An MRI on Kyle Jusczyk’s knee revealed a sprain and bone bruise that now is expected to sideline him 2-3 weeks, per source.
Initial tests showed that 49ers offensive weapon Kyle Jusczyk hyperextended his knee and could miss “a couple of weeks”, per source. But he will undergo an MRI today to confirm if the initial tests are accurate.

BREAKING: In a shocking development Canada announces it will build a coalition of countries who share their values to build their economy and trade opportunities and will exclude the United States. “If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will.”
Q Ascension™️
Community note
This footage of Prime Minister Mark Carney is from April 2025. He made the statement in response to tariffs announced by President Trump saying Canada would lead a coalition of like-minded countries if the U.S. no longer wanted to. This is not a new announcement. youtube.com/watch?v=wCGULk… yahoo.com/news/carney-un…

We’re coming up on 30 days until the election, and people are worried about our elections. First and foremost, YES: our elections are safe and secure. Our elections are administered by the states, and despite attempts by the president to interfere, our democracy is standing tall and pushing back. The Supreme Court said the president cannot interfere with mail-in voting. Attorneys general, including Michigan’s, pushed back against efforts to access state voter rolls and won in court. And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff acknowledged that if uniformed military touch voting machines or ballots, it is illegal. There are a lot of people working hard to make sure we have free and fair elections. As always, to protect our democracy and free and fair elections, it will take engaged citizens and principled leaders.

Political opposition groups have weaponized the X algorithm to maliciously limit the reach of their opponents. Here’s how they manipulate the algorithm to do so: 1. Flood an account with a ton of new bot-controlled followers. In the case of @Babygravy9, they send 50k new followers to a guy who previous had about 250k. 2. Those 50k new followers represent one-sixth of the account’s followers. But when you account for dormant users that still inactively follow accounts, the 50k can very easily represent one-third to even one-half of the account’s active followers. It’s a material percentage. 3a. When you post on X, before the algorithm decides whether to boost your post and show it to a large audience (including “out-of-network” people who don’t follow your account), the algorithm first shows your post to a subset of your followers. If those “in-network” accounts engage positively (like, RT, QT, or—best of all—comment), the algorithm expands distribution, providing exponentially more impressions and giving the post the opportunity to go viral. 3b. On the other hand, if the subset of followers to whom the algorithm showed the post ignore it—or, even worse, if they engage negatively, by hitting the “show less” button or blocking the account entirely—the post’s distribution is quickly throttled. You can probably see where I’m going with this. 4. When our aforementioned bot accounts are shown the post from the target account, they mark it as content they are not interested in. Or they block the account (which is likely why REN mentions losing 100 or so followers per day after his follower count spiked). The algorithm then stops showing the post to *anyone*, since the initial sample group reacted negatively. 5. The target account’s posts gets no traction, they enter into a spiral of ever-decreasing engagement, and they eventually grow discouraged from having a fraction of the reach they used to have and just disengage entirely. It’s incredibly malicious. Diabolical, even. It neuters the reach of quality accounts, effectively censoring them, and it materially harms the ability of X to serve as the true digital town square. The only solution is for X to take a hands-on approach. If an account gains 10k+ followers in a day and there hasn’t been a viral post leading to the growth, they should have Grok review all the new followers and purge any that look like bots. Otherwise, this tactic is only going to become more common.
For many months something very odd has been happening to my account, culminating in my being totally rejected for the original creator program after being made to wait for over three weeks. I've long suspected someone at Twitter has their finger on the scale, and now I'm convinced. A couple of months ago I gained 50k followers overnight, unexpectedly. For the better part of a year, maybe longer, I'd barely gained any followers, even though my analytics told me I was gaining hundreds a day. After this recent explosion, every single day I've lost at least a hundred followers. We all know what effect this has: it tells the algorithm to hide you, and that's exactly what's been happening. Other accounts I've spoken to tell me they've seen similar things happen: a huge influx of followers, then a gradual falloff that effectively makes them invisible. So why is this happening? I've spoken to Premium Support and received no help whatsoever. Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter was supposed to guarantee freedom of speech, but in many ways, we've substituted an overt form of censorship that could be understood and accepted--a ban could come at any second--with a much more insidious form that also, in the case of the new rewards program, seems to allow great latitude for individual engineers to really mess with you if they don't like you. Of course we all know what should have been done to prevent the rampant scamming. @elonmusk

The reason why Trump is president is because the US has way too many people like this.
Trump fans in Oklahoma: "He's gonna fix it. Believe in him, stand strong ... all the abortion, it's evil. That's one thing that Trump stands for is us Christians. We're being killed everywhere. I want to see two people -- Trump and Jesus ... we do not want Muslims taking over ... I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country ... they need to pack up their stuff and go back to where they came from."

This is unacceptable for our military. Our military swears an oath to the Constitution not to a religion, a diety, or a book. It is made up of all Americans and reflects our entire society. It must not be turned into a Christian militia.
Our military MUST remain a virtuous army of believers. @SecWar is fulfilling George Washington’s lived-out mandate to equip our soldiers with the Armor of God. Let’s go! 🇺🇸

The single greatest threat facing our country is CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM. This was ALWAYS their plan. This is what the last two years of firings at the Pentagon have really been about.

Chilling words. Senator Dick Durbin at the Jack Smith Hearing just now: “There are moments I’ll never forget. Twenty-five years ago, 9/11 was one of those moments when we were asked to evacuate the Capitol for fear of what might happen if the terrorists attacked. “But the day I’ll also remember as long as I live is January 6, 2021, when this cathedral of democracy was overrun by violent insurrectionists at the direction of the President of the United States.”
