@BlissyOnX @BuffaloBills Jalon Kilgore will be a monster if they use him right.

@BuffaloBills which picks u thinkll age the best this class? always curious where the real value lands after the hype dies down

And that's a wrap on the 2026 NFL Draft. 👏

@ianmiles @JebraFaushay Do you think it could be their approach to destroying bots? Maybe the audience was never really real, and a come to reality moment is finally starting to be noticed.

@JebraFaushay I’m hearing the same thing from all the Dubai creators. That’s what provoked me to write this.

The X algorithm is broken, and it's killing the platform from the inside out. It's gotten measurably worse, and it now barely registers something as fundamental as how many people chose to follow you. Small accounts can't grow organically. Large accounts watch their reach collapse month over month. Post too much and you're throttled. Post too little and you're forgotten. There is no winning move because the system isn't designed for anyone to win. It's designed to keep everyone anxious, posting more, and dependent on whatever the model decided that morning. I'm personally down 95% from a year ago. Ninety-five percent. I get more views and replies on Instagram with 20,000 followers than I do here with a following many multiples of that. Every serious creator, journalist, and news account I know is reporting the same collapse. This isn't a handful of cranks complaining but a structural failure visible in the numbers across the entire creator class. The damage runs deeper than impressions. The algorithm has quietly redefined what kind of person you're allowed to be on this platform. If you stay relentlessly inside one "niche," you get rewarded. If you post like an actual human being with multiple interests — politics, tech, gaming, culture, memes — you get punished. The system literally works against diversity of thought, which is supposed to be the entire point of a town square. It funnels everyone into narrower and narrower lanes until creators stop being people and start being content categories. The user experience is just as broken as the creator experience. Imagine subscribing to a dozen tech and science channels on YouTube and being shown unrelated slop instead. That's the For You feed now. Most of the accounts on my timeline are random accounts I never asked to see, while the people I actually chose to follow get buried. The "systems-first" approach the team is so proud of has turned a social network into a slot machine and the engagement numbers everyone is whispering about in group chats prove the experiment isn't working. Here's the part nobody at X seems willing to say out loud: followers used to be social capital, and the algorithm has retroactively devalued every account on the platform. All of us, aside from the legacy celebrities who arrived with audiences pre-built, clawed our way up from zero. We posted through the woke years, the bot waves, the policy changes, the verification chaos. We built something. And then one day a model decided our followers don't really count anymore. Treating creators this way is the digital equivalent of how communist regimes treat entrepreneurs: confiscate the value they built, redistribute it to whoever the central planner prefers this week, and call it fairness. It also makes no business sense. Creators are not a cost center on this platform — we are the platform. The reason anyone opens the app is because someone they want to hear from is here. When you suppress that signal in favor of algorithmic guesses, you don't just hurt creators — you train users to leave. People are already migrating their best work to Substack, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, where follower relationships still mean something. X is speedrunning the same mistake every dying platform makes: confusing engagement metrics with actual loyalty. The fix isn't complicated: Give us back a real Following feed that respects the explicit choice users made when they hit the follow button. Let the For You tab handle discovery — that's its job — but stop overriding the social graph people built deliberately. Make follower count weight something meaningful again. Stop punishing topical range. Stop boosting unverified randoms over accounts users have actively opted into. And stop pretending an opaque ranking model is more legitimate than the user's own stated preferences. X is supposed to be the free speech platform. But suppression by algorithm is still suppression — it just has better PR. If the team is serious about this being a town square, the people who showed up and built it deserve to actually be heard by the audiences they earned. Fix the algorithm. Give followers back their meaning. Let creators be human again.

@JROBBI @BuffaloBills About 5% of the entire NFL are 7th rounders 🤷‍♂️

@BuffaloBills How many 7th round picks have actually made the team roster?

Trade alert.

