Hey MAGAs, the offer still stands, if you pay me $2000 now I will give you my $5000 Trump check when it arrives. You can't beat that deal

How @Braves Country woke up this morning:

[Lance Cranford @lcranf]

Sad News for Falcon Nation. Grew up watching JVN, Steve Bartkowski, Alfred Jenkins, William Andrews and other Falcons greats from the late 1970s and early 1980s. All-time Falcon great and will be missed. RIP

[The Falcoholic @TheFalcoholic]

Jeff Van Note spent 18 seasons as the one constant on an ever-changing Falcons team, providing them with legendary play and durability at center. RIP to a legend

In a bid to frame Jack Smith as a liar, Sen. Schmitt (R-Missouri) accused the former special counsel of perjuring himself after he denied attending an Atlanta Hawks game on Feb. 3, 2024.

Smith had attended an University of Iowa Hawkeyes game that day. https://t.co/FYfGt4TOo7

After that Atlanta Hawks vs. Iowa Hawkeyes gaffe on the Hill today, I can already tell SNL is gonna be LIT on Saturday. 😂🔥

All to GOD‼️

To me there is nothing better you can give someone than your prayers. Thank you all so much for your prayers. They are felt. Out of surgery and doing great. Step 1 ✅

@Wes_nship You sir are displaying great parental instincts

[Lance Cranford @lcranf]

The owner is completely incompetent and useless...his hiring practices are incomprehensible (Matt Ryan has zero known experience in running a NFL franchise), their draft history borders on insanity and they display ZERO strategic initiatives, hence no successor to Ryan from 2019

[Lance Cranford @lcranf]

Editors Note: I am a FORMER Falcons Fans as I couldn't take the incompetence anymore after being a loyal supporter for 45+ years. That being said, I am sad to see SOO many twitter (x, whatever) posts displaying so much pain and surprise at the current state of this franchise...

SEC kicking LSU out? 1.2% chance. 😂

Lane dropping “Imagine if we had pro players?” after the game probably have SEC presidents ready to make it 95%. #SayNoToProPlayers

Love the stance the SEC is taking in keeping pro athletes out of College Athletics https://t.co/wcDCb9eaBm

@GilesLMcKenzie @Hertz Good luck! Hoping Hertz makes you whole on this...not a good look

[Lance Cranford @lcranf]

@kwuchu oh my...this is so heartbreaking. Sending sincere condolences to you and your family 🙏🏾🤲

Im not sure why, but I'm completely fascinated by this Reckless Ben situation. For a police department to have the word "American" in its name, (as in American Folk Police Dept) yet show total disregard for American values, rights and the Constitution is embarrassing

I was thirty-something years old when Iranian students dragged me into a room and told me I wasn't going anywhere. Four hundred and forty-four days later, I walked out. I've spent the decades since trying to make sense of what happened — and what keeps happening — between our two countries.
So don't talk to me about Iran like it's an abstraction. I lived inside that confrontation. I felt it.
Which is why I'm not ready to write off this ceasefire, even though everything about it is maddening.
Negotiations in Pakistan may produce nothing. The talks could collapse before they get started. I've seen American diplomacy with Iran fail more times than I can count, and usually for the same reasons — too much pride, too little patience, and Israel holding a match in the corner of the room.
But here's what I know in my bones: another war won't break Iran. We just tried. It didn't work. Iran doesn't break — it absorbs, it adapts, and it waits. I watched that stubbornness up close for 444 days.
What bothers me most isn't that Iran is winning this moment — it's that we handed it to them. Tehran's framework is running these negotiations. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. Still collecting tolls. Trump looked at their proposal and called it workable. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are.
Iran wants everything on the table — sanctions, enrichment rights, American troops out, and a deal that covers what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza too. That's a lot to swallow. And Israel, which wasn't invited to this conversation, is already making clear it has no intention of being constrained by it.
That's the part that worries me the most. Because if Israel keeps bombing and Washington can't or won't stop it, none of this holds.
And yet — and I say this as someone who has every reason to distrust Tehran — I don't think we go back to all-out war. Not because anyone has suddenly gotten wise, but because the math doesn't work. A second round ends the same way. Iran still controls the Strait. The global economy still flinches when Tehran flexes.
What we're heading toward isn't peace. It's something smaller and more precarious — two countries silently agreeing not to destroy each other today, with no paperwork and no guarantees.
I know what it's like to survive on something that fragile. For 444 days, that's all I had.

Count me in as a proud American who appreciates the stance Anthropic is taking today. Continue to stand 💪 for 🇺🇸 values!!

I think we need to seriously rethink the HOF voting system. Doesn't matter how dude treated you during press conferences, dude is the GOAT

@AlexFinn Yep, this is a solid vibe stack and what’s funny, at least for me, is AI suggests this. Didn’t even know Supabase was a thing until I started vibe coding. Really good persistence platform.
