That bus ceiling TV came from airlines. By the early 1980s, planes already had small box TVs in their ceilings running movies off VHS tapes. Bus companies copied the whole setup ten years later, fabric covering and all.
That tube TV weighed nearly 30 pounds, bolted into a moving bus. The driver pushed a tape in at the start of the trip. Everyone watched the same movie. Get on late, you missed the start.
Factories made about 160 million tube screens a year in the mid-90s. Tube TV sales kept climbing until 2005. Then flat-screens took over. Sony had stopped making them in Japan the year before. India's Videocon, the last big maker, shut its factory in 2015.
Buses moved on to flat seat-back screens in the 2000s. Then operators started ripping those out too. Lux Express, a European bus company that carries 3 million passengers a year, says onboard screen use roughly halved over the last decade. Nearly nine devices connect to the bus WiFi for every ten passengers.
American Airlines began pulling the same kind of screens from its planes in 2017. Same reason. The phone in the passenger's pocket made a $10,000 install per seat pointless.
So that fabric-covered box TV was a 90s copy of airline tech. The phone in your pocket killed both versions.
Know this about Ted Turner...
If not for him:
-The Braves leave Atlanta.
-The Hawks leave Atlanta.
-No TBS.
-No CNN.
-Atlanta loses its "international" status and probably loses the Olympics.
-Coke probably relocates.
-WCW Wrestling never comes to fruition.

now take this information and flip it. constantly pointing out the things you are grateful for can train your brain to notice more things to be grateful for. constantly noticing abundance will train your brain to notice even more abundance. flip the script & stay in control.
Ngl humans shouldn't always stay at home, even if you have nothing to do. Because staying at home for too long makes the brain become dull and leads to overthinking. You'll have more negative emotions. Psychology calls this state mental rumination. Most of the time, people who stay at home long term are not physically lazy - but mentally exhausted. You increasingly do not want to go out or see people. Even going to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bottle of water feels troublesome. You start to get used to being in a daze alone, scrolling through your phone and staying up late. Then you repeatedly struggle with yourself in an empty room. You think you're resting. But in fact, you're quietly draining the vitality of life. Your brain needs stimulation. Movement. Connection. Without it, your thoughts turn inward and spiral. The longer you isolate, the harder it becomes to break the pattern.
Got to see @alemeda live last month. Incredible show and put some words together about it. Big congrats on the first tour. Real superstar ⭐️

There’s a massive difference in getting sugar from candy and from fruit.
Fiber from fruit slows the pace at which sugar hits the bloodstream.
You get a better glucose and insulin spike while ingesting more vitamins and nutrients keeping you fuller.
One thing I love about this and so many people won’t be able to receive the depth of this message. This coaching tree thing people idolize.. he’s making it clear I didn’t come from a tree I had to become me on my own. Some of the greats don’t bear fruit you get one and maybe 10 years you get another… just be thankful you had an experience. He doesn’t have to Coach another team again. This journey has been 1 of 1.
