AOC Says Her Twitter Account Broke After She Made Fun of Elon Musk

Another day, another Elon Musk feud on Twitter — except now, he's the owner of the social network, and he's beefing with AOC.

Latest Feud

Another day, another Elon Musk feud on Twitter — except now, he's the owner of the social network, and he's beefing with a sitting member of Congress.

The whole thing started innocently enough earlier this week, when firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY, and better known by her initials, "AOC") subtweeted the website's new owner.

"Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that 'free speech' is actually a $8/mo subscription plan," the New York Democratic Socialist tweeted in a post that, upon Futurism's perusal, appeared to load only half the time.

Sweat Equity

Not one to be shown up, Musk later posted a screenshot of an AOC-branded sweatshirt from the congressperson's website, with its $58 price tag circled and an emoji belying the billionaire's alleged affront at the price.

In response, Ocasio-Cortez said she was proud her sweatshirts were made by union labor, and that the proceeds from their sales were going to fund educational support for needy kids. She later dug in further, noting that her account was "conveniently" not working and joking that Musk couldn't buy his way "out of insecurity."

Yo @elonmusk while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for their app to get bricked when they say something you don’t like?

This is what my app has looked like ever since my tweet upset you yesterday. What’s good? Doesn’t seem very free speechy to me ? pic.twitter.com/e3hcZ7T9up

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 3, 2022

Bricked

To be clear, any suggestion that Musk personally had anything to do with any Twitter glitches on AOC's part would seem ludicrously petty. But then again, this is a guy who once hired a private detective to investigate a random critic.

Occam's razor, though, suggests that it was probably AOC's mega-viral tweet that broke the site's notoriously dodgy infrastructure. Of course, that's not a ringing endorsement of the site that Musk just acquired for the colossal sum of $44 billion.

Chinese Spaceplane Releases Mystery Object Into Orbit

After launching into orbit three months ago, China's top-secret spaceplane has released a mysterious object, which is now circling the Earth behind it.

Spaceplane Buddy

After launching into orbit roughly three months ago, China's top-secret spaceplane has released a mysterious object, which is now circling the Earth behind it, SpaceNews reports.

There's very little we know about China's "reusable experimental spacecraft," except that it launched atop a Long March 2F rocket back in August. We don't know its purpose, what it looks like, or what cargo it was carrying during launch — but it's an intriguing development, nonetheless, for China's reusable launch platform.

Mysterious Object

The object was released between October 24 and October 31, according to tracking data being analyzed by the US Space Force's 18th pace Defense Squadron.

We can only hazard a guess as to what the mysterious object's purpose is. According to Harvard astronomer and space tracker Jonathan McDowell, it "may be a service module, possibly indicating an upcoming deorbit burn."

Based on the size and weight of payloads Long March rockets usually carry, China's mysterious spaceplane is likely similar to the Air Force's X-37B spaceplane, which is similarly shrouded in mystery and currently on its sixth mission.

We also don't know when the Chinese model will make its return back to Earth, but given recent activity at the Lop Nur base in Xinjiang suggests, it may land there in the near future, according to the report.

It's a puzzling new development for China's secretive spacecraft — but it does raise the possibility of a renewed interest in spaceplanes, a potentially affordable and reusable way to launch payloads into orbit.

That "Research" About How Smartphones Are Causing Deformed Human Bodies Is SEO Spam, You Idiots

That

You know that "research" going around saying humans are going to evolve to have hunchbacks and claws because of the way we use our smartphones? Though our posture could certainly use some work, you'll be glad to know that it's just lazy spam intended to juice search engine results.

Let's back up. Today the Daily Mail published a viral story about "how humans may look in the year 3000." Among its predictions: hunched backs, clawed hands, a second eyelid, a thicker skull and a smaller brain.

Sure, that's fascinating! The only problem? The Mail's only source is a post published a year ago by the renowned scientists at... uh... TollFreeForwarding.com, a site that sells, as its name suggests, virtual phone numbers.

