BREAKING NEWS!!! Kevin Robert Kesar goes NUCLEAR on Triple... H & WWE after #WrestleMania! After his minimum appearance at Night 2, Kross snapped, starting in character, but one minute in, he breaks and vents his frustration. He says Goldberg once told him to “be a good soldier,” but that only got him released. Being a “good soldier” in WWE means your time gets cut, ideas ignored, and you get left off the card, even in your hometown. Kross says WWE only cares about viral moments now and shuts down anything organic, like fans wanting him vs. Randy Orton. He ends with a brutal message: “To the guy in the suit and tie in the truck… “GO FUCK YOURSELF! And that’s Killer Kross.show more

29 May 2026 Giga Texas Snapshots! AS I get... ready to head off to Europe for a few weeks to attend the Tesla Club Austria Takeover Europe event, Here is an extended snapshots video clip showing a site absolutely brimming with activity. Today is also a rare production day to make up for the holiday on Monday. Cybercabs all over the place today, exiting the factory, driving in the outbound lot for transport pickup, many with their hatches open prepping for final inspections and more! The refreshed Tesla Semi with extended cab removed at the Crash Testing facility today too! Construction in 4 major sites is really moving along today too, including more steel erection at the N Optimus factory site, and the extension ground reclamation work continues to progress. The E Advanced Tech Chip fab shows more earth preparation and Cortex 2 part 2 of the cooling system getting 4 of these 6 fan units installed while more Megapacks have arrived and are being installed. The SW Test Track is also getting work done on it, with some new excavation work and pipe installation along with new concrete curbs. So mush more to see today and I hope you enjoy this slightly loner snapshots look at the factory today. See you in a few weeks!show more

My Mouse P.I. For Hire Review: “This game is... well crafted, highly engaging as a first person shooter, stuffed with content, and is well suited to be Indie game of the year”. 🟢Play as Jack Pepper (voiced by Troy Baker) as a Private investigator in a town called “Mouseburg.” 🔵Tasked with numerous investigations consisting of main quests, side quests, collectibles, and finding cards for a card game. 🟢$29.99 is a great price point for everything you get to do in this over 15 hour main game. Completion is well over 20 hours. 🔵Multiple weapons to unlock, upgrade, and choose from as you move through the game. Explosives are also unlocked. 🟢The black and white setting is a cool visual twist that immerses us in feeling like an old school PI. 🔵There is a top down map that you can navigate to new unlocked points on a map, think Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. 🟢Multiple graphical options for performance at 60fps and quality at 30fps. 60 was consistent on performance mode. 🔵The musical score of jazz aids to the setting of being an old school detective. 🟢3 difficulty settings, I recommend Detective or Supersleuth as rookie is too easy. 🔵Game encourages finding secret paths off the main sections to locate secrets which might be loot, newspapers, etc. 🟢The crime wall is a cool feature we use to post evidence as we collect items within missions. 🔴Had some pop ins 2 or 3 times on performance mode. They are minimal, but worth noting. 🔴Enemy AI is not smart on lower level difficulty, you need to play on Detective, but I recommend supersleuth to have more enjoyable combat sequences. 🔴Minimal accessibility options to engage with. 🔴Would have liked to see more enemy variety. Game is a 9.1/10 for me. Highly recommend buying!show more

Ft Aston Villa 1 v 2 Spurs Oh Robert... De Zerbi 🔥🔥get in there 👊🏼 What an unbelievable win it’s in our hands now and we are out of the relegation zone. That first half of football that was! The best this season, I think. We got in their faces from the off, pressing them relentlessly. De Zerbi’s ball was there for all to see: 50/50s and 2nd balls. Gallagher’s strike to put us one up was superb. Palhinha hit the post with another great shot shortly after. We were all over them. Martinez pulled off a great save to stop them going 2-0 before Richarlison put in our second. The scenes in the away end were amazing he is ready for the battle as always. Bentancur, Palhinha, and Gallagher were controlling the midfield with Destiny getting forward well Tel needed to be a bit calmer on his final ball. At HT we had 8 shots 4 on target to their none Palhinha was like an animal in the second half pressing tackle just unbelievable with Bentancur and Gallagher working so hard. Kinsky’s ball control and distribution was so good. MVDV had to make a couple of crucial tackles but we were very comfortable. I felt like I was watching a football team tonight Leeds next #COYS 🤍💙show more

