What a functional process looks like. Take note

I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna miss @tim_cook 🥲 #TimApple

You thought the Clone Wars was about massive, cheap, expendable units? Just wait until the Drone Wars become widespread.

Hey @claudeai I just hit retry after running our of usage credits a day ago and after thinking for 10 seconds, I'm once again out of usage credits and it resets today at noon? What the hell? Claude didn't do absolutely anything and I'm out of credits. What a ripoff

Hey @nikitabier, X for iOS is still broken even after today’s update. Go to your profile, tap on edit and try doing something, anything. App freezes then restarts, no matter how often you try. @X

Switching AIs is like changing therapists. Frustrating until you get up to speed, and you hope this time it's gonna stick, or you'll give it up entirely.

In Thailand, a mantis shrimp hit a russian hard enough to injure him.

As expected, the UFO release is underwhelming. Called it.

Let's stop for a bit and wish Sir David Attenborough happy birthday. May he be happy, healthy and wealthy!

Europe's biggest problems right now are unchecked migration, radicalization, political extremism, poverty, low natality, lack of education, massive misinformation and a threat of a extended war within the next 18 months. (did I miss anything?) These are not separate problems. They are the symptoms of a single issue, which is the mellowization of society. I coined the term "mellowization" as a politically correct term for what both you and I know cannot be published online. And mellowization has straightforward, logical, and natural solutions, like restoring cultural confidence, enforcing real integration and reciprocity, incentivizing family formation and excellence in education, rebuilding institutional accountability, and rediscovering the will to deter rather than accommodate threats. These aren't radical ideas, but rather the basic maintenance any civilization has always needed to survive and thrive. The data is clear, the history is clear, and the consequences of inaction are becoming impossible to ignore. I'm keen on working towards these solutions in the coming years, through policy dialogue, cross-sector collaboration, and practical initiatives that prioritize long-term societal resilience over short-term comfort. If you're in business, policy, education, or defense and you see the same pattern, let's connect. The alternative will literally kill us.

A second Russian drone hit Romania today, and our Prime Minister, while highly capable in most regards, has simply “strongly condemned” this act. When will today’s leaders learn that the world has changed, and that might is right?

So, let’s talk about aliens and Epstein now. Whatever is of consequence.

Remember what this guy said. Then what I said.

Highly personal post. Scroll past it if you’re not in the mood. Work gives our lives meaning, and sometimes we forget that. While traveling through Japan, I noticed that many, if not most shops were managed by very old, lively people. One day I went by this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, attended by this very nice old lady. I was watching her cooking, happily and skillfully, in the back of the kitchen, when I noticed an English newspaper taped to the window, with the headline “famous cook receives new award”. The year on the newspaper? 1979! In the picture she was already old, which was taken 45 years earlier. She’s been cooking for decades, and happily so. I noticed a similar thing with a very old couple running their hand craft business since the ‘80s. Then I saw a group of old ladies traveling together and joking around. And it hit me: the secret to their longevity lies both in community and in meaning. And for all, their craft and their work gives them meaning. And I've been thinking about that recently. You see, two and a half years ago, I managed to create a very comfortable life for myself. I was fortunate enough to do what I wanted, when I wanted. Started new hobbies, new projects, travelled. Rescued a puppy. Remarried the love of my life. But I found no meaning. Joy was fleeting, same as excitement. The thing is, my divergent profile, with high cognitive ability tangled with ADHD wiring, makes life annoyingly challenging. I love starting new things, and I thrive in chaos and emergencies. Once things get repetitive, I get bored and lose interest. Comfort, it turns out, is the worst possible environment for a brain like mine. The old lady in the window has been cooking since 1979. It gave her life meaning. It's time for me to start cooking again.

I’m afraid this is a trap.

This will age like fine wine.

In case you were unaware, the Persian Empire once ruled over almost half of the world.

Pfizer sued Poland and Romania, and won. $2bn contract.

Aww, I think he's due in 2 weeks. 😊