If the idea that phone salespeople are purporting to be making predictions about human evolution didn't tip you off, this "research" doesn't seem very scientific at all. Instead, it more closely resembles what it actually is — a blog post written by some poor grunt, intended to get backlinks from sites like the Mail that'll juice TollFreeForwarding's position in search engine results.

To get those delicious backlinks, the top minds at TollFreeForwarding leveraged renders of a "future human" by a 3D model artist. The result of these efforts is "Mindy," a creepy-looking hunchback in black skinny jeans (which is how you can tell she's from a different era).

Grotesque model reveals what humans could look like in the year 3000 due to our reliance on technology

Full story: https://t.co/vQzyMZPNBv pic.twitter.com/vqBuYOBrcg

— Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) November 3, 2022

"To fully realize the impact everyday tech has on us, we sourced scientific research and expert opinion on the subject," the TollFreeForwarding post reads, "before working with a 3D designer to create a future human whose body has physically changed due to consistent use of smartphones, laptops, and other tech."

Its sources, though, are dubious. Its authority on spinal development, for instance, is a "health and wellness expert" at a site that sells massage lotion. His highest academic achievement? A business degree.

We could go on and on about TollFreeForwarding's dismal sourcing — some of which looks suspiciously like even more SEO spam for entirely different clients — but you get the idea.

It's probably not surprising that the this gambit for clicks took off among dingbats on Twitter. What is somewhat disappointing is that it ended up on StudyFinds, a generally reliable blog about academic research. This time, though, for inscrutable reasons it treated this egregious SEO spam as a legitimate scientific study.

The site's readers, though, were quick to call it out, leading to a comically enormous editor's note appended to the story.

"Our content is intended to stir debate and conversation, and we always encourage our readers to discuss why or why not they agree with the findings," it reads in part. "If you heavily disagree with a report — please debunk to your delight in the comments below."

You heard them! Get debunking, people.

Jeff Bezos’ Housekeeper Says She Had to Climb Out the Window to Use the Bathroom

Jeff Bezos' ex- housekeeper is suing him for discrimination that led to her allegedly having to literally sneak out out of his house to use the bathroom.

Jeff Bezos' former housekeeper is suing the Amazon founder for workplace discrimination that she says forced her to literally climb out out the window of his house to use the bathroom.

In the suit, filed this week in a Washington state court, the former housekeeper claimed that she and Bezos' other household staff were not provided with legally-mandated eating or restroom breaks, and that because there was no "readily accessible bathroom" for them to use, they had to clamber out a laundry room window to get to one.

In the complaint, lawyers for the ex-housekeeper, who is described as having worked for wealthy families for nearly 20 years, wrote that household staff were initially allowed to use a small bathroom in the security room of Bezos' main house, but "this soon stopped... because it was decided that housekeepers using the bathroom was a breach of security protocol."

The suit also alleges that housekeepers in the billionaire's employ "frequently developed Urinary Tract Infections" that they believed was related to not being able to use the bathroom when they needed to at work.

"There was no breakroom for the housekeepers," the complaint adds. "Even though Plaintiff worked 10, 12, and sometimes 14 hours a day, there was no designated area for her to sit down and rest."

The housekeeper — who, like almost all of her coworkers, is Latino — was allegedly not aware that she was entitled to breaks for lunch or rest, and was only able to have a lunch break when Bezos or his family were not on the premises, the lawsuit alleges.

The Washington Post owner has denied his former housekeeper's claims of discrimination through an attorney.

"We have investigated the claims, and they lack merit," Harry Korrell, a Bezos attorney, told Insider of the suit. "[The former employee] made over six figures annually and was the lead housekeeper."

He added that the former housekeeper "was responsible for her own break and meal times, and there were several bathrooms and breakrooms available to her and other staff."

"The evidence will show that [the former housekeeper] was terminated for performance reasons," he continued. "She initially demanded over $9M, and when the company refused, she decided to file this suit."

As the suit was just filed and may well end in a settlement, it'll likely be a long time, if ever, before we find out what really happened at Bezos' house — but if we do, it'll be a fascinating peek behind the curtain at the home life of one of the world's most powerful and wealthy men.

