What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

Incredible aura farming outside of Kinnick today. Hearing reports that @bobby_on_mars is on standby to fly in with a tweed jacket and vintage Hermes tie

Always a good sign for a politician, when they make it about themselves. Sick to use this as a photo op
The BEST tradition in football and it’s all for the kids! 💛

I can't tell if it's parody at this point.

Bro is filming this in his tiny apartment telling us how much money we are going to make. Prop builder is sharp! This is like listening to a 21 year old at Northwestern trying to sell you an annuity
Legitimately game changing. Coming soon.... 🤫👀

Just a reminder to sports gamblers, there aren't tons of accounts that previously provided good insight & somehow became what they used to despise. Private Pikkit accounts and absurd claims about wins. If someone has made a million dollars, they aren't spamming referral codes and using propbuilder as a sharp book. There is probably one person on X that has made 7 figures doing this and is absolutely transparent in the process: @amonahan_bets On a side note, if you want to correlate price movements with limit increases, @ClosingDime has a platform that has been doing this all along. Unsurprisingly his Pikkit is wide open to see his wins and losses

I honestly can't believe the Secretary of State even acknowledged this unhinged question.
Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate didn't like the question I asked at today's election security briefing. #Iowa #IA03

Posts like this get dragged because the author is oblivious to the real world. If buying an ikea mirror is splurging & you are going ring shopping in 6 months, you are obviously marrying into wealth. No shortage of people born on 3rd base talking about how they hit a triple.
When Tyler and I first started dating, he had been living out of a suitcase for 5 months and hadn't purchased a single piece of furniture. Meanwhile, I was living in a 5ft x 10ft with 4 other roomates in a large closet that had been converted into a fifth bedroom. My 'splurge' furniture was a $120 ikea mirror. We were both working at seed-stage startups and barely got to see each other. We said we were going to get married 3 weeks into dating, and started ring shopping 6 months in. It has alternated who has made more money at any given time, but we share a bank account so it doesn't really matter. The bet you take when you are young is finding someone who will grow with you, and together you will do great things. Whether that's having a beautiful family with many children or supporting each other through career pivots.

You see this happen all of the time in Brazil. Except there they aren't trying to confuse, they are aiming for publicity. You will see names like Henrique Barack Obama or Mick Jagger.
WATCH: CNN's Dana Bash, Mark Preston, and Alayna Trenne DEFEND Alaska Democrats and Mary Peltola's campaign after The New York Times bombshell confirms they worked with national Democrats to find another "Dan Sullivan" to run in #AKSen to confuse voters “So, this is not illegal. It is not new” “Listen, two things you said very important. It’s not illegal and it’s not new.” “I use the term dirty tricks intentionally because it’s — it’s not illegal. This is something that — is untoward. It is something that Democrats have tried to do in races where they think it could be to their advantage to run candidates that could siphon votes away from Republicans and Republicans do the same. I mean, just in Alaska alone, Mary Peltola, who’s now on the ballot for the senate, she lost her House race two years ago. On that ballot, there was a candidate who was literally in prison who was reportedly recruited and — and kept on the ballot at the behest of Republicans. There’s a socialist running in Ohio with the hopes of taking votes away from the Democrat, Sherrod Brown. These are dirty tricks. They are legal, dirty tricks. But again, at a time when you have a President and his — supporters, particularly those with very big platforms, trying to undermine the election, and Alaska is a potentially key and even pivotal, pivotal Senate seat that could determine the outcome of the control of the Senate, it’s a big deal.” “It’s absolutely a big deal, and I think there’s no question, despite as you all have pointed out, and I think it’s worth saying, again, this was not illegal, something that [Republicans] are going to blow up.”

"Relationship coach"
Weird convo at dentist today. I stopped going to her for cleanings as I found an independent hygienist who runs a solo practice & will N95 for me and open windows. Unfortunately I needed work done on a chipped tooth. Anyway, she points to the Airfanta wearable and asks “is that

I think in order to rebuild both of their reputations, @CodyBrownBets should switch their affiliation to @courtsideapp. Only then can the prophecy be fulfilled

The democrat party's decline over the past decade can largely be attributed to their inability to define simple terms. Both Bush & Obama won in Iowa because people knew what they stood for. It's bad enough to not be able to define a woman, now we don't know what an Iowan is?!
This is the Democrat nominee for Congress in the toss-up Iowa 2nd District race. She is asked if non-citizens should receive the same government benefits as American citizens. Just watch her attempt to answer the question
