Brebeuf baseball history was set last night. In the GameChanger era (2012 to present) @Isaiahfrank27 is the only pitcher to throw a complete game no-hit shutout in the state tournament. His line: 7IP, 0H,0R, 4BB, 13K. He also becomes the first to have 2 CG no hitters in a season!
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

🚨🎙️🗣️ | Thierry Henry on Bruno Fernandes breaking the Premier League Assist Record:
🗣️ Henry: "Listen, we need to stop debating and start appreciating. What Bruno Fernandes is doing right now, on the verge of breaking the all-time Premier League assist record... it is simply 'magnifique.' To have that vision, that consistency in the final third, it’s not normal. People talk about statistics, but I talk about the *difficulty* of the pass. He sees things before the camera even pans to the runner.
And it’s not just the passing, is it? You see him stand over the ball 25 yards out and you already know the keeper is in trouble. For me, he is easily one of the best shooters in world football right now. He strikes the ball with such purity; it’s a gift. When you combine that elite finishing with the record-breaking creativity, you aren't just looking at a great player you’re looking at the clear PFA Player of the Year. He deserves that recognition, without question.
Looking ahead, if Portugal goes all the way and wins the World Cup, let’s be serious: Bruno has to be in that top five for the Ballon d'Or. He carries the weight of the game on his shoulders every single week. I’ll say it plainly anyone who doesn’t appreciate what this guy is doing, quite simply, they do not know ball. You have to respect the craft, and right now, Bruno is a master."
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
