@MoronPundit 84 in Seattle would be like 97-100 in a lot of places. Brutal humidity.

I just heard the World Cup commentator talking about how brutal the temperature in Seattle, WA is. LOL. It's 84 F. Pretty hot for Seattle but... not hot.

@AtletiMinuto80 @IvaanBlanco26 Love that you guys love our stadium!! In Seattle we are known for being the loudest fans in the NFL and MLS — they call us the home of the 12th man because we are so loud it’s like having another player. Friday vs Australia is going to be insane!! Appreciate the love!! Cheers 🍻

@IvaanBlanco26 Ahí estuve en octubre y aproveché para ver NFL. Buen estadio y se llega andando fácil y rápido desde el centro. Justo detrás tiene el estadio de béisbol.

Me flipan los estadios de EEUU. Este de Seattle mola muchísimo.

@KingGeorge2200 The punter for our Seattle Seahawks is from Australia! Michael Dickson! Hope you’re enjoying the city — definitely going to be a great match on Friday!! Cheers 🍻

Great to get an extra game in Seattle, #Belgium v #egypt. Last minute ticket cost $460 USD on resale. Stadium full, drinks $25USD a pop. If Australia get either team in next round, I’d be confident. #FIfaWorldCup #FIFAWORLDCUP2026

@FrencHMonTanA Dude, good on you French!!

somebody find him for me so we can help him get back on his feet

@IanDarke Hey Ian, which game will you be on next? And for good times sake, can we get a “distribution…brilliant” again sometime? Absolutely love you on the call!!

Tremendous effort by tiny Curacao and see the tears of emotion from the Blue Wave fans in Houston. Scoring against Germany ! What a moment. Loved their approach to a ‘ mission impossible ‘ .

Josh Hokit won the biggest fight of his career at the White House and decides to finish his interview by calling Michelle Obama a Man. What a disgrace. It takes a really small man to use his biggest moment to attack a woman by calling her a man. Especially with the history behind calling black women men.

Gotta be honest, this @ufc event at the White House looks spectacular. This is a big time show. I’m not there, and we all know all the complaints folks had about renovations at and around the White House, etc, but — to be fair — this is some impressive stuff I’m looking at. Props to UFC President @danawhite and the show they’ve put on. It’s Bigtime. Plain and simple!!!

@hoosiers_champs @Elex_Michaelson The fact that we don’t know Elex’s politics is what makes him a great reporter.

@Elex_Michaelson Alpha males will love it. Beta males will be bothered. @Elex_Michaelson what are your thoughts? You usually respond. Alpha? Beta? No answer tells me.

What’s your reaction to UFC at the White House in one word?

@Elex_Michaelson I should also add that I thought the comment about Michelle Obama was disgraceful, especially at the White House. That was just sad, but no one really cheered, so that is good.

@Elex_Michaelson I am a raging moderate, voted for D’a & R’s in the last decade, and at first I was a little skeptical of it, but I think it was pretty awesome! I mean what a finish—the most American thing ever!!! So I give Trump credit here, and I didn’t vote for him in 2024 🇺🇸

@Hadas_Gold It was on a Friday…Dario could have been on a “wellness retreat” i.e. tripping on shrooms lol

There’s obviously quite the narrative war rn between what admin side says happened and what anthropic says…was Dario had to reach? Was there a refusal to do anything? (Source close to anthropic says no). There are real issues to figure out around how to secure these frontier models… but it also seems like parts of gov just don’t like anthropic

@AdamRy_n Love this!

