hate cliches but tell the same jokes | a contrarian trying not to be a hypocrite

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Adam Carolla makes Terry Bradshaw eat his words after he called Aaron Rodgers a “liar” over his vax status:

BRADSHAW: “Learn not to lie. Because that’s what you did, Aaron. You lied to everyone.”

CAROLLA: “Aaron Rodgers tried to lie because you and the rest of society were FORCING him to inject a substance into his healthy body that... he knew that he didn’t need to inject it."

"Nobody needed the vaccine LESS than Aaron Rodgers.”

“I hate it when people force people into lying and then go, 'You know he lied.'"

“Yeah, he f*cking lied… You know who lied? Every Jéw who told a Nazi he wasn’t a Jéw in 1942... You Nazis forced people to lie.”

Elon Musk just exposed the one lie every modern nation tells itself.

Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon.”

Rotary phones. Computers the size of rooms. Slide rules.

We put a human on the moon with less processing power than your watch.

Musk: “Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”

The most advanced nation in human history went from footprints on the moon to zero capability of leaving the atmosphere.

That is not a funding problem.

That is civilizational decay dressed up as a policy decision.

Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”

That sentence should keep you up tonight.

We treat progress like gravity. Like it pulls us forward whether we try or not.

It is the opposite.

Progress is a boulder on a hill. The second you stop pushing, it rolls back over you. And it never announces itself.

Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”

They did not run out of stone.

They were not conquered.

They got comfortable. And the knowledge bled out so quietly that nobody noticed until it was already gone.

That is the real threat to everything we have built.

Not a nuclear flash. Not an asteroid. Not some dramatic Hollywood collapse.

A quiet forgetting.

Every chip we fabricate. Every rocket we launch. Every data center we power. All of it held together by a thin fraction of the population working at a pace that would break most people.

The moment that fraction gets tired or outnumbered by people who believe the machine runs itself, everything dissolves.

And here is the part nobody wants to say out loud.

We are not special. We are running the same operating system as every civilization that came before us.

Comfort is the sedative. Complacency is the flatline.

One generation that stops fighting is all it has ever taken.

You do not lose the future in a war.

You lose it in your sleep.

@danorlovsky7 All the ESPN execs patting you on the back smiling while you generate talking points for hot garbage takes are the same ones knowing they’re getting rid of you when Mendoza is a vastly superior pro than Simpson next year. They win both ways and your left a fool. Smh

@NFL_DovKleiman Very fast release which has been overlooked and is more important in the pros than in college.

@cvpayne is having a day. Damn prompter operator is ready for the weekend apparently. I have an AI driven teleprompter business proposal to talk to you about Charles. DM me.

@JLoughlin7728 @Hassel_Chris Yes, it’s a classic case of TDS. No need to take him to the hospital it’s usually not life threatening. Just a virtual visit to get a prescription strength 3 year slow release sedative.

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.

On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".

Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.

Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.

Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.

Rest in peace, Chuck!

@jacobs_and12334 @ESPNLosAngeles @Sedano @ScottKaplan @Corporate_Greg Huh, they signed Trey immediately upon this who they negotiated with prior to backing out of the trade further proving my point exactly. So I guess in a sense you’re right just not factually up to date.

[Wesley Peterson @WesPeterson]

@dustinswedelson @JesseSBSN @VSiNLive They already knew everything they needed to know with the injury before they agreed. The Ravens got a competitive advantage by feigning a trade they knew they could back out of if the effects of that announcement went in their favor.

[Wesley Peterson @WesPeterson]

@ESPNLosAngeles @Sedano @ScottKaplan @Corporate_Greg This is the type of things that happen right before the league has to change rules because of exploiting the expectation of good faith, decency and the practice of gentlemanly agreements.

@DefiantLs If we were smart and not dumb we would have executed the Col Macgregor plan. Iran has so many ports. We just link up to them all and towed Iran right off the edge of the earth with tugboats. Fully autonomous tugboats so as not to lose any military personnel. Obviously.

Obsession with the Giza pyramid complex. Not hard to believe really. It's not the most technologically impressive feat human kind has achieved. Its an inspiration to what's possible.

Totally real.
