I used to like to watch #pedri a lot because he is skillful, calm and delivers results. Now I don’t want to watch his games. He is slow, plays too many safe passes backwards and sideways. He always argues with refs and complains. It’s just boring to watch him play! #barca

@footballtweet 100%

@TimelineCR7 It’s the push from back that brought raphinha down. Clearly a penalty

For years, @FEMA has bragged about giving billions of dollars to migrants Now the Homeland Security secretary said that FEMA has insufficient funds to last through hurricane season Oh and that whopping $750 for the hurricane victims? You have to apply and qualify for it Even worse, people that are trying to help are being forced to apply for permits...TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE. If needing a permit to save a life isn't a sign of government overreach, I'm not sure what is Even worse, FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services claiming them as their own. Why? If donations are not from companies on a "preferred vendor list" they won't accept them or give them to those impacted. The preferred vendors get part of the money being handed out by the government and in return they give kickbacks Not to mention all of the illegal immigrants across the country that are getting free rent, free food and free insurance - people that are not even working and are not supposed to be here in the first place! Our government is so mismanaged and backwards right now it makes me sick

@drakson_MCI @FabrizioRomano Play some real soccer. This why is we need a referee. A penalty will be robbery

Yeah, US immigration is completely backwards: trivial to enter illegally and nightmarishly difficult to enter legally! I strongly support increasing and expediting legal immigration.

AMERICA, LOOK AT SWEDEN AND BEWARE THE CHAOS OF UNCONTROLLED IMMIGRATION (NYP) I don’t think many Americans realize how difficult it is to come to America legally. Among my own friends, I know an academic who has spent the past year in legal limbo, not allowed to work between

GO DIRECT: THE MANIFESTO I. TRADITIONAL PR IS DEAD. For too long, founders have yielded control over their narratives to media and middlemen. Before the internet, it was by necessity. The way to reach large audiences was through the media, and the way to get media coverage was through professional publicists. Today, most of the planet is directly reachable by social media or email. There’s no longer a need to go through traditional gatekeepers of information and brokers of reputation — especially as their own credibility has plummeted. The old PR playbook of relying on third parties with misaligned interests is obsolete. But while the world has changed, comms norms have not. Still encased in amber are the old habits: prioritizing media over social media, fishing for clicks instead of fostering communities, and avoiding risk by recycling worn-out tactics. “Corporate communications” itself is now an oxymoron, as nothing meaningful can be communicated by a faceless committee. If press releases read like they were written by a baker’s dozen of middle managers, that’s because they were. Their only discernible purpose seems to be to avoid upsetting anyone and jeopardizing the future job prospects of those middle managers. The resulting stories are bland and generic, with passion reduced to pablum. Traditional comms is an anachronism. II. COMMUNICATION IS THE FOUNDER’S JOB. For a decade, we’ve been told that tech founders are cartoon villains, venture-funded startups are grifts, and new technologies will destroy us all. Maybe there was a time when founders could just focus on building — they were seen by the media establishment as a curiosity, not a threat to the natural hierarchy who needed to be put in their place. But if that time ever existed, it is now long gone. You may not be interested in The Discourse, but it is interested in you. And if you bow out, you are forfeiting your license to build a movement and thus build a company. Building a movement is hard, but it must be done, and it must be done by founders. A founder’s passion, vision, and conviction can’t be simulated by others — least of all the press-release-enjoying middle managers already scouting for their next jobs. The best spokesperson for any endeavor is not the one who has the most polish, the longest tenure, or the “right” credentials. It’s the person who holds the secret knowledge upon which the enterprise is built, the person who can not only describe the idea but, in the face of inevitable opposition, fight for it and win. Founders need to take their narrative as seriously as they take the rockets or robots. They would never outsource their product — and when it comes to convincing others to support the mission, the story is the product. Outsourcing comms is as bad as outsourcing code. As evangelists, founders are irreplaceable. III. GO DIRECT OR GO HOME. Going direct to the people who matter is how founders retain control over their narratives and preserve their companies’ uniqueness. Those who are stubborn, unorthodox, and disagreeable should never have their edges filed down for fear of offending entrenched interests. But going direct doesn’t mean going it alone. It doesn’t mean refusing help or spurning others who can amplify your message. And it certainly doesn’t mean just poasting more. Going direct means crafting and telling your own story, without being dependent on intermediaries. Just as founders might have more natural talents at product, management, or engineering, some founders will be naturals at communicating while others have a harder time. The good news is that going direct and building a movement, while not easy, are skills that can be developed with discipline and time. The bad news is that, unlike with engineering or management, communications failures are immediately public and personally humiliating. It’s not surprising that many are loathe to take on this responsibility. At the same time, founders willing to pick up that gauntlet will find that it gives them a massive edge in recruiting, fundraising, selling, and shaping the information environment needed for their companies to thrive. IV. IT’S TIME TO REBUILD THE ROSTRA. At the center of Rome, as it transitioned from a Republic to an Empire, stood a speaker’s platform from which the city’s leaders would address the public directly. It was called the Rostra, so named because it stood atop the captured battle rams (or rostrums) of enemy warships. From here, speeches were given that would sway opinion, change regimes, and alter history. That physical structure has been lost to time, but we now have something much more powerful: a free and open internet with which to build a speaker’s platform of limitless scale. All we need is the will to build it. The conventional way of communicating has its allure. Outsource your message, let some removed third party go through the motions of getting “impressions,” and spare yourself the risks and discomfort that come with putting your own name on the line. But that way is incompatible with greatness. Reject convention — build your own platform, build your own audience, and build your own narrative. Go direct.

Maybe it’s true.

@SpeakerPelosi You are confusing the concept of racial justice and classroom diversity!

@cmb3248 @herculezg You are a sick person!

@mullafabz @amexpak1 I had the same problem. Previously installed kodi 19. What should I do？thanks!

@jerbearjordan52 @BleacherReport @FabrizioRomano @brfootball Not true. They don’t leave their home league. A better analogy is those schools play extra games among themselves besides their conference games

I just made another donation to #RecallGavinNewsom. California is being eaten alive right now by D.A.’s who won’t prosecute, teachers unions who won’t teach, and politicians who won’t stand up to the special interests. It’s time to send them a message.

两年前佐治亚共和党州务卿竞选州务卿时川普发推称赞他，号召投票给他。此人这次守住底线认证拜登获胜，川普骂他是“人民公敌”。他很委屈，说他全家都投川普的票，捐款给川普，却被川普扔车下，总数明白过来了领导人还得是正派人。
