I thought for sure this was just a bad headline, but no, the article makes the same mistake. Maybe someone can find a better source, this is still a good story.

It's interesting seeing reactions to this. My first take was "of course he appointed Dana White, he's a big MMA dork now." The connection to Trump didn't occur to me til later.

There used to be a Twitter AppleTV app and I recently saw an X app for TV platforms has been brought back, but I don’t know if the AppleTV version is out yet. Of course I’d rather they just stream to YouTube in 4K.
