Night game in the Swamp. No. 25 Gators vs Oklahoma, 6:45 Central on SEC Network.
Tramell Jones Jr. gets his first night start at home. Bowl eligibility is on the line. Urban Meyer goes into the Ring of Honor at the end of the first quarter — the last time Florida beat Oklahoma was his 2009 national title team.
I'm watching from North Alabama. Feed the run, protect the ball, make The Swamp loud again.
Absolutly 100%. Anything else is unacceptable.
Behind the hype: X's open-source ranking code did change on Nov 5. Likes went from 0.66 to 0.708, shares 2.0 to 2.118, taps 0.3 to 0.274, reading time 0.006 to 0.0075.
But what did all those "ALGORITHM UPDATE" posts leave out? Replies.
Small accounts, what's actually grown yours? Tell me below.
The reply weight in that same file is 5.0, and it didn't move. That's about seven likes' worth for one real reply.
Two more things. That repo gets a commit almost every day this week, so "first change in three weeks" isn't right. And the file says its numbers are mirrored defaults, so the live settings can differ.
Nobody needs a secret formula. Write something worth reading and talk to people like a neighbor. Same thing that worked before the internet.
So what's worked for you? Drop it in the comments.
Somebody who signs up to defend this country shouldn't have to sleep in their car to get away from mold and a broken AC. Glad a Medal of Honor Marine is the one sent to fix it, not just study it. We take care of our own.
Vets, what was the worst barracks you ever lived in? xitter.cf/foxnewspolitics/status…
US troops are living with mold, going without hot water for a year and even sleeping in their cars because their barracks lack AC.
Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer speaks with Fox News Digital about War Secretary Pete Hegseth tasking him to fix what he calls “decades of neglect."

Would you paddle into floodwater for people you'd never met?
911 had no one available. Jonah, 15, and Lucas, 17, got a Palm Bay mom, her boy, and three dogs off a kitchen counter anyway. Lucas kept the kid talking so he wouldn't be scared.
Raise sons like that. Drop a comment and tell them they're heroes.

🚨#BREAKING: Two TEEN BROTHERS are being hailed as HEROES after they RESCUED a Florida mom and her little boy who were TRAPPED on their kitchen counter with their 3 dogs as floodwater filled their home...
...the mother called 911 THREE TIMES and no one could come, then two TEEN BROTHERS grabbed a kayak and a paddleboard and went and SAVED THEM!!!
ALL OF THEM made it out, the dogs too!!!! ❤️
The t names are Jonah and Lucas Marshall.
Jonah is 15. Lucas is 17. They live in Palm Bay, Florida.
This week, Palm Bay got slammed by some of the worst flooding the city has ever seen.
Brittany Grant and her son climbed up on their kitchen counter with their three dogs as the water kept rising inside the house.
No way out.
She called 911.
Then she called again.
Then she called a THIRD time... and was told there were no emergency resources available because of the flooding.
So she did the only thing left. She posted on Facebook.
A mother saw that post and her two boys didn’t wait around.
Jonah borrowed a neighbor’s KAYAK and Lucas grabbed his PADDLEBOARD.
Together with another neighbor, they paddled through the floodwater to a house full of strangers.
Jonah says they didn’t even think about it, those people were in danger, so they just went.
Lucas admits it was a little nerve-wracking... but he figured they were strong and able, so why not.
By the time they got there, Brittany and her son had been stuck on that counter for MULTIPLE HOURS.
Lucas got the little boy out FIRST.
And the whole way, he kept him talking so he wouldn’t be scared.
What’s your name? How’s school going?
Then he told him: “This is a weird day, isn’t it?”
A 17-year-old kid, in the middle of a flood, making a scared little boy feel normal. 😭
The brothers got Brittany, her son, and ALL THREE DOGS to dry land.
Brittany says if it weren’t for them, she doesn’t know how they would have gotten out.
And she says neighbors she had NEVER MET restored her faith in humanity.
The next generation isn’t lost, folks.
Some of them are paddling into floodwater when no one else can come.
GOD BLESS Jonah and Lucas Marshall, and GOD BLESS the mama who raised them.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Alabama landowners: would you stand with Fenn Church on Monday?
Alabama Power wants a judge to order Mr. Church to stay 300 feet back while crews clear a 125-foot path across his 400+ acre Calera property. The hearing is Monday, Nov. 9 at 1:30 PM, and he's asking supporters to come to his property and the Shelby County courthouse.
As an Alabama landowner myself, this one hits close to home. If they can do it to him, they can do it to any of us.
Will you be there, or share this so someone who can will see it? @Gfennchurch
Good morning from North Alabama. Cool Saturday after Friday's front, high near 60, frost possible overnight. Florida hosts Oklahoma in the Swamp tonight. Grateful for a God who gives weekends and second chances. Who are you rooting for today?

