  1. Way to go Rams! A very unsurprising win indeed. https://x.com/neilhenderson/status/1770289708498563319?s=46&t=ZwmL2zoT2yrCbU_cz6ZWlQ Good luck Boise! Go MWC!
  2. Left-handedness use to be seen as evil or deviant. Roughly 5.5% of adults in the U.S. identify as homosexual. I would expect that number to rise some as it becomes more accepted. It's not that more people are becoming gay, it's that more people feel comfortable coming out as gay. Will that 30% number hold? Highly doubtful. But in my experience, more young women experimented with homosexuality than men, but many are garden variety straight now.
  3. Maybe they are pushing out subliminal messaging to certain users. I'm not sure how. TikTok is a visual medium. The most successful creators on the platform just turn on their camera and talk. While AI video is coming along fast and this may not be the case in the future, I can SEE that person, they aren't some anonymous screen name on MWCBoard, or X/Twitter, or Facebook. I think TikTok is a LOT harder to game than Facebook or X/Twitter BECAUSE it is not an anonymous platform. If we want to have a larger conversation as a country about the way social media is being gamed to manipulate us by bad actors, I'm 100% on board with that. But let's have that conversation about ALL of social media. Not just the one platform owned by a non-U.S. company that's eating the other platform's lunches.
  4. So funny reading comments from people defining TikTok as a place for “dancing girls in bikinis” or “only fans girls”. TikTok’s algorithm is brilliant and effective because it very quickly picks up on what type of content you’re watching and feeds you more of that content. So, if you’re logging on to TikTok and only seeing dancing girls in bikinis…no judgement, but you’re seeing that because it’s what you’re watching. I have thousands of videos saved in collections on my TikTok account on everything from Travel, Life Hacking, Learning AI, Recipes, Political Activism, Fitness, Books, Photography, Finance, Real Estate, etc. I don’t have any dancing girls in bikinis collections...ok, I 'might', but it's only one of many other much more productive collections. 170 million Americans use TikTok. Thousands upon thousands of small businesses have been built using it. The political creatures in DC are going to have to do a lot better than “Chinese threat” if they want to ban this app or force the parent company to sell to a U.S. company. Let’s have a conversation in this country around the threat to privacy and security to Americans from ALL social media, not just the one App that’s kicking the arses of the American companies who donate money to us. It’s a hell of a lot easier to be an anonymous troll or Russian bot on X/Twitter or Facebook than it is to be one on TikTok.
  5. Trump has refused to concede or respect a single vote or decision that has gone against him. Primaries, Generals, Judicial, Emmys… Show me where he’s respected a single vote or decision that’s gone against him and I’ll amend my statement. He literally tried to stay in power after losing the last election. That’s a hard no for me! The worst that will happen if Biden is elected is perhaps my taxes go up. He dies in office and Kamala takes over? Kamala, the woman who is despised by the impotent far left as a “too conservative” former prosecutor.
  6. Yeah, no, we’re all in this together. You don’t get to hide from this amigo.
  7. This seems like a REALLY small God who would concern himself with how an individual voted in an election in one country of many on a small rocky planet in a nearly infinite universe.
  8. As I’ve often suspected, the UAP’s are likely uncleared individuals seeing the testing of highly advanced, highly classified, unacknowledged systems.
  9. It was fine. I thought his strongest moments were the challenge to Republicans to pass the bipartisan border bill, especially the cut away to Lankford. And his closing comments about “It’s not about your age, it’s about the age of your ideas.” He can’t dodge perceptions about his age, he’d break a hip trying, but he can lean into it and contrast it with Trump.
  10. I doubt it. North Carolina is very purple. The only reason Republicans control the state legislature is because of gerrymandering.
  11. Lindsay Graham probably wins the prize, but Mitch McConnell will probably go down in history as the biggest enabler as he spoke out against Trump, had the power to end his political career, but chose not to because he was worried it would hurt Senate Republican fund raising.
  12. It’s always been Biden vs Trump. Republicans have been cowards since he won in 2016. None of them really want to take him on. They just keep playing this game of “Gee, I hope someone or something else will take him out so I can have his base.”
  13. I’m not voting for Biden, I’m voting to stop Trump in the most effective way possible. I’ll crawl over broken glass to do it.
