For The Last Jedi (2017), Mark Hamill fundamentally disagreed with Rian Johnson’s "jaded" take on Luke Skywalker. He famously told the director, "I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character."

I’m not going to compare Seth Hernandez’ potential to Paul Skenes because that’s unfair, but man how did he fall in last year’s draft? He is one of the greatest pitching prospects I’ve ever seen at his age. 5.0IP 2H 0ER 1BB 8K

Rome didn't conquer the Mediterranean because they were the best fighters. They lost battles constantly. Hannibal humiliated them for 15 years. The Gauls sacked their city. The Parthians annihilated entire armies. So how did a muddy village on a river end up ruling from Scotland to Syria for 500+ years? The answer is one of history's most underrated superpowers: Rome refused to lose. Here's what actually made them unstoppable: 1. They turned defeat into a feature, not a bug. After Cannae, Rome lost 50,000+ men in a single afternoon. Any other state would have sued for peace. The Senate banned the word "peace," refused to ransom prisoners, and raised new legions from teenagers and freed slaves. Hannibal won the battle. Rome won the war by simply not stopping. 2. Citizenship was their secret weapon. Every empire before Rome treated conquered peoples as subjects to be milked. Rome did something insane: they offered citizenship. Beat us? You're now us. A Spaniard, a Gaul, a North African could literally become emperor. By the 2nd century AD, the man wearing the purple was Trajan, born in Spain. 3. They were obsessive copycats. Roman swords? Stolen from the Spanish. Naval tactics? Reverse-engineered from a wrecked Carthaginian ship. Siege engines? Greek. Cavalry? Numidian. Their genius wasn't invention. It was the ego-free willingness to look at an enemy and say "that's better than what we have, take it." 4. Roads weren't for travel. They were for terror. 50,000 miles of paved road meant a legion could appear at your gates faster than rumor of their march. Rebellion in Britain? Troops from the Rhine in weeks. The roads were the original internet, and Rome controlled the servers. 5. They industrialized war. While enemies fielded brave warriors, Rome fielded engineers with swords. Standardized equipment. Standardized camps every single night. Standardized rations. A legionary in Syria fought identically to one in Britain. They weren't an army. They were a system. 6. They were patient in a way moderns can't comprehend. The Punic Wars lasted 118 years. Rome simply outlived its enemies. Carthage had to win every war. Rome only had to win the last one. The lesson buried in all of this: Empires aren't built by the strongest punch. They're built by the side that gets knocked down, stands up, copies what hit them, and keeps walking forward for 700 years. Rome wasn't the best. Rome was the most relentless.

Just finished this. Not going to lie, the last few minutes made me cry. I grew up watching him. Was he a perfect human being? No, he was not. None of us are. Did he make mistakes? Yes, he did. We all do. But I thank him for all the memories and how he made me feel as a kid watching him wrestle. Thank you Hulk Hogan. Gone too soon. Rest in Peace Brother!!!

BEN AFFLECK on why Hollywood is dying. You need a MINIMUM of $25m to make the movie, another $25m to market it — so that's $50m straight off — and then (for showing the film) Theater’s take 50% too. So a $25m movie needs to make $75m just to break even.

Justin Brazeau hopes to help with getting to the crease: "That's a big part of my game. When I'm at my best, I'm around that paint most of the time in the offensive zone. So, I'm not gonna try to do anything crazy. I'm just gonna play my game, what I've done my whole career, and just kind of get there as much as I can."

@MarkMaddenX she paid the bills! I know hockey too, and pay the bills. When you drive 8 total hours, $500 on tickets, $100’s on food and parking you care. Pens owe the home fans over the Capitals fans. You don’t pay anything, or haven’t in a long time, if ever.

Kevin O'Leary says you can become a millionaire on $69,000 a year by investing 20% weekly. Here's the actual math on why he's right. 20% of $69,000 is $13,800 a year. That's $265 a week into the S&P 500. At the historical average return of ~10% annually, $265/week hits $1M in roughly 22 years. Start at 25, you're a millionaire at 47. Start at 30, you're there by 52. Most people think millionaire by 65 is the best case. This math says you can beat it by nearly two decades. The part most people miss: the first $100K takes about 7 years. The second $100K takes 4. The third takes 3. By year 15, you're adding $100K every 18 months. Compounding doesn't feel like anything for the first decade, then it turns into a machine. $265/week sounds impossible on $69K until you realize the median American spends $3,000/year on takeout and $2,500 on subscriptions they forgot they have. The money exists. The discipline is the hard part. Kevin's actual insight here isn't "invest more." It's that the gap between $0 invested and $265/week is the single largest wealth decision most people will ever make. The first dollar is harder than the millionth.