Hackers Just Took Down One of the World’s Most Advanced Telescopes

ALMA is one of the largest and most advanced radio telescopes in the world. And for reasons still unknown to the public, hackers decided to take it down.

Observatory Offline

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) Observatory in Chile has been hit with a cyberattack that has taken its website offline and forced it to suspend all observations, authorities there said.

Even email services were limited in the aftermath, illustrating the broad impact of the hack.

Nested high up on a plateau in the Chilean Andes at over 16,000 feet above sea level, ALMA is one of the most powerful and advanced radio telescopes in the world. Notably, ALMA helped take the first image of a black hole in 2019, in a collaborative effort that linked radio observatories worldwide into forming the Event Horizon Telescope.

Thankfully, ALMA's impressive arsenal of 66 high-precision antennas, each nearly 40 feet in diameter, was not compromised, the observatory said, nor was any of the scientific data those instruments collected.

In High Places

What makes ALMA so invaluable is its specialty in observing the light of the cooler substances of the cosmos, namely gas and dust. That makes ALMA a prime candidate for documenting the fascinating formations of planets and stars when they first emerge amidst clouds of gas.

Since going fully operational in 2013, it's become the largest ground-based astronomical project in the world, according to the European Southern Observatory, ALMA's primary operators.

So ALMA going offline is a distressing development, especially to the thousands of astronomers worldwide that rely on its observations and the some 300 experts working onsite. Getting it up and running is obviously a top priority, but the observatory said in a followup tweet that "it is not yet possible to estimate a date for a return to regular activities."

As of now, there's no information available on who the hackers were, or exactly how they conducted the attack. Their motivations, too, remain a mystery.

Where To Buy The Air Jordan 1 Stealth – Sneaker News

This past Saturday, Jordan Brand ushered in the debut of the Air Jordan 12 Stealth. And come tomorrow, just a few days thereafter, the colorway will have already returned, doing so by way of the much-beloved Air Jordan 1.

Despite bearing the same nickname as an older and arguably more notable Air Jordan 5, this pair as well as the above-mentioned AJ12 stand on their own. This is thanks to their lack of Hyper Royal, which accented the Tinker Hatfield-designed sneaker across its outsole and lining. Here, Peter Moores beloved creation comes clad predominantly in white, applying said neutral to most of the leather upper. The titular Stealth grey then comes in adjacent, painted onto fixtures such as the Swoosh, heel counter, toe box, and the like.

For yet another look at the Air Jordan 1 Stealth, ahead of tomorrows release, see below. Youll also find links to participating retailers as well as Nike SNKRS.

Where To Buy The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Olive Toe – Sneaker News

The Air Jordan 1 Mid is easily one of the most divisive offerings in the brands catalog, with most quick to reject the silhouette regardless of colorway. But if you keep an open mind, this catalog is sure to surprise you, as its well replete with designs at-times more interesting than that of the AJ1 High. This upcoming release, the Olive Toe, is one such pair, as it incorporates tried and true color blocking as well as a few unique details.

Scheduled to hit retailers in just a couple days, the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE Olive Toe replaces leather for canvas. This material constructs most of the upper, which is comprised of black, white, and olive hues. Said neutrals echo the placement of past colored toe options, framing the earth tone that takes the helm across the forefoot, rear, and tongue. And though unassuming in its darker shade, the branding is equally of note: the Wings and Swoosh, both of which are embroidered, are styled in a way minimal and reminiscent of Stussys work, respectively.

For a closer look at the Olive Toe ahead of its upcoming release, see below. These are slated to hit the EU on September 1st and the US the following day, September 2nd. For more details and links to participating shops, see below.

Jim Jordan Slammed for His Tweet on the Virtues of ‘Real America’ – Newsweek

Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan was ripped online Monday after he shared his view of "Real America."

"In Real America, you work hard, pay your bills, and provide for your family," Jordan wrote in a tweet. "Isn't that how it should be?"

