I like sound. Neither spiritual nor religious. Music, baseball, bicycle, guitar. Unimpressed by guns or flags. E Pluribus Unum. #DenaturalizeMurdoch #resist

@EricBoehlert He needs to be impeached again and removed on Nov 4 to avoid the vandalism he’ll commit during the lame duck period.

@McFaul Universities in Iran have increasingly become pipelines for missile engineers, nuclear scientists, and tech specialists, many of whom end up working across a wide range of state-linked projects, from missile and nuclear programs to internet control and censorship systems.

The real baseball fans don’t need a caption. They just need the image. Name the one photo that proves you’re one of them. I’ll wait.

@jaynitx It’s refreshing to hear someone give a thoughtful answer instead of opting for clichés.

Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination" An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?" Kobe responds: "I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you." The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?" Kobe responds: "What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination." He explains with an analogy: "Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist." The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?" Kobe: "No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again." He concludes: "I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."

@Photomusicrock I’d far and away prefer a standard off-the-shelf Strat than that thing. Although some of the proceeds for this go to a good cause, so I can’t knock it.

Josh Duhamel questions actors who speak out on politics: "If you really want to be successful in this business, why would you make half of your audience despise you by your beliefs?" “I have real strong opinions about things but I don’t really talk about it because it’s like, ‘Why would I alienate half my audience?’ Because I respect their views on things but I’m not going to preach to them," Duhamel told Megyn Kelly. "If you really want to be successful in this business, why would you make half of your audience despise you by your beliefs? Maybe they don’t care. I don’t know. I mean, I look at it as a business decision, you know? I’m here just to make cool movies, cool TV. I’m here to make cool stuff. I’m the court jester, you know? If I want to preach to you about what I believe politically, I will go run for office, which I’m not [going to do].” variety.com/2026/film/news…

@droogs76 @TheChowfather @BBGreatMoments He won two. I don’t think that’s why though. I think it’s because Puckett’s injury was an off-the-field medical issue that abruptly ended his career, rather than baseball-related injuries and a gradual decline.
