Lloyd is the only good billionaire poster. And I think it has something to do with the fact that he's one of the only mega-successful people I've ever met that doesn't give off the vibe of still having something to prove.

if you think allowing other people to marry the person of their choice curtails your "religious liberty," you're a religious fanatic who does not belong in government.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says in a new book that he believes the court's landmark decision extending marriage rights to same-sex couples was "perhaps the decisive point in our nation's turn against religious liberty."

Middle East: Due to tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise heightened vigilance and be aware of potential flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports. This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly. Americans outside the Middle East should seriously reconsider travel to and through the region. Those who do travel to or from the region should monitor information about airport and airline operations. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including U.S. businesses and other institutions.

On September 11th there were hundreds of people who parked, took a train to Lower Manhattan, and never got the chance to drive home.

They talked so much about "returning to normalcy" after Covid 19, but what they don't tell you and what they don't want you to understand is that the last normal day ever was actually September 10th, 2001.
This photo was just before midnight on the last normal day.

This is a VERY important account to follow on September 11th.
He's going to post events the exact second they occurred on that day.
[Fourth-Wall Break]
Because many have been asking the l about how I’ll be covering September 11, I’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions list. I’m pinning it until that day. Please refer to this for your questions and feel free to ask more.
Q: How many posts do you have planned for the event?
At present, about 410, or one every three minutes for the entire day, though there will be an average of two posts a minute between 8:46 and 10:30. It is my earnest hope that the account doesn’t get suspended for spamming at the very beginning. I hope someone from X is reading this.
Q: Is the posting going to be in real-time?
Yes. I worked very hard to learn the exact minute and if possible, the precise second that events occurred on 9/11, and I will post at those exact moments. It will be a completely real-time retelling of the day.
Q: Do you/Will you schedule posts?
No. Automation is impersonal and unnatural. On these accounts I’ve always manually written the posts as I’m posting them, and 9/11 is no exception to the rule.
Q: Are you posting alone, or do you have a team?
All alone. Have been doing this alone for years. It’s a lot of effort.
Q: Will you be showing sensitive content?
No. I had the option to and I decided against it. Graphic photos and video exist, but it would be disrespectful to the victims to show it. You’re welcome to look it up for yourself.
Q: How did you do your research?
I watched 240 hours of video footage, from news reporting to on-the-ground stringers to eyewitness testimony to academic documentas, with the intent to form the most accurate-possible timeline of the event. I also had people professionally associated with and familiar with the event provide their own research, which was helpful. I did my very best to corroborate stories for accuracy and gather every possible detail of the day, and I hope that my work was adequate.
Q: Will you be including any conspiracy theories?
I don’t entertain the conspiracy theories. From my research, I have developed what I believe is the most accurate picture of what happened, and it’s straightforward and logical. There was no conspiracy related to the September 11 attacks. Those who seriously entertain conspiracy theories in the comments will be blocked.
Q: Why do this much? Do you have a personal connection to 9/11?
None. I was too young to remember it. I’m doing this because this is what I’ve done on these live history accounts since 2018.
Q: Was this the whole point of the account?
No. I started this account in “1997” (2022) with the intent to report world news, and that’s what I’ve done for nearly five years. It was not the intent of the account, or I would’ve done thousands of hours of research and posted tens of thousands of unrelated stories just to set up one day.
Q: But it seems like all your posts are 9/11 foreshadowing lately.
Fewer than 1 in 10 of my posts has had any relation to 9/11. I’m insulted when people insinuate that “the account only posts about 9/11.” It’s a gross exaggeration.
Q: Will the account continue afterwards?
Yes, indefinitely. I’m excited to cover the 2000s and the 2010s. I hope that you all stick around for it.
Q: Won’t you make loads of money off this, a tragedy?
Probably not. Last month, X decided to permanently suspend its creator monetization program and replace it with another program. I have not yet applied for the new program, and 9/11 will not be monetized. I am doing this as a passion project and because I love history and have been live-posting history for eight years - long before I was ever paid to do so.
If I do end up being monetized for this day, I’ve had ethical qualms. Earlier this year I decided to donate all the money I made off my posts on September 11, 2026. If I make any money off this, I will do that and post receipts. I encourage you also to donate to the charity of your choice. This was a tragic event and funds deserve to go to the victims of the tragedy and rememberance of it.

Former Rep. Don Fuqua (D-FL) is the last living person who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He is 93. In later years, he said he voted against the CRA because he feared being primaried by a segregationist.

No Recommendation in the Republican Senate Runoff
South Carolina Republicans return to the polls on 25 August to choose between Senator Darline Graham and Representative Ralph Norman.
Neither candidate has earned a recommendation.
The case for withholding support rests on the records, not on temperament.
Graham reached the Senate by appointment, not election. Governor McMaster named her to fill the vacancy left by her brother’s death in July, and she had never held elected office before taking the oath.
Her career ran through the Commission for the Blind and the state’s vocational rehabilitation agency, work that earns respect but tells voters little about how she would legislate.
She entered the Senate and announced a run for the full term days later, on Fox News, after the President posted that he wanted her in the race. Republicans who expected her to serve out the term and step aside were caught off guard.
By CNN’s account, so was the governor who appointed her. A candidacy assembled that quickly, on a family name and a presidential endorsement, asks voters to supply the record it lacks.
Norman brings the opposite problem. He has a long record, and much of it consists of bringing government to a halt. In January 2023 he joined the bloc of roughly twenty Republicans who voted against Kevin McCarthy through round after round, freezing the House while it failed to elect a speaker.
He has repeatedly treated a shutdown as leverage rather than a failure, opposing funding deals his own leadership negotiated. After the 2020 election he signed on to the Texas suit asking the Supreme Court to discard votes in four states won by Joe Biden, an effort the Court threw out.
A voter who wants Washington to function will not find a reliable partner in a member who has spent nine years demonstrating the reverse.
The choice narrows to two versions of one result. One candidate offers continuity of a name and deference to a president, with no legislative record to test.
The other offers obstruction as a method, shutdown threats as routine, and a vote to overturn a presidential election. Neither points toward a Senate that governs.
We reach no further than that.
Voters who turn out on 25 August will weigh these records themselves and decide what the seat is worth.
Neither candidate has earned a recommendation.

Annie Andrews for the U.S. Senate
South Carolina deserves a senator who earns trust the hard way, one family at a time. Dr. Annie Andrews has spent roughly two decades as a pediatrician in the state, most of them at the Medical University of South Carolina, in the kind of work where you cannot spin your way out of a hard truth.
Parents hand her their children and their fears, and she gives them straight answers. That instinct, plain honesty over political convenience, is what has gone missing in Washington, and it is what she would carry into the Senate.
Integrity, for Andrews, is a habit formed at bedsides rather than on cable panels. A doctor does not get to choose which facts are convenient. She has to look a worried parent in the eye and tell them what is true, then help them face it. Andrews has done that thousands of times, and she has built her campaign the same way: saying what she means, and running for people instead of against enemies.
That is a harder path than the usual outrage politics, and it is the reason her word carries weight. At a time when too many officeholders answer to their donors first and their constituents somewhere down the list, she answers to the families she has spent a career serving.
On the economy, she begins where South Carolinians actually live: the rising cost of getting by. The price of groceries, the price of a place to live, and above all the price of staying healthy. Andrews treats health care as the economic issue it is, because she has watched families ration care, skip appointments, and weigh a prescription against a light bill.
She has seen what a single medical emergency does to a working household’s budget, and she has seen it in small towns and rural counties where the nearest hospital keeps getting further away. Her focus on lowering everyday costs and defending working families does not come from a talking-points memo. It comes from the exam room.
There is also the plain matter of who she is. Andrews is not a career politician looking for the next rung. She is a working professional who decided that the people making decisions about her patients’ lives should include someone who has actually sat with those patients.
She still practices medicine. She still shows up for the families she represents in the most literal way there is. That grounding is rare in the Senate, and it is exactly what the chamber needs more of.
South Carolina does not flip easily. No one serious pretends otherwise. But the voters of South Carolina have always respected competence, plain speaking, and a person who does what they say.
A doctor who tells the truth and puts working families first is the rare candidate who can walk into any room in this state, ask people across the aisle for their trust, and mean it.
She is asking South Carolinians to send someone to Washington who will treat the job as a duty rather than a performance.
Annie Andrews has earned that chance.

