What a fucking grifter.
Trump tells supporters in a new fundraising email that if they don’t donate to him within the next hour, Democrats will steal their "tariff rebate checks" and give them to "illegals," that the country is "boiling over," and that only an immediate cash transfer to him can stop total disaster.

Bad elders.

(rrrrraaeennnggerrrr, chainsaw sound)

no, no, no I'm not advocating cultural revolution.

just better, more honest perspective.

You, you're HARDLY the greatest generation anymore, and

You, your big boom of culture fizzled into materialist, superficial fashion bullshit.

bad elders

1000% Is a phrase I kinda hate.

But Bsky is 1000% less toxic because it is an order of magnitude smaller.

In 450 days I will be 60 years old.

some of you will say Inshallah

some of you will say God willing

some of you will say if you're lucky.

NONE of you who do appreciate what a badass, excellent eventuality of evolution I am and sadly never will.

You're more likely to kill me for not thanking god

Let's X odus I always say
Point of Clarification

Xitter - noun, pronounced "shitter"

is a portmanteaux

of the name of the company 'Twitter,'
and its name after being sold and changed to 'X'

X + Twitter = Xitter

Usage: "I was on Xitter when it first started but I quit in '21 just before Elon Musk bought it."

T20 generation players
turned the Boxing Day Test at the MCG
into a T20-style, match of two ODIs.

Congrats, kids, you found a way to ruin Test.

Homo sapiens digitalis

The digital generations ERASE the slower, enduring pace ... but
Don't worry, we,
the outnumbered generation
between you elders
and this new one

(the new species: Homo sapiens digitalis)

We, the outnumbered will grease and lubricate these grinding gears.

Hear us

Two immense cultural shifts
representing the generationally grinding gears of analog to digital are:

Designated hitter forced onto National League ⚾

and

Invention of T20 Cricket 🏏

The digital gen ERASE the slower, enduring pace.

The soul of these centuries-old
bat-and ball games
is left behind.

They Invented the RETARDED overs game

(Proper use of the term don't @ me
50 overs to 20 overs is retarding the overs. ... by 30 overs), undercut World Cup ODI format, and now

T20 gen players turned the Boxing Day Test at the MCG into a T20-style, match of two ODIs.

They found a way to ruin Test.

DETAILS

Victor Wembanyama leads the Spurs in points and rebounds

Stephon Castle in assists

BUT

both 21 yo men also lead the Spurs in
Turnovers and Personal Fouls 👇🏾

and are the only Spurs averaging
3+ TO and PF per game

Teams are doubling, trying to strip Vic low when he dribbles and succeeding
December 27, 2025 at 2:52 PM
The Ashes reduced to a two day event of T20 style played like ODIs ...

that's not cricket.

The generation has finally ruined Test.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

We know how and have tech, so we'll categorically be seeing more like #3i/ATLAS

We ought to broaden the public's understanding by classifying the first three interstellar objects we've seen

1. #Oumuamua an asteroid
2. #Borisov a comet

3. Atlas, arrived a planetoid but left a comet: cryo-vulcanism
December 26, 2025 at 4:18 PM
ATLAS, of NASA, the

Asteroid
Terrestrial-impact
Last
Alert
System

ground-based network of telescopes

We only came to know this HUGE thing would be hurtling by on July 1st
got our closest view on October 19th

There could have been thousands of these

It's size requires reclassification

planetoid
December 26, 2025 at 4:09 PM
#3i/ATLAS arrived as a planetoid,

a MASSIVE mostly metallic mineral object tumbling, spinning, hurtling through space

at an angle/speed NASA's Larry Denneau understood would be near us on July 1st

It leaves, a comet, because of cryo-vulcanism - chemistry caused by the rays and gravity of our sun
December 26, 2025 at 4:00 PM
planetoid

Anomalous activity, material composition, radiation (chemical and radiation) separates it from a comet.

Planetoid encompasses the notion of the "planet" part being burned off so it leaves more like a comet.

#3i/ATLAS arrived as a planetoid and left as a comet because of cryo-vulcanism.
December 26, 2025 at 3:41 PM
More details about Larry Denneau, whose unique background led all of us to observe this interstellar object on July 1st of this year from the comments section on Anton Petrov's latest update on #3i/ATLAS
December 26, 2025 at 3:36 PM
Anton Petrov 's excellent math/science channel has a v. good update summarizing recent data and scientific papers re #3i/ATLAS.

He details the paper on cryo-vulcanism, and, in his usual thorough manner, notes the detail of the astronomer at ATLAS who first identified it.
