@LangmanVince Nothing wrong with it. He’s having a good time, he’s 36, not a politician. Last time I checked he’s an athlete, teammate, influencer a young guy at a ball game.

Travis Kelce is a 36-year-old man, why is he acting like a 19-year-old at a frat party?

@davedbenefield @MLFootball Absolutely and it doesn't matter which race you are It's like that Nordic guy "The Mountain" who is 6'9 but he has a tiny 5'2 wife all I can think of is your son is going to hate you when he ends up being 5'11 😭

TRENDING: #NFL star Amon-Ra St. Brown’s dad said the key to raising professional athletes is having kids with a Black woman — not with white woman. “I'm black, mom is white, Now I've done stepped on it once. You can't keep stepping on it.” Wow 😳😳😳

@UpstateCommuni1 @MrPENN217 @MLFootball I remember seeing it live. It was the truth. It was painful, some of us got razed at school because of it especially those Christian private schools. Those of us who knew anything about black history knew the depths of slavery and the treatment of slaves. #Sadmoments

So if you’re keeping score: Top/Angel Reese: Thug. Hoodlum. Hoodrat. Hoe. Ghetto. Bully. Immature. Rude. Typical black behavior. That’s what they said……….. Bottom/ Caitlin Clark: Feisty. Tough. Exciting. Not taking any crap. Just giving back what they dished out. Walking it like she talks it. We’re just jealous of her. That’s what they’re saying…….. Do you SEE?

"Racistas" Porque un padre y su hijo llamaron "mono" a un trabajador afro, le dijeron que lo esperaban afuera del local y el tipo los molió a piñas.

This Nazi White Supremacist goes crazy for no reason & starts calling the women who work at Best Buy all kinds of racist & homophobic slurs like the N & D words.He then tells them that he’s a white man & has all the power. He shows them his Nazi tattoo while threatening them too.

@GodofBlunder247 @MLFootball I think he’s talking size. I bumped into Mr. Brown. He’s not a little guy. Speaking of which, you’re throwing the dice if you’re an athletic 6’2-6’3 and you go after a non athletic 5’5. You’re definitely pushing it.

@davedbenefield @MLFootball Shes German or something. The St. Browns famously spoke German at home as kids I guess what he's saying is specifically to his son being half black, don't water his black down any further That makes more sense than nobody doing it ever

@MrPENN217 @MLFootball You can’t fire a guy for saying what he said. Just like you can’t hide it in history books that this was happening on plantations.

You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold." So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house? I didn't sell it. I didn't cash out. I didn't make a profit. But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year. Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.

i don't think people understand what's happening in Chinese robotics right now Unitree specifically might be the most impressive AND most concerning company on Earth let me explain... Unitree Robotics sells a humanoid robot for $5,900. their robot dog costs $1,600 (Boston Dynamics charges $74,500 for theirs for context). you can literally buy these today. so obviously the first question is: how is that even possible? the answer starts with a guy who couldn't pass his English exam. Wang Xingxing grew up in Zhejiang province. for his master's thesis, he decided to build a quadruped robot. budget: about $3,000. for context, $3,000 for this kinda robot is nothing. off-the-shelf servo motors alone would've eaten that twice over. so Wang did the only thing he could: he designed and machined every single component himself. motors, joints, controllers, the frame. all of it. the resulting robot was janky and imperfect. but it worked. and the video went viral globally. after graduating he joined DJI. but he quit after two months, and this is 2016, when DJI was arguably the hottest hardware company in China. walking away from that with no money to start a robotics company is a... specific kind of stubborn. he launches Unitree with $280K from a single angel investor. tiny office in Hangzhou. 50 square meters. but the money runs out fast. he can't make payroll for three years. the company almost dies in 2017. but emergency government funding arrives with days to spare. he survives, barely, and keeps building. this is where it gets really fascinating IMO. this founding constraint, building everything yourself because you literally cannot afford to buy parts, never went away. even after funding rounds started landing. even after revenue kicked in. it just became the company's permanent DNA. Unitree now manufactures 90%+ of its core components in-house. motors, reducers, controllers, encoders, LiDAR, etc the founder's $3,000 robot thesis ended up being an architectural decision that turned out to be structurally superior. think about what that means in practice. Boston Dynamics needs a better motor? they negotiate with a supplier, wait on lead times, qualify the part. but when Unitree needs one, they design theirs internally and have a new version in production within weeks. that gap compounds every cycle. Unitree shipped three separate humanoid platforms in 18 months. Figure AI has shipped one. Tesla has shipped zero commercially. the results are getting hard to dismiss. 23,700 robot dogs shipped in 2024 (roughly 70% of the entire global market). 7,000+ humanoids deployed. over 600 industrial sites running their quadrupeds. $140M+ revenue, profitable every year since 2020. for perspective: no Western humanoid competitor is profitable. not one. OK. now here's where the "most concerning" part of this starts... if you watched the DJI story unfold, you already recognize the shape. affordable Chinese hardware quietly saturates global markets. years later, the national security questions arrive, after the install base is already massive. drones, then EVs, then AI. now robots. Unitree is running this exact playbook in real time. in April 2025, researchers found an undocumented backdoor in their Go1 robot. a remote tunnel letting anyone control the robot and stream its camera feed. default password: pi/123. 1,919 vulnerable units exposed globally. including machines at MIT, Princeton, and Carnegie Mellon. but it gets worse. every Unitree robot shares the same hardcoded encryption key. encrypt the word "unitree" and you get root access to any of them. one compromised robot can spread to every Unitree robot in Bluetooth range automatically. a literal robot botnet. the G1 quietly transmits sensor data to Chinese servers every five minutes. audio, video, GPS, LiDAR spatial mapping, with no notification, no consent, no opt-out. PLA footage has shown Go2 robots with mounted weapons. Ukrainian forces literally deployed weaponized units on the actual frontline. and every member of the bipartisan House China Committee signed a letter calling for Unitree's military company designation. Wang signed a 2022 pledge alongside Boston Dynamics not to weaponize robots. but pledges don't survive contact with shipping hardware to open markets. and under China's 2025 rules restricting military-related speech, Unitree couldn't publicly confirm PLA use even if they wanted to. 50,000+ of these robots are now deployed globally. some at institutions that probably should've asked harder questions before connecting them to their networks. the security stuff is real and people should know about it. but i also think it's important not to let that overshadow what's actually been built here. a 35-year-old who failed his English exam created a robotics company that's outshipping and outpricing every Western competitor while being the only profitable humanoid maker on Earth. most impressive and most concerning company in the world right now.
