So the @X @Subscriptions requesting a handle is kind of a scam... I requested one and X is like "Sorry pay us $10,000 a year if you want that handle." Like what?! It hasn't been used since 2013. But apparently it's only available to Full Access Premium Business subscribers...

So I’ve been working on this off and on since 2024… more off than on. I recently went live with it mainly to use to test with my swim team. Turns out a high school in Texas found it via a recommendation from @ChatGPT 😅

Here’s the other design 👀 I asked for a couple of tweaks but I like it
An idea for a @_redshirtsports shirt design. The R would be big and on the back and then the wordmark would be on the front, I’m thinking like where a shirt pocket would be. I was going for that like old school football vibe. What do y’all think?

Crazy how ADs from the CAA, Ivy, NEC, OVC, Patriot, Pioneer, SoCon, Southland, and UAC have a Midwest bias /s

Can anyone at @X specifically with @Subscriptions tell me why a handle request would be denied? There’s no explanation other than denied…

I know no one will probably believe me but I was working on an article of the playoff bracket after Week 7 following the @_redshirtsports Week 7 Poll... I just didn't get to fine tuning it before the committee released their Top 10. But here was my Top 16.

I wonder how close the @_redshirtsports Top 10 will be to what is announced.
🚨 TOP 10 RANKINGS 🚨 The FCS Football Committee will reveal its Top 10 teams today on ESPN2 during CFB Live at 2 PM ET. #FCS

You'll even be able to highlight a voter as well in this view.
More data! So this shows all ballots and where it shows things like outlier picks, and votes for teams that didn't make the Top 25

So the work begins! This is actually using real data from our latest @_redshirtsports FCS Top 25. What's new? - Showing how many ballots included a particular team - Showing previous rank - Showing biggest movers vs the previous week

This view is showing "By voter". I am still playing around with it. But we would now show the voter's "Avg. gap" where gap = spots from consensus.

Note to self... With this new @Subscriptions use Composer 2.5 with @cursor_ai and NOT Grok 4.7 Medium... Way better so far actually implementing things AND more token efficient.

I have to say this is one of the biggest fumbles by the @SpaceXSI / @bot / @cursor_ai / @Subscriptions team. I fell for the hype from folks I respect and signed up for it. I have gotten worse usage than my individual cursor plan even though I was told it would be better.
Unified X Subscription looked like a no-brainer at $200 (X Premium + Grok + Grok Bot + Cursor in one plan). BUT I burned through 50% of Ultra in a day, hit 100% by Day 2, and was locked out for days. Here’s the real Day 0–6 experience.

So I have been using my @Subscriptions for the last like 2 hrs and went from about 5% to 33% (Grok says 33%, @bot says 34%). 1. I deleted pretty much all my previous Bots and started over with Alfred. It created 3 new bots (I have 8 total now)

2. I have been using @cursor_ai with Grok 4.7 Medium to take screenshots and HTML files that Grok Bot gave me and convert them over to Next.js... It has been failing miserably. 3. One of the bots did a complete audit of my website (1,000+ pages) so that used a lot of usage.

4. I did have a bot create some images That's it... That is all 33-34% of usage... 2 ish hours of work.
