Avila Beach🇺🇸@AvilaBeach·
I worked on a shrimp boat when I was 19, on a lark, seeking adventure. A day into our trip fifty miles off the coast of Florida, a raging storm set in. For three days, we fought for our lives. At one point, I came face to face with a wall of black water, death itself, towering above me. Blubbering like a baby, I had to continue sweeping water off the deck, securing debris, working to survive. Mostly, I remember like it was yesterday the Captain gripping me by my shirt, “You gotta be tough, son, you gotta be tough.” The sea terrifies me. I’ve only been out to sea on a boat once since then, to spread my mother’s ashes. The engine on the boat caught fire. Just as we were saying a prayer for her and getting ready to release her to the ocean. Black smoke billowed out as my brother and I leaned over and set her free. The sea. I hope they find that submarine.

@DougTenNapel Gumby was created right on California’s central coast, in a quaint beachside town called Los Osos.

Gumby was a big creative influence on me, but nothing reoriented my life like salvation in Christ. Just this morning I was trying to apply Paul's words to "be clothed in Jesus Christ" so I read the first two chapters of John thinking, "I gotta find out his nature and character through the Bible". Though I've read John hundreds of times in my life, I learned new things about Christ this morning and now I know better how to do what Paul said.

While listening to @XJosh 's MATI, he mentioned that Gooseworx was inspired by Gumby. You know who else was also? @DougTenNapel In way, you can where what direction one faith or lack there of can produce. One side, mental illness and the other, Veggietales

Pete Crow-Armstrong saw 20 pitches while hitting for the cycle. The quality of his takes stood out. This is a hitter who is feeling comfortable and maturing. Here's every pitch from PCA's historical night in rapid succession.

@garrettnolan With so many foreigners in America and a corporate hype machine fine tuned after decades of implementation, the fabricated passion for a sport that simply fails to resonate organically with the American soul is no surprise.

95% butts in seats at Los Angeles Stadium on a Monday for a match involving a country we’re at war with vs. a country with half the population of LA County. Tell me again about the lack of buzz for the World Cup.

Chasing an audience is no good. You want to find the biggest audience (biggest audience for the same amount of work is mass media) that likes what you like. Chasing people who don’t have anything in common with your art is a formula for burn out, but so is making stuff that only you like then getting frustrated when there’s never any heat. Two problems I see with most creators: 1. They don’t create anything at all. 2. They don’t know when to cut bait and try something else.

Chasing an audience has let me down too many times. Now I create what I enjoy.

What I want after this world cup is over. 1. USA to NEVER host a World Cup. 2. Infantino to be booted out. 3. Hydration Breaks to never occur when temperatures are at a certain level. 4. Ticket prices to be capped at a reasonable amount. 5. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.

@CynicalPublius Soccer will always be viewed as foreign, not at all essential or necessary to our national fabric and identity.

Something miraculous is happening in the USA and the world thanks to the World Cup and the USA’s 250th. I’m not quite sure yet what it is, I have to give it more thought. I think it has something to do with the world realizing that managed decline is not necessary (with Trump’s America as the example), and I think it has something to do with more Americans not being afraid to be patriots about their nation and their culture. It’s more than that though—I have to ponder. Article coming when I figure it out. Any and all ideas welcome.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

@Kalshi_Finance This company is more about humanity banning together to reach beyond the stars than immediate price of shares. Most people who bought one or a handful of shares are dreamers and builders at heart.

@GloriaJRomero @EladioDon29277 The system is configured in such a way as to ensure the ability to submit as many untraceable, unverifiable ballots as necessary to secure victory. Threat to Democracy seems to be an empty phrase these days.

I just want to reiterate this take: The most worthless thing in airports are the lounges. Everyone has access. It’s way calmer outside.

You are not only beyond talented but too kind as well! Basically, though, my dream is to have a (better) version of this integrated into a line of Pirates merchandising. “Old Skool Skenes!” DM me, Pirates, make an artist’s dream come true!
