@TheRobertPWills @FFT1776 It does happen. Bad news if you are a dude… youtube.com/shorts/Nv0r3JE…

@FFT1776 I've always thought Pole Vaulting should have a spotter that grabs the pole once the vaulter lets go of it so they don't get skewered. I realize this is probably the same probability level as running into a patch of quick sand, but it still bugs me.

The bar kept going up… and he just kept clearing it 😳 At what point does this even become humanly possible? This is insane!👏🏻

@FunMovieTVFan Michael Shannon?

Remember him?

@JeremiahDJohns @lymanstoneky 95% of new music and movies is suck-ass dreck. Maybe only some new episodic new TV shows have and edge with the line between cinema and TV having blurred significantly.

I've written about this before, but it's remarkable how much older music is strangling new music. And the same is true in books, movies, video games. Older media is taking up a bigger and bigger share of the market every year.

@FAITHplusSKILLS @ViewsAndTravel I would argue that in parts of the state, infrastructure is 3rd world or getting there.

@ViewsAndTravel As far as the land and the infrastructure goes, absolutely. Minus the gov’t, it’s truly perfect place to live. I long to get back one day.

Is California the best state in the USA?

@ViewsAndTravel It used to be…

@OneOutOf4 Concrete Blonde. Jonette Napolitono is one of the most unique and raw female vocalists in rock. Great band.

This band formed in 1982 in Hollywood. ‘Dance Along the Edge’ was released in 1987 and surprisingly failed to reach any major music charts. The vocalist has said this song is about “the edge between people and their fear of stepping over it. The fear of surrender and of being hurt. We suffer from the fear of opening up.” 👉🏻 Name the band.

@OneOutOf4 Payola$, Valley Girl

This Canadian band from Vancouver formed in 1978. ‘Eyes Of A Stranger’ was released in 1982 and it reached #4 on the Canadian RPM Chart and #22 on the US Top Rock Tracks. 👉🏻 Name the band. 👉🏻 What 80’s movie soundtrack was it on?

@Ike_Saul The enshittification of the rideshare industry is complete.

Feels like the surge charges, lack of availability, etc. has just destroyed Uber and Lyft. Anytime I’m arriving at airports or train stations now, I’ve found myself using taxi cabs again. They’re always right there, usually cheaper, and often a much more pleasant experience.

@CryptoInvstr64 @WallStreetApes If you want Hillbilly boonies you need drive up further into the Sierra Nevada foothills to North San Juan. Combination of hippy commune meets West Virgina mountain isolationists.

@WallStreetApes Roseville? Damn, that's way up near Rocklin, CA. Thought that was near hillbilly levels of living for California. Just crazy something like that would happen so far into the boonies.

California resident says she was in the women’s restroom with her very young children at Whole Foods A man walked into the women’s restroom, “He's like a pretty buff guy wearing this itty bitty girl's skirt” She tells him multiple times this is the women’s restroom and he needs to not be in there, he’s making her and her kids uncomfortable “And he's just like ignoring me. And I tell him again. And then he looks up at me finally and he's like, do you not know the California law? I don't care about the rules, the law. Like get your butt into the men's restroom. Like there's a woman in here, girls in here, kids in here. Like that is so inappropriate. It was at Whole Foods in Roseville and that just made me feel so uncomfortable and just disgusted and honestly pissed off. So stay in your lane, like go to the men's bathroom. Like why is it that hard?”

@WallStreetApes California is a broken failed state, it’s only inertia that has kept the facade of “4th or 5th largest economy in the world” schtick for Gavvie. We are like Wile E Coyote that just ran off a ledge but we are hanging in the air for a moment.

The new ‘LAX People Mover’ at the Los Angeles Airport is finally being tested This elevated train connects to terminals and parking and was supposed to open 3 years ago. It is now $1 billion dollars over budget. Costing $3.4 billion dollars Here’s a list of things that cost less than this new 2 mile LAX Airport Train: - The Beijing High Speed Rail $2.3 billion. 75 miles of train for half the cost of our 2 miles - Paying $100,000 to every homeless person in the city of Los Angeles - Overthrowing the government of Venezuela - The Apollo 11 mission to the moon (not adjusted for inflation) - The third tallest building in the world - The second tallest building in the world - Both these buildings COMBINED is still cheaper than the 2 miles of train at the LAX airport The cost of this 2 miles of train at LAX airport is $4.9 billion (this is the estimated cost to complete and operations)

@lsferguson What happened to the $100k H1b fee?

Every day we see layoffs at major American companies. Then we see these same companies hiring people on H-1B visas. There should not be one H-1B visa issued to any company that lays off Americans. Not. One.

@GuntherEagleman Both. But shifty Schiff holds a special seat of contempt in my palace.

Who would you like to see go down first, Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell?

@Bitcoin_Teddy The grabby hands of the California Dem Kleptocracy supermajority cabal knows no bounds.

California just passed a bill to seize Bitcoin left idle on exchanges. After 3 years of inactivity, assets can be taken by the state under 'Unclaimed Property' laws. Bill now heads to the Senate.

@Jaberdad81 @XFreeze Elon, reduce FSD subscription to $49 per month and the adoption rate will skyrocket.

@XFreeze Well yes, but the $99/month FSD subscription is probably cost more than the insurance being saved.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) is currently ~9x safer than the average human driver Because of this massive safety advantage, auto insurance providers like Lemonade are now offering Tesla owners up to a 50% discount on their per-mile premiums when FSD is engaged Choosing Tesla FSD driving is not just safer, but it also directly saves you money

Canada is becoming a shit hole

@otokyo__ President

What do you call someone who thinks they are superior to everyone else but deep down they are just completely stupid?

@JVMonte2 Nirvana in a small club before they broke big.

What concert do you regret not going to when you had the chance?

@GamewithDave The music and the personal connection. No mobile phones, no social media

People who actually experienced the 1990s: What is something you miss from that decade that just isn't the same today

@CAgovernor Like that new next generation 911 system and the ultra modern hi speed train… oh wait…

California is the world leader in innovation, so it's a no-brainer Californians should benefit from a government that uses the best technology available. My executive order ensures AI is used responsibly, makes state services easier to access, and protects people's data.

@BlueBoxDave @lymanstoneky We still need some immigration to fill the backlog to support our economy. Without immigration we go into a negative population growth scenario like Europe, Japan and Korea. What is the solution?

My problem with ending birthright citizenship is that we are clearly incapable of deporting the tens of millions of illegals already here. So we will create a massive population of non citizens living side by side us. That’s a recipe for disaster.
