Preach

@Kurrco Wtf is this shit.

"If Drake took out the A.K., maybe he'd be in jail... just based off the name that it spells." — Drake on "1 AM in Albany" 👀

@Kurrco I hope the rest of Iceman isn’t like this. 2 years later. I wanna move on too!

Drake addresses Kendrick Lamar on "1 AM in Albany": "To be the number one, you gotta lead the way, and to hold something over my head forever, you’re still a couple feet away" "Plot twist, the owl never sees the cage, the owl only wakes up to seize the day" "Talkin' bout hiding the Bible, maybe y'all should read a page, iced out crosses on they necks thinking Jesus saves, well even if he does, n****, either way, the blasphemy you talk let me know that your amazing grace gon' be delayed" "You n****s should be ashamed, the fact you had to bring those talks to get some decent plays, goodness graic'" "God wanna wipe that lil smug look right off ya f*cking face, all you really did was cap like uppercase, dodged the truth, but still managed to finally get a hit that let you run a base, n****s saw you out at first, you need 'em, so you out at home now, just like a double play”

@Kurrco Drake is prolonging this beef. Dude get over it.

Drake references Kendrick Lamar's "What is it, the braids?" line on the outro of "1AM in Albany" 👀 "What is it, the braids? Even if I cut them, I could never fade, I mean it's Drizzy Drake"

@VijayInWA Schultz can suck it

Seattle Turns Hostile to the Great Businesses It Made Starbucks is moving jobs from Washington state to Tennessee, and it isn’t alone in looking elsewhere. By Howard Schulz "Washington state has been my home for more than four decades. I arrived in Seattle with dreams and ambition and ended up building Starbucks into a company known around the world. Many Pacific Northwesterners joined me in shaping the culture, benefits and brand of Starbucks—contributing not only to a business, but also the civic and entrepreneurial life of the area. I am no longer a resident of Washington. My decision to leave had much to do with family choices and my stage of life. Still, I feel a responsibility to speak up about the business and job climate in a city and state that gave me so many opportunities. Washington’s economic story over the past half century is extraordinary. Microsoft, Amazon, Costco and a host of other new companies transformed the state into a global center of technology, innovation and logistics. Entrepreneurs exported ideas worldwide. Capital flowed. Wages rose. Imported and homegrown talent flourished. That ecosystem worked because risk‑taking was rewarded, growth was possible, and civic leadership—while imperfect—understood that private enterprise wasn’t the adversary of the public good. It was one engine for improving the public sphere. That ecosystem is fractured today. Seattle and much of Washington face serious problems: chronic homelessness, disorder in core business districts, persistent budget deficits, declining public-school outcomes and a slowing technology hiring cycle. These challenges aren’t unique to the state—but Washington’s response to them is. Seattle’s mayor, Katie Wilson, has chosen to cast business as a foil rather than a partner. Her socialist rhetoric vilifies employers, even while she continues to rely on them for revenue. She has encouraged residents who disagree with her policies to leave. In the state capital, the Legislature and governor have confronted difficult fiscal trade-offs by emphasizing taxation rather than reform or performance management. The theory appears to be that prosperity can be mandated through redistribution rather than generated through growth. Washington has a broken tax system. The reliance on sales taxes—10.55% in Seattle—is deeply regressive. The state needs to rewrite its tax code across the board in a way that ensures people and businesses alike pay their share. But instead of reform, those in power have opted to increase the burden on businesses and successful entrepreneurs in ways that discourage them from growing within the state—at a moment when Washington’s economic situation is growing more fragile. Microsoft and Amazon—once hiring engines—have slowed recruitment and reduced head counts as they race to build data-center capacity and compete globally. Starbucks recently announced it will shift hundreds of corporate roles to Tennessee. These companies imported global talent at scale for decades, anchoring an interconnected system of suppliers and startups. As those businesses reduce their local role, Seattle has no clear answer to the question of what will provide the next set of jobs and revenue growth. Cities and states don’t decline overnight. They drift when public safety, fiscal stability and economic vitality deteriorate together. Downtown vacancies reduce foot traffic. Declining foot traffic weakens small businesses. Employment falls. Revenue shrinks. Services erode. Confidence—something that’s hard to build and easy to lose—begins to evaporate. Entrepreneurs are accustomed to accountability: If we fail to deliver value, we lose customers. If we misallocate capital, we absorb the loss. Government, too, should be judged by results, not intentions. In Washington, steadily increasing government spending hasn’t delivered commensurate results on a range of issues, from addressing homelessness and drug addiction to poor prospects for new high-school graduates. Entrepreneurs take risks others won’t. We build before certainty exists. We hire before revenue is guaranteed. We invest locally, pay taxes and support civic institutions. When our companies succeed, entire regions benefit. America can’t afford to forget that. Leaving doesn’t mean abandoning. My family foundation remains invested in Washington’s future, seeking to help the next generation achieve economic mobility and prosperity. But that future is linked to economic growth and job creation. Across the country, other states are competing for capital and talent by simplifying regulation, reforming tax systems and investing in workforce development. One important initiative comes from the bipartisan National Governors Association, helping states craft pro-entrepreneurship policies. I hope Washington’s leaders will embrace these policies and forge a new compact—one grounded in job creation, sensible taxation and accountable public spending. Washington once embodied the future of the U.S. economy, and it can again. But the current government needs to learn that future entrepreneurs won’t be attracted by ineffective public systems, especially when joined with policy and political rhetoric that demonize businesses. Mr. Schultz is a former CEO and chairman emeritus of Starbucks."

