Tweeting mostly random thoughts and KC sports-related rants, occasionally mixing in a topic that actually matters.

Recently, I keep thinking about Terminator when Sarah Connor was thrown into a mental asylum for sabotaging AI data centers owned by Skynet.

I hate that it’s a dome. The Chiefs are voluntarily surrendering their weather advantage. That said, if it just had to be a stupid dome, this looks pretty good.

[Kansas City Chiefs @Chiefs]

A legacy reimagined.

Every detail of our new stadium honors our past as we innovate for the future. Our home will amplify 70,000 of the world’s loudest fans, facilitate world-class tailgating, and preserve our unrivaled homefield advantage.

We’re thrilled to share our first official renderings with you.

Well tonight will definitely be the hardest I've ever rooted for a soccer game. Give 'em hell, @USMNT!

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The box turtle crossing your yard this morning may have been crossing that same ground before you were born.

Eastern box turtles can live over a century. Individuals have been documented at 120 years. And unlike most animals, they don't use that time to go anywhere. A box turtle may spend its entire life within 250 yards of the nest it hatched from.

It knows every log, every seep, every patch of shade in that radius the way you know your own kitchen.

This is why relocating one is such a serious problem. Move a box turtle a mile down the road and it will spend the rest of its life trying to walk home, crossing roads it doesn't know, exposed in territory it's never mapped. The shell protects it from predators. Nothing protects it from not knowing where it is.

The turtle in your yard isn't passing through. It lives there, in the same specific place it has always lived, doing the slow, methodical work of being a box turtle: eating mushrooms and berries and earthworms, dispersing seeds, getting through another season.

If it's large and worn-looking, with a shell that's gone dark and scratched with years, it may have been working that same patch of ground since before your neighborhood had a name.

Leave it where it is, chances are, it was there first.

Patrick Mahomes was filming a State Farm commercial in a local KC neighborhood which drew a big crowd of fans.

He made sure to go and meet + greet the kids and sign autographs for them after he was finished.

That’s our QB1 💪❤️

“So you spent $16.85 million on Jonathan India, Lane Thomas, and Bailey Falter?”

“Correct.”

“And they’ve been worth a combined -0.4 WAR.”

“That’s right.”
