Guess who's back? Musk is going to tank Twitter. Advertisers are pausing spends and most verified users won't bother paying.

Damn I thought I was pro, Jester? It's getting to be time to leave Twitter. Without sports - and during a pandemic - it sucks hard.

So somewhere in Puerto Rico there's a man and wife who are going to post a picture of the husband and me and I hope his friends and family all find it as funny as I did.

And yes, I repeatedly told him I am not Nick Van Exel or a pro athlete. He didn't believe me 😂

It got closer to tee off so I went to find my cart and bag and partner. I noticed that they clearly didn't have my name on the cart and since I was alone they paired me up with the lawyer, which was fine. Apparently I took "Nick Van Excel"'s spot (it's Van Exel for those who watched NBA).

The guy came up to me again asking if I would golf with him and then called me Nick repeatedly. So of course, I told the guys I was golfing with who doubled over laughing.

I set my bag down and looked for registration inside the clubhouse. Before I could head upstairs to the table, a man stopped me with his wife. They had a Canon digital camera. I thought they wanted me to take their picture.

As it turns out, he thought I was a professional athlete and before I knew it he was hugging me and his wife snapped a photo.

I'm not a professional athlete.

Funny story. I'm the giant on the right. On the left is a former NFL safety for the Skins and Raiders. The guys in the middle are lawyers (and good golfers).

I took the shuttle from my hotel to the clubhouse and got out with the NFL player, the lawyer and former Dallas Mav Michael Finley.

Wait there's a verified status on here now?

So, Twitter has a known bot problem, there handles that detect bot and hashtag surges, and yet they can't figure it out. Jaysus. Also, hi everyone!

Hey my friend and probably cousin and former Managing Editor of Snopes.com started her own thing called whatstrue.com. Would love the CS community to give it some love!

Welp, I've left the continental US and don't plan on coming back. Officially a boricua living beachfront and my business will not be paying a fucking dime to Trump's government anymore.

Anyone else notice that Facebook gets hacked and slows down when Trump has bad news or gets negative coverage? Just me?

Just FYI, satellite imagery suggests N. Korea is continuing to upgrade its nuclear enrichment facility.

I was suspended on Twitter tonight for maybe 10 minutes because some guy RT'ed my tweet about Mitch McConnell after he congratulated his Supreme Court nomination win, where I said I hope that fucking turtle gets ass cancer and dies a slow death.

He played his hand and won thanks to terrible leadership, but that move was bullshit.

And I don't care that Twitter suspended my account for 10 minutes, but it's ridiculous that this douche tagged the FBI. Also Mitch McConnell is going to rot in hell.

The Warriors without Steph, Klay and Draymond just covered a -6.5 spread against a Laker team that has been 20-9 of late. Impressive, but still like a Rockets / Raptors final.

Took my son skiing the last 2 days. My #1 concern was an injury. Sure enough, 1 hour into skiing today broke his leg. Talk about a long, draining day.

Additionally, that these kids are actual students is a joke. They need to pass 6 credit hours in their first semester to be able to play their season. So, enroll in 12 credit hours, pass six.

Next semester they can sign up for the required 12 credits, not attend class, and basketball is over before the first marking period and then be ineligible.

The problem? Their season is already over by the time these grades come out.