@realDannyAF @Merk256 @AaronQuinn716 From what I have heard for context, I had a friend one time that did one of those around the country picks where they show people in different regions. Apprently the drill the name into you before they go live. So my guess it was top of whats left of his mind. Sad though.

@Merk256 @AaronQuinn716 I noticed, but also thought, Conlan has an issue reading “35th” and “2016”, but no issue reading/pronouncing Igbinuson’s name…??

BTW, we all flew by this, but I want to circle back and just point out what a classy move it was by Paul Posluszny to assist Shane Conlan on the announcement of the 62nd pick after Conlan struggled a bit w/ the #Bills 35th pick. Posluszny has always been a class act #BillsMafia

@AldoReins @St__Troy @johnkonrad I know my history but the tech revolution wa mostly America. We can go back to the industry revolution but that kind of proves my point on europe not being relevant since my grandfather was born 😅

@LikeAChamp33 @St__Troy @johnkonrad You really need to look at where the Industrial Revolution started to realise who kicked it all off little boy

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

@takahiro_s41 @jellyrancher97 @learning_yohei @todp42 I hope for your sake if China ever does such a thing we have the united bulwark of south Korea Philippines Japan american and Taiwan all fighting together to hold the line. Possibly blockade China if necessary and yes keep it at sea. We are allies 🙏

@jellyrancher97 @learning_yohei @todp42 市民は避難します。 自衛隊が対処します。 島国なので海上で食い止めることを期待しています。

日本からこんにちは🇯🇵👋アメリカ人に質問があります🇺🇸僕は本物の銃を見たことがありません。アニメや映画でしか見たことがありません。アメリカ人は本物の銃を見たことがあるんですか？それは普通のことなんですか？🤔

@AldoReins @St__Troy @johnkonrad Our culture and dominates the globe. I know because i actually travel. You'll run out of money wayyyy before we will so good luck with that arrogance while you speak on the internet we invented. Using a phone or computer that we invented likely watching tv we also invented 🙃.

@St__Troy @johnkonrad Yes, of course it does. That isn’t delusional at all. You keep telling yourself that, in our language that you speak

@TradersConf The secret is other areas of expertise find the thing. Is it quantum physics. Is it the moral fibers of man. Is it another mystery unsolved. Get curious and find somwthing new and youll find a new meaning every time you wake up. Best of luck 🤝

Follow us for more trading confessions :) -> @TradersConf

I’m 19, I make over $30k a month from trading and have zero purpose. I sit inside my room all day, not grinding, but just rotting away on social media. I have no drive for teaching (I tried, didn’t like it. Refunded everyone.) which people say fulfills them. I go to college for fun & I was always academically at the top and it still does nothing for me. Traveling doesn’t fulfill me, nor does any of these arbitrary “hustle” hobbies like reading or like gym which I already do. I seriously don’t know what I should do with my life.

@phynxonchain @AdamSchefter Kubiak is the best option if its Brady the fans will go insane and not in a good way at all....also would be the same I think if we get Daboll but I think he wants the job the most.

@AdamSchefter who do you think gets the bills job? feels wide open

The updated NFL head coach landscape: 🏈Giants: John Harbaugh 🏈Falcons: Kevin Stefanski 🏈Dolphins: Jeff Hafley 🏈Bills: 🏈Steelers 🏈Ravens 🏈Browns 🏈Titans 🏈Cardinals 🏈Raiders Three down, seven to go.

@Obsidianyogi @venom1s Say you're not a man or a traveler without saying it. Those has happened to me in Western Europe a lot as well Czech Ukraine before the war as well as the Phillipines Thailand and others including Columbia and parts of Japan and China as well. It might just be they want to leave!

@venom1s India is the only country where its filled with female creeps, they are an embarrassment

Look how these Indian women approached a random white guy and started talking to him. When I made a post about how they treat Indian men badly, I received so much hate. My point was - Why do they treat white men so well, while the same women call Indian men creepy? Maybe 1 percent of men are bad, but that doesn’t excuse treating all men badly. Many white women also complain that white men are creepy. Aren’t Indian men the reason they survive? Then why so much hate?

