My thoughts on sports, politics, and culture. A seed must first die in order to give life.

Balogun sent off - in full speed never a red card, slow mo makes it look a shocker! Unfortunate 😱

Come on USA!

[AARONATION 👽 @AARONATION_M]

1st incident = penalty and a red card for Maguire who is now set to miss the Chelsea game for extra 1 match ban and £30k fine.

2nd incident = play on, no foul

Both happened in the same game yet two different judgements by the same referee.

The Premier league FA and referees are trying so hard to see Manchester United not qualify for the champions league.

A retired, empty-nester couple feeling pressure to downsize because their property tax keeps rising as their home appreciates—is exactly how the system SHOULD work.

Very much pro more perfect union but Zuck is literally talking about spending money Meta has faster. Which would go into the pockets of workers faster. Misspend here is really just picking the “wrong thing” to invest in but spending is good. Still should pay more in taxes tho.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Zuckerberg acknowledges that in this AI race Meta could " end up misspending a couple of hundred billion dollars..."

The good and bad of many social welfare programs like Mediciad and CHIP, having fancy branding… lower stigmas but can cause confusion on what programs people are actually using.

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

Ah yes, cut Medicaid—but not the good one my kids use, like Hawk-i… wait.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

Boomers ran up $37 trillion in debt, selling their kids and grandchildren down the river, and then made sure they don’t have to pay taxes at the end of it.

Okay.

The Eagles’ official reaction:

[Marcus Divers @MarcusDivers3]

I wonder if people would feel better if all taxes were assigned specific purposes? Like you knew 1% of property taxes went to schools 1% police 1% infrastructure and fire.

[Marcus Divers @MarcusDivers3]

I kind of understand why people hate property taxes but also I assume it’s the way government pays for police, fire and the legal system. Without those private property wouldn’t exist and those things need to be funded… even though I know it fund a lot of other services.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Governor DeSantis is exactly right. Property taxes are an abomination.

Railways are the only way to connect towns and cities overland without ruining everything in between.

And now Dorgu gets a yellow for winning the ball and getting kicked afterwards. The officiating in the Premier League is shocking #BOUMUN

Conservation is patriotism

[Congressman Byron Donalds @RepDonaldsPress]

Currently, government stops Americans with less than $1M net worth or less than $200K in annual income from getting in at the ground floor of investments.

We can change that by repealing the Accredited Investor Rule.

We should make it easier for Americans to achieve prosperity.

The way Gavin describes is common sense. Teachers are mandatory reporters for situations of direct, immediate harm they shouldn’t have to inform parents anything outside of school performance. We need to allow kids to be more independent. If your kid doesn’t trust you enough…

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

NEW: Gavin Newsom’s rebrand as a moderate falls apart when Bill Maher calls out California’s rule that kept parents in the dark if their child changed their gender identity.

MAHER: “So what do you say to people who say… ‘Governor, you were the poster boy for a lot of this [woke stuff]’?

“I see today the Trump administration… talked about the fact that California had a rule that schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids in school have changed their gender, their pronouns.

“That’s the kind of thing—even though it doesn’t affect a lot of people—that makes a lot of people go, ‘Well, you know what? That’s the party without common sense.’”

NEWSOM: “I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was you would be fired, a teacher would be fired if a teacher did not report or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity. I just think that was wrong. I think teachers should teach. I don’t think they should be required to turn in kids.”

MAHER: “Turning in? We’re talking about their parents. How can you snitch?”
