@therabbithole Yep! We’ve seen it in our schools for sure. Useless positions soaking up tax money. The county I live in (only ~500k population) has 46(!) school districts Not one Unified. 46 Superintendents (230-300k/yr ea), 46+ Asst. Superintendents, 46+ Secretaries. Easy to reduce by 90%

@USMortality @Alec_Zeck Well.. at least in California, my kids couldn’t enter school without completing the list of vaccines. So we’re kind of stuck until Federal steps in and calls out the BS.

@elonmusk Amazing. Biggest mistake I made for the house was not putting in a Powerwall with my solar!

Congratulations Tesla Powerwall team! These will make a big difference around the world. With a Powerwall, your home or business has guaranteed continuous power during utility blackouts or brownouts. Add solar to your roof and/or nearby ground and you can operate off grid. Add Starlink and you can operate your home with no wires at all!
Tesla Energy@teslaenergy

Congrats to the Tesla Nevada team on building 1000 Powerwalls in a single day

At one point, Matthew McConaughey had his acting career, his family, a foundation, a film production company, and a record company. In 2008, he shut down the production company and the record label. "I was making B’s in 5 things," he said. "I want to make A's in three things." By shutting down the production company and the music label, McConaughey said, "I did start making much better grades, so to speak, in those 3 things." “Alright, alright, alright.” Takeaway 1: “If you seek tranquillity,” the philosopher King Marcus Aurelius wrote, “do less.” And then he points out that doing less "brings a double satisfaction." You get the satisfaction of having fewer things on your to-do list. And you get the satisfaction of doing those fewer things at a higher level. You get "to do less, better." Takeaway 2: Shutting down the production company and the music label, McConaughey said, was hard to do. He liked having a production company and a music label. It reminds me of the legendary Apple designer Jony Ive's definition of focus: “What focus means is saying no to something that you—with every bone in your body—think is a phenomenal idea, and you wake up thinking about it, but you say no to it because you’re focusing on something else.” Focus requires sacrifice. Making A's, so to speak, requires saying no to things you like and want to do because you’re saying yes to things you love and have to do. - - - "You gain more by finding a rich mine and mining it deeper, than by flitting from one shallow mine to another—intensity defeats extensity every time...As Schopenhauer wrote, 'Intellect is a magnitude of intensity, not a magnitude of extensity.'" — Robert Greene Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!

Jerry Seinfeld was once thinking about golf announcers whispering. He then found something in his notebook about how people whisper when they talk about tipping. "Now we make what's called a charm bracelet," Seinfeld says in this 144-second masterclass on the creative process: When you notice a commonality between two or more things, Seinfeld explains, "You say, 'Oh there's something there.' And now we make what's called a charm bracelet: You take these things and you find a way to associate them." "So that's the process: I'm thinking about this [one] thing and then remember this [other] thing, and then you go, 'Oh there's something there—let me connect those 2 things.'" Takeaway 1: Whether it's in a notebook like Seinfeld, on notecards, in Apple Notes or a Notion database—many great artists have a habit of capturing the interesting thoughts or ideas they come across. The comedian George Carlin said his capture habit started because... “I had a boss in radio when I was 18 years old, and my boss told me to write down every idea I get even if I can’t use it at the time...and have a system for filing it away—because a good idea is of no use to you unless you can find it…" A lot of creativity, Carlin said, “is discovery. A lot of things are lying around waiting to be discovered and that’s our job is to just notice them and bring them to life.” That's what Seinfeld did: he noticed the various contexts in which people whisper and brought them to life. Takeaway 2: The great fantasy and science fiction writer Brandon Sanderson says, “The way that human creativity works is by combination. That’s what we’re really good at. We don’t come up with a completely new creature. We put a horn on a horse and go, ‘Look at that, that’s cool.’ That’s how we create on a fundamental level.” - - - “Creativity equals connecting previously unrelated experiences and insights that others don’t see.” — Steve Jobs Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!

You’ve seen the images of Tiger’s chip-in at the 2005 Masters countless times. But you may not know just how that iconic moment came to fruition. CBS Sports Director Steve Milton brings you inside the production the truck during that unforgettable shot.
