I remind myself daily

@ThrillaRilla369 A lot. I paid attention. But we didn’t call it gender dysphoria.

If you went to school in the 70s/80s/90s, how many kids did you know with gender dysphoria?

@Melmis @evolnemesis @ennui365 I see your point. I just like to troll the trolls

@3anout @evolnemesis @ennui365 I have an MA in history! That doesn’t help with people who post on here! Seriously just stick a smiley face on tweets! I think you are purposely missing the point!

@FixingEducation Realizing that people’s emotions are caused by something outside of my control and not wearing them any longer.

Educators…name something that has massively improved your mental health.

@krassenstein Was it Fra-gee-lay?

BREAKING: Trump claims that Iran gave him a present: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is but it was a very significant prize and they gave it to us.” WTF!

1st Field Note Dropping This Friday 27th 🤟🏼🔥 After 20 years on the gym floor, you start to see what actually holds up - and what breaks people. Most of it's simpler than we make it. Field Notes is where I share what's working. Comment GO and I'll send you the first one.

@NickCChelseaFC @SpencerHakimian What, are you 12?

@3anout @SpencerHakimian I know it stings. Maybe rub some dirt on it lol

🚨BREAKING: PETE HEGSETH IS UNDER ENORMOUS PRESSURE TO RESIGN AS THE US IS LOSING THE IRAN WAR

@NickCChelseaFC @SpencerHakimian Oooooh. Middle school burn!

@3anout @SpencerHakimian Yea, like insanity

@NickCChelseaFC @SpencerHakimian It appears as though much is beyond you.

@SpencerHakimian How anyone could come to the conclusion that we're losing a war that destroyed our enemy's air force, navy, air defenses, and the majority of their missiles stockpiles, drone stockpiles and their associated launchers in 3 weeks so far is beyond me.

@shanaka86 @LarrySabato

BREAKING. Thirty-six hours ago President Donald Trump said “obliterate.” This morning he said “productive conversations.” The question every trader, diplomat, and general is asking: what broke between Saturday night and Monday morning? Six things broke simultaneously. Not one of them was Iranian. First. The bill arrived. The Pentagon requested over $200 billion in supplemental funding. The war cost $11.3 billion in six days, $16.5 billion in twelve. At $1.38 billion per day and accelerating, congressional resistance to the supplemental is real. The money that was supposed to fund “days not weeks” now needs a vote that may not pass. Second. The Fed killed the rate-cut thesis. On March 18, the Federal Reserve held rates at 3.5 to 3.75 percent and revised its 2026 PCE inflation forecast to 2.7 percent from 2.4, citing the Iran war energy shock. The dot plot shows one cut in all of 2026, down from two. Every basis point of delayed easing is pain for housing, credit, and the Magnificent Seven. The war that was supposed to demonstrate strength is demonstrating inflation. Third. The allies revolted politely. Twenty-two countries signed up to coordinate on Hormuz. Zero committed a warship during combat. Japan is releasing strategic reserves. South Korea’s Kospi has fallen 12 percent. Europe’s gas surged 35 percent after Qatar’s LNG was knocked offline & declared force majeure up to 5 years. Trump called NATO “cowards” and got a press release. The coalition of the willing is a coalition of the waiting. Fourth. TSMC sent the signal. Taiwan imports nearly 97 percent of its energy. Its LNG reserves cover 11 days. Qatar supplies a third of global helium, which TSMC needs for chip fabrication. The helium is bottled behind a closed strait. Every Nvidia GPU, every Apple chip, every AI cluster depends on a fab in Hsinchu counting its gas in single-digit days. The Magnificent Seven have shed hundreds of billions as energy rotation crushes tech. Fifth. Birol named the damage. The IEA chief told Australia this morning that 40 energy assets across nine countries are severely damaged, global oil supply has fallen 11 million barrels per day, the crisis exceeds both 1970s shocks combined, and no country is immune. He named fertilisers and helium as interrupted flows. The man who runs global energy security called the war Trump started the worst energy crisis in modern history. Sixth. The midterms. Gas prices are up 93 cents per gallon. Sixty-six percent of Americans call this a war of choice. Sixty percent disapprove. Fifty-seven percent say it is going badly. The numbers that matter in Washington are not barrels per day. They are approval ratings in swing states where voters fill their tanks every Tuesday. Six pressures. One post. President Trump did not discover diplomacy. He discovered arithmetic. The 48-hour ultimatum was a threat. The 5-day pause is a confession that the threat’s consequences were worse than its target. Destroying power plants would have sealed the strait permanently, triggered Ghalibaf’s promise to “irreversibly destroy” Gulf desalination and energy infrastructure, crashed TSMC’s supply chain, spiked inflation past 3 percent, and handed the midterms to the opposition on a platter of $7 gasoline. The pause is real. The relief is not. The strait is still closed. The 40 assets are still damaged. The fertiliser is still blocked. The planting window is still closing. The five-day clock is already ticking. The molecules do not negotiate. The molecules wait. Full deep dive analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@RALee85 @MalcolmNance Thank god for men like your grandfather. My response to Lindsay: “Those of use who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

My grandfather's rifle company landed on Iwo Jima with 256 Marines and sailors. He was one of 8 from the original 256 who was still with the company when the island was declared secured, despite being wounded twice. His company sustained more KIA in one month on Iwo Jima than any Marine battalion sustained in Iraq or Afghanistan on a single deployment. Marines will always rise to the occasion, but let's hope we never repeat this.

@IDCowboy6 @Arma_Lite_14 You’re an idiot

@Arma_Lite_14 RFK is doing the rights things for our better health

Who else believes that Dr. Fauci was much better than Rfk Jr.?

@RAD_is_awesome I’ll be following his example

The superintendent will be addressing the staff as to the importance of change to keep up with the times while concurrently not making any changes to keep up with the times.

@chriscfore Oorah!

Landed safely in New Orleans, Louisiana, birthplace of my grandfather: The Honorable Melvin Charles Fore, USMC master gunnery sergeant!

@pbasilstrength Framework

Spending more time rewriting programs than actually coaching? New week rolls around. You're staring at a blank spreadsheet. Again. Rebuilding from scratch, switching exercises on a gut feeling, hoping it works out. Your athletes are training hard but the system behind it is duct tape and guesswork. That's not programming. That's treading water. I put together a free 9-step framework that shows you exactly how to build a repeatable training system for your specific population and logistics. Once it's built, you stop recreating the wheel every single cycle. It covers how to identify your athlete avatar, how to design around your actual facility constraints, how to build training blocks that progress automatically, and how to individualize without writing a different program for every athlete. One coach. One system. Any sport. 👉Comment "FRAMEWORK" below and I'll DM it to you. Don't wait - I'm closing access in 24 hours.

@NMSteveC @Ravenaki1 @highbrow_nobrow Please name them and cite your sources

@Ravenaki1 @highbrow_nobrow Much science these days are paid to come out with a result the poster wishes to have. It is not science. It is corruption of science.

RFK Jr. to Tucker Carlson: “We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.” (2025)

@coachdecost1 @CoachPMA I’d like to see it please

I think I have finished my 3-3 stack slides/playbook…anyone want to take a look at it?

@TansuYegen This is a few years old

A box truck just slammed into a car during a high-speed chase in LA, ripping the driver's side door off letting the cops close in 😳

@JamesBrock1350 @chriscfore The $114 million dollar lion

@3anout @chriscfore But that 1 time when the mountain lion got hit........

$100,000,000 for wildlife crossing . . . . California is entirely too dumb for its own good sometimes.