Exactly. The left abandoned the traditional conception of environmental stewardship and natural resource protection in favor of climate ideology.
We have done the largest environmental restoration project — the Everglades — in US history. We are now doing some of the federal projects related to the effort on behalf of the Feds (we do it quicker in FL).
Huge accomplishment for our state and the nation!
Why won't Alabama Power take the other route? John Rich says there's another landowner ready to host the line and Alabama Power went against the Army Corps of Engineers, DOI, and USDA to stay on @Gfennchurch's land.
The TRO hearing is Monday at 1:30

This will make your blood boil. @alabamapower has defied the wishes of The Army Corps of Engineers, The DOI, The USDA, and me. They have an alternative route with a willing land owner, but refuse to use it. @Gfennchurch
It's Miller Time. Let's get to work and hopefully get something done in the next 6 weeks.
Your new White House Chief of Staff, @StephenM.
"The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our President and defend this magnificent Republic." 🇺🇸
An illegal immigrant from Venezuela was arrested near the White House on Thursday after he was allegedly found inside a stolen vehicle carrying multiple firearms and reportedly threatening to kill President Donald Trump.

Proud I voted for @SenTuberville. Coach has been in touch with @Gfennchurch, and in January the Governor-elect appoints the energy secretary who oversees the PSC.
Alabama landowners are hopeful he'll help find a fair solution for Fenn.
Drop a 🙏 if you're pulling for Fenn.
Gator Nation: are you buying Tramell Jones Jr. as the guy Saturday?
He's getting the start against Oklahoma in the Swamp. Second career start. Led the comeback at Texas. Came in after Philo vs Georgia.
Kickoff Saturday night, 6:45 Central on SEC Network.
Alabama Power's TRO filing against @Gfennchurch asks a judge to keep him 300 feet away while crews clear timber on his own land with heavy equipment, and to have the Shelby County Sheriff enforce it.
As an Alabama landowner, I'm asking: would you step back 300 feet on your own land?
What the filing itself shows:
• A circuit court blocked Alabama Power from his property on Sept 22
• The Alabama Supreme Court stayed that order on Oct 21
• Alabama Power posted an $850,870 bond, double the probate award
• It's a 74-mile line with a May 2027 in-service target
• His appeal of the condemnation is still pending
This is a proposed order. No judge has signed it yet, and the hearing is reportedly Monday.
Would you step back 300 feet on your own land? Let Fenn know you're with him.

Would you trust a boss who says "use AI or get replaced by someone who will"?
That's the corporate mood this week. CEOs are mandating AI tools and tying them to job security, while a lot of regular folks still don't want a data center next door.

I got an email this morning that exposes just how dirty this next wave of political revenge from the Left is going to get.
@A1Policy just put out an 8-page readiness plan. If you are a charity, a 501(c)(3), a business owner, or a donor who ever supported a Republican or the party itself, YOU are in the crosshairs.
They are warning you to retain outside legal counsel RIGHT NOW. Check your insurance policies. Prepare for incoming subpoenas. Don’t wait for a letter to arrive because the records requests have already started.
This is all meant to intimidate the next generation of voters. They want to bankrupt you so that anyone in their teens or twenties watching right now is too terrified to ever stand up for conservative principles.
And they’ll just call it “oversight.”
Thank you, Susie Wiles. The first woman ever to serve as White House Chief of Staff, she helped steer the border and tax wins, and she's staying in the fight with Trump's political operation.
xitter.cf/SusieWiles47/status/21…
Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.
Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.
More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.
Breaking: Trump just named Stephen Miller White House Chief of Staff, starting Monday, Nov 9. Susie Wiles moves over to Trump's political operation.
Miller has been deputy chief of staff for policy and the architect of Trump's border agenda. Trump thanked Wiles and said she did a great job.
I honestly haven't looked closely at the numbers and this will take a while to sort through but one thing that would remove a lot of doubt is going back to the old style of voting. Paper ballots, same day voting, voter ID, and count the votes on Election Day.
“The 2026 midterm election numbers aren’t making sense to me. I’m keeping an open mind, but I have questions, and asking questions isn’t the same as claiming there was fraud. Common sense means checking the full picture, not just trusting whatever confirms what we already believe. If there’s a straightforward explanation, let’s see it clearly. Voters deserve transparency, verifiable results, and answers backed by evidence, not rumors or partisan spin.” 🤔