Aldon Smith passed away this weekend. Most people are talking about his incredible ability, potential, and performance as a football player. Even though that is all true. He was so much more than that. He was a great friend and his kindness changed my life forever. I met Aldon our freshman year at Mizzou. He was redshirted and relatively unknown as an athlete. His giveaway was the biggest hands you'll ever see and his ability to dunk at 250lbs, but his size in many ways didn't match his personality. He was relatively quiet and in most scenarios would try to shrink into the room vs stand out in it. Over the course of the next year, we became close. We were very different people, from different places, but we both connected on the feeling of being a bit lost in the beginnings of adulthood. That year, I never really thought about him as a football player. He was just this gentle giant who loved to play video games and talk about life. His sophmore year he broke the single season sack record at Mizzou, became an All American, and his life changed forever. He became a celebrity on campus. He became a household name in Missouri. He became a top NFL draft prospect. I remember how crazy his life became, and how quickly. ESPN doing interviews. Fancy cars being "loaned" to him. And people everywhere inserting themselves into his life. Despite the craziness, my friend was always a text away. My junior of college, I decided to take my first stab at entrepreneurship. I wanted to launch a chapter of Camp Kesem. Kesem is a summer camp for children whose parents have been affected by cancer. The camp would be totally free and be a chance for a kid to experience the magic of being a kid again. As a son of a breast cancer survivor the idea of being able to create this camp in Missouri meant the world to me. The Livestrong Foundation was hosting a nation wide contest to win $10,000 as seed capital to get started. To win, you had to have the most votes. I tried really freaking hard to win that competition. I was going up against some really influential people at huge schools. As a somewhat awkward kid in Columbia, MO I had no chance. So I asked my friend Aldon for a favor. I asked him if he would help me out and promote the link to vote. He did more than just posting about Kesem on Facebook, skyrocketing us into the top place in the country. He kept supporting me the next 3 years while I was working on building Kesem. He showed up to have fun with the kids. He helped me fundraise. He helped me get Kesem to become an official organization sponsored by the NFLPA so he could publicly endorse us as as a player. Since then Torry Holt, Larry Fitzegerald, and many others have supported Kesem. But Aldon was the first. Kesem led me to move to Austin to work for the Livestrong Foundation. Kesem is how I met my wife. Kesem gave me the confidence to start Workweek and continue the path of building something from scratch. But in reality, Aldon enabled all those things. Throughout the years we had many amazing memories together. Having my wife and I vacation to his house in San Jose. Going to New Orleans for the Super Bowl and seeing his entire family make the trip. Meeting his son and watching him be a dad. The hilarious night we met Derek Jeter. Having the most intellectual conversations about life while playing Call of Duty. I also saw him struggle. There's no doubt he was a complicated person. Truthfully, I don't know if he ever really figured out who he wanted to be. I know just because your'e 6'4, 250lbs, and get 5.5 sacks in a single NFL game doesn't necessarily mean you want to be a football player. No matter the reasons, he made many bad decisions in his life. Some of those mistakes made it hard for me to stay as close as we'd once been. One day, not too long ago, I just decided to text him. It had been years since we really chatted. I just wanted to say thank you for all that he had done for me and that I was sorry I wasn't there for him more through his struggles. We FaceTimed after that, and it was like the old days all over again. Aldon was more than the headlines, the mistakes. He was a generous, gentle soul, a kid at heart, someone who was endlessly curious about life... all in the body of a world class NFL player, bearing the weight of professional pressure and personal circumstances that most of us can't even imagine. People are complex. People who make bad decisions can also do great things. A person can be hated by almost everyone and, yet, there are people in that person's life who still love them deeply. I learned many of these lesson due to Aldon, and I'll carry them with me forever. Rest in peace, Aldon. You won't be forgotten.

@Sneketoshi Wow, you’re an amazing guy Matt! Tell Steve his artwork is beautiful! I think it would be cool if he could possibly do something in honor of the World Cup being here in the US and that we won on Friday night. Tell Steve hi—he’s lucky to have someone like you to show his work 🇺🇸😍

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

@DavidMWeissman Where is your pinned post? Interested in reading how you came to change your mind again. I’m right in the center so no hate from me, just would love to understand your thoughts!

Every now and then I’ll get a comment from a Democrat saying, “you support Trump again?” Yes, I do. For those interested my pinned post explains why.

Only one way to start off the Ceremonial Weigh-Ins 🦅 #UFCWhiteHouse LIVE Sunday June 14 at 8pmET on @ParamountPlus! [ UFC Freedom 250 Presented by @Cryptocom & @RamTrucks ]

@EliStrawmaning @KonstantinKisin Operation Warp Speed and strong arming/using leverage to get the World Cup are Trump’s best things from his first term. Amazing how that isn’t celebrated anymore.

@KonstantinKisin I admit there were mistakes and overreach, I just don’t think it means we live in an authoritarian state like North Korea or Russia. That distinction is important.

The way people lost the plot during COVID and became proudly authoritarian.

@mulvihill79 Turkey is 2 weeks should be over 30?

24.8 million viewers for USA-PAR on FOX and TEL combined. When the final “big data” numbers come in it’ll be north of 25 million. Certainly holds its own with CFB, NBA, MLB championship audiences. Love to see it.

USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

@Lobbythedead @FreddyLA7 😂😂😂 hell yeah!!

@covertamerican @FreddyLA7 I 100% agree dude is now the biggest cultural icon we’ve ever had next to Tyson lol

This is so insane😭😭😭
