Absolutely! Freedom of thought and expression is priceless. Not everyone is down with the fascist censorship that you are advocating. That a Swedish company is leading the pushback shows me just how much the American left has lost the plot.

DeSean Bishop ran for 8,347 yards at Karns High School.
That is the second most in the history of Tennessee high school football.
He got two scholarship offers.
Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State. That was the entire list.
He also scored 102 touchdowns, third most in state history. He won Mr. Football in 5A two years in a row. He ran for 3,179 yards as a junior and 2,413 as a senior.
Two offers.
He committed to Coastal Carolina in July of 2022. Then the head coach there left for Liberty, and Bishop was back to nothing.
Karns High School is in Knoxville. So is the University of Tennessee.
The Tennessee Volunteers offered him a walk-on spot. No scholarship. Pay your own way.
He took it in December of 2022.
Alex Golesh was Tennessee's offensive coordinator in 2021 and 2022, the stretch when Bishop was coming through.
Bishop got hurt in camp and redshirted in 2023. In 2024 he was the backup and got 74 carries for 455 yards.
In January of 2025, Tennessee finally put him on scholarship.
That fall he started 13 games, ran for 1,076 yards and 16 touchdowns, made second team All SEC, and got nominated for the Burlsworth Trophy, which goes to the best player in college football who started out as a walk-on.
Golesh had left for South Florida to be a head coach. Then on November 30, 2025, the Auburn Tigers hired him to run their program.
Which meant that on Saturday, Alex Golesh brought Auburn into Neyland Stadium.
Tennessee wore Smokey Grey throwbacks with the old leather helmet stripes to honor General Robert Neyland.
And then it almost went wrong.
Tennessee trailed 7 to 3 at halftime. They had to pull their starting quarterback, Faizon Brandon, late in the second quarter and send out George MacIntyre instead.
So they stopped being clever and just handed DeSean Bishop the football. Over and over.
34 carries. 220 yards. Touchdown runs of 25, 44 and 5.
Tennessee ran for 237 yards as a team. Bishop had 220 of them.
No Tennessee player had gone for 200 in a game since Eric Gray in 2019.
Tennessee won 24 to 14.
Afterward he did not pretend it was a normal Saturday.
"I can't lie, this game was personal for me. Golesh was a big reason I was a walk-on. I wanted them to feel what they were missing."
Monday they named him SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week. He has now scored a touchdown in seven straight games.
Tennessee is 4 and 1. Auburn is 3 and 2.
He is 21 years old. He grew up in the same city as the school that would not give him a scholarship, and he is now the best player on its team.
Second most rushing yards in the history of high school football in his own state. Two offers, neither one of them from home.
220 on Saturday.

I rarely ask for repost but if you could share this….heartbreaking they are asking for help and can’t even get a response
@SarahHuckabee
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I am sitting at Arkansas Children’s Hospital with my 2-year-old son, Turner, and I can literally see the State Capitol from his hospital window. We will be here until Sunday at the earliest, and possibly longer if things do not go the way we hope. His doctors are telling us that even when Turner is stable enough to leave the hospital, he needs significant support to keep him safe at home. That support is available through Arkansas’s CES Waiver, but Turner cannot access it because he is sitting on the waiting list.
I have tried countless times to set up a meeting with you and have been turned down every time. So this time, I am asking you to come to us. Please come visit Turner and me at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Come see for yourself how sick he is. Let me tell you what it is like to have a 2-year-old with a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease and severe epilepsy, and what it is like to be told that your child needs more support to safely live at home while also being told that the state support meant for children like him is unavailable because of a waiting list.
Let me tell you what this is doing to our family too. I am missing work right now because my child is hospitalized. I miss work for appointments, hospital stays, seizures, therapies, illnesses, and all of the things that come with raising a medically complex child. I am exactly where I need to be, beside my son, but families cannot keep being expected to absorb lost income while also being denied the very supports that could help keep their children safe at home.
Governor Sanders, I am not asking you to read another report about the CES Waiver waitlist. I am asking you to come meet one of the children sitting on it. Turner is an Arkansas child, and he needs help now, not years from now. Please come see him, sit with us for a few minutes, and let me tell you what his doctors are saying he needs when he goes home. I want you to see for yourself what this waiting list actually looks like for a family living it.
For…Paige Kordsmeier McCammon

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

I just want everyone to understand that America has not been trying. We bully our smart kids. We spend 1000 times more on special education than gifted and talented programs. We eliminated honors classes in the name of equality. We even came up with a replacement for phonics so stupid that half our kids can’t read. Then we take the smartest kids that survive this system, and we racially and sexually discriminate against them for entry into college. Then we do that again when they apply for their first job. And again for every job after that. Then we undercut them in favor of foreign labor that’ll do worse work for cheaper. Most kids see this and just say “fuck it” and focus on sports, or trying to be an influencer, or just give up on trying altogether. Meanwhile in places like China every kid spends 16 hours a day studying trig tables or gets the belt. Yet America is still number one. In everything. There is so much latent potential in the American people. We have tried before. We crossed a continent and carved this country out of clay. We recrossed the oceans and conquered the world by accident as a favor to our friends. One day (hopefully soon), we are going to start trying again. America will wake up. Don’t be on the wrong side when it does.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! This might just be the most EPIC Trump post of all time
Trump posted a video of Maduro CHALLENGING 47 to “come get me,” followed up by a screaming Bald Eagle & Thunderstruck blaring in the background during missile fire 🇺🇸🦅
Trump said “challenge accepted” 🤣🔥

The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation."
I don't know what Agile means.
Nobody does.
That's why it works.
I make $425,000 a year.
To move sticky notes.
From left to right.
On a board.
The board is digital now.
The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses.
Progress.
Day one, I said "we need to break down silos."
Everyone nodded.
Silos are bad.
I don't know why.
But destroying them is a career.
My career.
I introduced "squads."
Squads are teams.
But disrupted.
We disrupted the teams into teams.
Different names.
Same people.
Same problems.
But Agile problems now.
Agile problems are strategic.
A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing.
I said, "The mindset."
He asked what that means.
I said, "It's a journey."
He asked where we're going.
I said, "Toward agility."
He asked what agility means.
I pointed at the sticky notes.
They were moving left to right.
That's velocity.
We have velocity now.
The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work.
I said, "That's waterfall thinking."
Waterfall is bad.
Like silos.
I don't know what waterfall is.
But I know it's bad.
She stopped talking.
Waterfall accusations end conversations.
We had a retrospective.
In the retro, we discussed what went wrong.
Everything went wrong.
We put it on sticky notes.
Then we moved the sticky notes.
Into a column called "Parking Lot."
The Parking Lot is where problems go to die.
It's full.
We don't look at it.
That's agile.
Velocity is up 40%.
I defined velocity.
I also defined the points.
I also defined the stories.
We're crushing it.
At the things I made up.
To measure.
Ourselves.
The CEO asked for ROI.
I showed a chart.
The chart went up.
Charts should go up.
This one did.
I didn't label the Y-axis.
Nobody asked.
Leadership is confidence.
We do standups now.
Every day.
We stand.
For 45 minutes.
Standing is agile.
Sitting is waterfall.
My legs hurt.
But we're transforming.
The transformation is now "Phase 3."
Phase 1 was assessment.
Phase 2 was implementation.
Phase 3 is "continuous improvement."
Continuous means forever.
Forever means job security.
I'm very secure.
My contract was extended.
Three more years.
For "cultural impact."
The culture is confused.
But impacted.
Agile transformation isn't about being agile.
It's about transforming.
Continuously.
Toward more transformation.
The destination is the journey.
The journey is billable.
