@cdott_x Growth is in global. He's got a very US vibe. Ant is 15-20 too late. Would have been a lot bigger. Def my favorite guy to watch. So explosive.

Sometimes I wonder how is Ant not the NBA golden boy? - Ethical hooper - Physical freak - Plays through injuries - Electric personality - American - won US Gold - Came from nothing - Making a small market team relevant Am I missing something? He is everything you want in a star

@jappleby Wait so i'm not going to get jacked doing Thai Chi?

Man, I’m really worried about consumers. Not everyone’s tech savvy enough to know this ad is completely AI, and they’re not actually showing the product they’re selling. AI ads are going to really take advantage of people.

@chamath He won’t. This is fun social media clips and all but Bass beat Caruso who was far more qualified than Pratt. The CA machine doesn’t lose.

Spencer Pratt is coherent and reasonable. If he becomes LA’s next mayor he will return that city to safety and greatness. Please watch the entire debate and judge for yourself.

I’m learning French on Duolingo! It’s free, fun, and effective.

@JeremyTate41 He will be forgotten shortly after his graceful death. Heroic struggle aside he’s a nothing in the grand scheme of political history.

Ben Sasse’s maiden speech in the Senate back in 2014 broke the Internet, 1000 years from now he will likely be regarded as our Cicero.

@BrianRoemmele How sad. I fondly remember those billboards.

A Faded Memory. Andersen's Pea Soup Restaurant opened in 1924, founded by Danish immigrant Anton Andersen and his wife Juliette. Originally a small roadside stand along what became U.S. Route 101, it grew into one of the most well-known stops in California. During the Great Depression, the business struggled until Juliette added split pea soup to the menu. It was simple, affordable, and filling and it ended up saving the restaurant. From there, it became a destination. By the 1930s-1960s, this was a major stop for travelers between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Tour buses lined the parking lot, families planned trips around it, and the restaurant served hundreds of people daily. The location became known for more than just food. Danish-style architecture, a windmill, gift shops, and the mascots Hap-Pea and Pea-Wee made it a full roadside attraction. Billboards across California counted down the miles until you arrived. For decades, it remained busy and became part of California road trip culture. But as highways improved and travel became faster, fewer people stopped. Over time, the crowds declined. Today, the building still stands, but the activity that once filled it is gone. What was once a packed destination is now a decaying reminder of our great past.

@AdamMacVicar @GlobalCalgary I’m pretty pleased so far.

Poll shows 44% of Calgarians feel positive about Mayor Farkas while many remain unsure globalnews.ca/news/11804649/…

@TACollege What a blessing. So happy to see this.

@JoshInnesShow Is the pod on sabbatical or do you intend to do some episodes soon? Looking forward to some takes!

As I said, I get the annoyance. My criticism is more about the idea that there were two big games.

@docMJP How did the Youtube numbers compare to a typical Blaze Show? Seems like it was getting a solid 17-20K a show.

I’ve seen a lot of you speculate about this over the last six months. It’s absolutely wild to me that Blaze just canceled the show and said nothing to you all. And since people are still talking about it half a year later, a few points: 1. Yes, it’s very likely that Congressman Mills tried to pressure Blaze behind my back. The FBI certainly did, but regarding other issues—at least, I have no specific knowledge of the FBI ever trying to kill the Mills stories. But I would be surprised if Mills himself didn’t try to exert pressure in multiple ways. That’s how he operates. 2. I think just before and/or after the first article came out Mills may have tried to call Glenn Beck and complain but to my (admittedly, thirdhand) knowledge this went nowhere. I have no specific knowledge that Mills or his proxies contacted Blaze execs or other company leaders, however, or that anything Mills did or said led in any way to the end of the show and myself and Jill’s departure. 3. It must be said that Blaze DID, in fact, publish the Cory Mills investigative series, although, sure, internally there was some discomfort with it. But put this in context: most right-leaning media outlets wouldn’t touch it at all. 4. If I ever HAD clear evidence that Mills did have something to do with my departure or the show suddenly ending, you can bet everything you own that I would do quite a bit with that information. And you would eventually know about it.

@mtracey I don't think there would have been outrage if she was still at the athletic but maybe there was concern about journalistic integrity to some high brow types.

What’s the problem here? Who cares? Nation of hysterical gossipy neo-puritans!

Orban looking like he will get crushed. #IranWar & his Israel supporters were last straws to his defeat.

@davidleebron Great house for the money and generally pretty good jobs. Soo sprawling though. I don't think many go there with the intent to career and retire there. Career there and dip.

I often say that Houston is the most misunderstood city in North America. Maybe more people are moving here because it’s getting better understood. It’s a pragmatic city, politically balanced, a center for innovation and has an extraordinary philanthropic community that supports great parks, first class museums and outstanding performing arts. And it has institutions that are constantly seeking to understand its problems and opportunities and the path to improvement, like the @RiceKinderInst and @GHPartnership. houston.innovationmap.com/houston-metro-…

@ForecasterEnten I think alot of Trumps now fractured coalition doesn’t identify as republican. Wonder if this number means what is implied or is a sign of a shrunken coalition.

Tucker Carlson has been in absolute free fall among the GOP. His net favorable has dropped by 47 points. Meanwhile, Trump crushes Tucker among the GOP. Trump's net favorable is 54 pts higher than Carlson's. When you up against Trump, you in the grinder to quote Good Burger.

@rachelangbato @walterkirn What historical precedent do you feel is not appreciated by the “podcast bros”?

The thing is, Iran as a people, history, and culture are vastly different from Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans, in their ignorance have no clue about this, and also don’t bother learning from the actual Iranian voices who are shouting this. Every war that takes place in the future is not Iraq simply by default, or because it takes place in the vicinity of the Middle East. We must take responsibility to educate ourselves outside of the podcast bro world and understand that we live in a complex global system, and just because we want to live in a utopian world of Never War doesn’t mean the evil actors are going to suddenly stop their violence and terrorism. In fact, that would stimulate them to do the opposite.

I'm concerned we are falling into a trap with exaggerated, social media driven hysteria over the Iran conflict.

@Ask_Lou @walterkirn Seems to be the line where it gets more 50/50 and the older you skew there is far more support for it.

@BenAlme1da @walterkirn What if you are 51? Less offensive?
