🕳️
According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible.
But that’s not the whole story.
In a new study published in Internet Archive's book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found:
16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine.
56% are preserved before they disappear.
Preservation is the remedy for cultural loss.

ALT Infographic titled “URLs Preserved in the Wayback Machine” based on a dataset of 5.4 million URLs. It shows 26% of web pages are dead and 74% are still alive. Of the total, 10% have vanished completely, 18% are endangered (not yet preserved), 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine, and 56% are preserved. The visual uses a flow-style diagram to show how preservation reduces permanent loss.

Hmmm… 🤔 Buddharoid monk robots?
Mar 28
this is insane lol
japan is running out of monks... so they're training AI robots called "buddharoid" to replace them 😂 (im not joking):
- japan's temples are closing because fewer priests are available to run them aging population
- the solution: chatgpt robots trained on 1000 years of buddhist scripture that answer your spiritual questions
- the robot even sits in religious prayer positions like an actual monk does.
you can literally have a conversation on life's deepest dilemmas with a robot as smart as the dalai llama
i cannot believe they're scaling these robots to run actual temples.

He created a device that lets paralyzed individuals control phones, tablets, and computers with only their tongue.
Created by MIT-trained engineer Tomás Vega, the device sits on the roof of the mouth and works like a wireless trackpad.