Shortly after Jordan's tweet, a number of social media users responded, with many critical of his remark, prompting the phrase "Real America," to trend on Twitter. Jordan's tweet comes shortly after some Republican lawmakers criticized the White House for the student loan forgiveness plan.

Jordan's Democratic challenger for his House seat, Tamie Wilson, responded to the Republican, saying, "In Real America, people don't get paid $174,000 a year in taxpayer money to pass ZERO legislation and spread lies on Fox News and Twitter every, single day."

In a statement sent to Newsweek, Wilson continued her criticism of Jordan, saying, "The people sent him to Washington to look out for them and their best interests, but he doesn't do anything for the people in Ohio. Actually he does, he votes against Ohio every chance he gets. He voted against capping the gas hike, which would have helped people, especially farmers, in his district. He voted against the CHIPS ACT which is set to bring 10k jobs and $20 billion to Ohio! Who does that? But, he has no problem with his Congressional colleagues taking PPP money."

California Democratic Representative Ted Lieu also responded to Jordan's tweet: "Dear @Jim_Jordan: My constituents in Real America work hard, pay their bills and provide for their families just like your constituents."

Lieu continued, "But there's one big difference: we don't force government mandated pregnancies on women and teens who are raped. Isn't that how it should be?"

Twitter user Ty-22 wrote, "In Real America, you inform authorities about students' abuse, don't incite insurrection, plot a coup, ask for pardon and don't lie to Americans everyday as a lawmaker. Isn't that how it should be?"

Twitter user Daniel T. Ho wrote, "You've been in Congress for 15 yrs & haven't sponsored a bill that's become law. Maybe you should do your job before telling us what Real America wants."

On the other hand, Twitter user @Wemophil showed support for Jordan, saying, "That is how it was before Biden."

This is not the first time Jordan has tweeted about "Real America," as he posted a similar response this month following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.

"Real America wants affordable gas and groceries," Jordan tweeted August 8. "Senate Democrats just gave them higher taxes and 87,000 IRS agents."

Jordan's tweet was met with criticism, such as one response from Twitter user Sonic Death Markey, who wrote, "Real America just raided Mar-a-Lago, Jim ... with real FBI agents ... and a real search warrant ... searching for real missing documents. Have fun with that information. - Love, The Real America."

In June, Jordan once again made a similar remark on Twitter while discussing the committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, saying that "Real America doesn't care about the January 6 Committee."

Newsweek has reached out to Jordan's office for further comment.

The rest is here:

AMMAN, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and his visiting Norwegian counterpart Anniken Huitfeldt on Monday vowed to expand bilateral cooperation in various fields.

At a meeting in the Jordanian capital city, the two ministers also discussed ways to advance economic, trade, tourism, environmental protection, and food security-related partnerships, in addition to defense cooperation and counter-terrorism efforts, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Talks also went over regional developments, including the Palestinian cause, the Syrian crisis, support for Iraq, efforts in regional security and stability, as well as the repercussions of the Ukrainian crisis.

At a joint press conference, Safadi praised the clear position taken by the Norwegian side in supporting the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Palestinian economy, and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

He said the Norwegian minister was familiar with Jordan's efforts in resuming the "serious and effective" peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis that push for a two-state solution.

For her part, Huitfeldt said the two countries have built "solid and diverse" bilateral ties and acknowledged that Jordan plays a major stabilizing role in the region.

Also on Monday, King Abdullah II of Jordan received the Norwegian minister and discussed regional issues and bilateral relations and ways to bolster cooperation in investment, renewable energy, and climate change, according to a Royal Court statement.

Camille J. Jordan Named Assistant Director for Registered Student Organizations – University of Arkansas Newswire

Camille J. Jordan

The Office of Student Activities is pleased to announce Camille J. Jordan as the assistant director for registered student organizations in the Office of Student Activities.

The Office of Student Activities is pleased to announce Camille J. Jordan as the assistant director for registered student organizations in the Office of Student Activities.

