Friends, the world can give you superficial happiness from time to time, but only God can give you shalom—deep peace.

“We will only know from the perspective of eternity the brilliant, beautiful plan that God has prepared and unfolded in each one of our lives.” - Fr. Boniface Hicks in today’s Daily Homily

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Christ is risen from the dead, and with him, we too rise to new life! This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death. #Easter

Jason Calacanis: “Nobody will remember that Tesla ever made a car, they will only remember the Optimus.”

@Jason explains why he thinks @elonmusk’s greatest legacy will be the Optimus robot:

“ I went to Tesla with Elon and visited the Optimus lab.”

“There were a large number of people working on a Sunday at 10AM, and I saw Optimus 3.”

“I can tell you now, nobody will remember that Tesla ever made a car, they will only remember the Optimus.”

“He is going to make a billion of those, and it is going to be the most transformative technology product ever made in the history of humanity, because what LLMs are going to enable those products to do is understand the world and then do things in the world that we don't want to do.”

“I believe it'll be a 1-to-1 ratio of humans to Optimus, and I think he's already won.”

From Fr. Mike’s homily today:

“Comfort has become the god of our generation.

If comfort is our god, then we end up missing God. We end up missing God’s will in our lives.

And the goal of our lives is God’s will. The obstacle is that we’re living in captivity to comfort. We’re unwilling to be uncomfortable.

We need to be willing to pursue God’s will and have absolutely no fear of discomfort.

If we’re bound by a love of comfort, we’ll never be able to love anything else.”

You get 18 summers. Then they're visiting.
You get 940 weekends. Then they have their own.
You get 6,570 bedtimes. Then silence.
Time is the only real currency of parenthood. Spend it wisely.
You can't earn more.

Underrated life advice: Most progress won't feel like progress. Some seasons are about planting seeds you won’t see grow for months or years. Trust in the quiet work. Take pride in it. The world belongs to those who keep showing up even when the rewards are uncertain.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Something is clearly broken.

It’s time those of us who were able to live this out, figure out what to do to help the millions who aren’t anymore.

Make at least one big bet in your life.

If you don’t, you’ll regret it later.

Home run derby announcers in 2025: "With a launch angle to 46 degrees and a bat speed of 103, he hit that ball 476 feet."

Home run derby of my youth: "BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK"

[Tom Pagano @TomPagano3]

Totally agree. And healthy culture.

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

The best company perk isn't a healthcare stipend, summer fridays, or kombucha on tap.

It's the right to work on a wildly ambitious mission that can have a consequential impact on society.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Underrated life advice: Reliability is an opportunity magnet. Opportunities accrue to the person who shows up. The one who keeps their word. The one who follows through. The one who makes things easier. Those who show up for the small will eventually earn trust for the big.

Baseball is like the stock market. It's not meant to be looked at and analyzed every day. Just peek in every few weeks to see how you're doing

We are built for struggle, and we are built for adventure.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Your entire life will change when you realize that your fear comes from inexperience, not incapability. You're afraid because you haven't done it yet, not because you can't do it. Inexperience is the problem to be solved—and it's solved through having the courage to act.

@ErnstPT Watched this recently (first time in like 25 years) with my son and thought the same thing — unbelievable cast.

Also so many great jokes that I missed as a kid.
