@OrevaZSN You could do jumping jacks in your front yard all day and rightfully never make a dime.

Billionaires don’t work a billion times harder than teachers or farmers. You don’t earn a billion dollars through hard work. That money comes from the ruthless exploitation of underpaid labor, where a small group of billionaires amasses grotesque, unjustifiable fortunes.

@DanielDiMartino @elonmusk @grok What percentage of violent crimes are committed by the worst 1% in the US?

It's actually 1% of the population that committed 63% of violent crimes, at least in Sweden.

@Local3News Concerning. Californians may be too preoccupied to assimilate into Chattanooga’s openness and warmth.

FROM CALI TO CHATT? More people are moving from California to Chattanooga than from any other state, according to a new study released by UTC. Florida tops the list of destinations of people moving out of the Scenic City area. local3news.com/local-news/cal…

@AndySwan @grok is it true that 1% of the USA population is responsible for 50% of crimes? If not, based on recidivism statistics, provide estimates that would make this statement more accurate.

You're much more of a slave to the 1% that commit 50% of crimes than you are to the 1% that create 40% of the wealth.

@GeorgeSells @JimBeam I’ve never met a Jim Beam drinker who cared about their health.

A sad day when one of our nation’s historic bourbon makers switches to a plastic bottle. Like we aren’t already drinking enough microplastics. Shame @JimBeam !

@AlibiOfTyrants @jeremymstamper 😂

@jeremymstamper No, thank God. I hate giving men baths.

Has this ever happened to you?

@ECoincidences @newschannelnine Now WTVC is covering Chattanooga weather without mentioning local weather in other states. Crazy propagandists, right?!? x.com/newschannelnin…

@GarrettSativa @newschannelnine Ummm they cover new york and cali news.... And call that their newing area Sir. I'm ummm do you see nonsense they post daily. I would call this news

A new trail linking the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park to downtown Chickamauga officially opened Friday: newschannel9.com/news/local/new…

@TimesFreePress Not surprising - Rossville seems to be a popular place for immigrants these days. PS. Since half the country wants illegal aliens to *stay* in the US, and feel strongly about it, I hope the officer you doxxed in the article stays safe.

The Tennessee-Georgia line, where Rossville Boulevard becomes Chickamauga Avenue, has become a risky section of pavement for people who are in the country without legal authorization. timesfreepress.com/news/2026/may/…

@ECoincidences @newschannelnine Are you real? Go outside and breathe fresh air and talk to some nice people. What does this Charlotte, NC crime have to do with Chattanooga or the new trail?

@newschannelnine Did I miss your reporting on this?.....x.com/i/status/20585…. I feel like I can't depend on you for shit but propaganda for anything you call viewing range as you brag about

@PerellClips “Complaining makes my dick soft.” ~ Tom Segura, referring to women

Indifference kills humor. Which is funnier: "This coffee is ok" vs. "This coffee is so bad even Dunkin' wouldn't serve it" Tom Segura explained this to me: "Being annoyed is funny. My seven-year-old is annoyed all the time, and he's hilarious. Sometimes I wonder, 'Why are you so annoyed?' Then he'll say something like, 'What's this table doing in the middle of the room? I keep running into it!' It's a funny perspective to be bothered by furniture. Complaining is definitely funny. What's not funny is total indifference. When it comes to being funny, you simply have to have an opinion.

@newschannelnine @grok Provide the URL for Chattanooga residents to purchase rain barrels from the city.

NEW: Chattanooga is encouraging residents to take a simple step at home to help keep local rivers and streams cleaner: install a rain barrel and get reimbursed for it: newschannel9.com/features/clean…

@macezeke @BowTiedBroke These don’t correlate. Perk tests apply to how well the soil drains near the surface. Wells often must be hundreds of feet deep.

@BowTiedBroke If a property percs good, would that mean the potential of a well is fairly good or is there no correlation?