@financedystop Look up Ghost kitchen and be afraid. Some are people microwave lmao 😅🤣

There’s an entire subset of the population in America who sells “Plates” off of facebook marketplace for like $15-$40 dollars and its just people cooking from their kitchen selling food

@beardedninja26 @czabe Or if you believe they simultaneously caught the ball it goes to the offense. Since he is touched on the ground with control but you know either way I think its hard to decide ao quickly with plenty if anecdotal evidence from other catches....

@czabe Ball can be knocked out while “surviving the ground”. Honestly probably happens every Sunday but usually ends up incomplete

The rule is “survive the ground” not, “survive a guy stealing the ball while you are busy surviving the ground and making a third step with a football move and having firm control.”

@beenwashburn @jion_12345 @stoolpresidente What is surviving the ground end? So two steps put its in the pocket falls from knee to back with it still and he is rolled by the defender after being touched several times...when is he down? I really want to know plus simultaneously possession goes to the offense.

@beenwashburn @jion_12345 @stoolpresidente What about this? Ball in arm whole body down on ground with defender touching him....this appears he survived the ground here as it would drop to the ground otherwise....

I will watch this till the end of time saying Cooks had total control of the ball when he hit the ground

@wester68 @RealSkipBayless And a thigh and a hip and horizontal woth joint control ties go to offense.

@RealSkipBayless Two feet and a knee

COOKS HAS IT LONG ENOUGH.

@ChrisBrownBills Catch though.... and down by contact...at this angle if the ball was in his chest it would have hit the ground here....possession with steps....whats a catch anymore @NFL

McDermott on the non-Cooks catch that was ruled an INT: it would seem logical to me to check and see and make sure. I called timeout to slow down their review process. It’s hard for me to understand why it was ruled the way it was. That’s a pivotal play. I’m saying it because I’m standing up for Buffalo. The players are owed a review. #Bills

@sq_quinn @AaronQuinn716 Better angle...yupppp

@AaronQuinn716 Didn’t fully catch it….. what do you mean. Has full possession. Lands with a knee down. The defender didn’t have a hand on the ball. And then rips it out after possession and a knee. Unbelievable. Rigged as always

Tie goes to offense.

@haremherd Wegmans is your friend 🙃 you can get a giant sub and it'll feed a fair amount of folks can stay through the while game with the cold. Also can snag some beer if thats your thing. If not theres plenty of things to drink that and enjoy. Dress very warm...its cold and snowy here!

@LikeAChamp33 I’m flying in from across the country 😭

It’s finally happening. I am going to my first Bills game. I’ve got my flight, my hotel, my rental car, my ticket, I just want to pick your brains on how game day actually works. Parking? Tailgating? What time should I get to the stadium for a 4:25 game? What do I bring? Thanks!

@AAStack @sasha_banichek Most safes have pick instructions or lock break videos on the internet....do your research and dont buy something thats googlable or YouTube crackable... Also dont order your safe online typically unless you need something really special...sometimes hacks are done for hit list

So I did something “smart” when silver hit $50. I bought $5,000 worth of physical silver. Roughly a 100 oz bar. About 7 pounds. Basically a shiny brick. Now my wife and I are traveling to Europe… …and I’ve discovered silver ownership is a full-time problem 😂 I don’t have a safe. I don’t want to leave it at home. My bank literally said “we don’t store that.” And I’m seriously debating walking through TSA with a metal bar like a Minecraft character. Like what do people actually do? – Install a $2,000 safe to protect a $5K bar? – Pay monthly storage like it’s a gym membership? – Bury it in the backyard and hope no one mows the lawn? – Or just carry my medieval treasure chest everywhere like a pirate? Everyone shouts “PRECIOUS METALS = FREEDOM!!!” Meanwhile I’m here stressing over how to babysit a rock. Any advice?
