Can't appreciate watching golf until you play it

Not a fan of Mr. Beast, but I never miss a chance to promote "The Goal", which is a story illustrating the theory of constraints in a narrative form told from the perspective of a factory manager.

Easily one of the most important books I've ever read. Bottlenecks everywhere in life.

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

The amount of commercials, especially on the final 9 was horrendous.

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

They absolutely need wall to wall coverage. A separate app is pretentious bullshit that no other major has. The exclusivity of the field and the venue is what makes the tourney not "how do we get less eyeballs"

The Par 3 is fun and is supposed to be BS.

“Overexposure” is the word I’m left with after the Masters. Demand for all things Masters is as high as ever, but they’re risking oversupply.

The thing that always made the Masters great is the perfectly curated blend of elusive and accessible, layered on nailing the details. It’s not naked, it’s perfectly covered, leaving something to the imagination.

A little mystery. The feeling that you won’t truly ever know unless you’re on the grounds.

But now, they’ve given the people what they want - more. More shots, more angles, more commentary, Pimento Cheese shipped right to your house. But, it could be argued that all this comes at a cost, and once a line is crossed, it can’t be undone. I think we all get the sense they were uncomfortably close to that line this year. From celebrities at the Par 3 to an App that had glitches to the production making bogey on the 72nd hole and the death of a commercial-free second nine.

I feel that they’re on the precipice of losing luster, and the only way to get it back will be to return to the true fundamentals, which will include deleting many of these additions we’ve had in recent years.

I’d love to hear some discussion on this - am I wrong? Am I the only one feeling this way?

@elonmusk Brother help me! I need to repair my roof and Tesla Energy is not helping me get this removal scheduled. My insurance is mandating this replacement, I gotta get it done!

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

They have probiotic Pepsi now? Maybe capitalism was a mistake lmao

God forbid the fucking sobriety requirements for free housing

[Eugene V. D.E.B.S. (2004) @sarahwaters420]

the “people are homeless because they refuse housing” line is so infuriating bc ut comes from a real place, but what people are actually refusing is parternalistic control. People do want housing, they just don’t want curfews, bureaucratic bullshit, sobriety requirements, etc.

@drawandstrike Isn't that the exact idea of constituency? Voting on your constituents' behalf?

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

Lmao I called my kid Tibor and its awesome

[Kristen Carolan @babyfeverbabe]

Baby boy names are so much harder than girls.

There are so many pretty girls names that fall in between “super common” and “weird.” Boys are either named John or Beowulf

That Ring search party feature sounds great until you realize Palantir can just use that API to find YOU

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

@RGIII Didn't understand much at all. Banger.

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

Heavy original 151 representation in that Pokémon ad btw

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

The MAGA seething on the halftime show is pretty funny when Latinos basically delivered the election.. let the people have this banger halftime show man

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

Jason Meyers superbowl MVP??

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

Lol cmon man that music slapped

[Jake Paul @jakepaul]

Purposefully turning off the halftime show

Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences

(which equals viewership for them)

You are their benefit. Realize you have power.

Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

GoT is definitely back. They're on some great stuff with AKOTSK

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

I'm sure the Chinese government in no way influenced this as a PR stunt

[HustleBitch @HustleBitch_]

🚨 AMERICAN WOMAN TESTS CHINA’S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM - NO APPOINTMENT. NO INSURANCE. $12 TOTAL. OUT IN 19 MINUTES.

An American woman films the entire process inside a public hospital in China just to see how long it actually takes to get medication.

She walks in with nothing but a passport.
No appointment. No residency requirement. No insurance.

She grabs a number, scans a QR code, pays digitally, and is seen by a doctor within minutes.
Doctor visit: $7.
Prescription: $5.
On-site pharmacy. Same building.

From the moment she entered the hospital to the moment she walked out with medication in hand?
19 minutes total.

Now compare that to America where people wait weeks to be seen, fight insurance companies on the phone, get billed hundreds or thousands of dollars, and still leave without answers.

Same human body.
Same basic medicine.
Wildly different outcome.

Why are Americans paying more, waiting longer, and still getting worse care - and who is actually benefiting from that?

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

@GrulkeLamonte Are builders still buying down rates?

[Uncle Phil @LifeOfPhil]

Are you people all insane?

[female natured @femalenatured]

Before marriage:

- She’s incentivized to be pleasant, feminine, and cooperative
- She’s still “auditioning” for the role in your life
- She knows you can walk with minimal fallout

After marriage:

- She has the ring, the contract, and the leverage (via the state)
- Natural reward super-response: once she gets what she wanted her motivation drops
- There's less incentive to “act right,” more incentive to test, control, and see what she can get away with

The game becomes: “How much can I change him / control him / upgrade my life on his back”

Women who demand conditions like marriage to stay in a relationship are like drug addicts who always want a higher dosage.

It's never enough.