In this position, Jordan will serve as the primary administrator of the RSO program. She will advise the Associated Student Government treasurer and the ASG Office of Financial Affairs Committee for the RSO funding process, providing stewardship and oversight of student-fee funding. She will also serve as primary adviser for SOOIE (Student Organization Outreach and Involvement Experience), a student organization that helps connect students with RSOs and helps RSOs succeed. Jordan will also be the primary coordinator for OSA's annual HillFest and Razorbash welcome fairs.

"I think Camille is going to be a wonderful addition to the Office of Student Activities and the University of Arkansas," said her supervisor, Trisha Blau, associate director for student activities."I think her previous experiences will help her assist our registered student organizations, and the students and advisers that she will be working with. I am excited to see what ideas she has for the RSO area and to see this area of OSA to continue to grow and serve our students in the best way possible."

Jordan is an Arkansas native who returns to serve her home state after gaining experience as a residence hall director at St. Cloud State University and residence life coordinator for student development at Indiana University. She holds a master's degree in college student personnel from Arkansas Tech University.

"I am excited to once again be in service to my home state," Jordan said. "I am a native Arkansan through and through, and there is no time like immediately to help our students grow and shine. The Office of Student Activities professional and graduate staff have been amazing in this transition;I cannot thank them enough. The University of Arkansas has an enchanting atmosphere. From the traditions to the athletic fanbases, you could not ask for a better institution."

Jordan's goals for her position include breaking down barriers for students and campus partners to understand the Office of Student Activities and the registered student organization funding processes. "The Office of Student Activities has traditionally been a hub for student creativity and growth," she said. "I want to continue to foster that learning culture and winning culture. We win when our students enjoy their collegiate experience and take advantage of what we have to offer. We win when we get the community involved. There is so much to look forward to."

"I am excited for Camille to join the Office of Student Activities," OSA Director Mary Skinner said. "Camille has the energy and drive to take the registered student organization program to the next level.

Plenty of experience back on the court for the Jordan netters – SW News Media

The Jordan girls tennis team has some returning talent that should help it be a factor in the Wright County East Conference and in Section 2AA.

The Jaguars have 10 returning letter winners from last years squad that finished 11-8 overall (2-2 in league play). However, Jordan will have to find a new No. 1 singles player.

Gone is Emily Randolph and her 111-career wins. She was a six-year varsity player and will be tough to replace, but Jaguars coach Jill Bailey feels confident her team can compete with the experience she has back.

As a team we would like to have an overall .500 or better record, Bailey said. In the conference, Delano will likely be the favorite, but we have the ability to be competitive with all Wright County teams.

In section play, our goal is to advance to the final four of our subsection, Bailey added.

Section 2AA, which includes Minnetonka, the defending Class AA state champion, is very strong. Eden Prairie is also a strong team, along with Shakopee and Prior Lake.

Chaska, Chanhassen, Hutchinson, Glencoe-Silver Lake, Mankato West, Mankato East/Loyola, Marshall, Mound Westonka, New Prague, New Ulm, St. Peter, Waconia and Worthington are also in the field.

Jordans returning players include seniors Cora Wulf, Dyllan Wellhausen, Jenna Elsenpeter and Cailin Friary, juniors Martha Reveland, Evy Menden, Jade Thach, Maddie Olinger and Mak Haugen and sophomore Riley Steinhaus.

Ninth-grader Naomi Salzwedel, sophomore Taylor Theis and junior Natalie Tieben will also vie for varsity playing time.

The team is eager, athletic and competitive, Bailey said. There are many players who have the ability to play singles and doubles. When they listen and do what we ask, they have the ability to improve fast.

Jordan has opened the season winning three of its first five matches, including a 4-3 win over Farmington in the Waseca Triangular Aug. 26. The Jaguars lost 4-3 to the host Bluejays.

Jordan won two of three matches in a quadrangular competition at Glencoe-Silver Lake Aug. 20, beating both the host Panthers and Marshall by a 5-2 score. The loss was 5-2 to Minneapolis Washburn.

