@FWC26KansasCity@Chiefs@GEHAField@VisitKC@SportingKC@KansasCity The transportation for Arg-Alg was a disgrace. fans who paid in advance were treated like cattle, forced to wait over 3 hours under the sun with no answers. got to stadium minutes before kickoff by luck. complete operational failure. Fans deserve refunds and accountability.
@FWC26KansasCity transportation was a disgrace.Thousands of fans who paid in advance were treated like cattle forced to wait 3+ hours under the sun with no answers. arrived at the game minutes before kickoff purely by luck. our driver got lost. This was a complete operational failure.
“Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires vigilance, dedication, and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us—and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, a world of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who saunters along.”
— Carl Sagan
You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....
I was born and raised in Appalachia ... These very people could be my relatives ..... but ... I .... got common sense from my granny ----- "question everything". VIA~Lee Murphy

🔙 Un día como el de hoy, pero de 1989, Diego Maradona realizaba esta mítica entrada en calor en la previa del encuentro entre Bayern Munich y Napoli, por las semifinales de la Copa UEFA.
Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of us, has become so second nature that we just assume it’s the most natural way of getting information. But what we’ve seen, especially in the last 10 years, when video has become so cheap because of the cloud computing revolution and the broadband revolution, is that a lot of people, unlike us, much prefer to listen and watch than to read. You just see this: when I go to Google and ask a basic question about how to unstick my printer or solve a problem, I get like five videos. And I just want a paragraph that would solve it. I don’t want to see Seth saying, “Hi, welcome to my show. If you like it, subscribe and give it a like.” So just help me solve the problem. But clearly there’s something unusual about me, because people are going for the video. And the massive availability of video—of TikTok, of YouTube—means that people may not be getting the practice or putting in the effort into literacy, which we have reason to believe was one of the drivers of the Flynn effect and of cognitive sophistication in general.

Robert Mueller was an American hero, whose distinguished service to our country spanned a lifetime. Marine officer and decorated combat veteran; revered prosecutor and arguably the greatest FBI director in history.
A model of integrity.
RIP

In 1968, Robert Mueller joined the Marines after his friend’s death in Vietnam. While deployed, he received the Bronze Star for saving an injured Marine under fire. He was later shot and awarded the Purple Heart. What a contrast to today’s leadership.
May he Rest in Peace 🇺🇸
