@SamMonsonNFL As a complete soccer casual, my take on this is precisely the same as those who whined about the Chiefs--namely, if YOU GENUINELY BELIEVE THIS-you should have bet everything you have on Kalshi on Argentina, and praise FIFA as the most financially beneficial org on earth.

@NateSilver538 Calling it "partisan" feels misleading. That would indicate Ds feel this way in when Rs are president. That's not what the data says at all. Rather, it's Ds always hate this country.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@MarkSKrikorian Looks like a total defeat to me, but will have to let the legal scholars chime in I guess.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@Ihartitz Yeah, but many of those (Rice, Owens, Carter, Harrison) are the greatest to ever play. Assume "isn't great" is the norm.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@jaynordlinger Agree with everything but the "badly degraded" part, and any implication that is hasn't always been this way.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@Hadas_Gold CEOs touting efficiency gains in the face of layoffs are simply doing their job-protecting stock price. Most of the things listed here are the precise things (legal, compliance, operations) AI is really bad at (it makes random mistakes and requires strict oversight/curation).

@RichardHanania Used to be?? Bus=x.

Over at Substack, @JoshEakle asks: "It's 2026, and I have yet to see an anti-almond farm protest."

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@SamMonsonNFL 50 million is not anywhere close to the kind of money it would require to "pivot" to becoming a cloud compute provider.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@RichardHanania Gerrymandering is as old as the country, but "they started it" is not a premise that ever lends logical credence.

[Internet Slop @GimmickSlop]

this is still one of my favorite things on the internet

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@RealMNchiefsfan Framing the question a bit differently may help-Profitcorp CEO has sudden cash inflow (yay!) But what now? Hold it=Pay a bunch in taxes. Buy-backs=rarely move stock price. Dividends=buy-backs, but worse (relic of a bygone era). Expansion often seen as only growth option.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@maxtoscano1 @tejfbanalytics Said every 16 year-old ever. Steve Pinker has a book about why humans think this (as well as why it is blindingly false). Worth checking out, even tho it won't stop you feeling this way.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@DanHanzus By being a competent backup??? b/c he sure ain't no. 1 on that QB depth chart.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@ChuckFBass Love Sam, but this is very good.

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@JamesLiess @billbarnwell "Jets are paying $7 million of Fields' $10 million 2026 guaranteed salary. KC will pay the remaining $3 million, much like the Jets when they traded last week for Smith. As part of that trade, the Jets will pay Smith $3.3 million while the Raiders are paying him $16.2 million."

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@TomPelissero $3 mil for Fields is great, but I really need someone to explain how this all works financially (in regards to the salary cap, void years, etc.).

@SamMonsonNFL Very good pair of CBs... I hate them (the Rams, not corners, who I love). Who would they trade up for?

[John O'Neal @BillztheCat]

@TomPelissero @excelfootball My secondary just got picked off.