I am completely blown away!!! It’s midnight and I’ve... just wrapped up my first ever day on FSD v14.3.3!! I honestly am in awe at what a professional driver my car is now! It has gone from being a cautious grandma, to an assertive boss!! I doubted some of the guys on a space early this morning that it would be able to handle Australian roundabouts with expertise, and boy was I mistaken!!! This version NAILS roundabouts with ease! Not only does it enter them at a perfect speed, it accelerates out of them with full force and confidence! Legitimately brought a smile to my face. It’s now fully proactive and asserts itself with lane changes and makes sure that it gets into the right lane WELL IN ADVANCE before it has to take an exit. It now also consistently INDICATES every time 2 lanes merge into one. And the moment there’s a speed zone change it reacts immediately to either accelerate or de-accelerate without no delay! Legitimately addresses all the complaints we previously had with FSD here in Australia! Oh! And not to mention, it can find a supercharger in a basement of a building and park automatically now! When before it would bail at tight corners in underground carparks. This version feels like it now honours my time. It’s incredibly fast to react, decisive to make a move and has no hesitation in accelerating quickly to get up to speed. There’s no longer a trade-off with choosing FSD or getting to your destination in a hurry. It’ll make sure you get there safely and effectively! I freaking love FSD!!! Thank you so much to the incredible team and everyone else that made this happen! I am incredibly over the moon with this! Lots of love 🫶 Enjoy my full 2 hour video of FSD v14 here Down Under!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺show more

Saint Louis’s Dion Brown is one of the best... glue guy’s in this year’s NBA Draft. For the season Brown averaged 11/5/2 on 62/40/75 splits in only 24 MPG. While also playing a major role in Saint Louis’s 29-6 record. When it comes to role versatility and impacting the game without the ball in his hands Brown is one of the best in this year’s class. At just 6’4 Brown has the ability to play the 2-4 at a high level with his motor, strength, and instincts. Brown was one of the best finishers in the country this season where he shot 75% at the rim on 170 attempts and was the only non big to do that. Brown is an elite cutter with great instincts to get to his spots, while also being a high level slasher in the half court and he also has the ability to push in transition with and without the ball. Brown is also a strong shooter from three who shot 40% from three. Brown’s mix of shooting and finishing efficiency makes him an extremely valuable player. Brown is also a skilled passer as a connector and creator who uses his ability to get to the rim to find cutting teammates, or uses his passing vision. On the defensive end Brown was one of the best defenders in the A10 with his motor and instincts. Brown is also an elite rebounder for his height who is always attacking the glass. Browns mix of finishing, shooting, versatility, passing, rebounding, off ball scoring and defensive impact makes him one of the most valuable glue guys on any team he plays for.show more

