Charles Barkley says pickleball is destroying retirees’ bodies while everyone thinks it’s the safe alternative to real sports

Barkley: “There’s not a lot you can do when you get old. That’s something you two gonna be able to do when he gets older, you can’t go play basketball.”

“And let me tell you something. They got this stupid thing going around called pickleball, which is the way old people out here are getting hurt all the time.”

“My doctor friends said pickleball is the gift that keeps giving. Because all these old people are killing themselves and hurt all the time. My doctor friends are in heaven right now. Pickleball is the gift that keeps giving.”

Kittle: “It’s so dangerous. I know multiple people who’ve fallen, torn their UCL, fractured their wrist, ACL, Achilles. I am never stepping on that damn court.”

“I’ll be golfing and I’ll be in the swimming pool. That’s all I need…”

Barkley: There’s a reason people quit playing sports, because their body gives out. What makes you think when you get older you’re going to be out there… shuffling back and forth, diving and lunging?”

“My doctor friends call it the gold mine that keeps giving.”

This is one of the most famous paintings in America, and most people have no idea what they are actually looking at...

The painting is Christina's World, made by Andrew Wyeth in 1948, and the woman was real: her name was Anna Christina Olson, Wyeth's neighbour in Cushing, Maine. Since childhood a degenerative condition had slowly taken the strength from her legs, until walking was no longer possible. She refused a wheelchair, and for her entire adult life she chose to drag herself across the ground with her arms instead, going wherever she wanted to go under her own power.

Wyeth saw her one afternoon from an upstairs window, alone in that vast field, crawling slowly toward the house on the hill. He said the painting was an attempt to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless. Her world, he said, was limited physically but by no means spiritually.

That is what turns this painting from a portrait of frailty into one of the most triumphant images ever made...

Look at it long enough and it stops being about what her body took from her, and becomes about what she would not stop doing anyway. The field is enormous and she is small and the house is far away, and still she goes, because the alternative, to be carried, to give up, to let the distance win, was something she simply would not accept.

There is one more thing: Christina loved this painting. Pink was her favorite color, and Wyeth had placed her exactly where she most wanted to be, out in the open, in her own field, under her own sky. Late in her life, when she could no longer even crawl out to that field, she said something that holds the whole meaning of art inside it:

"Andy put me where he knew I wanted to be. Now that I can’t be there anymore, all I do is think of that picture, and I’m there."

The song of this little bird has a frequency of 432 Hz.
This sound helps release happy hormones like serotonin, and naturally regulates blood pressure and heart rate.

How everyone at the concert sat down and shut up and listened to her. She was hypnotic.

This crazy bird loves Dire Straits so much that it sings their songs.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

I have a PhD in political science from Oxford, focused on US foreign policy; worked as a State Dept. official in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East; and wrote a celebrated foreign policy book taught at universities like Princeton. That's why I get geopolitical questions.

Did you know there is an around the world cruise that leaves from Los Angeles ?

The cost is apparently $16,000 but considering it’s 100 days .. I guess not too crazy.

Seems like it would be a cool thing for someone with the time and money

As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as 10 Years Gone.

I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song 10 Years Gone.

Not opposed to voter ID laws, just stupid voter ID laws.
