@scottmaples1437 @_FlipMan @dbasch Won’t pay the 500 but will pay the 200. Seems like the schmucks in govt figured out the perfect amount

@_FlipMan @dbasch If you are willing to pay that much for a room you’ll pay the extra 5 hundo. You’ll just bitch on here harder and be a victim

Does $191 seem like a proper amount for the city to help themselves to for allowing me to sleep there for a night?

@tyromper Had this situation at a yanks game last week. I didn’t say anything but I did talk to my two sons and explained how people who swear and yell obnoxiously do it with a goal of people hearing them They lack substance and direction so this is their only way of getting attention

Question for dads (parents) out there: You take your son or daughter to a ball game. They are 8-9 years old. Sitting right in front of you is a group of WILD college aged guys. Swearing constantly, drinking excessively, & creating a bad environment you don't want your kids in. Do you: A: Ask them to cool it a bit with the language. B: Leave & go home. C: Stay & it is what it is. D: Other. Tell me. *Theres no open seats to move to. Give me your reasoning. 🙏

@JNicholsonnn @LouStagner It’s one of the more useful drills i learned from the @VISION54 lessons I took. It’s immensely helpful, especially for amateurs.

@LouStagner He’s working on very specific aspects of his swing, tho. He likely doesn’t struggle with simply hitting a ball in a somewhat repeatable manner. Most amateurs will likely benefit more from the repeated trial/error and feedback that comes with smacking a zillion balls per second.

I was watching a very elite D1 player practice. He had a station setup so he could work on head position. He would setup to a ball at the station, and then do five VERY SLOW motion swings, stopping at impact. I mean incredibly slow motion. Each swing took 10+ seconds. After 5 slow motion swings at the station, he would back away from the station and hit a ball at 90% speed. He would then start over. He spent 20 minutes doing this. Maybe hit 15 total balls at the most. There is a lesson to be learned here for the rest of us amateur golfers.

@DKThomp @RushDoshi I got very excited when Derek said “In plain English, as they say” Reminded me of this family guy clip: youtu.be/F8mYLi3PGOc?si…

New pod: IS THIS THE CHINESE CENTURY? That's the question I asked China experts @RushDoshi and Kurt Campbell on today's show. Their answers stunned me. "The Chinese cannot believe what we are doing," Campbell said. Trump's assault of American science and global alliances is like a fantasy dream for Chinese imperialism. Things that Beijing could only dream about over a 10-year horizon—like the decline of America's reputation as the top destination for global talent, and our lead in science—we are set on destroying in a matter of weeks. Meanwhile, as Doshi points out, China is dominating the manufacture of may of the world's most important materials and products: - In a world built of cement and steel, China makes 20 times more cement and 13 times more steel than the U.S. - In a world whose future will be full of electric vehicles, batteries, drones, and solar power, China makes two-thirds of the world’s EVs, three-quarters of its electric batteries, 80 percent of consumer drones, and 90 percent of solar panels. - In a world where wars are won by the largest militaries, China’s navy is on pace to be 50% larger than the US by the end of the decade. I'm a huge patriot. America is richer, and freer, than China. We have many advantages. But only if we actually choose to take advantage of them. I think the last 100 days have profoundly increased the odds that we are currently in one of those once-in-a-century handoffs between global powers. open.spotify.com/episode/3YB8i6…

@awealthofcs Condolences, Ben. I know sharing your brothers story was cathartic for you, but just know it also provided a lot for us as listeners. I loved the lessons, the stories - I feel like I definitely would’ve asked for a Super Nintendo instead of a family trip. Wishing u the best

PSA FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS: The Goldilocks zone for parenting is when your kids are 5 - 12 years old. This is the age of childlike wonder. This is when you must do your most epic trips, have blow out birthday parties, Disneyland, go all-in on holiday traditions and be INTENT on creating AMAZING core memories. Age 0 - 5 is sleep deprivation, scheduled nap times and survival. Little kids are amazing! But they won’t remember much of anything you do with them during these years. Age 13+ your kids are focused on friends and their own interests. You still have them, they are just no longer kids. The young childlike wonder is traded in for self-determination. Ages 5 - 12….do whatever it takes to make the most of this life season.

@barstoolsports Some good football/the bachelor crossover

@br_ttany Red Bank area in NJ, it’s amazing and an easy ferry into the city.

Settle a debate. If you love NYC, but don't want to live there with two little kids, where in the world would you move to? Looking to get culture + walkability + diversity + energy but more habitable for children (parks, schooling, museums, etc).

