LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida.
Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama.
He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation.
I’ll tell you exactly what’s happening here. Why Spencer Pratt was 10 points ahead on election night, yet at the same time, Nithya Raman magically skyrocketed on prediction markets.
This is what happens with TV shows that are filmed in advance of their airdate. Survivor, for example. It wraps filming months before it airs to the public. The entire production crew already knows who won. So they pour their money into prediction markets to “guess” the winner. Every season, one person magically has 99% odds of winning before a single episode has even aired. And somehow that person always ends up winning.
Same thing is happening here. The people controlling the ballots already know the outcome before the votes are even “counted”.
We live in a fucking banana republic. 🤬
The life of a millennial:
- Graduated straight into a recession
- “Entry level” jobs required years of experience
- Pensions replaced by the 401k
- Promoted at work meant a 2% raise & 200% more responsibility
- finally felt stable… then a pandemic hit
- Highest inflation in 50 years deleted pay raises
- home prices doubled, renting became permanent
- Childcare costs feels like another rent
- Juggling aging parents, young kids, burnout from work & the cost to live
- AI causing mass layoffs during peak earning years
6 years ago today, the NBA suspended the season during the Knicks-Hawks game due to the COVID pandemic.
The Knicks let Vince Carter of the Hawks get one last shot in before the abrupt end to his 22-year career 👏
Was just upstairs laying w my 3-year-old, giver her my world famous nightly back scratch to help her fall asleep
I noticed she was staring up at the ceiling
I wondered if she’d articulate an answer if I questioned what she was thinking about, given that she’s 3
So I asked her, “what’re you thinking about sweetheart?”
She sat there for about 3 seconds
Turned her head towards me
“Turtles”
That’s a mental state I yearn for. Not stress. Not work. Not shit I need to do.
Just turtles
Last political post for awhile I hope, but this has to be said.
I’m not a Trump supporter and honestly, a lot of people who aren’t Trump supporters are still completely fed up with the far left right now.
Not because of “progress,” or “fairness,” or any of the values they claim to own. It’s because of the behavior: the purity tests, the tribalism, the reflex to label anyone who disagrees, even slightly, as an enemy. One wrong word, one nuanced opinion, one “I don’t fully agree,” and suddenly you’re a fascist, a bigot, or “part of the problem.” That’s not activism. That’s a cult mindset.
Compromise is treated like betrayal. Questions are treated like violence. And “the science” gets invoked like a religious slogan, right up until the data becomes inconvenient, then it’s ignored, reframed, or shouted down. Meanwhile, the same people who demand empathy have none for anyone outside their in-group.
Normal people are exhausted. We want solutions, not moral grandstanding. We want reality, not ideology. And we’re done pretending this kind of insane extremism is “just being passionate.”
Sincerely,
Normal people everywhere

@PCALive Plenty of people file injury claims when their vehicles are struck by debris. They'll even get attorneys to take their case if a commercial company was at fault.