CSS Tip! 💫 You can create this responsive perspective... warp animation with 3D CSS and container queries ✨ (Video reveals trick 👀) .warp { container-type: size; perspective: 100px; transform-style: preserve-3d; resize: both; overflow: hidden; } Couple of tricks in this one 🤓 The main idea is to create a tunnel (an open-ended cube). On each side of the tunnel, use linear-gradient to create the grid lines ✨ .side { background: linear-gradient(#​fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 0 / 5% 5%, linear-gradient(90deg, #​fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 50% / 5% 5%; } To position each side, you rotate on the x-axis by 90deg. Each side would become invisible at this point. So you give the scene perspective 😉 .warp__side--top { width: 100cqi; height: 100cqmax; transform-origin: 50% 0%; transform: rotateX(-90deg); } The cool part here is that you want to make each side the same height. But the container is responsive. So you can use a container query and make sure each side is 100cqmax tall 🫶 Then the "beams". Each side contains "beams". They have different colors, sizes, and positions, and move at different speeds ⚡️ We can control that through scoped custom properties. .beam { width: 5%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 5%); aspect-ratio: 1 / 2; background: linear-gradient( hsl(var(--hue) 80% 60%), transparent ); translate: 0 100%; animation: warp calc(var(--speed, 0) * 1s) calc(var(--delay, 0) * -1s) infinite linear; } The magic here is though that a beam's animation is as basic as translating it from the top of the side to the bottom. And you can get that distance with a container query again 🔥 @​keyframes warp { 0% { translate: -50% 100cqmax; } 100% { translate: -50% -100%; } } And that is pretty much it! A cool warp animation effect using 3D CSS and container queries ⚡️ If you have any questions, let me know ᵔᴥᵔ CodePen.IO link below! 👇show more

How to place your 1st vending machine with only... $1,000: 1: Browse Micromart(.com) to find your first machine. 2: Look for smart coolers or combo machines ($3,500-$6,000 range) 3: Finance the machine with 10-15% down ($300-$800 upfront) 4: Use the remaining $200-$700 to stock your first inventory at Costco or Sam's Club 5: Now you're in business with less than $1,000 out of pocket Once you secure the machine... You need to find the right location to maximize cash flow: • Target high-traffic apartment complexes (300+ units) • Pitch busy office buildings (100+ employees) • Approach gyms that don't have modern vending options • Visit manufacturing facilities with multiple shifts Walk in and pitch it as a luxury amenity, not "just a vending machine." Your goal is $70+ per day in revenue ($2,000+/month). At 50% profit margins, that's $1,000/month in your pocket from one machine. Stack 3-5 machines and you're looking at $3k-$5k/month in passive income. I started with one machine doing $1,200/month. Followed this exact process and scaled to 60+ machines across 4 cities. If you're serious about building passive income with vending machines... DM me "Vending" and I'll show you how to get started.show more

Full video and transcript of Elon Musk's speech at... Donald Trump's rally a few hours ago. "Hi, everyone. As you can see I'm not just MAGA. I'm dark MAGA. First of all, I want to say what an honor it is to be here You know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist-pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight! Blood coming down the face. America is the home of the brave, and there's no true test than courage under fire. Who do you want representing America? And I think this election is the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote effectively. You've got 14 states now that don't require voter ID. California, where I used to live, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting. I still can't believe that's real. So how are you supposed to have a good, proper election if there's no ID? It's just meaningless. And free speech is the bedrock of democracy. And if people don't know what's going on, if they don't know the truth, how can you make an informed vote? You must have free speech in order to have democracy. That's why it's the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment is there to ensure that we have the First Amendment. President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must win situation. So I have one ask for everyone in the audience, everyone who watches this video, everyone in the live stream, there's one request. It's very important. Register to vote. Okay? And get everyone you know and everyone you don't know. Drag them to register to vote. There's only two days left to register to vote in Georgia and Arizona. 48 hours. Text people now, now. And then, make sure they actually do vote. If they don't, this will be the last election. That's my prediction. Nothing's more important. So, I'm speaking to people out there. Everyone in the crowd, I think, is already convinced. But for people out there that are watching the video, watching the live stream, you need to get everyone you know at work, your friends, family, text groups, your social media, everything. Get them to register to vote. Right now. Only two days left for Georgia and Arizona. Only a couple weeks left in Pennsylvania. And if they're not registered to vote, it doesn't matter at that point. Register. I'm being repetitive for a reason. A lot of people think maybe the vote doesn't count. Well, it does. It does. It matters. And this election could be decided by 1000 votes, 500 votes, a tiny margin. So get everyone you know to register to vote. And double-check that your registration is good. Don't take it for granted. I'm just being repetitive about this point because it is one takeaway. More than anything, what will matter is getting those registrations and then getting everyone you know to actually vote. That is what will decide this election, especially in Pennsylvania. And honestly, you want to just be a pest. Just be a pest to everyone you know, people on the street, everywhere. Vote, vote, vote, fight, fight, fight! Thank you."show more

