THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST QUOTES OF ALL-TIME BY #NFL LEGEND BILL BELICHICK: “You experience the Pain of Preparation or the Pain of Failure. It's pain either way. You have to decide if you want pain at the beginning or pain at the end.” 🐐🐐🐐

type of shit your university builds when you're about to graduate

Ngl humans shouldn't always stay at home, even if you have nothing to do. Because staying at home for too long makes the brain become dull and leads to overthinking. You'll have more negative emotions. Psychology calls this state mental rumination. Most of the time, people who stay at home long term are not physically lazy - but mentally exhausted. You increasingly do not want to go out or see people. Even going to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bottle of water feels troublesome. You start to get used to being in a daze alone, scrolling through your phone and staying up late. Then you repeatedly struggle with yourself in an empty room. You think you're resting. But in fact, you're quietly draining the vitality of life. Your brain needs stimulation. Movement. Connection. Without it, your thoughts turn inward and spiral. The longer you isolate, the harder it becomes to break the pattern.

@sovietsoleri Would you rather live in the future or the past? Assuming the future turns out the way you envision.

In Germany, prototypes of bioelectronic insects for military purposes were unveiled The company SWARM Biotactics has developed a technology that combines living insects with neural interfaces, AI, and sensors, turning them into autonomous reconnaissance platforms. The project has progressed from concept to application within a year, with field tests already completed. The advantage of such systems over drones is their high mobility, low noise levels, and ability to access hard-to-reach places.

i heard someone say on a podcast. “God didn’t split the red sea before moses got there.” moses had to show up first. then the water moved. we keep waiting for things to make sense before we take a step. waiting for the way to clear before we start walking. waiting for a sign before we commit. but moses didn’t get a sign first. he got told where to go. and he went anyway. faith isn’t sitting still until the miracle happens. faith is moving toward it when you can’t see how it will work out.

always make time for enjoyment because suffering will make time for itself.

@xMcQuaidx @CharlesSchwab New fear unlocked

I made so many trades last year that I broke @CharlesSchwab's tax reporting system. This has been such an incredible headache. YOU CANNOT TRUST YOUR BROKER'S 1099. Schwab is reporting that I lost $317,000,000 in 2025. As much as I would love that capital loss carry forward for the rest of eternity, I was actually profitable in 2025. To be clear, I am a small time independent retail trader trading my own capital. These numbers are absurd given the size of my humble trading account. Schwab is missing thousands upon thousands of my trades, and while they have been working on fixing it for a month, they have been unable to. A dozen different representatives assured me that their tax reporting software was separate from what displays on their web site, and that my 1099 would be correct. NOPE! You would think the largest brokerage in America would be able to actually, ya know, track your trades. They can't. I now feel incredibly stupid trusting my broker's 1099's my whole life. I assumed since they have a legal and fiduciary duty to report your tax information correctly, that they would. In reality I have likely been underpaying or overpaying yearly, and I know I am not alone. If you are a trader, whether amateur or professional, I would highly recommend getting external software that handles taxes and monitoring of your trading activity. (I chose Tradelog). On top of not missing out on thousands of trades, the software can optimize wash sale disallowances in a tax advantaged way. I never would have known to get this software had Schwab not screwed this up so badly.
