My good friend Chris Tullbane has his new book out. I highly recommend this series and this book - If you like urban fantasy, fantasy or just entertaining silliness this is for you. Chris has several series out and I've yet to read anything of his that isn't stellar - support an Indie author and please retweet this! a.co/d/00DO1w19

@TheCycleProf Didn't forget $msft earnings soon. I think they will set the pace

#StockMarket 🚨NEXT WEEK IS IMPORTANT Next Week’s Critical Earnings. Will They Spark the Next AI Leg Up? 🔥 Next week (July 21-25) looks like a pivotal one for markets. Tesla ($TSLA) and Alphabet ($GOOGL) both report Q2 2026 earnings after the close on Wednesday, July 22. These are two of the first major Magnificent 7 reads, and the market will be laser-focused on AI spending, capex guidance, and demand signals. Why this matters for AI momentum: • Alphabet (Google): Cloud growth (especially AI infrastructure & Gemini) has been accelerating. Investors want confirmation that massive capex (previously guided toward $175-190B+ for 2026) is translating into strong backlog, revenue, and margins, not just “investing for the future.” Strong cloud/AI beats could reinforce the AI buildout narrative. • Tesla: Beyond EVs, focus is on autonomy, robotics (Optimus), energy storage, and AI/tech initiatives. Any upbeat commentary on AI-driven growth or FSD/robotaxi progress could spark fresh enthusiasm in the broader AI/tech ecosystem. Watchlist for traders: • Post-earnings volatility in TSLA, GOOGL, and correlated AI plays (chips, data center names, etc.) • Key levels on major indices • VIX reaction Follow me @TheCycleProf so you don’t miss out on market updates and critical turning points in the market. The market rewards the prepared. #AI #Semiconductors #StockMarket #Cycles

@realMaalouf Why are they here Oh ya Invasion We are so stupid

TERRIFYING: The Shia Muslim mosque of Dearborn declares its support for the Islamic Regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of ‘Devil-worshippers.’ “America was built by Devil-worshipers. The Statue of Liberty represents Lucifer. Ayatollah Khamenei was the greatest leader of our time. We want our children to grow up with this jihad culture!” The enemy within.

@barstoolsports Seems like a punk ass Hope he grows up she get learn some respect because frankly, of he doesn't, someone will teach it to him and I don't care how big he is. He gets into real comp and someone's going to feed him his ass off he keeps behaving like that

There’s a 7’6 15 year old in Canada The league is on notice

@saylordocs Do you know everything they're already doing to help?

I genuinely don't understand people like Bezos and Musk. If I had billions of dollars, I would just start fixing everything. Homeless veterans sleeping on the streets? Not on my watch. Hungry children going to bed with empty stomachs? Hell no. They could be making life better but instead choose to build spaceships and data centers to pump stocks and destroy the planet

@EvilPresti Top 20 player. One of the best defenders in the league. Super smart. Gets to the rim at will. Married a good percentage of his 3s. Runs like a gazelle. Praying he's healthy this season. I love watching him.

How quick they forget. Jalen Williams is a top 5 two way player in the league

@EvanKirstel Somebody get that man a sandwich

Time to retire

I find it wild how quickly everyone forgets how good Chet is. Or how great JDub is. Thunder flat out don't win a title with out those guys. This season, if they had been healthy, they will 70+ and stomp their way to another title. This team has a historically good core and they're going to be fine if they avoid another season plagued by injury. Even their title year, they're weren't really healthy As for Chet, that hip injury impacted him in a major way. I think it set him back physically and mentally. I think this body is just not the type to add bulk. Obviously the Thunder has a nutritionist with him. I wish he could pack 20-30lbs on but that's just not happening.