A 23-year-old made $5,000 last month from AI. No... employees. No office. He didn't write a single line of code. While you're still "thinking about getting into AI," he picked three tiny lanes and quietly took them. Lane 1 — Micro SaaS. He found one thing people pay to do by hand. Built one AI tool that does it in a click. Not a platform. One feature. $19/month, 300 people paying, and he hasn't touched it in weeks. Lane 2 — Productized AI agents. He built an AI agent that answers a dentist's phone, books the patient, and texts the confirmation. Set up once. The clinic pays $1,200 a month to keep it alive. He has nine of them now. He's never met a single patient. Lane 3 — Prompt libraries. He packaged the prompts that actually work "30 hooks that go viral," "50 cold emails that get replies" - into one file. Made it once. Sells it forever. Same file, every day, while he sleeps. Now the part that should sting a little. He didn't invent anything. The tools are free. The skills are free. AI does the hard part now. The only thing left to own is the niche and there are millions of them sitting wide open while everyone fights to build the next big app nobody asked for. He's not smarter than you. He just stopped scrolling and picked a lane. You're still scrolling.show more

Fitness Update: End of 3 months of Bulking. Starting... a 3 month cut tomorrow, my last cut of 2026. I lost about 50 pounds from January 2025 till the end of March 2026 with a 13 month straight cut aided by Retatrutide and Tirzepatide. Counted calories and ran a deficit and lifted weights the whole time. My body needed a break and a reset from the stress of cutting for that long and constant downregulating of my metabolism. I decided to take April off and just do more calories and more lifting, and that turned into deciding to do May and June as well. So for 3 months straight I've been eating a lot more and lifting a LOT. I've gained about 5 pounds. Abs are not very visible anymore. But I've put on some muscle and strength as well and increased my base metabolic rate by several hundred calories. This is positioning me to be able to better be able to run a deficit again and continue into another cut with more energy and success possible. So this is me thicc boi mode ready to start a cut and get lean and mean. I'm sitting at ~195 right now and ~16-18% body fat. Goal of my cut is to get to the 180 or so range over the next 3 months and be in the 12-13% BF range, at which point I'll do a slow patient bulk through Oct-January and enjoy the fall and Holidays with lots of calories and strength training. Starting tomorrow I'm going to add 30-45 minutes of daily fasted zone 2 cardio first thing in the morning to burn an extra 150-300 cals. And I will drop my daily calorie allowance about 400 calories from what I've been eating the last few months. (2500-2800 down to 2200 to start, lowering later to 2100 and 2000 lowest if necessary to keep rate of loss where I want) This should get me the 1+ pound per week rate of loss I'm looking for. And I'll continue to prioritize lifting and protein as well to preserve the muscle mass I've built up and get as much of the loss to be fat as possible. I'm also going zero alcohol the whole cut as well. If I execute well, I'll be by far the fittest and leanest I've ever been at the end of September and I'm excited to see what that looks and feels like when I get there. Going from 70+ pounds overweight to building your dream physique isn't a quick process, people. Give yourself a couple of years to work on it systematically. It took you years to get out of shape, so you can take a couple years to get into great shape. But once you're there it's easier to stay there than it was to get there thankfully. The work continues. Let me know if you have any questions about anything. I'm documenting the whole process and will keep y'all up to speed. Open book. Building in public for accountability and hopefully to help others with their journey as well. 4th pic is me at my fattest in 2024. Embarrassing to post but necessary conext. I was in a sad, sad state you guys and heading towards diabetes and an early grave. If I can do this, you can do this!show more

