Chat I want to know your thoughts on the card below.
I bought this card off X from a reputable seller and assumed it was NM since there was no mention of it being otherwise.
It was packaged well, BMWT, sandwiched between a card guard. I turn it over only to find this black dot (dried ink maybe & wouldn’t come off).
Should they have been transparent about this considering it was priced at market?
I wouldn’t have done this to a buyer but maybe they felt I should’ve asked for additional pictures. Guess I’ve gotta own not asking but it just seems shady to me.

@RoKhanna How do people this ignorant end up representing people far smarter?

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25.
As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense.
The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968.
Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x.
Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

@SolLunix What about the guy mentioned in the first sentence?

In 2012 a man bet his entire life savings on Bitcoin at $5 a coin.
In January 2012, Erik Finman was 12 years old
His grandmother gave him $1,000
He put all of it into Bitcoin
Bitcoin was trading at roughly $10 to $12 per coin at the time
He bought around 100 Bitcoin
His parents and teachers told him it was a waste
His high school teachers told him he was going nowhere
He made a bet with his parents
If he became a millionaire before turning 18 they would not force him to go to college
By 2013 Bitcoin hit $1,200 and his $1,000 had grown to around $100,000
He used some of the gains to start a small educational startup called Botangle at 13 years old
He sold Botangle in 2014 for 300 Bitcoin
At that point Bitcoin was around $200
That sale added 300 more coins to his stack at what turned out to be the cycle low
By 2017, when Bitcoin hit $18,000, Erik Finman was 18 years old
His Bitcoin was worth over $4 million
• He won the bet
• He never went to college
• His parents had to put it in writing
• He said in interviews that his teachers had told him he would end up working at McDonald's
At Bitcoin's peak in October 2025 at $126,198, his original 100 coins from the $1,000 investment would have been worth $12.6 million
His additional 300 Bitcoin from the Botangle sale would have been worth $37.8 million
$1,000 given by a grandmother
A 12 year old who believed his teachers were wrong
The teachers were wrong

I’m ready to provide an update to the entire sports community.
Earlier this year, with your voices behind me, you were able to help me land a meeting with Michael Rubin and the executive team from Fanatics.
I came in with an open book sharing fan frustrations, but I also walked out with a deeper understanding of the complexity behind the scenes and realized there is a lot of misinformation out there. It’s a pretty crazy business and it became clear that fans and leaders at Fanatics needed a direct line to each other. Not a one-way street, but a real back-and-forth dialogue. More of a boots on the ground, grassroots approach with fans all over the country, given that every city has a different fan culture and fandom within each team in every city is also different from the other.
When I shared this with Michael he liked the concept. He told me he had heard some similar sentiments from fans that he already regularly talks to and asked me to go back and expand further. So I started meeting with local sports businesses and fans in Boston, figuring out how to make this real. I knew we needed local community involvement, a network that could channel voices from fans everywhere, allow Fanatics to share progress updates in a regular way. Through many discussions and ideas we finally birthed our concept…The Fan Advisory Network
At the end of the day, the fans are the ones keeping the sports world spinning. We have the loudest voices out there, and we needed to figure out a way to have a real dialogue, not just a one-way street. I drafted a breakdown built around getting more direct local community involvement, fielding both the positives and the negatives from all fans, and allowing Fanatics to share progress updates with the community.
After submitting the action plan, I got the green light. Fanatics is moving forward with the Fan Advisory Network. I’ve spent the last several weeks behind the scenes turning the initial proposal into something real. We’re doing a planned regional rollout, starting in Boston and the Northeast, then spreading wider.
Three words drive everything we’re building: Community, Transparency, and Accountability. To make sure the sports community’s voices are heard while we properly grow the Fan Advisory Network, I’m stepping into a role with Fanatics as their first ever Community Leader. My primary focus will be on the Boston fandom and community. I work for you. The sports community.
Getting boots on the ground is what this whole initiative is about. As I work to build up the Fan Advisory Network in Boston, Fanatics is also looking to get more involvement from local fans across the globe to truly see success. The Fan Advisory Network is coming to your cities, and we want you to be a part of this movement. Let’s build something that creates serious change.
Fanatics will soon be launching an open call for Fan Advisory Network members in our first launch cities. Keep your eyes peeled for it and join in on adding your voice to the next chapter for Fanatics.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO!

@AMVitoff @planethunter56 So, like every other book in the "bible"?
English

@planethunter56 Be careful with all things associated with the Book of Enoch. The book wasn't actually written by Enoch, and it was written way after he existed. There's a reason that it's not part of the biblical canon, and that's because a lot of it is fiction. The book mixes truth with lies.
English

After listening to Tim Alberino on American Alchemy, I think I’m gonna take a deep dive into everything Enoch and Enochian. Some key words:
Enoch
Enochian
The Watchers
The Nephalim
Pre and post diluvian
And of course, there is that Immaculate Constellation author Matthew Brown visual mention of Enochian, isn’t there?

Ooooooo BUSTED‼️
NASA posted a “New” Photo of the Galaxy stating it was taken by the Artemis Crew on April 7, 2026
However, a reverse image search shows this is the same exact photo dating back to at least 2008.
Case closed. NASA is fake. We live in firmament. lol
Here is the link. Try it yourself.

