This is my testimony--these words. I can make no other argument nor plea nor appeal.

It is a work for the few with hopeful eyes that long to experience a world without contempt.

It is a work for the few who cannot help but find beauty in every encounter.

It is a work for the few who know failure can be more valuable than success—that complacency is life’s greatest risk.

It is for We the Rare
It is for We the Uncommon
It is for We the Exceptional

@BradyMontanaOn3 Seems accurate.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

Hearts is trending. So a quote from The Fall Line:

“Heart and lungs pumped fuel into the chamber of Reeves’ idling engine, and the sound of his heaving breath was strong enough to fill the deep gorge of Semitry National Park. Melted snow and hot sweat rippled in a small pool below Reeves’s mouth. His body sprawled flat against the precipice. His eyelids fell, and his muscles went limp. Reeves lost all sensation—neither sight, nor sound, nor touch could penetrate his conscious. For a moment, he was a being without context, aware only of himself, and the strength of his own soul filled the void left by an absent universe.”

@stevemagness And 18th in medal count for the 2024 summer games.

2026 performance has more to do with the cooler climate, cultural tendency toward niche winter sports, and access Scandinavian mountains.

@TeamUSA @lindseyvonn @usskiteam Cheers, @lindseyvonn !

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

Cheers to you, @lindseyvonn. Wishing you a speedy recovery and all the dreams, loves, leaps, and risks that life offers.

@TheChiefNerd For everyone who argues she should not have skied, you showed your hand.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@Schwarzenegger It was her risk to take. 99.99% do not understand why she would take it.

They also do not understand what it took to create the opportunity she had in front of her.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here other than, "it's never been done before." (Literally from my book and relates to the point I am making).

Regardless of it being hubris/narcissism (which I doubt), heroism, or just the raw urge to embrace the rare opportunity to compete in the olympics, it's her choice to make.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

Lindsey Vonn skied on a compromised knee with a torn ACL and crashed on her Olympic run yesterday. She broke her leg and needed an emergency medical evacuation off the mountain, airlifted from the slope via helicopter.

Many questioned her decision to take that risk. Nearly just as many argue that she should not have participated in the composition.

Her decision to compete is exactly what I explored in my novel, The Fall Line.

Psyche. No one has a clue what’s coming next.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

Gold is collapsing
Silver is collapsing
Bitcoin is collapsing
Altcoins are collapsing
Stocks are collapsing
The US dollar is collapsing

Everyone knows what’s coming next.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@PeteSampson_ Let's hope that translates to better execution in August/September.

Hello, everyone! What’s good? What’s on your reading list?

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@sungleeiq Done

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@TheRealGoof_A10 @stoolpresidente The old system was terrible. The new one is a big upgrade. 12 team auto bid would be its best version.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

This is exhausting. I am not arguing about last year. I’m over it. You should do the same.

This is about ND’s automatic bid if they make the top 12—it should be the blanket rule for all teams going forward.

The best teams get in. No special rules for conferences or independents.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@TheRealGoof_A10 @stoolpresidente Yes. In a field that did not feature the top 12 teams competing.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@NdMuse You mean THE football state.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@SaemusRiley Unless you dress it up like Android (Linux) or iOS (Darwin/BSD).

Lesson: Delivery in art & culture is the key.

[Lucid Fitzpatrick @Lucididy]

@TheRealGoof_A10 @stoolpresidente I am literally advocating for all teams to be treated exactly the same--no special treatment.

Be in a conference or don't be. Just get the best teams in the bracket and let it all sort out on the field.
