Trump will Taco. The tell is that his rhetoric gets increasingly deranged the worse things are going for him - that's how he negotiates. He has to make everyone believe he has genuinely lost the plot. If the Iranians think he's mentally unwell they might actually believe he'll nuke them. Hence why his tweets the past few days sound like a madman about to destroy their civilisation. He's not gonna drop a nuke, this is just how he negotiates when he has no actual leverage. He's trying to create leverage that doesn't exist by artificially creating what is most scarce: fear of consequence. I fully expect to wake up 8 hours from now to a headline something along the lines of 'we were so close to giving the orders, I called them and I said - listen listen we can always take them back to the stone age next week if we need to but I'm hearing good things - tremendous things - from the much more reasonable Iranians we've been speaking with. Excellent things. Very positive developments. And so I've informed my team to hold off on dropping the BIG bombs just a little longer. Let's see! PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP' And just like that stonks will rip and we'll be waiting until the market closes end of week for more aggressive escalations.

@_nateschwartz You prevented the ball from clearing the fence *safely

I will die on the hill if you end up on the other side of the wall with the ball, that should be a HR. you didn’t prevent the ball from clearing the fence

@hoosiercommish New stat — ump overturn percentage…

This rule absolutely rocks. Keeping the human element but humiliation shaming umps into being better

@BaseballWRLD_ Trout is 8 months older than Aaron Judge, why are we acting like he’s geriatric?

Mike Trout so far this season: Walk -> SB Walk Walk HR K 1B 1B HR WE MIGHT BE SO BACK

@jkylemann Ohhh 🇨🇦

a-list breakfast hot sauce

@tha_buffalo @BBGreatMoments So is Chicago…

@BBGreatMoments “Great lakes” Do these idiots not realize Cleveland is literally ON LAKE ERIE????

Potential MLB Realignment by MLB on FOX.

@NickAshbourne Plus – Barger is not solely and infielder (especially with all the RH pitching.

Did not see the Ty France resurgence coming, but the Blue Jays get a difference-making bat and a serviceable one while losing a seldom-used 5th OF and a scuffling RP. This is a better roster than the one that won the ALCS.

@allenanalysis Germany, famously a third world country with broadband holes, broke schools, and zero innovation.

I wish conservatives understood one thing: If it weren’t for blue states, the U.S. would be a third world country with broadband holes, broke schools, and zero innovation. Red states take the federal money. Blue states make it. You don’t fund the country, you drain it. Bad ideas. No revenue. And the loudest voices are always the ones who bring the least to the table.

@LaughingBrook @moniza_hossain What about the past tense of ‘lie’ like to ‘lie down’? That one gets me. It’s lay btw, not lied or laid.

@moniza_hossain The past tense of 'lead' (pr. LEED) is not 'lead' (LED), it is 'led'. 'Lead' pronounced "LED" is a soft, grey metal. (Fun story: as a kid, I would read 'misled' as "missiled". But I knew what it meant, and I knew the word 'misled'. It was a weird mental disconnect.)

I’m not very pedantic about language and grammar but the fact that no one seems to know the difference between pique and peak is really starting to worry me

@NotMeis95 @Kennedy_A @TheOGfantasy He essentially lined up as a wildcat QB, he averaged something like 50 carries and 0.5 passing attempts a game

@Kennedy_A @TheOGfantasy No need for a QB, should have just snapped it to him every drive

God Bless the youth football coach who said “you know what? I’m going to stick him at Running Back”

@OsheaJacksonJr x.com/brickscenter/s… One minute behind

All the same number wtf!?!?

@DrCosmar @Psy_ware This is not tortious interference at all. If the video is unaltered/genuine it doesn’t remotely meet the test.

This guy made a video bypassing a lock the company responds by suing him, saying he’s tampered with them. So he orders a new one and bypasses it right out of the box.

@Himothy7777 @treytrey1011 @DragonflyJonez 🎯

@treytrey1011 @DragonflyJonez I wonder why Buddy had so many great looks…

A Harden season ending stinker and a Steph season ending stinker in the same weekend was right in our grasp and both those dudes did exactly what they always do. One stunk it up. The other one turned it on.

@nametakenffss @randomdumbman @vevosuave @Ohmeezzy @ash4nd1021 Yes, this is just a lazy narrative. His at the rim numbers aren’t bad. And his hands are active and his sheer size makes him useful at the rim.

@randomdumbman @vevosuave @Ohmeezzy @ash4nd1021 Jokic provides no rim protection, is terrible in switches, and the Nuggets defense falls apart any time he's put in PNR. The only thing he's good at his holding his ground against post ups. It's genuinely impossible to have a top 10 defense with Jokic.

Hey so, why doesn’t Jokic get any of these conversations?

@mldiffley @Precision80 I thought Scott Foster is actually one of the most highly rated refs by actual accurate calls. The CP3 thing is something else

@Precision80 This and they need to fire ones who have a history of being terrible at their jobs (aka Tony Brothers/Scott Foster)

I think a way we can fix the Referees is to give teams the same referees for an entire series. That way, the calls are more consistent and players know how physical they are allowed to be

@maxboonen @esjesjesj @VincentOshanano

@DenisonBarbs @Acyn

@Acyn Yet they can wear eyeliner?

Watters: I have rules for men. Like you don't eat soup in public. You don't cross your legs. And you don't drink from a straw. His excuse was I was drinking a milk shake. Again, you shouldn't be drinking a milk shake. Milk shakes are for kids.

@LukeWebsdale @djacoby Lakers

@djacoby I'm all for it but didn't a team essentially do this on their own accord a couple years ago? Can't remember exactly who

This is the most brilliant idea in the history of sports. You’re welcome in advance.

@LOBig12 @aopaderf Are we factoring in how much he gets after tax? I would think it’s far less than a full $2M. Even ~1.2 after tax is not set for life…

@aopaderf it sets me, or anyone with financial intelligence, for life. put $1.5 million into a low-risk investment and ride off into the sunset.

i want to feel bad, but: • coleman hawkins made $2 mil in NIL this year. he’s 23. he’s set for life. yet fan noise made him play poorly? • NIL is out of control. he can’t really help the pressure it added. that is hard. but i’d also love $2 million.

@Gryph911 @SeamsRock @im_loveddd @Fejl3n @gerriminius @SenSanders This is something I find fascinating. The thought that everything needs to be “earned” and the chance that someone would be afforded any benefit without explicitly working for it is unconscionable.

@SeamsRock @im_loveddd @Fejl3n @gerriminius @SenSanders Why should the laziest of us have the same benefits as the people who bust their ass day in and day out?

I asked RFK Jr. a simple question:
