I asked Grok to generate an image based on what I post. Here you go...

@MizzouFootball This is what happens when you let Tessus come into the conference. That “fumble” was egregious, but it is how they role. Talk to Spankey - I mean Sankey at @SEC . He got paid to let them in.

@united guess what. My flight out here was delayed bc of maintenance - both aircraft and ground. i had to @Uber the last 100 miles to get to destination. It was full of lies, misinformation, and wasted time. Tonight is the same thing. Maintenance delay. Will probably miss connection No true apologies. Nothing to make it right. What a poor poor airline.

so @united heading from DFW to ORD and then on. 5 min before boarding you dalay flight bc APU is broken. Mind you the plane Had landed an hour before. Then you pull up an AC unit on ground, which turns out to also be broken. So… we are delayed bc you cant and wont do proper maintenance on ground or on flights. We MIGHT be using one of the planes that were going to sit overnight in DFW. I will miss connection in ORD. Why is your COO employed? For two yeara your service is degrading, but nothing changes in the c-suite, with your quality, or your maintenance. It is frustrating. And you can look up the flight to see which one it is.

@SEC Well done. Fix is in already. Your refs continue to suck Time for SEC to be investigated for racketeering.

Would love to know how many of the people that try to meet you in a sus manner are actually slaves. X seems to have tonned that WAY down.

The haters on Elon… are cracking me up. Nothing new, nothing original, just talking points, by peeps in their mamma’s basement.

The Bible doesn’t have to use the word abortion to address it. God made human beings in His image. He condemns the shedding of innocent human blood (Genesis 1:27; 9:6). David describes God forming him in his mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13–16). He speaks with awe about how God made him. There is value there. There is purpose. And David says God was forming “me.” His existence didn’t begin at birth. Luke calls John a baby while he is still in Elizabeth’s womb (Luke 1:41, 44). So God creates human life in the womb, that life matters to Him, and He commands us to protect innocent human life. The unborn are included in that. That is inference. It is drawing a conclusion from what Scripture actually teaches. The absence of one particular word does not erase the argument.

An awful lot of arguments against Christianity depend on adding something Scripture doesn’t say, leaving out something it does, or treating two different things as identical. Then comes the confident declaration: “Contradiction!” “Checkmate!” Before celebrating, check whether you’ve refuted the actual claim or just the version you invented. A lot of catholics, Mormons, Muslims and atheists are all using this construct today. It is easy to spot, easy to defeat, and not intellectually honest, at all.

@Uber well done! Your tech lies again. Such truly deceptive crap you roll out. Fire the entire c-suite and associated “techs” in engineering.

@travelingflying I hope you will take the time to read this: As you consider your faith, I would encourage you to take your time and carefully compare what you’re being taught with what Jesus and his apostles taught. Feeling welcomed or moved by something matters, but those feelings alone cannot establish whether its teachings are true. The mercy already offered in the gospel is extraordinary. Jesus invites the weary to come to him for rest (Matthew 11:28–30). He says he will never turn away the person who comes to him (John 6:37). Hebrews 4:14–16 tells us that because Jesus understands our weaknesses, we can approach God confidently for mercy and grace. What gives me confidence is that Jesus saves completely those who come to God through him, because he lives to intercede for them (Hebrews 7:25). That leaves me asking: what is missing from Christ that I need another religious authority to supply? Before making a commitment, I would read those passages and test every new teaching against Scripture. The Bereans were commended for doing exactly that, even when Paul was the one speaking (Acts 17:11). You are allowed to ask questions and expect thoughtful answers. A feeling can be sincere and powerful without settling whether something is true. The question I would keep coming back to is: does this teaching help me trust the Jesus revealed in Scripture, or persuade me that he and his gospel are somehow insufficient?

