'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

today is the day

RIP in peace, today's macros.

Nevermind, went to get a yogurt and saw there's leftover pizza in the fridge.

I can't recall the last time I forgot to eat working. Might as well grab something light and wait until dinner.

I just wish they also did it for texts. I still get scams daily.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Training hard, no extensive warm-ups. Everything going great. Try new warm-ups to ensure I stay in good shape. Get sprain from the warmup.

You mean chaotic.

Saw Andrea Bocelli today, bucket list item, but I'd never seen so many rude people in that type of event. I guess because he's "mainstream", but there were a lot of people taking photos and videos, with flash, throughout the performance, people murmuring, etc.

Just saw Jessica Chastain apple picking 😶

That's why people who complain about being adults aren't doing it right. I mean, pancakes for dinner. End of discussion.

I will 🙏

Right? I didn't realize how much of a difference that made until every single post is about the impending doom of civilization and the end of human rights. Kinda miss the food photos now 😅

I really crushed it this week at the gym. I'm so excited to see where I'll be by this time next year if I keep training like this.

I often hold back from posting here because I feel what I'm thinking not an important or "valuable" thing, in contrast with the current discourse, but what made OG Twitter special was exactly the levity and authenticity of the posts we made 10-15 years ago.

As he should. Very disappointing to see. I was hoping to go to his next show in NYC but will definitely skip.

Sometimes, correlation IS causation 😉

I tuned out of this space almost 20 years ago and didn't keep up with any of these people since; a part of me is disappointed they didn't embrace women and human rights as the logical position to take, but another is going "oh. Well, yeah".

The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."

This captures much of the frustration of today.

"Class" dismissed.

“An independent analysis of 45 right-wing groups advocating against trans rights found that 80% have received donations from fossil fuel companies or billionaires.”

Social media algorithms push rage and division to keep us scrolling. Here’s how the business model works—and the law that allows it to continue. #Algorithms #SocialMedia #Radicalization #PoliticalViolence #TechPolicy #Section230

Made it halfway through the training week. Can't remember the last time I felt this beat up and this is just acclimation. Love it.

Great news @joellifting.bsky.social

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

@AkaashSingh: "As much as we didn't like left-wing shit, far left policy, or the far left thoughts, it wasn't like Joe Biden was putting pressure on somebody to get canceled for saying 'r word.' That's what makes this...an actual attack on free speech."

Helping a fascist get elected because you wanted to drop the R slur without people cringing is the most podcaster defense in history