@Ksaktweets @ChrisDaniels_TV @mrandystevens Naw he sold his soul a long time ago before all the shenanigans. Fuck him

@ChrisDaniels_TV @mrandystevens Im cool with it. Lived here and has a huge positive impact on the city…still does.

Florida man writes op-ed about the City of Seattle………..

@WSJopinion @HowardSchultz I am pro business and not a far left activist type but @HowardSchultz was never Pro Seattle. Dude sold his soul a long time ago.

Seattle turns hostile to the great businesses it made. Starbucks is moving jobs from Washington state to Tennessee, and it isn’t alone in looking elsewhere, writes @HowardSchultz on.wsj.com/4uCiVCD

@BallKnowerfrfr @AdamSchefter All these analysts have bad takes. She misses just like the rest of them.

@AdamSchefter Good thing she can spell cuz she's fucking clueless when it comes to football 😂

ESPN’s Mina Kimes will serve as host of the 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee semifinals and finals – May 27 and May 28 – on ION. Kimes is a three-time school spelling bee champion herself, per sources.

Why does @MayorofSeattle not look ready for prime time? Being Mayor of a Major city, you gotta be ready for questions.

@Softykjr I would love to have a pre game party here if it was close lumen. Would be a cool spot before walking over to events

Not surprised. Went there once and was extremely underwhelmed. The location didnt help either. There's potential for something like this if they do it right.

@ChrisDaniels_TV Selling to Mark Zuckerberg would be horrible for Seattle. My choice would be Tim Cook.

@AdamKinzinger @joncoopertweets Yet they are gonna get away with it and supporters will still support.

If Israel is buying stolen Ukrainian grain, we have to wonder whose side Israel and Netanyahu are on? They can’t be the ally of democracy and freedom while empowering Russia. Period

@PeteHegseth @KidRock @USArmy What a waste…

Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸

@Jesusmvr01 Insecure much?

Imagine getting this over some crazy fun V8 real SUV just to say I drive a crappy EV and I’m superior than you

@VijayInWA Keep fighting the good fight. Hate most of the current policies but still my city.

Notwithstanding all that's wrong with city politics, Seattle remains the most beautiful city in America, if not the world.

@DNIGabbard She definitely sold her soul.

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.