The Jaguars also competed in the New Prague Invitational Aug. 27, finishing second out of eight teams with 26 points. Lakeville South won the title (40).

New Prague ended up third (18.5), followed by Apple Valley and Minneapolis Roosevelt (14), Glencoe-Silver Lake (12.5), United South Central (11) and Roseau (10.5).

Jordan ends the regular season on the road Sept. 29 at Prior Lake. The Section 2AA team tournament will start Oct. 3 with the title match Oct. 11 at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter.

Where To Buy The Bephies Beauty Supply x Air Jordan 7 We vs. I – Sneaker News

To the uniformed, the Bephies Beauty Supply x Air Jordan 7 We vs. I collaboration may seem entirely random, but it makes more sense when considering that the shops founder, Beth Gibbs, is wife to UNION LOS ANGELES frontman, Chris Gibbs.

At quick glance, the joint-effort departs from whats traditionally been seen on Michael Jordans seventh signature model, but commemorates Tinker Hatfields original design in the process. Released in 1992, the 30-year-old creation drew inspiration from the Nike Air Huarache, a model Hatfield designed a year prior. Bephies collaboration doubles down on this aspect of the NBA title-winning shoe, adding an ankle clip atop the standard pull tab at the spine. Neoprene booties are accompanied by a trail-inspired mesh that gives the Jordan 7 added height. A mix of Sanddrift and Turf Orange hues take over the We vs. I retro, which explores the shop owners own personal interests and experiences as well as her Caribbean roots. Much of the accompanying apparel also touches on several of the same design cues as the sneakers, creating cohesion between clothes and footwear.

Enjoy campaign imagery of the pair ahead, courtesy of UNION TOKYO, and find the shoes arriving via Bephies Beauty Supply website on August 25th.

UPDATE August 23rd, 2022:UNION LOS ANGELES has unveiled a second colorway of the Bephies Beauty Supply x Air Jordan 7. The alternate retro favors shades of green and blue.

Jordan Spieth swears he will improve on one key part of his game next season – GolfDigest.com

ATLANTA If youre a Jordan Spieth fanand there are a lot of youthe following will be music to your ears.

Going into next year, I should putt a lot better, Spieth told Golf Digest on Saturday after finishing his third-round 69 at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club. I found some key stuff to work on in the offseason, and then continue to get better in the full swing as well.

Spieth, tied for 20th when the round was suspended by weather, is one Tour Championship round away from finishing a season he marks seven out of 10. There was a victory at the RBC Heritage at the iconic Harbour Town Golf Linkshis 13th on the PGA Tourand runners-up at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am and the AT&T Byron Nelson. He cracked back into the top 10 on the World Ranking after the Heritage win and now sits at No. 13. There were three other top-10 results coming into the season-ending Tour Championship.

Probably like a 7.5, Spieth said when asked to grade his 2021-22 campaign. I wish I was more consistent this year. I struck the ball better than last year and felt I putted better, too. I just felt like I couldn't really get anything to go in this year. Kind of one of those years.

The majors held considerable weight in the 29-year-olds self-assessment. Spieths best showing was a T-8 at the Open Championship at St. Andrews, but there was a missed cut at the Masters and only top-40 results at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open.

I normally judge it off majors, and this was my worst majors season by far, the three-time major winner said. It was just weird. I felt everything was in place, but I just didn't score well.

But Spieth is upbeat about next season, particularly because he feels confident of turning around his putting performance from his current rank of 153rd in strokes gained/putting. The former World No. 1 has turned around lackluster putting years before, like in 2018-19, when he was second in putting after ranking 123rd the season prior.

Spieth said the key was discovering a couple of inconsistencies within the early part of the putting processsome technical and some fundamentals.

Yeah, a bit [technical] but really a lot of set-up stuff and the start of the stroke; for a while I was having to save it a bit and now I feel a lot better, Spieth said. I got really off in 2018, finished [123rd] in putting, was in top five the next year. But this [year] was different than the '18 year. I felt way more comfortable felt my stroke was a lot cleaner. Some tournaments, you get the ball going in from the beginning and I didnt seem to get many of those.

