Had the honor and pleasure to chat and meet with #Apple CEO Mr. @tim_cook. #NCAAChampionship #favoritemoments

@LeaksApplePro That is only true for natural and white. It’s showing October 17-24 for blue or black and even sep 22nd if you pick up.

@withmalice @KylieTaylorxo @espn I don't think people are saying NBA champ wouldn't beat any other team in the world. But calling it World Champ is arrogant since the teams don't compete against teams from the rest of the world. It's funny to the N in NBA "National", not "World". National Champions?

@KylieTaylorxo @espn Except: it’s a GLOBAL competition. They are WORLD CHAMPIONS. There’s a fair bit of arrogance in this thread… not as bad as the NFL folk, but damn close.

"You know the thing that hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have 'world champion' on their head. World champion of what? The United States?" —Noah Lyles on how hard it is to win a world title in track and field

@Johngoesnuts @RaymondZino @PatriotQuarter @EdKrassen Never said or implied that. Better regulations or background checks, tied with ongoing medical/psychological conditions etc. doesn’t mean only the government have guns. You can have higher standards/checks for higher level of guns. A pistol vs a AR-15 could have different checks.

@AlbertTong @RaymondZino @PatriotQuarter @EdKrassen If you're fine with only the government having the guns, you're a sheep and should not be voting.

5 more innocent lives were taken by 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza using an AR-15 last night in Texas. After his neighbors asked him to stop shooting guns in his yard, he went over to their house and killed 5 people, including an 8-year-old child. Two other children were saved by women who used their bodies as shields. This won't end until our legislators say "enough is enough." No, common sense gun laws and an assault weapons ban won't prevent every killing, but if it saves one life, it's worth it. If you don't think banning some of these commonly used weapons will prevent death, you are misleading yourself. I get the 2nd Amendment argument but that doesn't apply here. The 2nd Amendment doesn't say certain guns can't be banned. The 2nd Amendment doesn't mean that all gun sales in America can't require background checks. The 2nd Amendment doesn't prevent mental health checks for owning a firearm. It's time for action!

@RaymondZino @PatriotQuarter @EdKrassen Biggest thing you are missing is that the constitution can be amended. That’s why it’s called the “2nd amendment”. Our constitution was designed to be allowed to evolve. We can amend it more just like how 2A amended rights.

@PatriotQuarter @EdKrassen There’s no Constitutional amendment that addresses the “right to live without fear”. Nice try tho.

@shineKNEE_ @TJLang70 @actaeonixion You are focusing on the left hand which is a weak call that too many think was the hold when it was the right hand that you can’t see unless you see the side angle - for some reason they kept replaying the back angle instead of this:

@TJLang70 @actaeonixion What hold though... I don't even see his fingers move. He set his hand on him.

Don’t know what to tell y’all. You can’t grab the WRs hip to slow him down and slingshot yourself back into position. It’s a penalty.

@Selke37 @footballzebras To be honest I would have been fine if it wasn’t called. Chiefs would still kick a FG for a lead likely. Then it’s a what if on whether Eagles come back under 2 mins. Not ideal way to end it but even the Eagles CB admitted the hold.

@Selke37 @footballzebras Definitely a hold. But yes it didn’t seem to have a huge affect on the play. But it opens a rabbit hole in all calls in any NFL game. Why have the rule if we don’t enforce it heh.

Obviously very little restriction on this, and the uncalled DPI in the 1Q was a little more restrictive. Arm does come around, and we agree w/Mike Pereira that we don't have the angle the official had for a potential jersey tug. Given what I see, this would be one to pass on

@refhard2 @andrewdyer @footballzebras It’s not the still shot. It’s the viewing angle. Wish they would replay this camera/video angle because this is the hold, now the arm around the left hip most people are seeing into the news.

@andrewdyer @footballzebras Please STOP with still shots

@JWrestlingV2 Michigan came out flat and also spotted TCU 21 pts with two pick 6s and a goal line fumble. Defense also didn’t play their A game but can’t spot a team 21 pts like that.

What a sorry ass #CFBChampionship game. How TF did TCU beat Michigan with Michigan's defense and only score 7 points tonight? That whole TCU team should be ashamed of themselves for wasting all our time!

@Vasu Indeed. Lebron was locked in losing efforts in finals before heh. Wiggins low key a beast these finals too - defense, huge offensive rebounds and put backs today and 16 boards and +20

Steph Curry locked in during these #NBAFinals like I’ve only seen Jordan. Just another level. Incredible.

@VladimirPuntang ? It's not the front-page

@SamTheGeek @OscarHealth Best of luck in your next gig! I’m sure I’ll hear more about it soon!

@alexisohanian I imagine you have the resources to easily buy a whole set. Or are you enjoying the hunt.

@alexisohanian Wow the pain feels real just thinking about that if it were stolen from me as a kid. I keep them in plastic protectors or hard plastic boxes. Somewhere in my aunts basement. Wonder if it’d be PSA 10 since I never move them. Getting Black Spider-Man and Wolverine got me excited.

Fun catching up on some crypto & web 3.0 on this podcast with @mikedemarais. Congrats on the momentum with @rainbowdotme. I need to check it out bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@soffes You opted for the M1 Max 32 gpu? Thinking of returning my 14” Max & reorder with the Pro chip based on various reports of lower battery life. However I imagine if I can get 8-9 hrs good battery life with a max instead of 9-11 hrs on the Pro, that would be enough to keep the Max

We bought maxed out 14" 2TB for everyone at Along for this reason. Also who doesn't love a new laptop :)
