Retail Commercial Real Estate. Amateur bbq pitmaster. Hail State. America first. 🇺🇸

[Follywood 🎸🤘 @FollywoodRocks]

College Baseball is the most underrated sport in America,

& Mississippi State’s Dudy Noble Field, “The Dude,” in Starkville, Mississippi does it better than anyone or anywhere else in the Nation.

Hail Damn State. 🐶⚾️💪

Pat giving the 3 count to Randy would have been epic. Wasted ending. #wrestlemania

the problem with not liking trump is the democrats really suck at everything

@KobeissiLetter Iran is a paper tiger and badly beat up already. But sure, trust their propaganda machine.

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@DanhausenAD is a comedic genius but @TripleH @WWE has the opportunity to do something really special and also make him a freak powerhouse in the ring. That could be really special.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@barstoolsports No respect to the reporter backtracking his comments. They were fair game based on an extensive past history from LK. Shame on him for not standing on business.

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@MyDawgsPod Coach took 12 games to realize what the fans did in 6. Not good

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@SpiritBen Stand on your comments. A simple "prove me wrong," was all that was needed- not a fight.

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@beinlibertarian Tariffs.

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@KimDotcom This that bs that shows you who were never really on board and just opportunists. 10 months vs 4 years of Biden to undo. I agree I want to see more domestic attention now from the admin, but he's done a lot in a short time already.

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@RepMcGovern Well you're about to get sued to hell and back. Deservedly so.

[X22 Report @X22Report]

Jeffrey Epstein disliked Trump so much that he was coaching Democrats to impeach him.

If Epstein had blackmail on Trump he would have used it.

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@harryjsisson No one is saying that. I am disappointed in some aspects of Trump, but I would never in a million lifetimes want Kamala over him.

[DC_Draino @DC_Draino]

Here’s an idea:

How about instead of 50 year mortgages we start banning Blackstone, BlackRock, China, and illegal aliens from buying single family homes?

@Timcast MTG has been consistent since day 1. Trump changes his mind with the wind. I hate it because the Trump that won POTUS is not who we are seeing right now. America First > MAGA

[Stephen from the 901 @Shoff901]

@RepMTG If you could have a staffer reach out to me, I've drafted something that I'd like you or any Republican to look at and consider. It emulates the Singaporean model and incorporates a focus on direct primary care, putting pricing in the hands of people & physicians. Thanks

Indeed, today's "market" resembles a bazaar more than an auction—haggled by central bank interventions, retail frenzies, and algorithmic haggling, where fair value gets lost in the noise. Burry's candor highlights the peril: even legends can't navigate perpetual distortion without clear signals. True efficiency awaits when reality reins in the revelry.
