@scott_tindle @CoachSwit My dad coached you 😂

Watching an opposing coach hit fungos during pregame tells me a lot… I’ll leave it at that. Because if you know… you know

I am proud to continue my support of the Gary Sinise Foundation and its mission to honor and serve our nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders and their families. I will again donate $100 for every strikeout I record during the 2026 season. In an effort to make the most impact possible, I have increased my campaign goal to $150,000. I invite you to join me on my mission to raise money for this amazing cause.  To kick off this campaign, I will personally meet and thank the individual that makes the largest donation between the launch of this campaign and the Pirates home opener on April 3. This individual will be thanked with a batting practice meet and greet and tickets to stay and enjoy a home or away game during the 2026 season. The meet and greet experience is for a mutually agreeable game date during the 2026 season. In the event that there are multiple donors with tied donation amounts, up to two prizes will be awarded to the first two donors. Please donate at link in my bio! Thank you for your support and go Pirates!  @GarySiniseFound

@JellyBeanDeath @BretWeinstein That's true that the horizon is longer. But, for people who were hoping to re-skill and move into these trades the bots will likely be here before the humans re-skilling get through their apprenticeship period.

@BretWeinstein I guess it all depends on your time horizon. They will be safe for longer than many white collar jobs. Robot+AI adoption is still probably years away before it can scale enough to have serious impact on trades.

Lots of people are saying I’m an academic who doesn’t understand what the trades are. But I’ve done lots of construction. Framing, roofs, doors and windows, tile, wood floors, plumbing, and electrical. I’m a master of none. But I understand them. The trades are NOT safe from AI.

@TBiBOK @bgcts @scratchyjohnson You knew what I meant. I could have more accurately said a direct descendant via paternal lineage.

@scott_tindle @bgcts @scratchyjohnson Your great grandfather? What's it like to be almost 500 years old?

This morning @scratchyjohnson tweeted an important factoid. Squanto, the Indian who spoke English and helped the pilgrims survive, was sold by John Smith to a Spaniards and the deed exists in the city we're in for Excursion. Rather than rolling our eyes, Alan, Gavin & I went to the state archives in Málaga to see if we can find said recorded deed of 20 Indians sold by John Smith to Juan Bautista Reales. We get to the Archives (see Alan's picture below), and a small genial white lab coat wearing gentleman who speaks no English says this is impossible to find. His new boss, the head archivist, Carmen, comes in and says it certainly exists but may be difficult to find. If you only had the year. We tell her it was 1614. She pulls up a list of the books from 29 notaries whose work they have from 1614. She asks who the notary was. We have no idea. They say they can't go through 29 archives to look for it. Also it's all in old Spanish which nobody speaks and it'll be hard to locate even if they know the Notary. So Alan and Gavin get to work. Gavin finds an article in the internet archive that seems to have a partial picture of the document. Carmen and the other archivist decipher the name after 15 min. They find that name in their cross reference. Carmen goes to the vault to look while the lab coat gentleman asks for my life history, driver's licence number and a lien on my grandchildren. Totally worth it. Carmen comes back to say she found the volume. It is tremendously delicate. Opening it may break some pages. Does it have to be today because if so the answer will be no. We ask her if this is interesting to them. Both very seriously nod their heads. We tell them this is very important to the United States and many of our friends. Carmen tells us she will find it but that it takes time. White linen gloves and patience. We tell her to take her time. She says she will take a picture and email it to me. So here's why all this is important: after Squanto was sold by an Englishman to a Spaniard names Reales, said Spaniard brought Squanto and 19 other "inios" to Málaga. He recorded the deed in the state archives. Then a Franciscan priest ransomed Squanto. Squanto became Catholic. Was baptized and confirmed in Málaga. He then made his way to England where he worked and learned English. He paid his passage back across the ocean and found his Wampanoag tribesmen. Then when the Pilgrims landed they found a Catholic English-speaking native who helped them survive their first winter. It is entirely possible that but for a Franciscan priest who ransomed Squanto, the Pilgrims may not have survived their first winter in New England. That's history. American history. And the record of it is in Málaga. In a book. One of 29 books kept by notaries in Málaga in 1614. That are still searchable. This image, when it comes, belongs in the US National Archive. This is Cultural Debris. x.com/i/status/20349… cc: @alancornett @gwbled @Gonnassaurius_ @wrathofgnon

Anyone want to take a guess at what this is…

@DanielPink love this. I explain it to my kids as, "AI is the recipe book but you are the chef."

4. Composition AI gives you ingredients. Humans create the meal. Composition = assembling ideas into something coherent and meaningful. Try the rule of three: organize every idea into three beats. You don't win with more pieces—you win with better arrangement.

The headlines are relentless. AI seems posed to outthink many of us. So what do humans do? Twenty years after writing A WHOLE NEW MIND about the rise of right-brainers, here’s my initial answer: Double down on six human skills. 🧵👇

@walls_jason1 @TunesOnX @ABCSharkTank @mcuban If you take investment from anyone they become part of the team. You can control how much of the company you're willing to share with investors. Feel free to DM if you have questions on how it works.

@TunesOnX @ABCSharkTank @mcuban Yuk, you know this is the first time I have realized this. Seriously

I just applied to @ABCSharkTank. 3 days ago I was pulling wire in Kentucky. Then @mcuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and personally introduced me to Shark Tank casting. Today I submitted my application for Season 18. Here's the wild part: I'm not a tech founder. I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. Zero coding background. I built @EV_ChargeRight — a $12.99 tool that saves homeowners $3,000-$5,000 on unnecessary electrical panel upgrades before EV charger installs. 70% of EV owners don't need the upgrade they're being sold. The math proves it. NEC 220.82. I built the entire product with @AnthropicAI's Claude. No dev team. No funding. Just a tradesman with a problem worth solving. This week: - 860K+ views on my story - 16K likes - 2.4K reposts - Mark Cuban in my DMs A week ago I was just an electrician with an idea and a laptop. Now I'm applying to pitch in the Tank. If you're in the trades and thinking about building something — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try.

