The quick rise and fall of CJ is pretty fascinating.
He legitimately had an amazing rookie year. Nothing flukey about it, you watch the film study and it's incredibly impressive. Then he went on every podcast all offseason, acted like and was treated like a top 10 player in the league. I fully bought into all of it and was super excited about his future.
Cut to 1 1/2 years later, the dude is mentally broken. It sure feels like the flip from idolization to pure negativity on social media is having a serious affect on him. He flew too high, too early. And he's having real trouble handling adversity. If he turns it around, hopefully it's soon in Houston instead of needing a fresh start somewhere else.
100,000 people LARPed at Arizona's stadium on Sunday.
The whole MAGA movement is cosplay for people living in an alternate reality. They don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk anymore, that story character was killed off and they will move on quickly.
So they've had Tyler Robinson in custody for what, 10 days now? Still not cooperating?
Here is the latest update from Kash Patel on Sunday via Twitter:
What in the absolute fuck is this shit? You have the shooter in custody. I would assume they have access to his phone and computer. Friends and family are cooperating. Do they actually want to "solve" this case regarding motive? Doesn't seem like it.
I would say it's rather meaningless. Plenty of stuff on the right gets that type of engagement. Elon in particular. There are also reports that say 60%+ of Twitter users are bots.
In regards to AOC and Newsome, I'm glad they are fighting. Whether it's works remains to be seen. We all thought there was Kamala momentum a year ago, and here we are.
Well, the Democratic Party could use your help. I'm assuming they've put some of their best and brightest on the case, but they have gotten their ass kicked on social media and YouTube for the last decade.
TV is a whole other world from social media. Dems going on Fox "forces" the viewer to watch them (unless they change the channel), that's now how it works on Twitter.
Musk controls the Twitter algorithm. Also, he manipulates his AI Grok (which many users rely on for "facts") anytime it feeds answers that he feels are too "woke" or whatever.
No one on the right is seeing AOC or Pete or Bernie tweets, unless they are being retweeted with criticism from the right. No one on the left is seeing right winger tweets unless they are retweeted by the left with criticism. The algorithm isn't interested in expanding viewpoints, it's wants to do the exact opposite. The misinformation/disinformation is staggering, to the point that even Dem accounts fall into that trap.
And again, most of the large left-leaning accounts are still on Twitter. And it is still accomplishing nothing.
This sounds like something Schumer or Jeffries would believe. It's copium from a bygone era.
I agree that BlueSky is fairly worthless, but Twitter is cooked. The platform, algorithm, and "AI" is completely corrupted. There are plenty of leftist/dems that still engage, and nothing moves the needle.
This interview is bleak. This doesn't look like a guy that believes in himself or the team anymore.
Did I read that CJ was wearing a Mariners hat recently? And now a Yankees hat in this PC? WTF.
It's never about the truth with right wingers, narrative is all that matters. And they don't like the narrative that a white kid from Utah wanted to kill Charlie Kirk.
