@FanboysComics @NanobeatzMike The thing that truly made MJ the GOAT is any weaknesses he had early on he worked on so they became strengths. After the Pistons pushed him around, he hit the weight room in the offseason to make sure that would never be a factor again.

@FrankMarco44337 @ChicagoContrar1 Obama lived in Chicago for 20 years. What qualifies someone to be able to say they are “from Chicago”?

@CraigG92375 @faithfulsoul70 @GuntherEagleman The Cubs owners have invested billions to update Wrigley Field and the neighborhood around it and you think they’re going to move? 😂

@Ev3ryb0dyCounts @damiankelleher The poster said "A teacher's day is done by 3 pm. They never work a night or weekend unless they want to. Only 180 work days per year, they're off 1/2 the time." Not sure how you can take that any way other than implying teachers never need to work outside the school day.

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@Ev3ryb0dyCounts @damiankelleher The quoted poster is implying that teachers don’t do any work after school gets out. At school or at home. Anyone in education knows a good teacher can’t do that.

@ededed1579379 @WallStreetApes Football stadiums especially don’t add much to the local area. I’m glad cities and states have started to figure this out and won’t just give teams unbelievable tax breaks just to say they have a football stadium. https://t.co/fJCGAPcUIq

I'm having Gemini help me wipe out a Bitcoin miner than invaded my server. One of its suggestions what to disallow sudo access through my main user. I asked it how would I know the password for the user (since I didn't think that user had a password. Here is its response.

@theliamnissan This is when I finally realized Musk’s tech genius was fake. Describing the tech stack of a software application is a basic requirement of a job in software engineering. He had owned Twitter for months at this point and had no idea what ran the site.

I don't post about this when it was originally reported because I wanted to verify that it was true, but the Trump admin has actually created a slush fund to pay off Trump allies using taxpayer money. People will forget about this in a week or two, but we are being robbed blind.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Ok. so they really went ahead and did a $1.766 BILLION slush fund for MAGA. it will "come from the judgment fund, which is a perpetual appropriation allowing DOJ to settle and pay cases."

@Kobblestone0125 @CommonSenzz1 @Mark___Taylor @FreeNortherner I'm not saying there aren't gerrymandered districts in Illinois. Using a district as an example that is fully in Chicago isn't making a point against gerrymandering since there is no way to slice up Chicago and get a Republican district, though.

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@CommonSenzz1 @Mark___Taylor @FreeNortherner Show me how you can create a Chicago district that would elect a Republican.

@RealDrizzyEdits @glenn_kinley Playing time.

@benbackupbackup What page is that paragraph on? I can't find it anywhere in the PDF I shared.

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@benbackupbackup @esjesjesj Once Hitler came to power he did the opposite of much of what he said he supported in terms of socialism. I read your article, so I hope you'll also read research that supports the majority position that posit Hitler was not a socialist. https://t.co/5F3BhHtop5

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@benbackupbackup @esjesjesj I read it and it is countered by the massive evidence of what Hitler actually did. He took state-run companies and privatized them, purged the left, and joined forced with industrialists. The Nazis weren't about class struggle, but instead focused on race and unifying Germans.

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@benbackupbackup @esjesjesj I said I'll read it, but it's important to understand an author's potential bias when reading research or opinion pieces. This author has a blatant bias and if you don't see that I'd say I'm not the one who is coping.

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@benbackupbackup @esjesjesj Cite your sources. In what private conversations did Hitler support socialism? Hitler's purges started with socialists and most of his supporters were wealthy industrialists once he took power.

@roblot31playa @GourdieReport @CoachUnderwood @macdaddy0324 He is a first round pick and maybe even a lottery pick if he stays one more year. He’s not staying in the draft.

[Derek Miller @DRockMiller]

@itsAntWright He's just going to go through the process to be more familiar with it for next year. I'm sure he'll make more money staying at Illinois. I'd be shocked if he stays in the draft.
