I wonder if the Warde concern is that the donors will have too much influence. Not that they don't already.

Much made of the fact that Harbaugh retained Tom Mars as his legal rep for the NCAA violation allegations. Why do that if you were not staying? Also, Sam Webb reports two different dynamics in the negotiations: Agents highlighting the interest from the NFL as a bargaining chip and Santa Ono being a diplomatic and oil-on-the-waters element of negotiations. I would say that the indications are that Harbaugh wants to stay but needs the wasta of an increase in pay to go forward.

i think we may want to give some of these things to Taiwan as well.

SMDH

Morning Joe are wailing and gnashing their teeth over the competitive imbalance.

The visor rather than ball cap look. Next thing you know they will insist African-Americans are 3/5ths of a human.

I think another year of JJ in this system w/Blake and Donovan...Yeah...we should be back in the CFP at a minimum

Georgia is moving through TCU like a smoothly functioning elite team from the SEC against a Big12 Defense. It could have been us getting destroyed.

Love this for Team 144. I just need the Harbaugh contract extension announcement

Without going into too much detail, Space Karen should know but is probably too busy wrecking all his companies that the current war has yet to really demonstrate what the Taiwan war will: that AI weapons are the actual future of war. I think our holding back some of these things from Ukraine has kept them from being known. Russia is too inept/too corrupt to integrate these things. They would rather do human waves attacks and torture civilians because that's their "move" and the Ukrainians just don't have the resources to do those things on their own yet.

GO 49ers.

Aaron Rogers lost the game because he's old and a jerk. The Packers blew the game with their unsportsmanlike play. So, really the Packers suck.

Get ready for some more NFL bullshit tonight

Politics? What are your major issues? (JK)

The ways in which warfare has changed are also much different because we are limiting how Ukraine can fight with our tools. Politics are keeping them from taking the war really into Russia. Why is that? Nuclear weapons scare everyone. Were those around in the Great War? Oh, also...the information war in which Twitter was manipulated by Putin.

some of the push back from Sweden was smart. I think Turkey wants concessions from Sweden and they pushed Sweden too far. Turkey just needs to recognize that they get nothing from Sweden if they play too hard. That's my happy spin. My sad spin is that Turkey is insane and doesn't care for any deal because they just hate the Kurds that much.

almost guaranteeing that Harbaugh leaves, I donated to the Valiant "one more year fund". I bought a Saturn and Oldsmobile and killed both car companies. My purchase of a Lincoln car ended the production of Lincoln cars. I purchased the last gasoline sedan Cadillac will make. For now both car brands still exist but I assume both are on borrowed time. I got heavily invested in minidiscs and that format died. I'm basically, death for certain products. So, I apologize for the mayhem my donation will cause.

Saw some tweets this morning about Turkey balking at Sweden NATO membership. Not great.

Seeing Mitch Albom weighing in on the Lions gave me the "run in the other direction" vibe. The minute you get to the cab-drivers-giving-you-stock-advice stage of economy, get out of the market. Mitch, for all his feelgoodery is...not really plugged in.

You would think World Galaxy Brain Elon aka Space Karen would have a thought on the other ways war has changed.

Sheesh

I can see it's power. From the perspective of those weaponizing it: its code for all the frustrations that the average person has with penalties they may face for free speech if their free speech is undesirable.

Like for example, TFG?
