@Schwarzenegger Appreciate your candid words and sharing your perspective. Wish I could vote too already.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

@orf wäre schön wenn ich all die schönen Sendungen aus der Heimat auch als Auslandsösterreicher ansehen könnte. In der TVThek/ORFOn sind immer weniger Sendungen verfügbar. So viele Sendungen die wir oft gestreamt haben sind nun nicht mehre verfügbar. #Auslandsösterreicher

@TMobileHelp I have two accounts on 2 different numbers from the same plan. How can I merge the two accounts?

@ibuildthecloud Try this theoldnet.com

I miss yahoo directory. And web rings. The internet used to be so much fun. Now I really don’t know how to “browse” the web. You can’t really casually explore anymore. You don’t deeply follow paths of links. Everything leads back to the same 10ish sites.

@Schwarzenegger Love this episode. Thank you for creating and feeding the village with your guidance. I love the de-vegetablize portion it is so important because a little bit of discomfort makes for a lot of growth.

Today I talked about how all of us - no matter what age - need to embrace discomfort. Read it now and let me know how you will de-vegetablize yourself. arnoldspumpclub.schwarzenegger.com/p/surprising-d…

@luca_cloud Your life.

What do you think is the most important Open Source project out there?

@Schwarzenegger just received my signed copy last night. Fantastic book. Could not wait for the signed copy so got another one at a local bookstore on day 2 and read it. Thanks for sharing your journey and wisdom.

@SawyerMerritt Hopefully at some point they get reaching the quality bar also accelerated

Tesla is currently delivering 1 million vehicles every ~27 weeks. That's an average of one car every 16 seconds. Let that sink in.

@unixterminal I love to dig up my old Sony portable tv and 2600. never find stuff like that at flea market s near us though

@unixterminal Did you get them all?

Flea market finds

@Schwarzenegger Been to Venice beach this weekend. Finally made it. Got a short workout in at the beach as well. Lots of walking and great food.

Let me know what you are doing to get moving this weekend so you can inspire each other in the comments. Join the village: arnoldspumpclub.com

Get outside and get moving for fun this weekend. I always tell our village to play soccer, go on hikes, swim with their kids or do anything fun to remind them that we aren’t just training to get better in the gym. We are training to get better and have more fun in life.

@countrycloudboy @Microsoft I’ll take all three for my paperweight collection 🤩

@Schwarzenegger love the pump club because the program is attainable and sustainable for me. In combination with the newsletter, great community and you Arnold, Adam and Daniel keeping us engaged is making the pump club the first program that works for more than a few weeks

Happy 4th of July! I was born in Austria, but I am Made in America. Consider this your reminder: put your phone down, turn off the social media, get outside, BBQ, and spend some time with your friends and family.

@Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger I love this approach. Have been off Social Media for a long time. I just got back to it because of the messaging you spread.

Reminder: if you yell on my social media pages, we will help you remove that negativity from your day.