@davidmarcus I don’t disagree with any of the criticisms of the Dem but feel like youre letting the republican side off the hook. I thought a better close would be “and the other side sucks ass too but in my eyes, less”

I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump. Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I finally broke free from it. My journey has been a gradual political 180 from where I stood in every previous election. It has been an eye-opening process of disenchantment, zero-basing lifelong beliefs, and rebuilding from there. In 2017, a good friend enlisted me to pitch the DNC to raise $100M from Silicon Valley founders and executives. The aim was to use these funds and know-how to build a CRM and tech platform to prevent a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s inadequate, outdated 2016 campaign. We met with DNC leadership, who told us we could raise that money, but it would have to go to the general fund; a single-digit percentage would then be allocated to tech. In the wake of one of their most shocking failures, they didn’t want the help. The next series of realizations began in 2019 while I was at Meta, right after we announced the Libra white paper. I testified before the Senate and the House and subsequently spent significant time in DC, engaging with lawmakers, cabinet members, regulators, and two White House administrations. At the time, I still believed the mainstream idea that Democrats were all about serving the People. However, I was shocked to learn that, for the most part, Republicans cared more deeply about their constituents, while Democrats, in my experience, cared more about government power and control. This is my observation on balance, with many stories to back it up. I also found that more Republicans wanted to understand our project’s goals and took the time to learn about the risks of censoring payments and controlling the network. I found myself remarkably aligned with them. Then COVID came, revealing more. While I don’t subscribe to the most malicious vaccine conspiracy theories, I do take offense at the censorship machine put in place to hide the origin of the virus from the NIH-funded Wuhan lab and all dissenting voices on vaccinations and lockdowns. At that time, I fully appreciated why Republicans value freedom of speech and preventing censorship. This trend of spinning and manufacturing a parallel reality to serve the Dem agenda, solidified by complicit mainstream media, hit home with the Hunter Biden laptop story, the coordinated vilification of President Trump and his followers, and President Biden’s cognitive decline — depriving voters of a voice in a proper primary. These examples displayed the hubris of the current Dem leadership. You must think the American people are fools to believe the spin on these issues. I despise this elite vs. general population ideology viscerally. This version of the Democratic Party is sidelining moderates and centrists and has adopted an increasingly leftist ideology. This drift to the left has dictated policies from which I’ve found myself estranged. On the domestic front, there has been a total departure from the core American value system of meritocracy, an extreme and weaponized DEI agenda, an open door to massive illegal immigration, and a once-fringe narrative, now mainstream within the party, of vilifying success. This shift is also causing us to fall behind due to an anti-innovation regulatory climate, notably on crypto and soon AI — two non-linear technological breakthroughs that will likely determine tomorrow’s leading countries. On foreign policy, the administration is exacerbating tensions with Russia through an aggressive NATO expansion narrative focused on Ukraine and prolonging an unwinnable war. This is costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, the world hundreds of thousands of lives, depleting the U.S. military arsenal and risking World War III. On Iran, this administration is continuing a misguided Obama-era plan to bring Iran closer to the West by unfreezing Trump-era sanctions, thus giving the Mollahs’ regime the ability to fund terrorism and pursue its anti-America, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish agenda. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was also handled disastrously. We’re leaving a door open for China to invade Taiwan by coming across as weak. Most importantly to me, concerning Israel, the administration is enabling Iran to fund Hamas and Hezbollah, restraining Israel in its fight against its enemies, thus prolonging another conflict, which is costing more lives on both sides and allowing unprecedented levels of antisemitism to rise at home. I believe we need a President who is unequivocally pro: America, the Constitution, business, Bitcoin/crypto, innovation, Israel, small government, legal immigration, free speech, meritocracy, and common sense — and anti: regulatory proliferation, illegal immigration, unjust wars, Iran’s current regime, and domestic groups that oppose American values. These issues are central to President Trump’s platform. Naturally, I disagree with President Trump and the GOP on some issues, particularly women’s reproductive rights. While I’ve come to learn that extreme views exist in both parties, I firmly believe that women should have the unalienable right to make their own decisions on this polarizing topic. President Trump confirmed he was against a national abortion ban and supported the Supreme Court’s decision on maintaining access to mifepristone, which was reassuring and a sign that the party was moving closer to the center. It’s impossible to close this post without mentioning President Trump’s recent assassination attempt. The courage and resolve he displayed seconds after being hit by a bullet was awe-inspiring for his followers and detractors alike. This was a man, however imperfect, who, at that moment, incarnated the American spirit in the most vivid way, starting to bring a split nation together. Some claim that reelecting President Trump will bring our democracy to its knees. However, the alternative — having unelected individuals with this much power and no accountability run our government coupled with four more years of bad policies at home and abroad — might present a more significant threat. Neither will likely change in a Harris administration and could potentially worsen. In this pivotal moment, confronted with the choices we have, I am endorsing and supporting a return to a Republican administration in 2025.

@CalltoActivism Amazing. I did have to watch it twice because I got distracted by the collar gap. Your fault @dieworkwear 😅

MUST-WATCH: This moving speech by Senator Raphael Warnock at the Harris campaign rally in Altanta, Georgia, will be remembered and watched for generations to come. Just wow.

this was so unintentionally funny. favorite moment of the season so far #thebachelorette

@WSJ decided to troll people this evening, huh?

@ringer @DKThomp @glukianoff This line really nails it. “If the cost of any ideology is that it makes its adherence depressed, that is a pretty serious side effect worth listing on the box” The lack of hope many people live with, despite life being considerably better for most Americans is telling
