20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.

Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.

The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

Tony Gwynn had more seasons batting over .360 (7) than seasons striking out 40+ times (0).

In a sport where even Hall of Famers routinely strike out 80–150 times a year, he never reached 41 strikeouts in any season of his career. That's the kind of stat that sounds impossible today

Michael Jordan won 25 of the his last 26 playoff series to end his career 👀🐐

👀 Why is The Swamp so impossible to drain?

Because $115 MILLION per hour is at stake.

That’s the massive web of corruption spanning BOTH parties — where D.C. uses illicit funds to control federal, state, and local governments for their own bidding.

Absolutely appalling.

Who benefits when the gravy train never stops?

Matt Mclain turned a strikeout into a walk by challenging three pitches in one at-bat

Julio Rodriguez is a class act. This kid will remember that small interaction for the rest of his life 🥹

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

The thing I wish my 14-year-old self knew earlier.

I made everything bigger than it was.

(This is a life lesson, too)

Every at-bat felt like the whole season was on the line.

Game 7 of the World Series with 50k people watching.

And that's the thing that beat me. Not the pitcher. That exact feeling.

Self-imposed pressure.

You make it up in your head.

The pitch is the only real thing in front of you.

One pitch.
Simple, focused.

Everything else, let it go.

It's this pitch. Then the next one.

Just like you're in the backyard with the boys, where nothing exists but the ball coming in.

Not thinking about girls.
The chores you gotta do.
What's for dinner.

Compete like crazy on that one pitch. Give it everything you've got.

Just don't drag a hundred things into the box that don't need to be there.

One pitch. The only real thing.
Win it, then go win the next one.

That's the advice I've sent to hitters that struggle with the same thing, and it's worked really well.

Paul Skenes was driving by a Little League field and decided to stop by 🥹

He played catch and talked with the kids for over two hours the night before he pitches against the Dodgers at PNC Park 👏

When MJ was asked about LeBron James teaming up with Wade & Bosh in Miami:

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team.' In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Hard is the lesson.

“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”

@CoachDanCasey The only position group that can control a game

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

The Offensive Line doesn’t need any other position to be good. Every other position needs the Offensive Line to be good.

The most important position group in football.

First time since 1976, 50 YEARS, there is not a team from the state of California or Florida in the College World Series

We're up to 6 Ball State baseball alumni to have played in the big leagues this year after Drey Jameson got called up by the Diamondbacks on Saturday!
