In 1987 we got the famous Nerf TURBO Football.
You did not throw it, no, you launched it.
I heard one kid in New Jersey launched his to INDIA or something.

Jeff Bezos: why taxing billionaires will not solve any of the problems we have.
"You could double the taxes I pay and it's not going to help that nurse in Queens. I promise you. You can't connect those two things. Not logically."
"A nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes. We shouldn't be asking her to send money to Washington. They should be sending her an apology."
"We can find 3%. We don't have a revenue problem. We actually have a spending problem."
Bezos says AI won't cause unemployment. It's going to cause a labor shortage.
"There are so many smart people saying, 'Oh my god, there's going to be no more radiologists, no more software engineers.' These people are wrong."
"You've been digging a basement for your house with a shovel and somebody's about to hand you a bulldozer. You should be so happy."

Jeff Bezos' latest interview is insane. He revealed that: • AI will elevate everyone. • 99% of billionaire wealth is stock. • Taxing billionaires more solves nothing. Along with 9 more facts that'll leave you speechless (THREAD): 1. Business impact > philanthropy

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life
“It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again”
“It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused”
“I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

TIM DILLON on the Thomas Massie election:
"I don't know how you run a country where people can just dump $32 million into a race"
"What it's showing you is that if you spend enough money, you can just create any reality you want"
"No one knows who the hell the other guy is"
"This guy [Massie] who's like, 'Release the Epstein Files. Hold people accountable. Prosecute pedophiles. Get out of foreign wars,' that guy loses to a guy who's like, 'Let's cover up the Epstein Files, let's not prosecute pedophiles, let's go to war, with your kids'"
"You would think just platform to platform that's a tough sell"
"[Gallrein] was just handpicked. Came out of nowhere"
"[He] was like, we gotta get kids back into the military. We gotta get them to Iran. Now. Now, you would think that's probably not a super popular idea—let's bring back the draft"
"However, if you spend enough money in American politics, you can create any reality you want"

@HamDawg115 Just think as TE1, he will shine. Great dude. Better story.

@JasonMacdavid He's been under looked a lot. He's still really good.

Lawson Luckie might not have the eye popping production (he played behind Oscar Delp and split reps with Elyiss Williams). But overall Luckie is a top 10 national, top 3 in the SEC tight end.
Georgia has a LOADED tight end room. Lawson is incredibly talented and will be TE1 at Georgia this season.

The Best Tight Ends In College Football Ahead Of The 2026 Season! We have some really scary size/speed combinations at the position this year, and Texas Tech, LSU, and Oregon have electric offenses without these guys😳 should be a fun offensive year for those squads👀 As usual, put me on to any names I may be sleeping on🗣👇

@24hoursMMA He just contradicted himself. EPO makes you go on forever. His durability has nothing to do with that. A guy that gets hurt cause of power shots is different to getting hurt cause you're just exhausted and just wanna give up

As someone who went to school in Athens and worked in Clemson, not playing a home-and-home between these two is a CRIME. A forgotten border war rivalry should be played between the hedges and near the lake!
Hunter Johnson@BurnerLJohnson
Clemson and Georgia are located 59 miles from each other. Them potentially playing in Dallas is possibly the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard of in college athletics, and that’s saying a lot.

@atlurbanist 🎯🎯🎯 STG every post I see about traffic is in th Grady curve at 8am. Like no sh*t Buddy. Water is also wet.
English
Posts about ATL traffic often use images of the Downtown Connector.
Face it: politically & financially, there is zero chance the Connector will be expanded or double-decked.
The way forward is decreasing car trips + increasing transit/bike/ped trips + building walkable places.

Metro Atlanta ranks as the 8th worst U.S. metro for traffic, with commuters spending an average of 31 minutes each way in some of the nation’s most congested roads.

The finale of The Wire (2002) is perfect precisely since it refuses to offer real closure or redemption. The institutions keep moving, the corners stay the same, new faces replace the old ones, and the cycle just continues without sentimentality.

@BudElliott3 @HazzardCoEng Nah. Bud is right. I’m in Metro Atlanta. We had a choice during pandemic. Online or in person. Many places did not have even an online option.

@HazzardCoEng I think you missed where you have a ton of kids who start kindergarten at six in my original thing
English
One challenge I haven't heard people talk about yet is that we are seeing some high school prospects who are turning 20 before prom because they started kindergarten at 6 (especially boys, for whom that's actually shown to be a major advantage academically) and then they were in a state that didn't have school during COVID, resulting in them repeating a grade. I think that's a pretty obvious challenge here, and one that maybe they've already factored in, but we will see about another six or seven years of prospects with that profile coming through the pipeline.

O CEO da Bolt demitiu todo o departamento de RH da empresa, dizendo que eles criavam problemas que não existiam.
Depois, disse que os problemas desapareceram quando essa galera foi embora.
Ele substituiu o RH por uma equipe pequena de “People Ops” focada apenas em operações básicas (contratos, folha de pagamento etc.).
Essa galera woke é tão burra que cavou a própria cova enchendo o saco de todo mundo.

@financedystop We gotta stop acting like the economy is fine. It’s not even ok.
English
Restaurants are usually one of the first industries to get hit during a recession. When people get tight on money, eating out is one of the first things they cut.
A surprisingly good indicator is whether your local Texas Roadhouse has a wait on a Friday night. If there’s still a line out the door, the economy is probably doing alright.