Have a friend who bought a smaller sized land tract in East TN. 10 acres, paid $200,000. Looks great on paper. But…he didn’t call me for advice first 🤷‍♂️. Started building & at framing stage. Told me he has to stop. Well driller is 1,000 ft deep and STILL no water. I asked him “You didn’t go on TDEC (TN Dept of Enviro) website and look at any surrounding wells and their depths?!? You didn’t call 3-4 well drillers and ask if they’ve ever drilled on your road before and what their experience has been?” He just shook his head and said “Man, I f’ed up with this one.” For those who didn’t know, if you’re ever buying land or a lot to build on, always KNOW these 3 things: 1) What is the composition of the land under that first layer of dirt? More dirt or hidden rock? Dirt - good. Rock - bad. (Way higher clearing and excavation cost, plus major PIA to run conduit, install septic, run septic lines, etc. 2) Will the soil perc? (Percolation test that determines the septic size you can put on the property). Surrounding septic permit issuances can be found on most municipality websites. 3) Can you hit water? Most states provide perc info and well drilling info for surround parcels (if they’ve ever been drilled or perc’d). See these screenshots of wells drilled. RED IS BAD! Stay away from those areas. That means the well driller had to go really deep. What you also don’t see are surrounding lots who also went really deep and couldn’t hit water. Know another guy who paid a driller to drill in 4 different spots on his land. He was desperate because he paid a lot per acre for his land. Hit zero water all 4 times. What he paid for that land probably got cut in half with that info plus the cost he incurred with the driller. Always ask questions of the realtor or the owner (and do deep due diligence) before you sign that contract or those closing docs.

@CBSNews @grok explain what a Thucydides Trap is

When China's President Xi JinPing referenced the Thucydides Trap in his meeting with President Trump in Beijing yesterday, that subtle reference was likely lost on most people. But CBS News contributor Aaron MacLean explains how that rhetoric actually constitutes an aggressive statement about China's view that it is on the rise and America is declining; and that if America fails to make room for the rising nation, it could lead to inevitable war. @AaronBMacLean

@Revolvermag The weed-smoking juijitsu guys at my gym introduced me to it in 2007. Most recently listened to several Lateralus songs this morning on my TOOL Pandora station.

🌀 25 years ago today: TOOL released 'Lateralus.'⁠ ⁠ When did you first hear it? When did you last listen to it?

@BonillaJL Did anyone see last night’s East Coast broadcast - at the end someone off camera was in need of urgent medical attention and Dokoupil’s sign off was cut short.

WATCH: CBS's Tony Dokoupil completes his editorial to close out the West Coast Evening News broadcast. In a minute and a half, he runs through what the other nightlies omit- that China is going through the suck worse than the U.S. right now. The media hall monitors will surely throw a fit about it tomorrow. TONY DOKOUPIL: Finally, tonight from Taiwan: as President Trump and China's Xi Jinping prepare to meet, you will hear a lot about American decline and the rise of a powerful new China. The Chinese certainly believe it. But is it true? Xi’s China is a marvel by many measures, is- is the world's second largest economy, producing almost 30% of the world's manufactured goods. They have high speed rails that put the Acela to shame. And China has lifted millions of its citizens out of poverty, making things like the iPhones in your pocket and mine. And yet, America remains the innovation hub of the world. Made in China, yes; but designed and invented in the U.S.A. New drugs, new discoveries, new inventions, new space missions. Xi boasts of the country's industrial might, and it's impossible to deny that fact. China's population is in decline, though, well below replacement rates. Unemployment is high with millions in rural provinces living in poverty, and massive housing complexes that now sit empty. Most importantly, and perhaps I'm stating the obvious here, none of these problems are a topic on the Chinese evening news. In fact, pessimism itself is forbidden on the Chinese internet. The freedoms we have, they simply do not. That's another day in America and the world. I'm Tony Dokoupil, live from Taipei, Taiwan. Good night.

@Willy71343190 @newschannelnine Why do you have such strong opinions about the newsworthiness of unusually long lines at the Chattanooga airport?

@GarrettSativa @newschannelnine Newsworthy of what? Someone gets upset because they have to wait a few minutes? Boo hoo

HAPPENING NOW: A viewer just shared video showing long TSA security lines at Chattanooga's airport, saying it took her an hour to get through at about 5:30 Tuesday morning. We've reached out to the TSA for more details. Depend on us to keep you posted.

@HempMillionaire Your arrogance is also attention grabbing. For starters, businesses like Charlottes Web should most of the kudos for introducing Americans to CBD.

We got the cannabis isnt hemp crowd riled. Fuck the msos bros

@HempMillionaire Are you confessing to two years of federal drug trafficking crimes? Hemp was first legally allowed to be transferred across state lines in 2016.

I was the first hemp distributor in the United States when the 2014 pilot program started. I’m the reason CBD started moving heavy through vape shops before the mainstream caught on. I helped bring cannabinoids mainstream before most people even understood what they were. The anti-hemp, pro-corporate cannabis crowd didn’t build this industry. They showed up later with opinions. So I don’t care what they say now.

@Willy71343190 @newschannelnine Considering the Chattanooga airport security lines are usually short and fast, if the process takes more than an hour at 5:30AM, that is indeed news worthy.

@newschannelnine Leave it to wtvc to get their 5 viewers concerned over nothing because an airport passenger had to wait more than 5 minutes to get checked in at the Chattanooga airport
