You don't lack time.
You lack a reason that outweighs your excuses.
Decide your body is non-negotiable.
Watch the time appear.

GO TRAIN

Disbelief is negative power. When the mind disbelieves or doubts, the mind attracts "reasons" to support the disbelief. Doubt, disbelief, the subconscious will to fail, the not really wanting to succeed, is responsible for most failures. Think doubt and fail. Think victory and succeed.

Never pay for someone else's mistakes

🛑 taking a case mid-litigation, previous attorney screwed up and over billed the client

🛑 dating someone still angry at their ex

Go to the gym, people, get healthy. You cannot make the days matter without your health.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

In 2015 a writer named Tim Urban sat down and counted the days he had left with his parents. He was 34, healthy, both parents alive and well. The number came back around 300. Less time than he spent with them in any single year of his childhood.

The post is called The Tail End, on a blog called Wait But Why. The idea is to stop counting your life in years and start counting it in events. Reach 90 and you get about 4,680 weeks, and every one of them fits on a single sheet of paper. Maybe 60 more winters after that. If you read five books a year, that is 300 books, picked from every book ever written.

Those things at least spread out evenly. A third of the way through life means a third of the way through your pizzas. Time with the people you love does not work like that. Almost all of it sits at the very start. Then it is gone.

For your first 18 years you are around your parents nearly every day. Then you leave for college or a job in another city, and a normal adult sees their parents maybe 10 days a year. So the day you move out, you are already at 93 percent. Urban was living in the last 5 percent and had no idea until he drew the chart. He called it the tail end.

It does not stop at parents. His two sisters, after a whole childhood in the same house, had around 15 percent of their time together left. The four friends he played cards with most days in high school were down to their last 7 percent. Nobody had a fight. Nobody moved away angry. Life quietly spends the time for you while you assume there is plenty left.

You do not have to be old to be near the end with someone. If your parents are alive and you live in a different city, you have probably already used more than 90 percent of the days you will ever spend in the same room as them.

His one instruction is about that last stretch. When you are down to the final days with someone you love, treat that time like what it is, which is almost gone. The rest is the tail end, and it is much shorter than it feels.

Any reasonably thoughtful person would ask themselves “why isn’t Mike Lee introducing and pushing this amendment?” The answer, they’d find, is because he is an honest person and knows it cannot pass at a 60 vote threshold nor via reconciliation. Lee is interested in actually winning, not stringing the base along.

This is failure theater at its finest. The nail in the coffin for the SAVE Act. Killed not by Democrats, but by Republicans.

If you think SpaceX is a rocket company with an internet business, you're basically valuing Amazon on book sales in 2005.

@EasterbrookG Disney bought and paid for this outcome with billions of dollars spent over the past nearly 10 years alienating its fan base.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Powerful and true. You should always listen to people you respect, but you have to make your own decisions.

My parents often told me that I never listened. I told them that was not true. I always listened very carefully, but I always made my own decisions.

You have to live your own life.

@Cernovich Joe Rogan in 2024 is a clear example.

87% of people who get pancreatic cancer pass away within 5 years. It’s essentially always a death sentence. And now we’re potentially inching toward a cure. Incredible times we’re in.

@Cernovich Republican turnout is essentially unchanged from the non-Trump baseline.

[Balaji @balajis]

This is the wrong way of thinking about it.

By this logic, a school shooter is "powerful" because they can kill an entire school.

Real power is the power to build, to maintain stability and prosperity.

It's not the power to destroy. Anyone can kill. Anyone can bomb, destabilize, spread chaos, set fires, create anarchy. Unfortunately, that's relatively easy.

The old America could build, not just kill.
That's the America I admire.

$20 Billion and 7 years to complete a base on the moon… Still faster and less expensive than rebuilding the Key Bridge in Baltimore. https://t.co/SmzBevW4HJ

There's this weird phenomenon in politics where younger generations just get forgotten about or ignored.
Mostly by Republican party. Same generations. Voted Obama. Voted Trump. Republicans get into power then abandon the generation that put them there & go right back neocon slop.

@AJA_Cortes I got back into the gym after a 15 year absence (no one should do this). Air bike is easy to use, can’t injure yourself, low impact, easy to track progress.

This is the future of housing

It will be similar pattern to Asian

-as population growth flat lines, cities get larger and turn into mega cities and exurbs

The "country" and small town places get hollowed out and depopulated

Luxury enclaves and small towns increase in value

JIM JORDAN says he’s now in favor of a clean extension of FISA. This is the same Jim Jordan who said he was pushing for reforms of FISA
