Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka is returning to the PGA Tour as part of a new Returning Member Program, which would also allow three of LIV Golf's other top stars to come back if they want.
Koepka is expected to make his return in the Farmers Insurance Open. spr.ly/6019Can8S

Squabble up video.... What is @kendricklamar trying to say... I see "Drakes" name in the unscrambled letters. Again, with this cryptic shit #help #puzzle @JoeBuddenPod @Akademiks

@FluentInFinance No. I’ve learned the wealthy are GOATs when it comes to money. They will find or make the loophole to transfer that burden to the less wealthy. I appreciate the effort. I understand the idea. It wont work. It never does.

@RealGregHarden is there a way to access the bonus material for chapter 6 “purpose - 4As” for Audible customers?
Currently listening with my son who is a young athlete and we paused after 6 to complete the worksheet but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

@PartyAt901Bar San Fran has to be one of the worst cities in America. Look at the streets. Now this is the 2nd fight I’ve seen at the same game🤣

Chess failing to appeal to the masses is a feature, not a bug.
It's a game that requires sustained effort and mental focus - qualities in secular decline. Chess is probably never going to be truly mainstream.
It feels tacky to make big changes to the game to cater to an increasingly fickle public. However, we obviously want to actively encourage new players, and there are tons of thoughtful people out there who will appreciate chess if they're exposed to the game's beauty, just as we once were. There's a tricky balance here.
Personally, I'm extremely happy and optimistic about chess's current trajectory! It has experienced multiple surges of interest since 2020, which have created tons of new adherents. Even if 99% of people who began playing chess because of The Queen's Gambit quit playing after a few months, that 1% who have continued is HUGE! These are "sticky" players who will likely appreciate and play the game for life. Chess pairs perfectly with the internet (impressive for a 1,500+ year old game), and the game is only growing stronger through robust online visibility. We can scoff about drive-by interest in the game generated by social phenomenons and cheating scandals, but these booms undeniably yield lifelong enthusiasts.
I don't think there is anything "wrong" with keeping classical time controls in traditional, over-the-board competitive tournaments, just like I don't think it's "wrong" to embrace light-hearted events like Pogchamps. These should both be encouraged, because options that appeal to different levels of interest and showcase the complexity of chess are a net positive for the game. In fact, the only elements I'm critical of in chess right now are organizations like FIDE, which I view as chronically behind the times with chess's social zeitgeist. There's obvious fumbling going on there, yet chess is thriving in spite of it.
This is a post to say that I think chess *is* modernizing wonderfully. I'm bullish on our growing community welcoming new players while maintaining its beautiful tradition! 👍

@soult @BledSlovenia Saw a couple things about bad weather. Your pics don’t seem to match what I’m hearing. Planning to go there soon.
Thanks!

@BledSlovenia And here are some shots from today's actual hike, once I'd finished posing outside supermarkets 😄 #Slovenia

Who's ready for #MercatoroftheDay? Today's supermarket is the main #KranjskaGora branch in the centre of the town in Borovška cesta. With temperatures approaching 30 degrees, it's been doing a roaring trade today in sladoled (ice cream) and hladne pijače (cold drinks)! 🍦

@andrewchen @andrewchen while you’re at it “make a grocery list based on the meals you just listed”

@andrewchen Meal planning.
“Make me a 7 day meal plan (5-6 meals per day) with the following macros: <insert macro values>”

@FritzThatzIt I’d take it a step further. Frank Vogel could have turned water into wine but there was nothing he could have done but people didn’t realize…
the team was not very good last season.
