That’s What Cheesehead

The #Cowboys traded for Rashan Gary, but that deal is not official either. Do they cancel it and jump back in on Maxx Crosby? The ripple effects are crazy.

@AndyHermanNFL RB to himself on his way out the door: “They’re not gonna have ol’ Rich to (inaccurately) kick around anymore.”

So Rich wanted out of Green Bay to go to the same job at Clemson. Very interesting.

@JClipperton_CP They’re soooo used to judges handing them unearned gold medals. I guess he thinks they’ll do it again…

A gutted Nathan MacKinnon: "You be the judge of who was the better team today."

@cabot_phillips Don’t worry. I’m sure their bias is just transitory…

How CNN frames 6% inflation under Joe Biden vs. 2.7% inflation under Donald Trump.

The reason that I do not see this as a foregone conclusion (even if I fully expect it to happen) is because Matt on the open market get an extremely lucrative 4 year - $60+ million ish deal & will have leverage to ask for that in GB. And based on recent results, GB could have no appetite for that type of deal. Just because both sides want to get it done, doesn't mean that they can find common terms, and I actually think it's a very difficult middle ground to come to terms with, unless GB is all-in, no questions asked with Matt and give him the exact extension he's looking for.

@Acion_Next @UAPWatchers It’s not a story he’s written in his head. He’s relating the origin story of the alien in the movie K-Pax which is played by Kevin Spacey and being told to a therapist played by Jeff Bridges. It’s close to 25 years old.

@UAPWatchers You should post the full clip. Because right after Tim Allen finishes this "story" that he's written in his head (about the vibrational interdimensional beings that shows humanity the importance of Jupiter and Saturn)....Bill Maher quickly changes the subject.

🚨Tim Allen & Bill Maher: The Most Rational Take on UFOs Isn't the One You're Told to Laugh At Tim Allen and Bill Maher drifted into territory that rarely survives late night conversation without being flattened into a joke and yet what emerged was one of the more coherent public reflections on the UFO question...

@HaydenWinks Every team deals with injuries and mistakes like this. The Bears lost their D green dot in the first half, even. Not every team blows an 18-point lead. LaFleur is no stranger to playoff collapses. It’s his hallmark in GB, and he cut his teeth doing it in Atlanta (28-3).

LaFleur's offense, which he calls play for (!!!), had an 85th percentile outing per EPA per play. Did LaFleur's coaching make his kicker miss 3x? Did his coaching make Parsons, Kraft, Jenkins, Tom, Wyatt get injured? Did the punt gunner get smoked because of him? Come on.

There’s no way this coaching staff stays as is next year!?!

I guess we finally know who the culprit was in Atlanta’s 28-3 collapse… Until Matt LeFleur is gone, I’m not watching anymore. I can’t take it. The blown second half is more predictable than the cycles of the moon.

@torreydawley Summed up by Samurai’s as “Better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.” Be the gentle person capable of necessary violence sociopaths can naturally sense to avoid.

How can good people win with peaceful acts when evil people will wage violence without hesitation? The math is impossible. Words, gestures, kindness, forgiveness... All snuffed out in a moment against violent actions. There is no rational argument against this. The only thing that will ever stop a bully in the acute moment is a stronger bully. Most people don't want to be bullies. And most people never have to be, because they live under the protection of a bigger bully working on their behalf. In fact, all peace and prosperity is a result of a "benevolent bully" willing to do what decent and comfortable men are unwilling to do in order to prevent evil men from consuming them all. This sense of security emboldens those unwilling to take action themselves to believe that the rules of our corporeal reality are not governed by "might makes right." That, somehow, we are separate from the reality in which the lion eats the gazelle alive, the gazelle rips the plant's roots from the ground, and the plants crowd out the sun and kill the smaller greenery below. That, somehow, we can organize societies in such a way to eradicate the existence of bullies in the first place. As if 6% of the population isn't perpetually sociopathic and, therefore, driven by motives that good people can never rationalize or even understand. Again, the only loopholes to this simple math equation exist at the meta level. The Existential Plane. "Enlightenment." They rely on concepts like a "spiritual realm" or "collective consciousness" that are either exempt from the math or that believe it can be swayed somewhere other than the real and tangible soil upon which real and tangible blood has been spilled countless times in human history. These beliefs are viable in times of peace, when the true equation of our reality is not ever-present. They fall apart immediately when the mother is prompted to defend her child to the death. I'm reminded this morning of the familiar painting of Washington crossing the Delaware. In a time of relative peace, we look upon this painting as a symbol of triumph of good over evil. Of freedom over oppression. Of peace and prosperity over tyranny. And, yet, few know that this painting depicts a general leading his men across a river in order to kill his enemies in their sleep on the evening of Christmas. So, who is the real hero? The martyr? The one whose lessons only apply in future times of peace, long after they're dead and the tyrants who murdered them continued to wage hell on the people? Or the benevolent bully. The one capable of recognizing sociopathic demons and fixating his efforts on destroying them so killing stops across the board? For me, I can't help but find value in every lesson. After all, there's no sense in creating more bullies during times of peace. So, the pacifist is directionally correct. I'm reminded of the lesson in the Tao that goes something like this: "In warfare, when many lives have been taken, victory should be marked with mourning and lamentation, as if attending a funeral." I'm reminded of the Non Aggression Principle. That aggression is detestable as a concept, but necessary if aggressed upon, lest any man believe he can win through aggression. One thing I'm sure of: If you're not willing to fight for it yourself, you don't believe in it. If you are willing, your actions should aim at preventing the need to fight at all. If done right, the 94% of the population who are good and decent people can keep the sociopaths in check. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only math equation that leads to the least amount of violence across the board.

