Most tweets today will be mean comments about the Eagles, who cheated their way to the Super Bowl.
The Eagles have shown exceptional skill at having a soft schedule and injuring Brock Purdy. #FlyEaglesFly
Philadelphia is the city of illegitimate children. #FlyEaglesFly
The original capital of the United States was Philadelphia. Then the founding fathers realized Philly was such a shithole that they moved it to a swamp in the middle of nowhere. That’s how much they hated the Eagles. #FlyEaglesFly
Don’t make fun of Philadelphians. It’s not their fault they are stupid and ugly. #FlyEaglesFly
I don’t know how the Eagles come back from this deficit. They have an excellent passing game but Jalen Hurts can only do so much when he’s facing Patrick Mahomes.
If the Eagles managed to injure Patrick Mahomes and cheat their way to a victory they should be very proud of themselves. #FlyEaglesFly
The Eagles may as well injure Rihanna, just for kicks. Can’t be too careful in cheating your way to victory. #FlyEaglesFly
Did a Philly fan just throw a beer can at Rihanna? Jerks.
Patrick Mahomes just led a touchdown drive for America.
Come on Philly be classy and go for the knees.
Kansas City has decided to challenge whether the ball was in-bounds, which is unusual. For those of you who don't follow football, here's the rule. If KC wins the challenge the Chiefs get two points in what is known as a 'safety.'
A better name for a team representing Philadelphia would be the Alcoholics. #FlyEagelsFly
Hey Philly I don't mean to be judgemental but you really could lose a few. Sorry, sorry, that wasn't cool. But you could. Ok I'm kidding. But am I? Yes. No.
So weird what happens when the Eagles play a good team with an actual quarterback. #FlyEaglesFly
Amusing that Philly fans are upset the game was taken from them after they were handed a schedule where they basically played Detroit 15 times and then for the NFC Championship they played the junior varsity quarterback from Carver High School.
Ok, now that I have some perspective, I'll just say that the Eagles played a great game and they were robbed by a bad call.
Also Philly, we need to talk about your drinking.

Mayor Pete has led a charmed life, but he seems to have picked the wrong cabinet position to assume without qualifications. No one notices the Secretary of Transportation, he must have thought. Except we do. newsweek.com/pete-buttigieg…
Had Pete Buttigieg cracked down on airlines and tried to do the job, he could have used his response to these various crises to build his reputation. Instead he just hopes no one notices he's in charge of our transportation systems.
Joe Biden absolutely adores Pete Buttigieg, but Biden has done Mayor Pete no favors by putting him in this position and then protecting him. And the longer this incompetence goes on the worse for Pete.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is all about "the radical left," the "woke mob," "critical race theory," "latinx," etc.
Joe Biden is like "Ticketmaster sucks."
Biden's superpower is that he doesn't use Twitter.
Honestly I feel bad for my conservative friends. I know a lot of smart right-wingers who understand the deep threat of consolidated market power to conservative values and want to center GOP politics around populism. This Sarah Huckabee Sanders speech is far from that.
The GOP could have taken credit for banning surprise billing and Buy American, and mocked Biden for attempting to purpose what Trump did as his own. Instead Sarah Huckabee Sanders is talking about the woke mob. This stuff is just way too online to resonate.
Wow, there is a remarkable amount of anti-monopoly policy in this speech, both in terms of accomplishments and aspiring goals. Lots of Buy America and industrial policy too. President Biden has really shifted our policy framework. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
"Pass bipartisan legislation to strengthen antitrust enforcement and prevent big online platforms from giving their own products an unfair advantage." - Joe Biden
This is the first State of the Union since 1979 where the President has mentioned antitrust.
Biden to the GOP: "I promised to be the president for all Americans. We’ll fund your projects. And I’ll see you at the ground-breaking."
1. The sheer amount of activity in the Biden competition agencies is remarkable. Today the CFPB issued a policy statement blocking pay-to-play in digital comparison mortgage and finance websites. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…
2. Yesterday the Antitrust Division blocked a merger in the seamless tubing and production casing industry, which are specialized materials used in the oil and gas industry. justice.gov/opa/pr/bentele…
3. And enforcers went after collusion in health care by withdrawing three policy guides allowing information exchange among providers and middlemen. justice.gov/opa/speech/pri…
Meta wins at this stage in a case to buy virtual reality app-making Within. The opinion is still sealed. The next stage is to see whether the FTC will pursue an in-house trial. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Judge Edward Davila issued a sealed order in the Facebook-Within case. Of course immediately sources from Facebook leaked the decision, because big business sees laws and rules as suggestions. That's the problem with judicial thinking. They don't get this.
There's going to be lots of wailing about antitrust enforcers losing. But that's foolish. In 2012, the FTC didn't challenge the Facebook-Instagram merger. So they didn't lose that case. Instead, Facebook monopolized social networking without a challenge? Is that better? No.
How long are people going to pretend that computers, software and the internet are new fancy techno-gizmos? This stuff's been on every single desk since the 1990s.
The opportunity in business software is amazing. We're in the early stages of the transformation of American business.
There's a reason people gasp when they hear that NASA or some area of the military is relying on fortran or floppy disks for some critical system. Digital stuff is *old.* Like, really old. Serious commercial use goes back to the 1950s.
