Best thing I've seen all week.
Harry Higgs talking about what golf has been teaching him and how, after all these years, he's still learning what it takes to be great.
40 years of age is midlife in absolute terms based on actuarial tables.
Because of how we experience time, it’s more like 60-70% of life is gone.
Each year moves faster.
That’s why I keep reminding people. You’re not young. You don’t have time. Gotta getting moving.
Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.
"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."
"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."
You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.
It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.
No shortcuts...Just hard work.

I can't wait to try @function@drmarkhyman!
I was a long time @everly_well user and frequent advocate, but after an expensive test (taken a second time to compare) looked wholly errant, an email CSR said it looked fine to her, refused to escalate and that's that. 💸🔥
@KTmBoyle And poker in public cardrooms. Show up. Buy in. Work. Skill and resilience was rewarded. Results converged to EV over time. But that meritocracy was destroyed in 2020. No wonder risk profiles in tradfi and crypto markets diverged dramatically from historical norms in 2021.
Burry’s tweet is pure contempt. The system is rigged. He knows it. The man who shorted the world is staring at a market that refuses to bleed. Liquidity is fake. Repo lines exploding. Twenty billion pulled through the Standing Repo Facility. Highest on record. That means collateral stress. That means the banks are out of ammo. Fed steps in. Pretends it’s normal. Pumps synthetic liquidity into a corpse and calls it stability. That’s what he’s watching. The same guy who made billions shorting real collapse now sees the same signs but can’t touch it. Because every signal that should trigger the crash is sterilized by policy. Repo backstops. Treasury buybacks. QE in drag. There is no market left. Only a simulation of one. He saw 2008 and made billions. Now he sees 2025 and can’t even place the bet. Because the casino rewired the chips. That’s why he said it. Not to warn. He’s tired.
Good morning.
The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all.
I liked your post, because you are not totally lost and I sense you engage in good faith. But at the same time, I hope you come to realize that you now, this is all knotted up in a horrible web of corruption with very powerful interests invested in protecting the status quo, and it takes a wrecking ball in the form of DOGE to start making a dent.
The alternative is that we have no financial future. I'd rather take "reckless" over "no future." That's the bottom line.
Still, people don't entirely realize what has happened. The party now in control of the US executive branch is a third party built out of the corpses of two prevailing parties.
It goes by the name Republican but that is nearly a historical accident. Nearly all the top people are refugees from the Democrat Party and were never welcomed and even hated by the legacy establishment of the Republicans.
So far, there is every indication of the intention: to dismantle government as we've known it for a century or more. I consider that a good thing in general.