The irony of this coming right before Caleb’s under-thrown pass to a wide open guy in the endzone was picked off to end the game… @OldTakesExposed

Back in January Ben Johnson took a shot at Matt LaFleur in his very first Chicago press conference. I hope every single Green Bay Packers Captain reminds each other. Coach LaFleur always stands at that podium taking blame. It's time for this team to take this personal.

@AaronNagler I wonder if having 12+ starters on limited/non-participation every freaking week has anything to do with never being prepared to play at the start of games… Sure looks like the players can interpret his approach as “preparing all week is optional.”

Matthew Golden headed the wrong way on the injury report

@GovBraun What are you talking about? The HQ is literally across the street from the State House. Has been there for over a decade. They never left. Are you just so busy, you haven’t bothered to look out the window? Can’t miss it. It’s the one with the giant “SIMON” on the front and back.

I am pleased to welcome Simon Property Group back to Indiana. My administration is committed to working with companies like Simon to ensure our pro-growth environment is welcoming to businesses who want to invest in Hoosiers.

@torreydawley Read American Gods by Neil Gaiman. They also made it into a TV series. It’s a fictionalization of your point.

Brands are the new gods. My 20+ year career as a Brand Strategist has made this crystal clear to me. If you don't believe it, just watch how quickly people whore their souls out to: - Corporations - Politicians - Bureaucrats - Sports teams - Household names - Social media platforms - Anything that can be given a name and catchphrase Once you see this, you can never unsee it.

Like father, like son…

@RyanKennedy_22 Considering research shows an increase in heart attacks and strokes following Daylight Savings in the Spring, I imagine it isn’t just in people’s heads.

I'm so curious where y'all live that this time change is effecting you so much?

@MikeStillBTC “Costs nothing to make.” Meanwhile it’s measured in hashes. The literal energy expenditure to mine BTC. Every asset in the world is valued based on the cost to produce it. As the energy required to mine a single coin goes up and the $ value of that energy increases, BTC goes up.

How did I not see this before. Bitcoin doesn't exist. It's just internet points. How could I have been so stupid? Selling it all to buy gold. Gary Stevenson has clearly done his due diligence. Listen to this man and you can't go wrong.

@Boenau @RedAlertFlorida So you think tax-payer funded government resources should be allotted on a pay-per-use/pay-for-use system? What a funny thing for a Leftist to say. It’s almost as if you’re advocating for a government operating a command economy, aka communism.

In all 50 states, in blue or red cities, I think people should pay for stuff they use. I do not think taxpayers should have to chip in for the travel expenses of people who put way more wear & tear on roads. I'm asking why you, as a conservative patriot, support the current transportation funding model? This isn't vague or rhetorical. NYC congestion pricing isn't suddenly a free market but it's based on supply/demand economics. The fact that self-described conservatives refuse to see that is baffling.

"People told us they left their cars at home and took transit for the first time." This is the way.

@JoshMiles I actually happened to text it to Torrey earlier. x.com/interesting_ai…

@Kyle_TheUpside That’s amazing!

Scammers would be far more successful if they simply toggled spellcheck on.