OF RJ Austin (Vanderbilt Baseball) is an intriguing college... hitter in this year's Draft. Carved out an every day role as a Freshman and collected 18 XBH with 43 RBIs, but had a breakout summer on the Cape to the tune of a .327/.426/.376 slash line with 13 RBIs in 29 games. Carried that momentum over into last season where he hit .335/.402/.471 with 14 2B, 5 HRs, 54 RBIs and 28 SB. Earned an invitation to Team USA, but had a strong 15-game stint on the Cape and hit .321/.361/.536 with 6 2B, 2 HRs and 9 RBIs. Strong, athletic build at 5'11" and 193-lbs with plenty of natural strength. Stands fairly tall in the box with his knees slightly bent and a tight base with a slightly open front side. Austin has lowered his handset a bit since last spring, and he now has more of a medium-high handset. Barrel tip in his load is accompanied by his hands drifting. High leg kick leads into a rather lengthy stride. Quick hands and easy plus bat speed. Athletic look, rotates well. Austin's hit tool has taken positive strides since the start of his college career, and last year he posted an overall contact rate of 82% and an IZ contact rate of 91% (including 94% against FB). Present feel for the barrel. Approach and swing decisions still need some fine-tuning, and Austin is susceptible to FBs in the top and outer-1/3 as well as secondaries down-and-away. Very pull-oriented approach. Would give it a 50, probably closer to a 55 than a 50. Austin's also a strong kid with more impact in the tank than his 12 career HRs might suggest. All of his HR power has come to the pull side, but he needs to get the ball up in the air more. Posted a Max EV of 110 last spring. There are some ingredients to work with here, but has to lift the baseball on a more regular basis. Power plays as a 45 in-game. Has had limited experience in the OF to this point, but will roam CF this spring for Vanderbilt. Got a fair amount of run out there this summer on the Cape. Austin's speed and athleticism both translate to the position—he can go and get it—but the reads and route running will need refinement. Fringe-average arm. I'm curious to see the progress over the course of the season. I alluded to it, but Austin is a plus runner and an effective base-stealer. Twitchy. 2nd-3rd round type for me this July.

Kelsey Hightower has one of the most inspiring stories... in tech: he went from a technician installing DSL modems, through self-directed study and very hard work, to one of the very few Distinguished Engineer at Google whom Satya Nadella personally persuaded to join Microsoft. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:34 Kelsey’s first job at McDonald’s 05:04 His non-traditional path into tech 11:45 Landing his first tech job with an A+ certification 15:33 His entrepreneurial years 19:45 Joining Google as a data center technician 27:48 Learning automation at a Rackspace spinoff 33:26 Moving into financial services 50:00 Building a reputation through open source 53:55 From configuration management to containers 1:08:20 The rise of Kubernetes 1:25:05 Why he almost joined NASA instead of Google 1:29:20 Defining DevRel at Google 1:38:20 Demonstrating impact at Google 1:41:20 Microsoft's offer 1:55:20 Learning how to slow down 2:06:39 Advising and investing 2:15:03 A people-first view of GenAI 2:24:27 Using AI with guardrails 2:28:26 Matching AI to the task 2:36:06 Staying relevant in the AI era Brought to you by outstanding teams building products I love: • Antithesis: verify your system’s correctness without human review or traditional integration tests – and avoid bugs or outages. • Sentry: application monitoring software considered “not bad” by millions of developers • Buildkite: CI software built to absorb whatever your coding agents throw at the build queue. OpenAI, Anthropic, Uber and others are customers: Three interesting learnings from Kelsey: 1. Side hustles and doing your own thing teach you business like no IC job can. Before becoming a software engineer at Google, Kelsey was a manager for his comedian friend, operated a computer store, and did IT contracting. These gigs taught him logistics, planning, and about money. All this helped him be far more effective at talking with executives and acting as an executive sponsor inside Google. 2. Can you explain what your startup does without mentioning AI? When Kelsey researches startups seeking his advice, he challenges founders to not say “AI” once. This means that they must explain the actual value their company creates. One unexpected benefit of this is that it often reveals there are easier, cheaper ways to achieve a goal than with AI. 3.
