"People who consistently get better results organize their lives in such a way that they are in a position to have better options and are never forced by circumstances into a bad decision."

"Good thinking is expensive. Bad thinking costs a fortune.

One way to force yourself to think is to write. Good writing requires good thinking."

Hello @amazonmusic — fix your app so it runs on Apple Silicon. You’ve had a couple of years to get on top of this. @TIDAL has always seemed to be a better option, but now there is no doubt.

2/2 What is needed is better screening at intake — if the article addressed that, then I missed it.

1/2 Really? I don’t know. Did any of those 5 officers in Memphis demonstrate that they had the temperament necessary to be in a role of serving and protecting? The proposal from @TheEconomist seems to regress towards the way Detroit built cars in the ‘70s — ship it, then fix it.

"The best way to improve your ability to think is to spend time thinking.

One way to force yourself to slow down and think is to write. Good writing requires clear thinking.

Writing gives poor thinking nowhere to hide."

The @SFGiants win the NL West, with the Dodgers, Padres, Rockies, and Diamondbacks finishing a combined 116.5 games back. Since MLB moved to 3 divisions, in 1994, has any division winner won with a higher combined games back total? SFO and LA simply dominated the NL West.

Hello @amazonmusic. The Tord Gustavsen Trio is piano + bass + drums. There is no trumpet. When I ask @amazonmusic to "Play Similar Music" I want to hear piano + bass + drums. You know: Bad Plus; Esbjörn Svensson; Brad Mehldau. I don't want to hear trumpet. BTW -- I play trumpet.
