Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40:
Option A:
Single. No kids.
$10M net worth.
Travel anywhere. Total freedom.
Quiet house. Quiet holidays.
Option B:
Married. 3 kids.
$1M net worth.
Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning.
Loud house. Full dinner table.
Be honest, which life are you choosing?

@JimmysSeafood You guys are the best. I’ll make it a life goal to come and eat there.

What an absolutely terrible article. thenation.com/article/societ…

If you are thinking about going to @goodyear for an oil change, please don’t. I got one last Thursday and they didn’t out enough oil in my car but of course charged me for extra oil. After learning this they didn’t have the decency to say they would be closed and gone at 5:00 pm

@KVJShow the gas stations in PBC that do that are the two on Military and Northlake. It’s a whole extra $1.00 if you pay with card at these two gas stations. There is another in Tequesta that does the same.

@JoelEnriqueS The can’t vote because Puerto Rico is not a state. They have voted against becoming a state in the past, so how is it un American because they can’t vote? They get all the rights of other Americans except this because they chose it.

I’m impressed to see how many Americans feel offended by a 13-minute halftime show by Bad Bunny. Yet, they don’t feel offended by the undemocratic reality that 3.2 million Americans living in Puerto Rico cannot vote for the U.S. President or have voting representation in Congress. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, yet residents of the island cannot vote in presidential general elections and have no voting representation in Congress simply because Puerto Rico is a US territory, not a state.
Why isn’t there outrage over the fact that more than 350,000 Americans from Puerto Rico have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, many risking their lives, without having the right to elect their own Commander in Chief? How can a 13-minute performance in Spanish provoke such strong reactions, while the lack of full democratic rights for millions of fellow Americans for over a century does not?
Puerto Rico has voted on its political status multiple times, with statehood receiving majorities in the last four plebiscites: 62% (2012), 97% (2017), 53% (2020), and 58% (2024). Yet despite these repeated votes, neither Obama, nor Trump, nor Biden has delivered equal voting rights under the American flag to Puerto Rico, just as Washington, D.C., did in 1961, or statehood, as 37 states, including the Island of Hawaii, did in 1959.
So let me ask a simple question: what is more un-American, singing in Spanish for 13 minutes at the Super Bowl halftime show, or denying 3.2 million American citizens the right to vote in the U.S. general elections for more than a century?
At a time when the nation is debating stricter voter ID requirements to ensure that American citizens decide U.S. elections, shouldn’t the first priority be guaranteeing that all American citizens actually have the right to vote? The 3.2 million Americans living in Puerto Rico already have voter ID requirements to participate in elections. The issue in Puerto Rico is not voter verification, it is the denial of equal voting rights in federal elections.
Before questioning the language spoken on a stage, perhaps the country should confront a far more fundamental question: why are millions of American citizens still excluded from full participation in the democracy they serve, support, and defend?
At least during that halftime show, Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory since 1898, had a brief moment of visibility in America’s cultural spotlight. Thirteen minutes of visibility is nothing compared to 128 years of electoral invisibility without full representation in the American democracy Puerto Ricans have defended, served, and strengthened for generations, just as Texans, Californians, and Floridians have.
And don’t claim opposition to Puerto Rico statehood based on the assumption that it would become a reliably liberal-leftist state. Today, Puerto Rico’s governor is a Republican, and the island’s legislature reflects a strong conservative influence. Bad Bunny does not represent Puerto Rico’s core political values. He represents Puerto Rico’s cultural identity; its language, heritage, and global presence, which is entirely different from how public policy and laws are shaped.
Over the past decade, Puerto Rico has enacted legislation that reflects socially conservative priorities. These measures include legislation restricting abortion, criminalizing gender-affirming care for minors, expanding religious-based service refusals by state government employees, recognizing the unborn as legal persons, and broadening gun rights. From a legislative standpoint, Puerto Rico increasingly resembles socially conservative states such as Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.
Puerto Rico’s political reality is more complex and more conservative than many assume. Cultural expression does not always align with legislative ideology, and it is inaccurate to judge the political character of 3.2 million American citizens based solely on the views of a single artist.

