It’s going to take me a very long time to get used to the fact that any kicker you’ve never heard of and was signed four days before the game can hit from 60 now.

Sophomore slump was inevitable. Especially for someone running a Kliff Kingsbury offense (which has seven plays).

People have got to get better at learning how to spot these frauds who are just biding their time to reveal their big heel turn.

Devoted a year of my life to this and it kind of made me (more) the joker.

Everyone still on twitter is well aware of what it and Musk are. They just don't think it's a deal breaker. People who shrug at this stuff are doing more to give it strength than people who openly cheer it. But they're not ready for that, they just wanna drive their fancy car and Do Numbers on X.

Less worried about the brain-dead people who continue to insist Musk is a good person (You will never reach them!) and more worried about the large demographic of people who simply choose not to think about it lest it inconvenience them or require them to change anything they do.

People don't need more evidence to conclude he's a white supremacist. Evidence isn't the issue here. The problem is convincing people that white supremacy is a threat rather than something they can elide and quietly benefit from without actually saying they like it.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.

“What if AI could…” It can’t.

“Have you ever wanted AI to…” No.
