@gfodor No one benefits more from the soft bigotry of low expectations more than islamists. Ppl talk about them like a force of nature.

honestly it's funny to me how widespread the soft bigotry of low expectations there is for the Iranian regime in the way their choice to engage in global economic terrorism is framed as some kind of straightforward cause and effect. it's simple physics, folks.

@FlopUFC I get Khalil's there bc he talks about mental health, but no way McKinney's woke - he's a guru fan

UFC Fighters ranked on what I think their political beliefs are:

@FinnSeesGhosts Damn my favorite song rn

BULLY SONGS TIERLIST Lmk your thoughts

@dirtydianassock @bulliedb170 @MagicM_MMABets The paramount deal isn't free money, UFC is 3 billion in debt, they've gotta pay investors, etc. if the fighters wanted a piece of that they should've formed a union. Then the UFC could be like boxing where an undercard fighter makes a couple thousand and the main event 30M

@geofherb @bulliedb170 @MagicM_MMABets If you get paid 25 dollars an hour and inflation goes up 2 dollars and your job gives you a .75 cent raise because they made 50 million more in profits that year did your pay actually go up or are you still under paid at the end of the day nobody was paid from the paramount deal

The “I hate UFC” UFC fan starter pack: - Hate on main event every week. - If main event is good, fighter pay discourse - “This card is ass” (Will watch every single fight on poor stream) - “Talbott is so cool” - Dana White needs to go - “Connor Benn got 15 M” (On benefits)

@dirtydianassock @bulliedb170 @MagicM_MMABets U said fighter pay hasn't changed since the spike tv era to the Paramount era - starting pay has doubled. Since the ESPN era, bonuses have doubled and they introduced a new bonus Sit this one out

@geofherb @bulliedb170 @MagicM_MMABets So ufc fighters literally saying out their mouths that their pay didn't change doesn't mean shit your word Mr random guy on the internet with no connection to the ufc or their business is the end all be all

@justalexoki Vultures is a dark horse, Beg Forgiveness is OP

it's funny you go through this and you think "shit yeezus might actually be the one" "damn ok nvm it's definitely TLOP" "wait... ye??" "ok nvm it's definitely JIK" "fuck... DONDA???" "IS IT BULLY?????"

@dirtydianassock @bulliedb170 @MagicM_MMABets Starting pay doubled and they introduced an entirely new bonus that undercard fighters are way more likely to get but ok. 🤷‍♂️

@bulliedb170 @geofherb @MagicM_MMABets Yea he wrote all that shit to say nothing lmao that shit went from spike TV to paramount 15+ years worth of advancing the sport and in 2026 only fight bonuses went up 😭😭😭😭😭

@bulliedb170 @MagicM_MMABets Having a lower share of revenue going to fighters got them from spike tv, to ESPN, to a Paramount deal and the end of PPV. It attracted massive investment and allowed them to lobby for legalization and expand around the world. Growing the sport will increase pay

@geofherb @MagicM_MMABets Paying for paramount isn’t going to get the fighters paid. They’re turning billions in profit and fighters are on awful splits.

@justalexoki Those albums are good music but almost everything that came after is true art

if you ask someone their favorite kanye album and they mention any of these they are 100% a washed unc and you shouldn't trust their opinion for anything

@justalexoki Ye's albums grow on me like no other artist. I didn't like TLOP, Donda, or Vultures the first few listens but now they're my favorite albums.

ok wtf listening to DONDA now and it may actually be S tier

@baseballcrank Just watched it for the first time last year. Garbage film. Like a cheap copy of Goodfellas.

I recently finally watched Casino, in which Robert De Niro plays the world's least convincing Jew. The Costanzas were more plausible Italians. The movie never even bothers to explain.

@tautologer I showed my non gamer dad faster than light on his iPad 10 years ago and he's still playing it

I want to get my dad (late 60s) into video games as a pastime, as an improvement over cable TV news and YouTube shorts. he agrees and is on board, but he's tried playing video games in the past and "they just don't grab me." any recs for a novice gamer? maybe map games?

@CoreyWriting Everyone I know that works in retail or service industries, and women I know that use dating sites, have lots of negative experiences with ppl from India

I don't think this is really true. Indian Americans are successful and commit zero crime, but there's a huge backlash against them. There is a significant contingent of Americans that simply don't want the country to become less white.

@Majick666 @damienfarronMMA I feel like this is a typical path for fighters who rely on speed/reactions vs power/durability. Look at BJ Penn/Anderson Silva compared to someone Dan Henderson in their late careers

@damienfarronMMA His speed is diminishing, reactions are slowing, and he’s not absorbing the shots like he used to. Father Time and fight time are catching him. The shots Pyfer was hitting him with, he would have slipped 5 years ago. Unfortunately he’s on his Anderson Silva end of career run.

The craziest part about him being on a 4 fight skid is that he genuinely doesn't look worse, barre the Strickland fight he looks the same as he has in any other fight. It just feels like the division is moving past him and the new guys are able to catch him.

@SJSpotlight Once again, public sector unions prove to be the biggest roadblocks to progress

San Jose has been an early adopter of generative artificial intelligence tools. Now the city’s largest union is demanding it also move quickly to embrace safeguards for workers sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-worke…

@ikirigin Economic flat-earthers. Almost everyone I talk to in the Bay Area is an economic flat-earther.

Just had a spicy exchange at my front door: -Him- Hi we're gathering signatures for rent control. =Me= Rent control is one of the worst ideas in all of economics. Did you even google this? - Yes, and I studied economics actually. = You think a majority of economists think it's a good idea? - Yes actually. = That's not true. It lowers the supply of housing. Landlords don't have money to maintain units. - We'll force them to. = Cities with rent control are missing tens of thousands of units because upkeep isn't worth the money. - You think landlords can't afford it? = They have less money, it's just a business choice. Meanwhile, can you guess what I pay in property taxes? - No = Can you guess the ratio of my property taxes vs my 5 neighbors combined? - No = I pay literally double the next 5 houses combined. - Are you saying you can't afford that? = No, the city has less tax revenue for roads and schools and police. You could be trying to fix that. Have you heard of CEQA? - No, I don't know what that is = Please quit your job.

@BDSixsmith Ppl who think Joe Rogan is at the bottom in terms of bad comedians have not been exposed to enough dogshit comedians.

No, Joe Rogan is. Rogan is a tragic figure because he's the world most talented podcaster and the world's least talented comedian yet it's the latter that he cares about most. x.com/i/status/20369…

@SJSpotlight They want SJ to divest from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google bc of possible ICE ties?! Lmao

Despite growing calls for San Jose to divest public funds from certain companies, the City Council has decided to hold off — for now — on making any major changes to the city’s investment portfolio sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-deadl…

@zombiemanjay What funny too is how Gane keeps finding himself on the other end of career defining fights: Ngannou fighting out his contract, Jones fighting for a second belt, now Alex fighting for a third.

What’s funny is Alex Pereira was one loss away from getting the “he was never that good” treatment from most of the fanbase if he lost the Ank rematch. Now people will be putting him in GOAT talks if he beats Gane. Interesting stuff.