With another chance to complete the career grand slam at the PGA Championship (the only major he hasnt won) and a Ryder Cup in Europe, there are plenty of golf fans who want to see Spieth putt well in 2023.

‘The Bachelorette 2022’: Fans call for Jordan V to be the next ‘Bachelor’, say he’s a ‘genuine man’ – MEAWW

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA: With Season 19 of 'The Bachelorette' coming to a close, it looks like it's finally time for Rachel and Gabby to follow their heart in the hope of finding their happily ever after. But before the final rose ceremony and possible engagement, the cast got candid during the 'Men Tell-All'.

During the 'Tell-All', the men spoke about all the drama that went down on their season -- from Logan switching sides to Jacob's comments about Gabby and Nate's cheating allegations. And of course, there was Rachel, who had to face Tyler and Jordan V, who she both left broken-hearted.

When it came to Jordan V, fans didn't know what to make his elimination, seeing that on paper, he and Rachel were the perfect match. With Jordan V being a race car driver and Rachel being a pilot, the pair connected over their careers and were off to a splendid first date. However, midway, Rachel insisted there was no potential for a future and asked him to leave. Now, coming back on the show, Jordan V handled the whole situation rather well, telling Rachel that he understood where she came from and was glad to have been a part of her journey regardless. Fans couldn't help but swoon over him all over again. "Me listening to Jordan V still be the genuine man we all loved months after Rachel dumped him#TheBachelorette" tweeted a fan. "I still think Rachel should have kept Jordaneven more so tonight during the Men Tell All #thebachelorette" added another. "Jordan V is arguably the hottest dude this season what a missed opportunity to have sent him home right away #thebachelorette" said a fan. "Jordan V you sweet angel boy Im single and would never do you like that #thebachelorette" said a fan.

Jordan Dingle Making Big Impression in Fall Camp – UKAthletics

As college football teams around the country start to wrap up fall camp, many of them have something in common. In a number of locations around the country, there are players who are creating quite a bit of buzz despite having little, or no, past production on the field.

Its a player, or players, who the fan base remembers during the recruiting process. Its a player with a ton of potential that fans hope will pan out, and who has been the talk of August.

At Kentucky, that player so far this fall has been tight end Jordan Dingle. Despite having played in only four games in his career, Dingle appears to have a real shot at being the starting tight end when the Cats open the season on Sept. 3 against Miami (Ohio).

Dingle, a Bowling Green native, was a four-star recruit coming out of high school, is creating a lot of discussion with his play this fall.

Hes a guy who can do it all, said UK tight ends coach Vince Marrow. Hes a smart kid. Hes just a very knowledgeable kid and hes very talented. I think people are starting to see what everybody else was seeing.

Marrow has seen the potential in Dingle since he was recruiting him out of high school.

Jordan was a talented player coming out of high school in Bowling Green, Marrow said. We could have played him last year. The games he played in, the four, he actually played pretty good.

What has Marrow seen from Dingle this fall?

Hes made some big plays, Marrow said. Hes a kid that works hard. He was a very highly-recruited kid as a tight end.

Marrow likes the versatility that Dingle provides to the UK attack.

How I want to describe Jordan is, hes a Swiss Army knife, Marrow said. He can do it all. But hes also a guy who is very physical. People talk about his catches but he blocked very physical in the scrimmage. Thats the part that gets me, that hes an all-around guy. To play for me, youve got to be an all-around guy.

When asked about Dingle, UK offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, who coached Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle with the San Francisco 49ers last season, would not identify Dingle by name. But he did approve of the job that his tight ends room is doing.

Competition brings out the best, especially when youve got the character that they have, Scangarello said. Theyre grinding, theyre improving, Ive seen them get better, theyre smart and this offense is built for guys like that.

Scangarello thinks the group has progressed nicely in fall camp.

Theyve got a good mix of skill and physicality and smarts, Scangarello said. I think that they are going to be a big part of our successes here. Im excited for where theyre at.