@walls_jason1 @ABCSharkTank @mcuban I was on Season 3. Had a great experience. The team at Shark Tank was fantastic to work with! Best wishes!

I found the place but missed the Pancake Breakfast.

@Polymarket When 400 white collar workers are applying for 1 plumbing job the wage compression will result in plumbers making less than they do today.

JUST IN: Uber founder says AI will make human labor far more valuable, predicts plumbers could become “like LeBron” in an automated world.

@damianplayer When 400 white collar workers are applying for 1 plumbing job the wage compression will result in plumbers being paid substantially less than they do today.

Travis Kalanick says when everything is fully automated, that “plumbers become LeBron”. everyone is fighting over comfy white collar jobs while the kid who learned a trade at 18 is about to be the most valuable person in the room. trade school 2.0 is near.

@redl3tters Shhh. Don't tell them. It's starting to get a little crowded down here.

Back in the south for a few days. I was late to my uber pickup spot, but the driver patiently waited. Said it wasn’t a big deal. Made friendly conversation on the road. Got to the office and the receptionist smiled and walked me to where I needed to be. Later in the night, the hotel manager said they didn’t carry Tylenol –– but wait, she disappeared around the corner to grab her purse and gave me some of her own. Things that never happen in New York. Southern Hospitality, ladies and gentlemen.

@CoachMacHTX @acekingspades @TalkinBaseball_ That's like comparing my 10u kid to Ronald Acuna. GMAFB

Umpire C.B. Bucknor had three pitches overturned in the first inning today

@qwerty_ytrevvq Thanks for sharing!

if even 1% of the 200k builds something using these APIs - i’ll be happy this article was worth every minute

@thejohnnygwin You know me so well!

.@scott_tindle approves of this product

USA baseball needed the travel ball dad - he knows all the scenarios, has mapped them out extensively and told everyone who will listen (and those that will ignore him). He may be annoying, but he knows the tiebreaker rules, scenarios win or lose and who and when they will play next - in every scenario possible. He would have told DeRosa and every manager. Travel ball dads for the win!

@DivinelyDesined The simulation really outdid itself with birds!

Here's something else that could not possibly evolve. Birds are clearly Divinely Designed. Everything about a bird is perfectly engineered for flight, from its shape to its organs. The idea that all the features in birds which enable flight could have evolved is absurd on its face. Most of these features would be useless, or actually harmful, if they appeared in an organism that didn't fly. On top of that, most of these features also rely on other features to make them functional, meaning they can't evolve step-by-step; the pieces of the system need to arise together. Air Sac System: Extra air sacs connected to the lungs let air flow straight through in one direction so the bird gets fresh oxygen even while breathing out during hard work. This system couldn't have evolved. First, any transitional form would need a hole punched in its diaphragm to start developing the air sacs, creating a debilitating hernia that would collapse the whole breathing apparatus. This would get eliminated by natural selection, the organism couldn't survive. Second, birds have a special bone that braces the thin-walled abdominal air sacs which prevents them from collapsing during inhalation. Without this uniquely designed bone placed exactly where it is, air sacs would flatten uselessly and offer no benefit, which means they couldn't evolve. Third, the air sacs require a full system of features - air sacs which also invade hollow bones, precise parabronchi tubes, countercurrent blood flow, and rigid skeletal supports. All these features work together, or the system fails, which means they can't evolve step-by-step. No observed fossils show functional intermediate steps. Hollow Bones: Birds have bones filled with air spaces and internal struts that make the skeleton light enough to lift off while still strong enough to handle the forces of flapping. An entire hollow skeleton would be detrimental to a land walking organism, as they would easily break, which means they wouldn't be selected for. Their hollow bone structures are also directly integrated into their breathing apparatus, the air sacs. This integration fills the bones with air via small openings (pneumatic foramina), reducing overall weight while internal struts keep the bones strong for flight. But the strongest point against the bird's gradual evolution is the fossil record. Birds appear suddenly, with fully formed and functional features in the fossil record. There is no stepwise evolutionary story of birds to be found on the fossil record. Birds were clearly intelligently designed. Everything about their anatomy shows purposeful function and intentional design features, engineered specifically for the purpose of flying. Evolutionary precursors would be harmed by partially formed and non-functional bird features. Birds couldn't have evolved.

In 2022, a cook at a Burger King inside an airport in Las Vegas posted a video showing the gift he received for 27 years of work without missing a single day. It was a plastic drawstring bag with a movie ticket, some pens, a few sweets, and a reusable coffee cup. He wasn’t bitter about it. He opened everything on camera and thanked his coworkers with a genuine smile. Kevin Ford had started the job 27 years earlier as a single father after gaining custody of his two daughters. He stayed because the position came with unionised health insurance that put all four of his kids through school with full coverage. By the time the video went viral he was approaching retirement age and couldn’t leave without losing his pension. The internet was furious on his behalf, but Kevin himself never complained. His daughter Seryna set up a fundraising page hoping to raise $200 so he could visit his grandchildren. It raised over $450,000. In December 2023 he bought his first home, a three bedroom house in Pahrump, Nevada for $177,000. He gave part of the rest to his daughter, paid off debts, and put the remainder into savings for retirement. He still works at the same Burger King and still hasn’t missed a shift. His only absence in 27 years was for a television appearance.
