Rutgers could be first team to miss NCAA Tournament despite having two top-five NBA Draft picks

One team certainly isn't enough, but if Rutgers does indeed miss the tournament they'll at least contribute a small step towards reigning in the NIL madness. When people are paying kids high 6 and 7 figure salaries with expectations of a national championship only to see the whole thing to up in smoke before March, they're going to become a little more hesitant to take that risk again.

But isn’t that what an open platform is? Find your trusted network on your own. Don’t let the platform act as a filter.

To an extent yes, but you find your network and it starts to show you other content it thinks you might be interested in. If you're trying to find up to date information on a specific story, there is so much unreliable information to filter through. You will end up filtering to your reliable sources who will all end up being someone in MSM.

One calendar year difference in LA area

the earth has gone from ice ages to warm periods long before humans were here.

That is true but there was always a catalyst. A catalyst can occur naturally (earthquakes, shifts in land, meteors etc) but that doesn't mean human activity can not be a catalyst for a shift in the climate as well. For the last million years, Atmospheric Co2 was between 180 and 300 ppm. It exceeded 300 around 1950 and is now well above 400. Human activity caused that. t would be incredibly arrogant of us to believe that we could just burn whatever we wanted with no impact on the environment. We are likely beyond a point where we can fix it naturally, and I'm more worried about how drastic those measures will be and if we overcorrect.

On this topic though. I don't know enough about the situation in California to have an opinion on what caused / fueled those fires.

We Won A Game!

The full court press is just so key for this group. We are not a good half court team.

I say go small, play fast. Speed other teams up and play the helter-skelter game.
You will have to search long and hard to find a kid more effective guarding the inbounds passer then doubling the guy in the corner than Scotty Middleton.

X is great for fast information sharing. It is not great as a reliable news source. There is a ton of nonsense on there and it's difficult to filter if you're trying to get to the truth of something. The woman burned on the NY subway is a good example of that. For days, people on twitter were sharing an image of the victim that was just made up of a woman in her 20's. Turned out to be an entirely different woman in her late 50s.

MSM as a whole isn't going anywhere as people still want news from more reliable sources than random tweets.