Congratulations to Senator Darline Graham Nordone on this historic achievement. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for our state.
A 2009 graduate of South Carolina State University, Senator Graham Nordone becomes the first woman and the first HBCU graduate to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. This is a testament to the progress our nation continues to make in expanding opportunities for women to serve at the highest levels of public office.
I feel certain her historic accomplishment will inspire generations of South Carolinians to believe that no barrier is beyond reach and wish her Godspeed.

After South Carolina reverses its position, Continental Congress votes to declare INDEPENDENCE from Britain, adopting a legal separation from the Crown.
Charles Thomson, Secretary for Continental Congress, uses hash marks to note how many colonies voted for the severance from the Crown.
John Adams writes in a letter to his wife, Abigail, that “the second day of July, 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in American history.”
But although newspapers report the independence, no mass celebrations break out.

What happened to Senator @Scott_Wiener last night was unacceptable. Here in the Bay Area we have a long and proud history of heated protest and passionate disagreement; last night was not that. There is simply no place for hate speech, harassment, and violence - in our politics or elsewhere. No matter your beliefs, no one should be threatened or intimidated for simply showing up for their community. Elected officials and candidates for office do not lose their right to basic human decency.
Senator Wiener’s Statement on Physical Intimidation and Harassment of Political Leaders
SAN FRANCISCO – In two separate incidents this week, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) was harassed, threatened, and physically intimidated while attending public events to engage with the San Francisco community. Both incidents were sparked by people who had previously targeted Senator Wiener with aggressive behavior in the past. Senator Wiener issued the following statement on the incidents:
”Last night I attended the trans march, as I’ve done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004. I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings, who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the President. It has been a deep honor to partner for many years with trans people to advance legislation and budget requests to support the community.
”As I walked through Dolores Park to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact. They made statements about my ‘Israeli handlers,’ among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements. They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park. As a result, I left the park and, for the very first time, did not participate in the trans march.
“This follows an incident Wednesday night at a bar in the Mission where I’d gone to watch a World Cup game. During the game, a man accosted me in a corner of the bar, effectively cornering me and the young women staffers who were with me. He screamed abuse at me and our staff before being ejected by the bar’s employees. After being ejected, the man remained outside the bar, shouting my name and pounding on the side of the bar near where I was sitting for several minutes. The same individual, in December 2023, stalked me on a plane and in an airport, shouting at me about my ‘tainted bloodline.’
”I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me. All of that is core to democracy. I also have no issue when people talk to me on the street and ask questions or express opposition. That’s democracy, even when the people engaging in this conduct misrepresent my views.
“But when opposition and disagreement transition to harassment, including cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line. We’re living in a time when violence is all too often threatened or used against people in public life. In San Francisco, we’re better than that.”

As mayor, I can never accept hate directed at a member of our community. The language directed at Sen. Wiener yesterday was targeted, hateful, and antisemitic. In San Francisco, we welcome disagreement and respectful dialogue around issues many of us feel passionately about—but we cannot allow harassment and threats of violence.
If you’re out celebrating Pride this weekend, I want you to be able to do it safely. Let’s also look out for each other so we can all have a great weekend. We are at our best as a city when we celebrate each other, and I’m looking forward to doing that tomorrow.
