After my sixth negative covid test result, I would like to announce that my immune system has now officially become bowl eligible

The humble apple is perfectly designed to sit flat on a table. Easy to see why they’re beloved by teachers. Unlike the contemptible orange which is prone to rolling away.

Your son sacrificed his life for this country during Operation Fortnite Chungus. Thank you, epic style.

Again: Netanyahu has wanted war with Iran for 30 years

(And also helped drag us into Iraq)

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

[Dan Carlin @dccommonsense]

If your values change every time the president changes his values then quite frankly you have none.
You're just a toady at that point.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

every so often a human being does something that rewires how the rest of the world think about what's possible

before these moments, the achievement existed only as a fairy tale, ambitious but delusional
after? it became a target

4 minute mile, someone broke it, dozen followed. the ceiling wasn't physical, it was psychological. someone just had to go first

but all these breakthroughs share underlying logic. push harder, grind, better outcome. peak human performance has always been measured by results. the blood, sweat and tears are just the admission ticket

but alysa liu broke a different kind of ceiling. what she showed was not a new record. she showed that the highest form of human potential is enjoying the process. the courage to say if the pursuit of winning kills the joy of doing, you've already lost the thing that actually mattered

we live in the age of AI. doomers are afraid of getting replaced. you tie your identity to your output. if you are programmer, claude code writes better lines faster. if you are an analyst, claude crunches numbers in seconds. what's left of you is a shell of nothingness

alysa liu shows us that we have been asking the wrong question

a machine can eventually land a triple axel triple lutz triple toe with perfection. but that doesn't compare to what alysa liu did. the falls, the morning ice, the moment your body finally understands the rotation. the meaning was never in the landing but the learning and act of doing it

people who struggle most in this age are the ones who were already disconnected from the experience. the ones who were every only in there for the output, the status, the paycheck. blame AI all you want, but it did not create the emptiness. it just made it impossible to ignore

the ones who would thrive are the ones who were already doing things because the doing itself was the point. the programmer who loves the puzzle. the filmmaker who writes because it's a story she wants to express. the violinist who finds something close to nirvana in the music. for them AI is just another tool in a practice that was always about something deeper than the outcome

what alysa showed the world, with or without the medal is: decouple your worth from your output. the outcome was never the point. the act of doing, fully, happy, on your own teams, that was always the real feat. just like every other paradigm-breaking achievements before it, now someone has shown us it's possible, and the rest of us can follow