@SOTSPodcast First off I love you guys as a band and the album you made is magnificent. I just don’t know what all you are referring to because your statement about certain world events come from many different perspectives. I would love to learn more about your view.
English

Turnstile have released a statement thanking their community for their success and speaking to the unity of music bringing us together in these violent times.
"On Sunday our band won 2 Grammys for Best Rock Album & Best Metal Performance. We never thought we'd be in these rooms, but we are very grateful to be here.
This band has never been about the individual, but rather about a collective searching for a common thread in a world where those threads are being hidden from us.
The world likes to tell us who we are and what we're not, but the truth is we belong to nothing and we belong to everyone.
We're existing in a time of heightened state violence. We are watching people be pushed out of their homes here in America, in Palestine, in Sudan, in Iran, everywhere, as if they don't belong to them. As if we don't belong to each other. Music is a vehicle for voices that are buried, that are searching, that are alien. Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing.
Thank you to our family, our friends, our partners, our peers for continuing to shape us and give us sense of belonging. Thank you to anyone who has ever come to a show and swung in the dark with us. Thank you to our team who fights for us to be in the room. Thank you to Baltimore for giving us a stage. Thank you to everyone who has allowed this band to be a mirror for this community. Thank you."
With love,
TURNSTILE

@kvjshow my buddy was a regular extra on “How I met your mother,” an did a marriage scene at the end of the first season and still gets royalties to this day.

@CentralNorvell Who really gives a shit. Win or you are gone. I don’t give care at all about these articles anymore. I’m about to cancel my noles247 account because it’s worthless. We are about 3 years out of being Indiana 3 years ago. It’s so bad, I’m hate it.

@Footballtweet That’s an easy explanation. Nobody watches women’s soccer. The entire world watches men’s soccer. Enough said.

🚨 27-year old Aitana Bonmatí, who is the highest-paid female footballer in the world, earns a salary that is around 260 times lower than that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is about to turn 41-years old.
Just one month of Ronaldo's salary would equal 21 and a half years of Bonmatí's career.
What is your opinion on this? 🤔

🚨Cuban-Americans are taking over & we are proud!
College Football National Championship:
University of Miami led by the nation’s best: Cuban-American coach Mario Cristobal
Indiana University:
Star Quarterback Heisman Trophy Winner Cuban-American Fernando Mendoza.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio dominating the world stage!
President Trump standing with our community more than any other President in American history!
We are tireless because our families instilled it in us! Failure is NOT an option! ¡Seguimos! 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇨🇺

@secnumbersguy Alabama couldn’t even beat FSU. They got absolutely smoked my one of the worst ACC teams. Then absolutely throttled by Indiana. Alabama is far from the 2nd best time and you are a joke.
English

@secnumbersguy Or those SEC games that are so tough are over inflating your tough schedule. No matter how good those tough schedules are , SEC only has a winning record against the BIG 12. Maybe the SEC just isn’t very good.

@dom_lucre Let’s all be clear. It’s not because it was a gay scene. It’s not the gay or the trans anything. It’s just wasted time for political/social reasons and it came through completely pointless regarding the show as a whole.
English

@dom_lucre I love Dave Chapelle. This was such a great stand up. Dude stands for what believes in and what he sees instead of pandering to the left or the right.
English

🔥🚨BREAKING: Now Liberals are mad at Dave Chapelle after he left the cows in his DC show speechless when he announced that Trump's National Guard deployment to stop crime & cleanup DC is working.
This comes after Chapelle infuriated Conservatives after claiming Charlie Kirk was just a podcaster. Chapelle has successfully angered both political parties in the same week.
"I came here mad, ready to fight, but when I drove through the city, it looked clean, guys, I gotta tell you it looked clean." 😂
English

@ClawForThatInch Great piece and I can’t disagree with one thing you said.
English

Every Florida State fan should read this.
It explains why FSU feels fragile while other legacy brands absorb hits and move on.
This isn’t about recruiting or NIL cope.
It’s about structure, incentives, restraint, and why FSU is uniquely exposed in modern CFB.
