Today vs the last time I watched Tennessee play football…

@ingelramdecoucy @MLB @Rangers I want Tony Vitello back

@MLB @Rangers I miss him so much, just want him back

Andrew McCutchen's first hit as a member of the @Rangers 💪 #OpeningDay

@SenWarren It has already been taxed you vampires.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@LibertarianG0th This is still champion

That’s quite the headline. apnews.com/article/quadru…

I grew up in Cleveland OH (Shot, Drive, Fumble) Lived through OSU Cooper era. But i have gotten to experience 3 Natties. If the buckeyes ever have a rebuilding year, i hope you can experience it together. I watched 2002(3) Natty with my late great-uncle, with whom I had watched a lot of bad football in my life to that point.

@KnifeTruth Honestly the kids got it easy being born into Dan Lanning era🤣

Today is my sons first birthday 🥹

@BBGreatMoments We used to be a proper country

In Oakland they used to have a mechanical ball bucket that would rise from the ground when the umpires needed new pearls.

@r0ck3t23 @KLeBlan00678782 I am not an Elon-Stan but I admire the man. He seems much less misanthropic than his peers.

Kevin O’Leary worked directly for Steve Jobs. Sat across from him. Watched the process at point-blank range. Then told you there is only one person on Earth who exceeded him. O’Leary: “The only other person that I’ve seen that has a higher ratio than that is Elon Musk. He has no noise. He is 100% signal.” Jobs ran 80/20. Eighty percent signal. Twenty percent noise. That ratio built the most valuable consumer brand in history. Changed phones. Changed music. Changed computing. Eighty percent was enough to reshape entire industries. Musk runs at 100. Not low noise. Zero. Every waking second aimed at the objective. No detour. No drift. No performance. O’Leary has sat across from thousands of founders. The most driven people on the planet. He found one who operates at that frequency. One. But the comparison does not flatter Jobs the way you think it does. O’Leary: “Not a nice guy. Not a nice guy.” Jobs would walk into a room and make every voice in it irrelevant before he opened his mouth. O’Leary: “I don’t give a shit what the students want or the parents think or anybody thinks. It’s what I want. They don’t know what they want till I tell them what they want.” When O’Leary pushed back, Jobs had one response. O’Leary: “Then fucking shut up and do what I say.” Total control. My vision. Your obedience. It worked. Nobody alive disputes that. But it worked inside a ceiling. Consumer electronics. Software. Design. One company. One product line at a time. Musk operates at 100% signal across six companies in six different industries simultaneously. Jobs demanded obedience to his taste. Musk demands obedience to physics. Jobs told the room what to think. Musk listens to the engineer closest to the problem, because that person holds the variable that changes the equation. He does not walk in and silence the room. He walks in and interrogates it. A blown prototype at SpaceX is not failure. It is data. A missed deadline is not a lack of effort. It is proof the timeline was aggressive enough to force invention. Jobs demanded control and got beautiful products. Musk demands exploration and gets rockets that land themselves, cars that drive themselves, and chips that think for themselves. The difference is not temperament. It is scale. Jobs changed how people use technology. Musk is changing whether the species survives. Most people have not caught up to what that sentence means. AI is rewriting every industry on the planet. Truth itself is becoming negotiable. This is the window. Wrong hands at the controls and open society does not recover. Musk bought a platform and turned it into a public square. He is building the AI. The energy. The rockets. The satellites connecting the planet. The robots that will reshape labor. The media calls him reckless. Dangerous. Uncontrollable. They are right about one of those. He is uncontrollable. By them. He does not answer to editorial boards. Does not answer to regulators who want to slow the future to a pace they can manage. Does not answer to competitors who would rather he stopped building so they could catch up. He answers to physics. To timelines. To the math of a species that does not get a second attempt. The rarest combination on Earth is not intelligence and drive. It is intelligence, drive, and the willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. Jobs built a company people loved. Musk is building the floor beneath a civilization that has not noticed the ground is shifting. 100% signal. Zero noise. History is not going to produce this combination twice. It was not supposed to produce it once.

To paraphrase William F Buckley, I’d rather be governed by the first 100 plumbers on Angie’s List than the US senate. Also, Jimmy Kimmel is such a dick.

@instapundit Better than dead puppies…

Why is X's "for you" algorithm feeding me nothing but leftist and pro-Iran slop?

@AnalRailGun @JustElliot2 @BColon40 Fair nuff

@JustElliot2 @BColon40 @KnifeTruth *laughs in Ohtani*

Let pitchers hit again.

@Twidoit @ItsLeland Otherwise, fuck the giants.

@KnifeTruth @ItsLeland That's the only reason I want him to succeed. I don't give a shit about the Giants, but I don't want him coming back to coach Arkansas or at another school. Outside of that I don't care at all if the Giants lose every game

Blocking and muting all S*nfranciso Gi*nts tweets and content. I hope they lose every game.

@xbradtc @JoeC1776 Solid argument tbh.

Anyone who thinks that our enemies don’t know this probably also thinks that the US didn’t have a plan for Iran closing Hormuz.

@GrayConnolly @iowahawkblog Evergreen 🌲

Always relevant @iowahawkblog rule

@BOC_Gamecock Obviously

Gotta disagree with Tennessee’s output Corn won’t grow at all on Rocky Top. Dirt’s too rocky by far

@seanmdav I will never be this desperate for clicks or comments.

Dunno who needs to hear this, but Nickelback was actually pretty great and way too many of you were psyopped and e-bullied into believing otherwise.

@ingelramdecoucy @BonnieBlueTK The Episcopal Church left me

For a lot of you younger folk this will be the first major schismatic event you’ve been around to witness, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out as the various chunks of the global Anglican Church react to this
