@BarstoolClemson @DeAndreHopkins This moment and the FG that followed laid the foundation for the 6 year run to the playoffs

I’m hopeful there will be another moment in the next few years that has a similar impact

Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.

@be_like_ice I was the most mature / responsible 18 year old

4 years later and then for the next 10 years I was the least mature / worst decision maker ever

Autism is a lifelong condition often characterised by:
-an inability to bullshit
-a pathological need for fairness
-a compulsion to help others
-an inexplicable need to expose hypocrisy
-an excessive tendency to let other people be
There is no known cure 🙄.

“Why can people with ADHD spend 10 hours on something they love, but struggle to do 10 minutes of something they hate?”

Because ADHD isn’t really an attention deficit.

It’s an interest-based nervous system.

If something is stimulating, urgent, emotionally rewarding, novel, or deeply interesting, the ADHD brain can lock in so intensely that time disappears completely. No hunger. No fatigue. No distractions. Just pure hyperfocus.

But when a task feels boring, repetitive, emotionally empty, or forced?

The brain reacts like you’re trying to push two magnets together backwards.

That’s why someone with ADHD can:

- research a random topic until 4AM
- build an entire business idea overnight
- learn every detail about a new hobby in one weekend

…but still struggle to:

- answer one email
- fold laundry
- make one phone call
- start an assignment they actually care about

BREAKING: President Trump announces that 9/11 hero Welles Crowther will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Known as “The Man in the Red Bandana,” Crowther repeatedly ran back into the South Tower on 9/11 to help others escape, saving as many as 18 lives before losing his own.

Allison Crowther said her son’s legacy continues to endure nearly 25 years later: “Welles’ light still shines brightly.”

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear.

It migrated inward.

Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space.

That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons.

So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public.

The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it.

The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open.

The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility.

That is the trade.

A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation.

This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question.

The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults.

It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation.

The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.