Oh look… Artemis II kept their promise and took a photo of the stars for the kid who asked where all the stars were. I’m trying hard not to laugh lol

@JC_Texdude00 @JustAlyxCentral Its the same as the AEW/NJPW partnership. The only people upset were the IWC.
English

@JustAlyxCentral Plus I'm sure TNA is still sour on how their "partnership" with aew went the first time
English

We all knew the moment TNA partnered with WWE that anything involving AEW was going to be affected.
So nobody should be shocked that TNA wrestlers may be pulled from events where they were scheduled to face AEW talent. This was always the likely outcome, and no, that doesn’t make it right. It’s just the reality of how these partnerships work.
I just hope we still get Leon Slater vs Ricochet and MJF vs Nic Nemeth. Those are two matches I actually want to see, and they’ve already been advertised.

@Jimfrombaseball Is the original b&w (Marshall McLuhen would be proud) or in color?
I'm taking up colored pencil work: would love to do this in color as a side-by-side for my baseball scrapbook/wall.

"Jackie Robinson`s first hit in “white” baseball was a home run for the Montreal Royals.
The two base runners refused to wait to shake hands.
George "Shotgun" Shuba warmly welcomed Jackie Robinson at home plate by reaching out his hand and saying:
"That's the way to hit ’em, Jackie."
Art by James Fiorentino.
The "Amsterdam News", a black weekly in New York, called it “the most significant sports story of the century,” and said: “An unassuming but superlative Negro boy ascended the heights of excellence to prove the rightness of the experiment.”
George Shuba didn’t talk about his days as a Major Leaguer, nor did he hang memorabilia from his career on the walls of the house.
Instead, Shuba took boxes that had carried a Maytag washer and dryer and filled them with his bats, jerseys, balls and plaques. George Shuba then stuck those boxes in the back corner of the basement.
But there was one exception to his “no memorabilia” rule.
The photo of George Shuba's handshake with Jackie Robinson, hung on the family living room wall for the rest of George Shuba’s life.
His son Mike didn’t know what the photo meant, until the day he had to face his father after a dust-up with another youngster at kindergarten.
George Shuba sat his son down and told him to look up at the photo on the wall.
“I want you to remember what that photo stands for.
You treat all people equal.”
“By him hanging that picture on the wall when he came home to raise his family, he knew that it could be used to teach his kids a valuable lesson in life.”
Mike Shuba.

@JWIGGY301 @Pittsburgh1Pete To be fair, there is little to no difference between Advance Auto and AutoZone. Literally all of their products come from the same vendor, with diff labels.
English

@Pittsburgh1Pete Get away from anything and everything made by Fram. Walmart oil changes are literally worse than what you can do by yourself. It's pretty simple and only takes 10 minutes. AutoZone is another bad place to buy anything. Stick to Napa Auto Parts or Advanced Auto
English

Today has been annoyance after annoyance.
Go to Walmart for oil change. They are out of my oil and FRAM apparently went out of business.
Go to autozone to get the oil and filters. Have half of what I needed, go to another, buy all the crap to just do it myself, get home to do it, and the last idiot put the oil plug on so tight it needs an electric tool.
I think I’ll just have a drink and chalk this up as a loss

@MichaelButtonX For the most part, we will all be gone before anyone truly figures it out. And the next time around wont be much different.

Vegan: "I soak my quinoa for 12 hours to reduce saponins."
Me: "I fed my quinoa to a cow for 18 months."
Vegan: "That's not how..."
Me: "The cow has four fermentation chambers that processed the antinutrients through 200 litres of specialized bacterial digestion, then converted the amino acids into perfect bioavailable protein with zero lectins, phytates, or oxalates."
Vegan: "But..."
Me: "I call it beef. It's pre-digested plant nutrition without the defensive chemicals. Highly recommend."

J Cole disses Kendrick Lamar on "THE FALL OFF" 😳🚨
"Conscious Crown turned corporate lock, turnin spirit into stock"
"I respected your art, your fight, your creed
But respect ain’t mutual when you treat brothers like debris"
"Ain't no IG posts or features in support from Mr Morale ironic your labelmates need uplifting, Higher powers at play in your favour, now you grip the keys you stole from the boy into the machine"
"Your disses were focus group approved, engineered from the top, timed for streams every bar got a metric to prove"

@NinaByzantina Im still trying to figure out how "half of a class was women" turned into "half of the women of this country, were this class"
English

This is a great little case study on how the media works.
The claim: HALF OF THE WOMEN IN JAPAN WERE SAMURAI! GROUNDBREAKING!
To ensure that you’re thinking that they were warriors in the battlefield, The Independent shows you a nice photo of samurai armor, on top of what you already know about the samurai from modern pop culture. At this stage, you’re primed to wipe your tears thinking about girl power in unexpected places (or get angry about). And, of course, many people only look at the headline, to begin with.
What the article actually says:
“The mercenary group developed into a rural gentry and by 1615 they had moved away from the battlefield to serve as government officials, scholars, and patrons of the arts.
It is here where half of the samurai class were women and although they did not tend to fight they were a vital part of the elite order, playing a key role both on and off the battlefield.”
In other words, by the time of the Tokugawa shogunate, between the early 1600s and the late 19th-century imperial restoration, the warrior class served various *administrative roles* employed by the government.
So, a bunch of women, likely in privileged social positions, worked for the government. That’s cool, I guess, considering the rigidity of the Japanese social structure in terms of the hierarchy and the gender/sex-based roles. But that’s not what they wanted us to think.
Furthermore, this is clearly more than simply clickbait. It’s *deliberately* misleading. And if a seemingly benign article on Japanese history is misleading, imagine how misleading hot political topics may be.

We're hearing Ghislaine Maxwell is planning to plead the 5th at her deposition on Monday.
When a convicted sex trafficker pleads the fifth it isn’t about about self-incrimination any more, it’s self-preservation and not wanting to cross the rich and powerful people she trafficked these children to.
The American people deserve to know their names. They deserve to be investigated. And they should rot in jail.