I’ve noticed a few recurring patterns in how LDS beliefs are defended here on X. Here are some thoughts on each. • “Pray and ask God.” Yes, pray. But how do you distinguish an answer from God from your own conviction? Scripture tells us to test spiritual claims against the apostolic gospel. • “We believe in Jesus too.” Then let’s define who Jesus is and what He accomplished. Shared words don’t necessarily mean shared beliefs. • “The Bible has similar problems.” Apply a consistent standard to both. But pointing to a difficulty in the Bible doesn’t establish that Joseph Smith spoke for God. • “How could Joseph have known that?” Examine the evidence. A literary pattern or possible historical correspondence needs to be weighed against the whole claim. • “You have to understand the context.” Agreed. Now explain how that context supports the claim that God commanded it. How do we distinguish a prophet’s personal opinion from revelation before a teaching becomes controversial? • “Look at our families and good works.” Those matter. But good conduct alone cannot establish that a revelation is true. Deuteronomy 13 requires fidelity to God even when a sign comes true. • “You’re being contentious.” We should speak respectfully. We should also examine religious claims. Asking whether a teaching is true isn’t inherently uncharitable. My standard is the Bible, and I’m explicit about that. Someone can challenge that authority, but appealing to Joseph Smith’s revelations to establish Joseph Smith’s authority doesn’t resolve our disagreement. The questions remain: Who is God? Who is Jesus? What is the gospel? And do these teachings agree with what the apostles proclaimed?

Why do Mormonbs write imaginary debates where they control both sides, give the other person ridiculous answers, and then pat themselves on the back for winning? Who is that supposed to convince? If you want an honest discussion, address what people actually believe. Deception is not a way to win converts.

@united well here is a new one. Your CRJ200’s overhead bins are so small that nothing fits. So they are gate checking everyone’s bags. I can pick up my bag at the gate in ORD. BUT i fly into F gates and out C gates. I have a 50 min connection. Now I have to wait for bag and then truck it through O’hare. Betting it will be tight. Why? Bc united contracts with a regional that flies antiquated aircraft. I have flown for a long time… but not experienced this particular clown show antic.

Why in the heck is my feed full of Tessus fans? Racism is Repugnant. Tessus fans are close to repugnant too, just in a different way.

For the record I am not a sip, hate tu, and am a Buckeye today. @OhioStateFB

Mormon theology has repeatedly changed as its claims have been challenged. Even Joseph Smith’s view of God changed. The 1830 Book of Mormon called Mary “the mother of God” and Jesus “the Eternal Father.” In 1837, Smith added “the Son of” to those passages. The Lectures on Faith described the Father as a spirit, but D&C later gave Him a physical body. Smith eventually taught that God was once a man and that men could become gods. After Smith, Brigham Young taught the Adam-God doctrine, which the Church now rejects. Polygamy was introduced as a command from God and defended by prophets for decades, but was abandoned when federal pressure threatened the Church’s property and temples. The revelation commanding plural marriage remains in D&C 132, but practicing it today will get you excommunicated. The same thing happened with race. Joseph Smith ordained Black men. Brigham Young stopped it, and later prophets defended the restriction using supposed doctrines about Cain, Ham and choices made before birth. In 1978, another revelation reversed the restriction. The Church now disavows the explanations previously taught by its own prophets. Then there are the historical claims. When the Egyptian papyri were examined and did not contain the Book of Abraham, “translation” was redefined to include the papyri merely inspiring a revelation. When DNA evidence did not support the traditional claim about Native American ancestry, the Book of Mormon introduction changed the Lamanites from “the principal ancestors” to merely “among the ancestors” of American Indians. That is the real issue. If yesterday’s prophets taught things as revelation that today’s prophets reject, redefine or quietly abandon, why should anyone trust what today’s prophet says?

So we have a Democratic candidate for Governor, a Democratic Senator and many others lying about an incident Saturday at a fair where said Democratic Candidate claimed there was an assassination attempt against he, except there wasn’t, it was just a lie. Oh the drama…

@united is at it again. Delayed. Maintenance issue. They can’t help themselves. Beautiful day and yet they can’t maintain their aircraft. Always a reason they are late. COO is still employed. Amazing. Time to start naming names.

Refs saved Michigan. Such BS.
