Resilience is physiological & actionable: Spiking your morning cortisol increase (which is what wakes you up & is healthy) with bright sunlight & exercise, shortens the duration and the amplitude of the cortisol response to afternoon and night time stressors, should they happen.

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

In 2024, the FBI came to my front door to tell me the Iranian regime had put a hit on my life — anytime, anywhere. This week, the man who accepted those orders, on American soil, was sentenced to life in prison in a New York court. Anyone who claims the Iranian regime isn’t a danger to America is ignoring how far its tentacles spread and is willfully ignorant about how far it will go to threaten Americans even in our own country.

Leylah Fernandez dedicates her Washington trophy to her mom, sister, and fitness trainer: “I want to dedicate this trophy to my mom, my oldest sister, and my fitness trainer. You guys have been fighting all year round and still are fighting. Thank you so much for never giving up on me. Don’t give up on yourselves. This trophy is for you guys. Hopefully we can celebrate all together very very soon.” ❤️

Scottie Scheffler on the “unsatisfying venture” that sports can be.

January 14, 1999: #OTD in Reds History, fan favorite Hal Morris returned to Cincy when the @Reds signed him as a free agent. He hit .284 as a reserve for the 1999 team that won 96 & finished the season tied w/@Mets for the NL Wild Card. At 1B, Morris had played for the Reds from 1990-97 before signing with the @Royals as a free agent for the '98 season. #RedsMuseumArchives: BP & road jersey from '97.

Dr. Alex Karp came out white-hot at the Reagan National Defense Forum today and it just kept getting better and better. Every time he spoke was a mic-drop moment. Alex Karp is one of the most important people in the entire world.

@WillClark22 @Super70sSports Will Clark and Mark Grace. Best swings in the last 50 years. Honorable mention - Hal Morris.

RIP Pete. The Hit King.

That was one we won't forget for a long time. Job well done.

wait, what? 👍👏💪🏼

I’m hugging my daughters extra hard tonight. I feel deeply sad, despondent & numb. As if this election wasn’t hard enough. The rhetoric & vitriol in our public debate has become terrifying. Our statements of condemnation and our prayers are destined to come up short again. Let’s be kinder to each other. Let’s show compassion for others & respect for those we disagree with. And let’s make sure political violence has NO place in our society, ever. I pray for our nation tonight. I pray for our future tonight. 🇺🇸
