Read, watch, listen, learn.

“Learning how to think” really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.

@anishmoonka Todd Alquist in Breaking Bad at least gets honorable mention. Maybe closer to reality than Chigurh. Cold blooded, but normal looking - without the literary philosophical manifesto.

@kerrodgraygolf Very helpful. If you over focus on "make a big turn", the clubhead can lag behind and feel heavy. Then - counter to your intent - the shoulders stop turning to provide ballast against that heaviness. Set the club sooner and the shoulders will continue to make that big turn.

@FranWalsh73 Great thread.

401K with matching using index funds over 30+ years guarantees your contributions beat the market handily.

That's magical, but employers don't sell it enough. Free money. Or, an instantaneous one time, multi-year, long term market return every time you contribute.

@TrueFactsStated Good takedown of cryptocurrency - all of it:

@Angry_Staffer @What46HasDone Iran also has cyber capabilities that could actually affect the U.S. homeland.

@carlawalworth You're getting good advice in the comments.

If you're T2, I highly recommend getting a prescription for a cgm patch, if only for a couple of months (I use FreeStyle Libre 3).

It really shows you how your body reacts to meals, timing, etc.

@thespybrief
I see Boone NC got hit hard by Helene. I hope @ChrisANethery and his family are doing okay - no posts since the 26th. Other TSBers were probably affected too.

@thespybrief This was the post that showed me his genius.

Multiple levels of masterful satire in one tweet.

BREAKING: Even though it is just a Danish province and not a sovereign country, Finland has been voted in as member of NAFTA. Congrats to the Finnish President, Saranwrap Marlin, and the ten thousand people who live there on this historic achievement.

@aspiringpeasant @oregon_ryan Yes. Ground meat can be in a flat patty or chunks.

Add some powdered onion soup mix for extra flavor.

@RadioFreeTom @RadioFreeTom

I also wonder if Vince Gilligan saw this movie before writing Breaking Bad...

@3YearLetterman

Heads up, Coach.

This account owner may have a championship ring or two...

@aspiringpeasant I bet you would be good at it, as would the others commenting.

In-community role models are best, but maybe online solutions are possible if you could avoid the personality cult effect. Rotate both role models and kids talking and asking real questions, without agendas.

@RexChapman @RexChapman @DBarkhuff
Both of you are excellent human beings and I hope you won't let one exchange cement your views of each other.

Rex, you inspire people everywhere daily. Dan an ER doc/Seal helps VT Afghan translators and families adjust in the U.S.

@RadioFreeTom Heh, you said "cut out"

[Brian Hewitt @brihew]

@thespybrief This paper describes what you're saying - not just echo chambers, but also "partisan sorting."

@privateeractual @privateeractual @DBarkhuff is back online, if you haven't found him already

@WolfVanHalen @MammothWVH

You guys were amazing in Baltimore last night. Made my daughter's birthday present special. She's a young metal guitarist and appreciated "Yeah, we can do metal!", but is a new fan thanks to all the other songs.

[Brian Hewitt @brihew]

@privateeractual You still did the right thing.

Might just take more time. Probably a lot going on for him.

[Brian Hewitt @brihew]

@Angry_Staffer But let's hope that carrier strike group has assumed all Iranian TS intel to have been compromised and made "other" plans.

[Brian Hewitt @brihew]

@TheRealHoarse @drvolts Very impressive and without mentioning "synergy."
