Dennis Gates appeared to have some choice words for Tamar Bates after Bates appeared to be yapping at the Bama bench following a late basket. One of those words appeared to have four letters and start with an F.

Jerry Seinfeld was once thinking about golf announcers whispering.

He then found something in his notebook about how people whisper when they talk about tipping.

"Now we make what's called a charm bracelet," Seinfeld says in this 144-second masterclass on the creative process:

When you notice a commonality between two or more things, Seinfeld explains,

"You say, 'Oh there's something there.' And now we make what's called a charm bracelet: You take these things and you find a way to associate them."

"So that's the process: I'm thinking about this [one] thing and then remember this [other] thing, and then you go, 'Oh there's something there—let me connect those 2 things.'"

Takeaway 1:

Whether it's in a notebook like Seinfeld, on notecards, in Apple Notes or a Notion database—many great artists have a habit of capturing the interesting thoughts or ideas they come across.

The comedian George Carlin said his capture habit started because...

“I had a boss in radio when I was 18 years old, and my boss told me to write down every idea I get even if I can’t use it at the time...and have a system for filing it away—because a good idea is of no use to you unless you can find it…"

A lot of creativity, Carlin said, “is discovery. A lot of things are lying around waiting to be discovered and that’s our job is to just notice them and bring them to life.”

That's what Seinfeld did: he noticed the various contexts in which people whisper and brought them to life.

Takeaway 2:

The great fantasy and science fiction writer Brandon Sanderson says,

“The way that human creativity works is by combination. That’s what we’re really good at. We don’t come up with a completely new creature. We put a horn on a horse and go, ‘Look at that, that’s cool.’ That’s how we create on a fundamental level.”

“Creativity equals connecting previously unrelated experiences and insights that others don’t see.” — Steve Jobs

Last night was @BlairOaksHoops 50th consecutive regular-season win in Tri-County Conference play. That's ... phenomenal.

Also, the Falcons lost well more than 75% of their scoring and are 17-9 this season. @CoachRyanFick45 deserves a ton of praise. https://t.co/e87RflnJqJ

The weather outside is getting frightful, but the city of Madison Fleet Service isn’t worried thanks to their fleet of trucks running on B100. See how they are lowering their carbon emissions with biodiesel year-round: https://t.co/uw4BgUMcqe
