I don't think it's about his politics. You Tube has had ads for years.  People are going on to watch videos.  It's like Spotifiy where some people pay to not have ads.   He got rid of a verification system that was attractive for journalists.  Now anyone can be verified for a price.  He devalued a main attraction for people seeking news and information from verifiable sources on the site.  The platform has had issues with data which seem to stem for an inability to pay bills.  It's not just that the platform didn't work properly.  It's that it didn't work and they implemented changes that were not announced as temporary and it was easily attributable to a revenue issue.  The company is getting sued due to layoffs and the failure to honor severance agreements.  While lawsuits are sometimes inevitiable, the scope of the suits against the company seems unusual.  Then there are issues like the  projected revenue being down for advertisement and interactions by users have dropped. 

Maybe Musk will be able to right the ship but it's not heading in a good direction currently.   

It was clear that journalists egos got badly bruised when they were treated like the rest of us and asked to pay up for verification - but I don't think Kempski was ever verified though.  I suspect it's a hive mind thing and someone is testing the waters for the other bigger fish out there.

The best thing about the schedule is only 3 1:00 games. I know people love 1:00 games, but I like being able to focus on the majority of the games on Sunday without the Eagles in the way and then when 4:00 comes, you can focus on the Eagles as a lead in to SNF. I also love when it starts out light and ends as it gets darker.

It sucks for Europe. Lots of late games.  Almost too many 4pm games for an East Coast team. But at least i have no projects this year and early morning calls...

Hopefully he's been off the 'roids long enough to test negative.  Dude looks JACKED.

I thought this was an effing joke, but apparently not.  Dog supposedly ingested ibuprofen.  You risked your life, as well as the life of everyone on the road, so that you can get your dog's stomach pumped?  Wow. 

Somehow, this is even worse than just driving 140 miles an hour because you're a stupid kid.

 

 

 

 

So he was out at 3AM, in a Lambo, and he somehow knew about a dog emergency at his residence. Ok.

Exactly.

Also, PSA, if your dog swallows something, you can get them to vomit.  There's actually a dog poison control hotline that you can call and they will walk you through it.  (It's not free, they charge something like $50 for the service...)

Oh - that's fine, he just drove recklessly and put other drivers at risk for the sake of his dog.  

To be fair, I like my dogs more than 99.9% of people.  So I'll run over your face if one of them gets sick and not think twice!

Yeah, I think you’re way off on this one.

The entire reason to own a Lambo is to respond to emergencies quickly. I think this is true.

He's dead on.  People who would have no issue paying $5 a month or whatever it is having their ego and making a big stink out of it.  Naracists detached from reality.

I also thought another play made an All-Pro, missed the same box how do you spoiler tag?

On desktop, I just use:

Threads sucks for now. Twitter is going down the toilet quickly. Zuck is an predatory creep who would sell his grandma for a profit. Musk is narcissistic edge lord who never learned when to STFU.

The only reliable source of information at this point is the EMB and Elliot Shorr-Parks.

Twitter?  Nah, seeing how the likes of the BBC still can't let it go on Musk is indicative of their mindset; NPR were another whose toys exited the pram.  As you might tell, I don't have much respect for the modern journalist class or their self righteousness. 

However, I don't think the "X" super app will take off nor do I think Musk will get a ROI at all.  He got suckered into paying over the odds for a badly run company and it'll be a millstone around it's neck.

I'll leave that there.

As a casual Twitter user, I don't see any issue with Twitter as it is. Can you explain why it's going down the toilet? The biggest difference I see now is that my timeline is full of people saying they don't like Twitter now.

My personal opinion is that it's a bunch of butthurt people who don't like Elon Musk, probably because he doesn't bow down or follow any political ideology. 

Twitter is fine. I see the tweets I want to see and quite frankly, other accounts I've found to be interesting have been suggested to me.

I'm wondering when they'll officially reveal the new (old) uniforms, I thought that they'd have done it by now.

Seems like we're getting close:

Curious if BlueSky will end up being a hit that replaces twitter 

Please don't laugh at me 🙂  But when does training camp start for the Eagles.  I am so pumped about this season.  I live in KC and I am still bitter about our SuperBowl lost.  I cannot wait for when we meet the Chiefs this season.

Certainly Musk and how unlikeable he is make a difference for a lot of people.

Any app that will allow you to see tweets from the people you follow in chronological order and with only a moderate amount ads can be a competitor.

Does he live rent free in heads that easily? I didn't like how Jack Dorsey ran things but I never let it upset me when I was using the app.

Honestly, I don’t recall ever seeing a tweet from him. Elon, on the other hand, is front and center daily it seems, and frequently makes an arse out of himself. He annoys me, but it won’t determine what app I visit. I’ll go where the best info is.
