They haven’t endured the grind of an SEC schedule

Praying for Charlie and his family. Devastated that we are here as a country.

Her: “Turn off the game you’ve watched enough football today” The game:

Susie from Alabama says if she wins the $2 billion power ball she’s going to use her first $70 million to pay Kalen DeBoer’s buyout. This is so great. God bless SEC football:

Pain

Nearly 20% of week 1 starting QB’s are from Texas 🤠 #NFL #txhsfb

Married and own a home by 30 years old in America 1950: 50% 1960: 52% 1970: 48% 1980: 45% 1990: 43% 2000: 35% 2010: 25% 2025: 12% Incredible

This is the most American shit I've ever seen. This is Americana.

Was there nobody on the PR side who was like maybe we shouldn’t go to one of the most corrupt gerrymandered states in the country?

There’s only one right answer. 😈 #GoBills | @ACFresh21

Juuuust a bit outside

Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.” “The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?” “I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.” “These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.” “Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.” “The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.” “Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.” “There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.” @mikeroweworks

most profound thing I’ve heard an athlete say in a long time and he just says it casually at an all-star game availability lol

Looking at State Department documents, it appears the department went from 57,340 total employees in 2007 to 72,895 in 2015 to 80,214 in 2024. So it grew by nearly 23,000 employees before the 'devastating' cut of 1,300.

Microsoft laid off 9x the amount of employees last month than the State Department just did today.

Of all the fake people playing politics, this guy is the most offensively fake

Amen

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

When people outside of Texas ask why we’re so loyal to a private company like @HEB…this is the reason. Every disaster we have, they beat the Red Cross there and do so much to help. Born and raised Texas right here!

Criminally underrated post
