@micsolana It’s just a good political move to be on camera as much as possible. Then it becomes much harder to lie about you.

I wrote an essay on this, but thought the biggest opportunity was in politics

Why aren’t there more Twitch style streamers in tech?

It feels like there’s white space in streaming for tech creators, especially relative to podcasts and newsletters which are more saturated.

TBPN and a few others have shown there’s substantial demand for it when it’s good.

@AlienNeutr12934 Cheating at scrambles is something that needs to be talked about too… I’ve been seeing way too many 17 and 18 unders

@david_perell hey DP, love your content. You asked in an email for interesting articles. I wrote one about the culture of fudging scores in amateur golf (why is it the only sport where cheating is encouraged?). https://t.co/hHsEFLB4wy

I trust Portnoy to identify the reality-TV-infication of politics better than anyone. Barstool pioneered the reality-TV-ification of sports media

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

I don’t care what side of the aisle you are on this is fascinating to watch unfold in front of camera like it’s a Bravo show.

Light jogging is nothing more than a mental health exercise

[addison raetheon @ITARviolation]

the fact that a 5k only burns like 300 calories is a fundamentally unfair truth of being human

[DevinWenzel @DevinWenzel]

Uh oh… someone’s learning how to shape his golf shots

[Harrison H. Smith ✞ @HarrisonHSmith]

Taught my son “stand at attention,” and it’s the greatest parenting hack I’ve ever learned.

Boys LOVE being soldiers. You can yell at them, try to reason with them, cajole them, and nothing works.

But you say “at-attention! About-face! March!” And they snap right to it.

[matthew ritchie @mkrwrt]

would love to take inefficient midrange shots here

Everything low and contemptible about the modern minor intellectual is packed into this one tweet: the pseudo-cleverness in bad faith (why use the whole earth as the denominator? Solely to diminish the target); the misleading obsessions (yes, the Bonapartes were minor Corsican/Italian nobility, but also quite poor relative to French elites); and, most of all, the bitter resentment of anyone or anything greater than the intellectual himself.

[Jon Erlichman @JonErlichman]

In YouTube’s early days, co-founder Steve Chen felt depressed because only 40 videos had been uploaded.

[DevinWenzel @DevinWenzel]

Do college coaches still do this?

It was a regular part of my experience a decade ago (usually with conditioning punishment) but I’m wondering how vibes have changed now that kids can transfer at will

[DevinWenzel @DevinWenzel]

@paulg How’s this?

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY: Boys N Berries 🫐

WHAT WE DO: Boys N Berries is an all-male fruit farm and revue. We hire rugged veterans, retired athletes, and ex-convicts to work our fruit farms and charge admission to observe.

WHY IT WILL WORK: The archetypical male and female fantasies are different. If women wanted to watch men dance around on stage, there would be a dozen male strip clubs in every city, but there aren’t. Boys N Berries will fill this vacuum by giving women what they really want - strapping chaps chopping wood, digging ditches, and compressing berries in a hard day’s work. (And we’ll package and distribute the fruits)

THE INVESTMENT: $100k for 10% of Boys N Berries (BnB) DM if interested.

[DevinWenzel @DevinWenzel]

@PaulSkallas Something is definitely off, but I think some of this is like the Covid testing thing. Flu cases rose because more people were getting tested

The old heads didn’t report injuries. They just suited up and balled

[DevinWenzel @DevinWenzel]

I fear new media will die a similar death to old media

Too many accounts on here losing credibility every day playing for a team

Surely not EVERYTHING Trump/Musk does is good

Surely not EVERYTHING Trump/Musk does is evil

It's Fox vs CNN all over again. Any recommendations for accounts that truly calls it how they sees it? Like @Jason or @PaulSkallas

The duality of dog

@ConnorMcVey_ Yes, naked

[DevinWenzel @DevinWenzel]

Take a full backswing, trust yourself. Relaxed and controlled.

Release the hands earlier than you think

Swing with your back hip!

Tilt chin slightly up. It gives you more space than if tucked. Chin up slightly through backswing AND downswing

Look at the target. Your attention should be on the target, not on the ball.

Pinch the scaps on the take away to activate whole spine.

SHAPE SHOTS.

Grip in the finger tips. Heel first on irons, toe first on wedges. Strengthen grip a little but keep it in the finger tips on driver.

Shorten follow through. Stay aggressive but don’t make the finish so long

Be an athlete. Don’t think!
