I just learned about a concept, I can't stop thinking about.
The Four Burner Theory.
It destroyed Elon Musk's first marriage.
It explains why Bezos is jacked but divorced.

> Thomas Tuchel on Arsenal's players set-piece threat:
"When you watch Arsenal closely, you realise their set-pieces are not luck, they're an art form. Every movement is rehearsed, every block is timed, every player knows exactly where the ball will arrive. What impresses me most is the commitment of the players. They treat a corner in the 5th minute with the same importance as a penalty in the 95th.
Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and the other Arsenal boys bring that mentality into the England camp. They understand the details. They understand that trophies are often decided by moments, and set-pieces create those moments.
Modern football is about margins. Arsenal have turned those margins into a weapon. You can spend all week preparing for their open play, but if you switch off for one corner or one free-kick, they punish you. That's why they are so dangerous and why every coach in Europe studies them."
— Thomas Tuchel
A rule that will lower your anxiety: Don’t replay conversations you can’t change, and don’t pre-live ones that haven’t happened. Focus on the next right action. Most stress comes from living everywhere except the present.
For 22 years, the old Arsenal artillery has remained silent and dormant, gathering dust, gathering doubt. But this season has lit the fuse. After 22 years of gloom, it's about to go BOOM. The Arsenal cannon fires again. 22 years of wait, Arsenal roar like it's 2004.
ICONIC. 🔴⚪