Going into year 4 and hasn’t gained a single muscle 😭✌🏼

@MarkRuffalo @elonmusk Hey Mark You've got plenty of money too. Before you start telling someone else what to do, how about you pony up and empty your bank accounts buddy. You are a complete loser that ruined one of our favorite movie characters. You are the weakest avenger. Hypocrite

Hello @ElonMusk. This is how you are perceived. Not too late to course correct but it’s getting pretty late. You certainly have the extra money on hand to really help the people of the world instead of the hellbent road of chaos and destruction you are ludicrously barreling down. Put down the Ket straw. 🤪

@TheStingisBack I couldn't believe how badly Steve Martin missed the mark trying to play the inspector. The style was just completely wrong

Cato vs. Inspector Clouseau Burt Kwouk (born this day in 1930) is best remembered for his scenes opposite Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther films. Their surprise fights are legendary comedy gold. "No, Cato, you fool. This is not the time."

@FastbreakHoops5 Others put out there Bill Lambier etc Vernon Maxwell should be here - That dude was CRAZY

The scariest NBA players of all time.

I didn't say he's always hurt - I did say we haven't seen him healthy for enough of a stretch to make a real judgement on keeping him vs keeping Caso or anyone else. We have to see that he's able to play healthy seasons and play offs before we hand him the keys. If he can have a great run of games, then I'm all on in on him. Ajay is one of my favorite players. I so badly want him to have a chance to shine.

“Ajay Mitchell is always hurt” The man has been in the league for two years give him some time 😭

@ClownWorld Years ago they started the tiny home thing on cable tv networks. They tried to normalize it and make them sound cool and future forward thinking. In reality, they were trying to normalize something terrible and sell people on settling for failure.

I know some people think these tiny homes are the future, but I honestly think it’s pathetic. I’ve seen backyard sheds that are bigger than this. Somewhere along the way we started convincing ourselves that paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for what looks like a storage unit is normal. Is this really the direction we want housing to go?

@GuntherEagleman I would be ok with paying people 1% of all recovered or prevented fraud for successful convictions. Lets put a bounty on this crap.

🚨 MASSIVE FRAUD BUST THANKS TO PATRIOT JOURNALIST NICK SHIRLEY! $90 MILLION in arrests already, with $3.7 BILLION in intended losses and OVER $6-7 BILLION total fraud exposed! Adult daycares claiming 7,900 “patients” in tiny storefronts? Straight-up scams hiding in plain sight while taxpayers get robbed blind. Nobody was looking… until Nick went in with the camera. Governors like Kathy Hochul attack the messenger instead of the fraudsters. Media (even NPR) had to issue embarrassing corrections because they downplayed it as $110 instead of $110 MILLION. Classic! Trump admin cracking down hard. Blue state Dems? Just want MORE money to fuel the grift. Nick couldn’t even find fake daycare spots for “little Joey” or grandma in their stories, because it’s all a racket. Hats off to Nick Shirley for blowing this wide open in 2026. Real journalism exposing the swamp, politicians, and media working against the American people. Stay safe out there, brother — you’re doing God’s work! 🙏 This is why we need accountability everywhere. No more stealing from hardworking Americans!

Honestly, my FSD has gotten WORSE There is just so many weird things with AI3 FSD. Drive on city roads where speed limit is 45 and my car is doing 30. Drive on highway in a 65 and i'm having it decide to run 80+. Seriously. Shadow braking all over. Jump into construction zone lanes or turn out lanes on 2 lane roads. Tesla owes us better than this. I'm not even unwilling to step up and pay up for upgrades.

Still hoping for the FSD 14 Lite update for our AI3 owners. As slow as it seems, each day is a day closer for it to roll out. This is going to be very huge our our long time Tesla owners. No other company supports their cars like this with upgrades. Super happy for everyone. Could be this weekend!

The problem today isn't that we COULDN'T due to tech. It's that we couldn't due to WILL And that shouldn't be overlooked in any period of time. Politics have always been a human thing. Imagine during famine, you've got this huge work force working 20 hours a day or more to build some random structure that feeds nobody. Today, we can't build it because it might hurt the wild river guppy or the yellow horned swaggle wasp or whatever. We spent billions in California for a train that doesn't exist. We stop ourselves from building great things. China could do it - look at Three Gorges Dam. That thing is nuts! Truly a modern wonder.

@cubert9 @historyinmemes That's a false narrative that I too heard when I was young, but it's entirely possible today to build them, and using modern techniques it would obviously be done far more efficiently.

