A heartbreaking interview - a major talent squelched by leftism. But he's fighting back. The Canceled Broadway Actor Bringing Thomas Sowell To The Stage w/Clifto... youtu.be/OZqMnGEYsS4?si… via @YouTube

@cliftonaduncan I know Sowell’s work but know little about the man.

People exhausted by digital derangement and AI slop will seek out in-person experiences again. Perfect time for a one-man stage play about Thomas Sowell, performed by a professional with elite training and 20 years of experience.

@cliftonaduncan Who would play the part?

@PhelpsPrescott @MindofTorres College Board is independent non-profit. They have collaborated with Pearson.

@MindofTorres Which is now owned by Pearson Education. Which made their money from the program No Child Left Behind.

"The College Board, the agency in charge of the AP program, admits its questions are easier and passing scores have been lowered on key tests like the English Language exam." educationnext.org/dumbing-down-o…

@misery_xyzz @IJaSport It takes tremendous musculature to do this. Try sprinting a couple blocks with your center of gravity 2" lower.

@rtinfow @IJaSport This take is brilliant, I’m sold.

One of the biggest misconceptions that needs to change in the coaching world is..."Head up when you're dribbling." This simply is not true or even possible. The truth is just like everything else, choosing the right moment to look up/down is the skill.

@misery_xyzz @IJaSport Hazard definitely lowers his center of mass. Maradona, Dinho, Aguero, Ribery most obviously. Neymar is not on my interest list.

@rtinfow @IJaSport Neymar !?! Hazard !?! Height issue ?

@blz314 @Tyler_A_Harper @moorehn Funny thing about "rich." It's always "more money than me." From my humble perspective half of the country is rich. Some of them are ass hats. Some of them are wonderfully generous. Soul condition has little to do with net worth.

@rtinfow @Tyler_A_Harper @moorehn Maybe you're a part of hyper-rich circles. Consider the rest of the country.

This is a common, very bourgeois error about the purpose of private school. The purpose of private school is not academic achievement. It is to establish a child within a social network of contacts that will help their career and marriage prospects for life.

Be aware of scammers using familiar vendor identities during phishing attacks. Today the were pretending to be @Mailchimp via @Zoho mail servers, using the familiar MailChimp black and yellow and chimp branding. Look closely before clicking any buttons or links. #cybersecurity #phishingalert #scams

@PaulSpacey This is the single most valuable one person exercise. You can ratchet up the intensity by walking in closer and facing sideways. I wore out three plywood walls in high school.

The coaches watching your kid aren’t looking for what you think.

@girdley I agree. People drift towards what is easy or interesting rather than the stuff that matters most. The trick is breaking big tasks into pieces that are achievable within a day.

The perfect to-do list app is this: (1) Write down the #1 big thing to get done tomorrow (2) Do it the next day (3) Fill the rest of the workday as needed It’s shocking how most people’s fatal flaw is working on unimportant stuff.

@abundanceinst The latest from Nvidia provides 35x output per watt.

The water and energy use of data centers is nothing to panic about. A high-end projection from the Department of Energy suggests data centers could triple their electricity use by 2028. Even under this extreme scenario, that's roughly the same amount of water used to irrigate 260 square miles of corn today, or about... 1 percent of total corn irrigation in America. 🌽 @centredaily @smithtjosh

@blz314 @Tyler_A_Harper @moorehn In the affluent circles I'm describing, voting for Trump would identify you as sub-human, not worthy of breathing their air. You might brag about shagging the maid, but you certainly wouldn't admit to voting for Trump!

@rtinfow @Tyler_A_Harper @moorehn Those rich ones are the exception. Most Harris voters are not wealthy.

@MakaiAllbert @ChrisMasterjohn Fascinating! Herbert Krugman showed in 1969 how just changing the medium (tv vs reading) changed brainwaves. Now there's a similar pattern with handwriting vs typing - another demonstration that HOW we engage with information affects how we think and retain.

@ChrisMasterjohn It is precisely because it makes you use your brain… we have the EEG data. doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.…

This has been well known for decades but it isn’t because writing makes you use your brain. It’s because writing is SLOWER than typing and efficiency and speed are the enemy of understanding. Slowness forces the student to reword what they are writing because they have no time to write down everything and rewording requires thinking about meaning. Typing is fast enough to write down direct quotes so it doesn’t require thinking about meaning. Use efficiency and speed for rote things that free up time to slow down for what you want to derive meaning from.

@Tyler_A_Harper @moorehn You know some limo liberals I see. I encounter most in charity functions and boardrooms. It's easy to write checks, but don't ask them to engage.

@moorehn It’s also a way (mainly but not exclusively in urban areas) for liberals to insulate their children from interacting with poor minorities without admitting to themselves that that’s what they’re doing.

@Aquel19Rojo @tomsan106 There is a whole twisted system of agents and promoters who want a piece of these kids before they hit puberty.

@rtinfow @tomsan106 Fair. I agree. Those academies are also very expensive unless you’re scouted, if I’m not wrong. It’s insane how they scout them so young— Phil Foden was 4. Nowadays they’re a business, imo. On the contrary, kids in South America do not usually have academy upbringing. .

Soccer in the U.S. is a sport dominated by wealthy families. The system is designed to extract as much money as possible, while many parents have no idea what real player development looks like. They end up spending thousands of dollars, only to stand on the sidelines frustrated, shouting, because despite the investment, their child struggles with basic skills like executing a simple one-two pass or changing direction with the ball, even without pressure. 🤷‍♂️⚽️

@1_badkarma @tomsan106 Not any more! By age 7 the promising Brazilian kids are playing organized ball. That’s Pele’s origin story but it’s changed in 65 years.

@tomsan106 THE BEST SOCCER PLAYERS IN THE WORLD ARE TRAINED ON DIRT STREETS WITH MAKESHIFT BALL MADE OF SOCKS AND RAGS.
