@JohnJHarwood Totally contrary to the principles of the life of Jesus. In a nutshell, it is blatantly sacrilegious.

this man endangers America

@JuanBertoldi2 @ianbremmer “Most of the people with proximity to him have sold their moral principles for money, fame, and especially power, AND - most relevant - a chance to be on the profitable side of the oligarchy. They don't see and feel the evil or if they do, they rationalize it.” *The Shallow State

@ianbremmer I really dont envy the people that are working around him

talks going well

@LucianoNocente @ianbremmer @gideonrachman How about a functioning legislative branch? Hyper partisanship has put us at the mercy of this unhinged, wannabe dictator and his team of enablers.

@ianbremmer @gideonrachman This is what happens when you don't have a functioning electoral system. This guy should have been impeached by now.

Ever seen a shortstop throw a runner out from the warning track?

Another great life lesson (and leadership lesson)! Check it out and apply it in your personal and professional life.

Everyone needs to hear this... Michael Caine on his defining philosophy for life: Use the Difficulty As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path. He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the scene. The actor's response: "Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it." This idea became a defining mantra for his life. "There's never anything so bad that you cannot use that difficulty...if you can use it a quarter of one percent to your advantage, you're ahead, you didn't let it get you down." I can't stop thinking about this... How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing? How can you embrace the struggle? How can you find flow through the friction? As with everything in life, control the controllable: The difficulty is already there. You can't control it. But you can control how you react to it. You can control your response to it. You can control your attitude towards it. Lesson: Difficulty is inevitable. Use it.

@Peterson_IsKing I saw this and immediately thought of @JoePisapia17.

Mentally preparing myself for another season of Mets baseball

@NathanWhitaker @DanielPink I love that intellectual humility serves as the "fuel" that drives the continuous pursuit of knowledge required for lifelong learning. Good stuff, Nathan!

Spent 8 days with the Dodgers this month in Arizona, and "intellectual humility," a concept I ran across from @DanielPink, was on my mind the whole time.

@James_Schiano Thanks @James_Schiano!

@rocknrollofall Pat Metheny...last night.

Who's the best guitarist you've seen live?

@stevemagness Kudos to the coach AND player. Respect to both.

Most people are getting this wrong. It's not being coached hard or soft...it's a coach saying the right thing at the right time to get them out of a spiral. And focus them on what matters. When you're in that spiral, your attention scatters. You're replaying mistakes, drifting into the future, losing the moment. Frese disrupted it in two ways. First, she walked directly to Okanawa, locked eyes, and forced her to focus and connect with her in the present. Second, she gave confidence AND agency. "I believe in you...But you've got to want this moment." This isn't my story..." She didn't say, "What are you doing...get your head in the game." Those feed the spiral, giving your brain evidence that it's all going wrong. Akin to telling a nervous person to "just relax." In our lowest moments, we need a signal that someone still sees what we're capable of. And then gives us the agency and challenge to go get it. She scored 7 points in the third quarter after that exchange, added 6 more in the fourth, and finished with a team-high 21. Maryland still lost. But Okananwa showed up. It was a brilliant display of snapping a player out of everything scattering towards catastrophe: "Really what that was, was a regroup moment for myself and her telling me she believed in me. Sometimes that's really all you need to hear." Research backs this up. Psychologists at the University of Amsterdam found that whatever emotional state coaches expressed predicted their players' emotional state and subsequent performance. Angry coaches produced frustrated players who made more errors. Another study of basketball players found that low to moderate anger targeted at a specific problem could improve performance. Raw, undirected intensity made things worse. Targeted intensity that was aimed at something solvable worked. Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko put it this way: "My job is to be calm and collected when they're frantic. My job is to create intensity when they're not intense. My job is to always be opposite the moment." The leader's job is the counterbalance. Frese saw her star's attention drifting when the moment called for focus and controlled fire. So she brought the intensity Okananwa wasn't generating on her own. Most people see the intensity and think that's the important takeaway. It's not. It's just one tool used in a specific moment. Frese said it herself after the game: "You can't have those conversations if you don't have a relationship with them." It's the relationship underneath that gives you the ability to use the right tool at the right time. Sometimes that tool is direct eye contact and I believe in you. Other times, it's taking a calm breath with and a reminder that I value you as a human, not just an athlete. Or, as I had one athlete request one time, "Just cuss me out in the last 400. Tell me it's worth dying for..." Sometimes you pull out the crazy if that disrupts the cycle. Know your athlete. Build the relationship. Then know when to disrupt the cycle and focus them on the work at hand.

@BStulberg @hubermanlab @hubermanlab The schtick is getting a bit old. The time is right to change course a bit and offer some new 'food for thought' that's not connected with a sales pitch.

@hubermanlab Dude I don’t think that’s true. I’ve been in this business for nearly two decades and we’ve been saying exercise is the number one intervention that entire time. I’ve got receipts from articles I wrote over a decade ago saying this.

“Repeated exercise produces robust physiological benefits & is the leading lifestyle intervention for human health.” -Kindel et al, Neuron 2026 = obvious to many now but significant b/c it’s the 1st line of a traditional scientific study. 5 years ago no one would say it.

@JazzMemes I saw him last night in Atlanta. Amazing show, not only by Pat, but his entire band. No question, he's still going very strong.

Name a better jazz guitarist, I’ll wait…

@Ducnghia16 Damn good man!

What are you listening to today?

@CD3Gator #GoGators

Condo said the Gators came in playing Vandy “passive” & after this loss they won’t be playing “complacent” anymore. He genuinely looks displeased. Hopefully the entire team uses this loss for motivation & we get their A-game from now on. #GoGators 🐊🏀