These ancient carvings were discovered across three separate landmasses divided by enormous oceans. The three figures shown here come from cultures separated by thousands of miles and, in some cases, separated by thousands of years. The Gobustan petroglyphs in Azerbaijan date back roughly 10,000 to 5,000 years, the carvings in Japan’s Fugoppe Cave were created around AD 200 to 400, and the famous winged figure in Utah is generally linked to the Fremont culture, dating to approximately AD 950 to 1250. Despite their striking similarities, archaeologists have found no evidence that these societies ever interacted. The resemblance is usually explained as a case of convergent artistic expression — different cultures independently developing similar symbols to represent spiritual beings, ceremonial figures, ritual leaders, or sources of power. Although the images appear remarkably alike, they are generally viewed as separate creations rather than evidence of a shared civilization or ancient contact across oceans.

Well. Lets hope that 2028 comes and the league opts out of the ridiculous CBA Everyone with a pulse could see this coming. "This CBA protects small markets". No, small markets have to build through the draft, so doing something that forces them to overpay for their own roster is RIDICULOUS The other major issue I have is this CBA rewards the first guy and punishes the 2nd. Think about it - whoever signed first got the money. The next guy gets screwed. If a team drafts a guy, or if a guy finishes an entire contract somewhere, then he shouldn't be punished for being traded. The last time the whole CBA thing happened and a salary spike happened, the players refused smoothing and all that happened was the guys who were lucky enough to sign in 2016 or whenever got paid. The guys the next year got screwed - the teams had already spent their big pop and the next guy to come along was stuck. My proposal would be that a team can pay their own guy whatever they want. If the cap says "60m max contract" then the team pays as many players on their roster 60m max. But taxes kick in when you sign free agents. If the FA plays out a full contract, then resigns, no more tax above their current pay. That system would protect fans - they want to follow their team and their guy. If a guy wants to leave fine, they can, but their team is incumbent and loyalty is rewarded on both sides.

@NotAnOKCFan This question hurts my soul

If the Thunder eventually have to choose… Which player are you keeping long term?

For the life of me, I don't know why they picked this one to defend like this. This young man showed up, picked a fight and opted to stick a knife in someone else. He plainly had decided he was going to create a confrontation and wanted to kill someone that day. We don't know why, what was going on with Karmelo and why he decided he needed to kill someone, but he did. The unrelated question is the world wants to defend this BS. The more they defend this, the more ridiculous they look and the less credibility they have the next time.

I just want to make it clear that this interview with Charleston White is POST-trial. A few facts: •It was a knife. •The photo shown is the actual knife used to kill Austin. It was presented as evidence during the trial. •No, the knife was not illegal because its blade was under 5½ inches. However, it was against school policy. And NO ONE brings a knife to a track meet. •The medical examiner testified, and her report was presented in court. •The jury was shown the video in full, from multiple angles. Charleston White does nothing but speak vomit from his mouth, which is exactly why I sued him.

I don't think its unpopular. They're killing it and their multiple is record lows for the company. They're increasing dividends, buying stock back and they're leading. The crazy thing that gets missed is how many times Jensen has had this company in the exact right spot at the exact right time. At this point, its not luck, its no accident - NVidia just wins.

Unpopular opinion, but $NVDA is so UNDERVALUED! Basically a flat year …

Well from what we know today, Caso has been able to be healthy and Ajay hasn't. if both were healthy for a stretch, I'm all in on Ajay. He's more complete. I think because of the disruption in Ajay's career due to health, most don't realize how elite his defense has been or how great his offense is. Ajay is a starting PG on about half the teams in the league. If he is healthy for a long stretch, we're probably talking all-star level and 6th man of the year on the Thunder.

Are we certain? I find it interesting that a bunch of these things supposedly got built about the same time all over the world and then the it's this gap where nobody built anything like this again. I'm sorry, I don't just buy into what they put in a book they handed us in highschool. Why should we? Up until a few years back, they "knew" how old civilization was then they find Gobekli Tepe and it changes every date they've got by thousands of years. So no, I don't think they know everything and just accepting some narrative is foolish.

@cubert9 @historyinmemes And yet, Noone questions who built the pyramids in Mexico.
