Kansas has become the first team in the Champions Classic to reach 10 wins (10-6). They’re also the only team with a winning record against each team in the Champions Classic (4-2 against UK and 3-2 against Michigan State and Duke). Rock chalk!

I think the data center backlash is the best thing to happen to AI. For years, cheap capital let builders ignore the communities and their neighbors. Now they must design for them. Quieter cooling, their own power, a share of the tax base. Show average-day Americans WHY they should trust this technology being built. This is a time of OPPORTUNITY.

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls.

That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.

I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.

Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

The @Tesla Roadster demo was off the charts, but practically speaking...WTH? You'd need a pilots license, type rating, massive insurance, and I can't imagine what the retail cost would be. I will be more excited when they demo a car that people will actually want.

We’ve completely lost sight of the idea that the CFP is supposed to be a reward for teams that were exceptional during the regular season and give a number of deserving teams an opportunity to win out for a natty…

Not 7-5 SEC teams with “quality losses”

Bad Mayors, don't make good Governors.

[Stephen A Smith @stephenasmith]

Another barbershop stop, this time to kick it with former Atlanta Mayor, @KeishaBottoms, as midterm elections kickoff!

[David Shafer @DavidShafer]

The guy in the middle defeated me in the 2018 Republican primary for Lieutenant Governor, 50.1% to 49.9%, campaigning to my right and falsely claiming the endorsement of President Trump. His campaign slogan was: I will never apologize for being a pro-God, pro-gun conservative.

Dear @Delta,

I love your airline. I’m a retired DAL pilot and my wife is a former DAL FA. We’re also SkyMiles aficionados.

Please fix the WiFi thing. Delta Sync is bad. Starlink is great. Get over the Elon stuff. It’s very difficult to do business when flying on our jets. It’s too unreliable.

Please change it.

Signed,
Buzz & Nichole Patterson

Lobbyist spending helped pay for elected officials’ getaways to Florida beaches, Chicago and other destinations.

[David Wickert @dwickert]

Dozens of Georgia lawmakers had their trips to the beach and other locales paid for by lobbyists for some of the state’s most powerful interests. Those interests spent nearly $85,000 on lodging, meals and other travel expenses for elected officials.

Straight ticket Republican. I have voted for candidates I dislike, even one who beat me in a primary. But this fall is about more than party loyalty. The Democratic Party has become a vehicle for science-denying, anti-American socialists. Voting Republican is how we stop it.

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

@buzzbrockway You're missing out....#CHIEFS!

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

Back up the truck and get this man paid! Great job!

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

I know exactly how you feel. Races should not be decided by out of state funds nor corporate out of state PACs.

[Rep. Scott Hilton 🇺🇸 @ScottHiltonGA]

Great day speaking with friends, neighbors and colleagues to raise money for our campaign! ☎️

We face an opponent with more donors from NY, CA and IL than Georgia.

Let’s send a message that our race can’t be bought by outside donors. Give today!👇

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

My only issue with FSD is that it is too conservative in making unprotected left turns. That said, I love it 99.99999999 pct.

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

FSD on Mad Max is pretty great — and hopefully at some point it will learn to roll through stop signs when no cars/peds are present, like a normal sane human.

EDIT: when no cars/peds/cops are present. 😇👿

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

You and Susan are an amazing example to the world.

[Michael Dell 🇺🇸 @MichaelDell]

So proud to hear that our gifts are now showing up across the entire country in all 50 states. Susan and I are humbled to be part of something so meaningful and much bigger than any one family. 🫡🇺🇸

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

LMAO....silly liberal reporters.

[MAZE @mazemoore]

Here’s just a few of the “geniuses” who declared that “Elon destroyed Twitter” after he purchased this site.

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

@dwickert Thanks for your reporting. As a candidate that was leading his race before $1 million in out of area PAC money dropped, mostly by gambling, I learned first hand the corruption of the system. A corruption that nearly all elected officials purposely ignore.

[Carter Patterson @KUCarter]

I know EXACTLY how @burtjonesforga feels.

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

Donald Trump is trying to play peacemaker between Rick Jackson and Burt Jones after one of Georgia’s nastiest GOP primaries. Trump urged Jones to meet with Jackson. Jones responded: “He spent $150 million trashing me and my family.” 1/ #gapol
