Anson is what I would call left of center. Take a look at the replys to his post calling our a the Democrat that says "lawyer up" after the midterm results. The same people that loved him when he was posting about Republicans that say similar things are now attacking him.

Trump launched an unpopular and pointless war. Gas prices are too high. People can’t afford groceries. Trump abandoned the American First message. This is why Republicans are getting crushed. It’s very simple.

Sendo bem visceral na palavra (e até perdão por isso), mas existem 3 meios documentados de você se f*der na NBA sendo um jogador de alto calibre:
- péssima administração
- péssima montagem de elenco
- azar
Você pode ser como Luka Doncic e ter tido 1 elenco bom na sua carreira porque nunca conseguiram te dar o básico.
Você pode ser como Jimmy Butler e ter tido administrações que contavam com mais sorte do que juízo.
Ou você pode ser como Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, que viu 2 membros do big-3 que ele está incluído caírem por lesões brutais de uma forma azarada.
Mas mais do que isso, são 2 dos seus melhores amigos e jogadores que ele ajudou a moldar como um veterano de certa forma.
A comunidade de Oklahoma é diferente das outras da NBA, eu já escrevi sobre isso aqui. O intimismo da cidade irradia para a franquia de fora pra dentro.
Então da mesma forma que está sendo dolorido para o Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace e Alex Caruso, tá sendo pro SGA também.
Mas a NBA não se satisfaz com o azar puro e brutalista, ela quer que o roteiro seja cruel.
O roteiro precisa ser o Jalen Williams quebrando o tornozelo na frente do Shai, uma imagem que deve estar na cabeça dele até agora.
O roteiro precisa ser dar um gosto de que tudo pode voltar a ser como antes depois de uma vitória categórica pra cima dos atuais campeões do Oeste, que são seus nêmesis.
O roteiro é brutal…
SGA não sofre com má administração ou péssimas montagens de elenco, mas sofre puramente de azar.
E sofrer por algo que você não pode sequer controlar é de certa forma… triste.

There are moments that you just cherish and thank God that you were able to experience them. This was one of them. Standing on the set of the Borg Ship, watching Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard say goodbye to his friends. To watch it on the screen is so heartfelt, to be there and see this wonderful actor say these words to his friends it just hit harder. There was so much weight on the set and those weren't just amazing lines that Terry had wrote, they felt real. It was the words said between friends that had been on a long journey together, that was coming to a close. You will ALWAYS be our Captain. You did everything right.
Rest in Peace Captain/Professor

Mark Daigneault said that when the Nuggets subbed their starters out with 1:43 to go, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said it was the right thing for him to sub out too, even at the cost of his 141-game streak of 20+ points.
Shai's reason why: "You always treat the game with respect."

Accurate.
AI is a tool. It's *how* you use it. Some will figure that out and profit; others will ignore it and miss out. Complaining about it on Twitter won't stop or slow its adoption, but you can choose to use it in responsible (and creative) ways.
There are real concerns about AI, including security, privacy, overvaluation, intrusive data centers, impact on job markets, and the people/companies who control it, so we should be talking about those things.
But making a sweeping generalization about all of it as "bad" is naive.
This is why I like the idea of running local AI and agents, as it starts to democratize this technology a bit vs. the online subscription model controlled by a few companies.

Georgia is 30-2 all time as the AP number 1 team vs unranked opponents...
both losses came to Auburn.
J. Brandon Powell retweeted
Auburn is 4-2, with a win over #1 UGA, a 5-point loss to Florida, who destroyed Ole Miss and just beat Texas on the road, and a road loss to Tennessee, who is destroying Alabama.
RANK US COWARDS.

J'ai vu une Tesla décoller. Et j'ai entendu beaucoup de bêtises.
« Ça ne sert à rien. » « Gadget de milliardaire. » « Qui a besoin d'une voiture qui vole ? »
Personne. Et c'est exactement pour ça que c'est important.
En 1978, Brabham a aligné en Formule 1 une voiture équipée d'un ventilateur géant à l'arrière. Il aspirait l'air sous le châssis et plaquait la voiture au sol. Elle a gagné sa première course avec une avance insolente. Elle a été interdite immédiatement.
Quarante-huit ans plus tard, on y revient. Un système de succion qui colle la voiture à la route et lui permet de passer sous la seconde au 0 à 100.
Personne n'a « besoin » de faire le 0 à 100 en moins d'une seconde. Comme personne n'a besoin d'une Formule 1. Et pourtant : les freins carbone de votre berline, l'hybridation de votre moteur, l'aérodynamique de votre SUV, les palettes au volant — tout ça vient de voitures de course que personne n'utilisera jamais pour aller au travail.
La Formule 1 ne sert à rien. Pourtant elle sert à tout.
En 1973, quand la France a lancé Ariane, l'Europe sortait de onze échecs consécutifs du programme Europa. La presse parlait d'argent jeté dans l'espace. Vingt ans plus tard, Ariane détenait la moitié du marché mondial des lancements commerciaux, et chaque satellite de télévision, de météo ou de GPS que vous utilisez a bénéficié de cette obstination.
Le progrès a toujours la même tête au début : un truc inutile, cher, ridicule, construit par des gens qu'on prend pour des fous.
Ce que j'ai vu à Dallas, ce n'est pas une voiture volante. C'est un châssis, une gestion de l'énergie et une maîtrise des flux d'air que l'industrie automobile mettra dix ans à digérer.
Les applications viendront : sécurité, freinage, stabilité, consommation. Elles finiront dans des voitures ordinaires conduites par des gens qui expliqueront, en 2036, que tout ça était évident.
La question n'est jamais « à quoi ça sert ».
La question est : qui ose encore construire des choses qui ne servent à rien ?
Il y a cinquante ans, c'était nous. La fusée, le TGV, le Concorde, le Minitel.
L'Europe construisait des choses absurdes et magnifiques.
Aujourd'hui, on commente depuis le siège arrière car nous sommes hors course.
Merci @elonmusk de nous faire rêver

This whole "blame the boomers" narrative is getting old.
If the people you're complaining about are 46–61 years old, most of them aren't boomers. They're Gen X.
And honestly, Gen X is exhausted from hearing the same complaints on repeat.
We didn't get free college. Most of us never had guaranteed pensions. Housing wasn't magically cheap when adjusted for inflation, and plenty of us spent decades working, sacrificing, and starting from scratch.
Every generation faces its own challenges. Ours did too.
The difference is that we were taught that life isn't fair, nobody is coming to rescue you, and success usually comes from adapting, working, and pushing forward when things don't go your way.
You don't have to like that message, but constantly looking for someone else to blame won't improve your situation.
At some point, personal responsibility matters more than finding a new generation to be angry at.

Minnesota beat Michigan earlier today, and this might the best postgame locker room video I've ever seen 😲😲

Three of the officials that failed to catch Tennessee's onside kick on Saturday were also part of the crew that failed to catch Oklahoma's illegal "hideout play" vs. Auburn last season, @FootballScoop research has found.
