One big US soccer thought: our youth development has to get more affordable. One of my kids plays travel. It’s at least $5k a year & this isn’t even super high end. We can afford it, thankfully, lots can’t. Youth sports costs in the US are out of control, soccer more than most.

Major changes coming with AI.

Needs to be on every church leaders radar at some level

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

True

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

Coming quick.

AI companies really need to come up with a better pitch to the public than “You’re all gonna lose your jobs and end up paying way more for electricity”.

They will protest like they did in the industrial revolution when they realize robots can out work them and take their jobs.

JUST IN: Figure AI launches a 10-hour “Man vs. Machine” contest between a human worker and its humanoid robot to see who can sort more packages.

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

Big shifts coming for higher education. AI is changing the job market. Many will opt for blue collard jobs out of high school.

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

My hometown. So sad.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Austin, Texas is under a shelter-in-place after 10 shootings in under 24 hours.

The suspects are teenagers, and the victims were random people.

10 shootings in one city, one day, by the same group of teens points to something coordinated.

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

This will be used to insight fear and increase spending. It is not true.

BREAKING: A speech has reportedly been prepared for President Trump confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life, according to sources close to the president.

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

I know it seems “funny” but I believe this will be the next “crisis” that our country will face.

[Leading Report @LeadingReport]

President Trump posts image of him walking with an alien.

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

A miracle.

This is something I would totally believe was AI based on the most insanely unlikely event of two jets striking each other midair and not immediately exploding or being torn apart. It’s also remarkable that the canopy was clear for both crews to escape.

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

People do not understand what’s going to happen with AI.

Many of the “respectable” “white collar” jobs will be taken by automated bots.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Where will AI be in 1, 2 or 3 years?

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

Ha! Let’s go!!

[Chicago White Sox @whitesox]

listening to this on repeat until further notice

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

More discussion needed quickly on this.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: Microsoft AI chief predicts AI will automate most white-collar work within 18 months.

[Dr. Cliff Holdridge 🌵 @CoachHoldridge]

White collar jobs are going to be under pressure with AI. The church isn’t talking about this enough.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: Citadel CEO Ken Griffin says AI agents are now automating “extraordinarily high-skilled” finance jobs.

Guns up!

This century, teams were 0-640 when trailing by 8+ runs in an NCAA softball tourney game.

It's now 1-640. Texas Tech was down 8 runs WITH ONLY ONE OUT LEFT and somehow became the first 🤯

So sad. Praying for this pastor and his family.

[Pastor Greg Locke @pastorlocke]

Today, words fail us. It’s been a long, hard battle the last few years. In times like this, the sacrifices and the struggles don’t even matter. A few hours ago we received the most earth-shattering news that our 20 year old son, Evan Roberts Locke, could not be revived after his heart stopped due to an overdose. His struggle was very public. It was used as a warning to many, a punchline to the haters but an overall reminder that even in our deepest pain, the grace of Jesus will sustain us. I’ll address the church family with arrangement details this Sunday. Please respect our privacy. He has 5 heartbroken siblings and a world of people that helped him along his journey.
