@mynameishamme What kind of President would he be if he couldn't remember person, woman, man, camera, tv? And you must think it's easy to identify a giraffe.

@Kevmath Man, they really are doing everything possible to crush the casual rec who comes to Vegas with one buy-in. Killing the golden goose.

@SamGreenwoodRIO @Martin_Jacobson @WSOP @Ali_Nejad Nick is great. High Stakes Poker has been so much better with him taking over for Gabe Kaplan.

@mynameishamme Getting major league vibes as he ran around the bases. But yes, kind of ridiculous.

@atrupar Hmmm. Sounds like someone just learned that dumb has a b.

@Tyler_Polumbus Surprised it wasn't Boebert...

@ReichlinMelnick @BrendanNyhan What major cities that have international airports are not blue with democratic mayors? Nashville? Dallas? Miami? Just checked. Nashville and Miami are Democrats.

@Tyler_Polumbus CB really fell off this year, even before getting hurt. Wonder if the pressure of the contract was too much.

Twitter enshitification continues. "Following" no longer just shows tweets from those you're following.

@idobadtakes It's really couples making around $90-150k per year without employer provided health insurance who get brutalized. $20k+ per year in premiums for "insurance" with $7k+ deductibles and no subsidies.

@SavagePoker @PokerTDA The first time I played in the Milly Maker, despite 6 of the table having pre-registered, only two of us showed up on time. They wouldn't start to deal until 4 were there, which took 45 minutes. It was infuriating TBH. You're late? The early birds should get your blinds.

[Bob Jones @bob_j]

@SavagePoker @PokerTDA Were you WSOP TD when Moneymaker won? On No Gamble No Future, Hellmuth and Moneymaker were talking about how it used to be if you weren't registered by noon you didn't get to play so Hellmuth would get blinded out for a few hours. Bring that back.

@DavidShuster Art of the Deal!

@bettersafetynet Software cos are shedding talent at a fast rate because of that force multiplier where Claude Code can replace a bunch of junior programmers. This is happening all over the place. Maybe the end result is those people will go do other great things. Or mass unemployment.

@bettersafetynet I had some similar conversations with Chat GPT last fall about strategies around the ACA and taxes. Financial and tax advisors are cooked. There is very little reason to pay a person when you can get really good advice from the AI bots.

@KyleClark Has anyone asked him if the Peters pardon was tied in anyway to the $50 million for drought relief that Trump finally released the day before the pardon?

[Bob Jones @bob_j]

@WUTangKids @atrupar Well you certainly could double or even triple his taxes without impacting his life one iota.
