  1. Musk is not a genius. He’s not even particularly intelligent. I had a conversation this week at work about him. I made it very brief. Elon said he has Asperger’s Syndrome. I am on the end of the spectrum where I would have used that terminology at one point. One you don’t EVER call it that anymore because Dr. Asperger was responsible for the deaths of children in Vienna during the Nazi occupation. Two, if you want a sobering book to read go and get a copy of Asperger’s Children. You will break down several times trying to make it through the book. Some of you guys enjoy reading. That book will break your heart. 

    I also do not care if he destroys Twitter. I would prefer he just go away completely so he can stop giving off the impression that autistic people are all like him. He has some exceptionally strong traits of narcissism and when you combine that with an inability to completely understand human emotion you get this. A man child that does whatever he wants while not caring about any possible repercussions that may happen to other people.

    It’s almost that time of year.

    I’ve never bought anything off an Instagram ad but I may have to make an exception.

    That’s pretty cool. I am wearing one right now that has the quote about Santa finding the jolliest bunch of a holes this side of the nuthouse. I wore this to church before and the pastor laughed at it.

  3. UMass is their last win. As hilarious as it would be to see them lose to a glorified DII team, they’ll win that and finish 4-8 once LSU beats them by 40. Quite the accomplishment for Jimbo and his assortment of “NOT NIL” All-Stars.

  4. I think this election cycle went far better than anticipated for the Democrats. I am cool with keeping the senate. Georgia just needs to make sure Warnock is their senator and not a guy that can’t count to potato.

    New York’s Democrats performed, to be kind, not well. Jumaane Williams needs to be the Governor of this state at some point. He is plain spoken and makes far too much sense though. I would love to see him become a senator at some point. He correctly called out Hochul for her embarrassing comments following the election about how Democrats did here. I heard him speak at the March on Washington in August of 2020 and he’s a guy that Democrats need to be embracing as their future.

  5. I met an Aggy grad this week here in Manhattan. He was really nice and he lives in Austin. He did his student teaching with a teacher from my high school who had been there for 40 years. Again he was a real nice guy, BUT he thinks Jimbo is doing a great job and doesn’t want him bought out. In general when I’ve met them here they’ve been pretty nice folks. It’s when I’ve been back in Texas that I am around the crazy ones you do your best to just avoid.

    Ouch.

     

    I would be willing to give it until the trade deadline before I would attempt to find other pieces to put around those two that might make their lineup better. Sometimes guys need time to adjust to one another to make things work. They may well not fit together at all, but they need time together to find that out.

    I would like to congratulate Kyrie on finally reaching the "find out" portion of his personal journey. From imploding two (and currently in the process of three) franchises to flat earthers to anti-vax bullshit to randomly taking mental health vacation days to Alex Jones to holocaust denying, it was long, long overdue.

    This has got be the single greatest find out moment a player in the NBA has ever had. It’s incredible the amount of crazy things he has said and done in his career. I feel like there is still more to come from him as he can’t contain the crazy, at all.

    Get him off of that fucking trainwreck team. 

    He chose this. On his own. He orchestrated the whole thing. He wanted to prove he could do it on his own. He can't.

    Durant messed around and found out on this as well. He chose this path. He chose to walk away from the best situation in the NBA to be on a team with someone who belongs in an insane asylum. He chose the head coach and his own words at the time of the hiring indicate that. He made his bed and he can continue to lie in it.

    It's piss.

     

    Always has been.

    I have never used it because I just do not find any part of how Twitter is set up to be interesting. It has been useful in certain instances like the war in Ukraine, but stuff like that does not seem to be the norm for the platform. It would really be something if he runs it straight into the ground.

    The one thing to remember about Elon is that he overpaid 24B for Twitter. Without Elons offer, twtr would have been worth 20B on oct 28th but elon paid 44.  Now some of this wasn’t all elons fault but rather bad timing but it doesn’t change the fact that 24B of investor money was immediately destroyed last week.

    maybe Elon and Co. will turn Twitter around and he sells it or goes public for 100B but the result will never change the he paid double the price. It will also put a 24B hole in his (& his investors) pockets  

    he just drove Twitter off the lot and the car value dropped in half.

     Some folks might say that his ego messed around and found out. Gritty has gotten another victim.

    Kyrie does not and SHOULD NOT play in another NBA game. His pay should be withheld and the league office should dare the NBPA to take them to court over it considering the reason he would not be getting paid. 
     

    I am trying to wrap my head around how Durant thought that teaming up with a crazy person, who has now also revealed himself to be a proud Anti-Semite, was a good situation to get into. How is this someone he trusts? How can Irving ever step on a basketball court again for an NBA team when he refuses to disavow his insane beliefs? Thank goodness LeBron didn’t get his wish and get this guy as a teammate again. I’ll take 82 games of Russ doing Russ things over this disaster of a human being that needs to be in a psychiatric ward.

    Brooklyn is a dumpster fire.

    Excuse me sir, but my Lakers will take you to court for trademark infringement as they have the dumpster all to themselves. Brooklyn is what happens when you mess around, find out and then are insane enough to go back and find out even more stuff. Hiring Udoka is the cherry on top of their crazy sundae.
