@JasonSobelGolf It’s a shame his younger fans needed to see this, especially from the self-styled Christian and family man—not a good look by any measure.

@McInnispicks “Bragging” is the odd part in your take and, in any case, he’s leading the Masters by six after two days so probably not worth quibbling with his process.

I never really understood why some people didn't like Rory. Now I kind of see it.

@ChicagosMayor You should justify your "unproven technology" claim by sharing the results of the live fire tests conducted months ago for your acoustic gunshot detection RFP—the citizens of Chicago and #ChicagoPD will no doubt find that more interesting than your Plan B: animated hand gestures.

I find it a bit ironic that we're still talking about paying for unproven technology instead of investing in the proven strategies that are actively driving down violence in Chicago.

@PUDGE815 @CWBChicago Your point? The discovery of a long-dead gunshot victim in an area formerly served by ShotSpotter isn’t worth your notice?!

@CWBChicago So you’re reporting that there was shotspotter on a remote road? And upset that it was removed. You used to be worthy journalists CWB.

This remote gravel road is in Chicago. Tuesday, a Streets & San crew found a woman’s body here, lying next to 9 shell casings. She had been dead a long time. But nobody knows when the murder occurred because … the mayor got rid of ShotSpotter. cwbchicago.com/2026/02/body-f…

@LangmanVince The only mental disorder in evidence here is believing the person who shared this video is sufficiently competent to run a church bake sale, much less a country. Your continued support for @realDonaldTrump should someday be a source of debilitating, permanent shame.

This is the full video meme showing President Trump as the king of the jungle and radical Democrats as verious animals in the Jungle including Barack and Michelle Obama. If you find this racist, please seek help you have a mental disorder!

@WilliamShatner Any computer science under grad should be able to tell you why YYYYMM DD is the only logical order.

William Shatner@WilliamShatner·
It’s not “logical”: there are 12 months, up to 31 days and an infinite number of years so the progression from 12 to 31 to infinity is the “logical” assumption of order. The British just want to be annoyingly different. 😑
Dr_Prodworthy@Dr_Prodworthy

@WilliamShatner Spock would point out that DD/MM/YYYY, used by the Brits/entire non-American world, is more logical than MM/DD/YYYY. Not even Canadians use the US system, which is strange, b/c they copy everything else.

@awinston @PeterMoskos This one post alone makes clear you're more interested in your agenda than the merits of the ShotSpotter technology--you certainly are not the informed expert you claim to be.

Chicago got rid of ShotSpotter because people voted for progressives who said gunshot detection is racist because it brings increased police response disproportionately to black and brown neighborhoods. That's what they said.
CWBChicago@CWBChicago

A passerby found a woman fatally shot in a Far South Side alley Sunday morning. No one called 911. Police say she was shot twice in the head. As the CPD dispatcher noted on-air: “And we don’t have a ShotSpotter.” cwbchicago.com/2025/10/woman-…

BREAKING: The man-child president just called for CNN Reporter Natasha Bertrand to be "thrown out like a dog". Trump's full unhinged statement: "Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out “like a dog.” She lied on the Laptop from Hell Story, and now she lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad when, in fact, they did a GREAT job and hit “pay dirt” — TOTAL OBLITERATION! She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN. It’s people like her who destroyed the reputation of a once great Network. Her slant was so obviously negative, besides, she doesn’t have what it takes to be an on camera correspondent, not even close. FIRE NATASHA!"

@Xglobalhumane @BrianHegseth @johncusack Your NASAS app is in no way a replacement for #ShotSpotter and would likely see less adoption or use than current 911 services. Your "more advanced system" would, in practice, be wholly ineffective in pinpointing gunfire in real time.

Brian I met with city Chicago officials, Aldermen. My Black Black Men United USA partners and I offered to donate NASAS vs $50 million the city spent on ShotSpotter that studies proves too many false alarms, doesn't work. Needless to say Chicago officials must be getting kickbacks because they turned down a free more advanced system. The good about NASAS is if Trump were to implement it covers the entire country bypassing the authority of America's enemies like Brandon. youtu.be/eJy7Nt2qUvo?fe…

@BELTenterprises Are you still looking for Matt? I know him and saw him yesterday in the Menlo Park, CA, Peet's Coffee Shop. He was a regular member of our Menlo Park Chess Club middle of last year. If you need to get word to him I can probably do that for you.

Shotspotter technology dismantled in Chicago, saving millions of dollars, and homicides and shooting victims are significantly less. @ChicagosMayor made a difficult unpopular decision at the time but he saw something that others didn’t. Visionary leadership.

@Hyundai_Global, @Hyundai, it now appears you've simply removed Celadon Gray Matte from the 2025 #Ioniq5 configurator? Is this color no longer available in the US or are you simply awaiting a fix for your web app? Odd, frankly, but I do hope it's available with the 2025 US model!

@Hyundai_Global, @Hyundai, your 2025 #ioniq5 configurator has been broken for weeks when selecting one of the new colors (Summary page never loads with Celadon Gray Matte). Makes me wonder about the quality of your vehicle software when a simple web app proves this challenging.