The tight end is sure to have a big role in the UK offense this fall. And Dingle appears to have put himself in position for playing time with his performance this fall.

Michael Jordan and Shaquille ONeals $35 million teammate believes MJ’s 6-0 wouldnt have happened if… – The Sportsrush

Former Michael Jordan teammate believes the 1996 Playoffs would have panned out different if he was available for Shaq and Penny.

Horace Grant, the $35 million worth Bulls legend, much like Robert Horry and Steve Kerr is one of the luckiest players to ever play the game of basketball.

No doubt 6ft 10 power forward must have done all the hard work to be selected as the no.10 pick of the 1987 Draft that also gave us David Robinson, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller (11th pick) and a few more legends of the game.

But to land with Pippen in the Chicago Bulls team that had already drafted a juggernaut 3 years back was just pure bliss for the Clemson forward. The 1994 All-Star went on to be an important piece for Michael Jordan and Co. in their 3-peat from 1991 to 1993.

After Jordans premature retirement in 93 and not getting a good contract, Grant left the Bulls as a free agent to join the Orlando Magic, who had drafted a 7-foot-1 phenomenal athlete just a year ago, who clearly had the potential to do things which had never been done before.

With Shaquille ONeal at five, Horace at four, and rookie Anfernee Hardaway at the guard position, Magic formed a team solid enough in the East without Jordan for the upcoming seasons.

And Grant remembers it as clear as a day when he and his group went on to defeat the Bulls in the 1995 Playoffs even when MJ had made a comeback but was still in Baseball Shape. He averaged 13.7p/10.4r/1.9a/1.0s/1.1b per game in those Playoffs but upped it with 18.0 points and 11.0 rebounds in 6 games against his former team.

The 4x NBA champ talked about it with The Ringers Bill Simmons back in the day and remembered how it could have panned out in the 1996 Playoffs if he didnt get injured in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals when they faced the Bulls again.

Clearly, Grant believes he and the Magic had the chance to beat the Bulls but as Simmons said they would have lost anyway because MJ and Co were on a mission that season setting an NBA record 72-10 season.

Also read: Michael Jordan doesnt play Game 7 but LeBron James is the GOAT of Game 7s

Getting swept by that team shouldnt be a cause for any shame as they would also go on to 3-peat once more after that title win. That could have changed if Shaq and Penny didnt have a fallout that season. Who knows how many titles they would have won? Horace thinks, definitely more than two.

Grant got himself another title when he found himself lucky enough once again to be traded to the 2000 NBA champs, the Los Angeles Lakers, join ONeal for the second time and finally win a title with him.

Only one receiver in America might be better than Jordan Addison – Trojans Wire

Jordan Addison won the Biletnikoff Award last year as the nations best wide receiver, but lets keep in mind that had USCs Drake London not gotten injured, the Trojan star would have won the award. Therefore, one can quite reasonably say that Addison was the No. 2 receiver in the nation last year.

That status being the second-best receiver in the nation has not changed in the eyes of one USA TODAY analyst.

Patrick Conn, who has helped Trojans Wire with occasional articles such as this one on Caleb Williams, and who does a ton of national college football research for all the College Wire sites, has released his list of the top 10 receivers in the Football Bowl Subdivision for 2022.

Jordan Addison is second on the list.

Whos first? Its the man who collected an astounding 347 receiving yards in one game last season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba of Ohio State was a one-man wrecking crew against a depleted, undermanned Utah secondary in the 2022 Rose Bowl. Smith-Njigba took full advantage not only of the attrition on the Utes roster, but of the fact that two Ohio State NFL prospects, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, skipped the Rose Bowl to prepare for the combine and the draft. Its hard to deny Smith-Njigbas place at No. 1, but Jordan Addison will certainly make a run at the top spot.

Heres Patrick Conn on Addison:

Addison walked away with the Biletnikoff Award given to the top WR in college football. This year he will be in a new offense and with a new quarterback. Addison should thrive once again in the Lincoln Riley offense.
