@MLB I pay for premium MLB, still get blacked out, then have to pay @espn too — only to have the score spoiled with no easy way to start from the beginning. How is this fan-friendly? #frustrated 😤

We borrow money to pay interest on money we already borrowed, and now that the bill exceeds the entire defense budget, it's absurd. My Penny Plan fixes this by cutting just one cent from every dollar spent and will balance the budget in 5 years. https://t.co/pGuG6x16ec

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:

“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”

Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.

But as Adam’s wrote, America:  “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”

The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.  

Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”

As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.  

But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.

@joeroganhq Haha they got the grain brain for real!

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@WallStreetMav So if this is the plan, spell it out and get it run through Congress. I’m a fan of a consumption tax, and tariffs could fit that bill, but show us the path and get it done right or the next executive can just unwind. 📈📉😵‍💫

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.

@dookiebettsss Much more is learned from failure than from success. Plenty of time for successes Roki. You got this!

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@BlakeHHarris Gotta pull the ball out right?

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@YokieYii @AMAZlNGNATURE That’s @OceanRamsey she does this all the time!

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@donwinslow Can you short sell a country?

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@BeaconTerraOne @maniaUFO Probably to see.

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@money_cruncher That might be true but you usually don’t move up as fast. Find a company you love with a chance to move up and do your best and stay put. That would be my advice.

Did @SpaceX just land in a @Tesla 😂

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@Forbes That train is never late!

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@innoutburger_ Yes!

[Shep Nelson @shepnelson]

@elonmusk @WallStreetApes But 99% of the inventory does not move, so I would venture to say that this does have an impact, especially in low to mid market priced homes.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Managers play a huge role in motivating their people. But inspiration can be bottom-up as well as top-down. Don’t just tell your team something Steve Jobs said. Ask why their jobs matter to them https://t.co/m4p1liw5R6

@CollinRugg Go to Japan, you see groups of kids walking alone in Tokyo alone as young as 5. It’s proven that helicopter parenting causes anxiety. This mom and her son have the unalienable rights to set these rules for themselves.

@AlonzoBodden Heard you on @joerogan you been having a hard time at the dealer?! Hahaha. Hope your well man. BTW shooting yourself in the ass is the better of the two possibilities!
