Had two loops yesterday - both good - that... couldn't have been more different than one another. Loop 1: Older guys playing forward tees (still too long for them). Quiet personalities. Mid to high handicappers visibly frustrated after poor shots or outcomes. A bit overwhelmed by difficulty of the course. Loop 2: Four players all capable of hitting around 300 yards (one dude seemed closer to 330ish - I posted video below of him hitting 3 wood on 10 so he didn't hit it over the green on 320 yard uphill par 4). All sub 5 handicaps. Didn't get frustrated once. Took everything in stride. Boisterous. Very outgoing. Thought the course was fair and easier than other Dye courses. When I go to the bag drop I don't know what I'm gonna get. It's like a little lottery. I love the variety of players - keeps things fresh. Who will I get today? Happy Tuesday, Friends! Rooting for you!show more

She's been sitting by the door for two hours.... I don't know if she's waiting for the puppy to come back or if she just somehow understands that something is different tonight. Either way I can barely watch it without falling apart. I didn't expect this part. The books tell you about the birth and the feeding schedule and the adoption process. Nobody tells you what a mama dog looks like when the house gets a little quieter than it was yesterday. And nobody told me what Koda would do either. He didn't try to distract her. Didn't nudge her away from the door. Didn't make it about him. He just walked over, sat right beside her. and stared at the same door like he was saying "I see it too. I'm right here." I have spent a lot of years learning what love looks like. I learned more in the last five minutes than in all of them combined. Three babies still here. One mama healing. One big brother who never runs out of gentle. Drop a ❤️ if this one sat heavy on your chest. I think we all need somebody who just sits beside us sometimesshow more

Deion Sanders revealed what he told TCU RB Trey... Sanders during the injury timeout👀 "I walked over to him because he was a kid that wanted to come here. The reason I didn't take him was because he sustained some significant injuries... But I still had love for the kid because he wanted to play for us. So, I went out there and I said, 'Son, now you know if you don't get up, they ain't got a chance. So I want you to get your butt up and get back in this game and be dominant like you've been.' That's what I told him. I wanted the kid to be dominant. His last name's Sanders, first of all, and he was the No. 2 on offense. That's what the conversation was."show more

16 time PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas on the... Philly golf scene getting ready to play Cricket Club tomorrow “It's spectacular. Obviously I would love to play some of the other courses: I haven't played Merion. I'm honestly kind of bummed that I hadn't played here beforehand because I selfishly would have tried to go play Merion while I was here, but I feel like it's in my best interest and my job to play the golf course that I'm playing this week. I feel like obviously to me, it's just a different style and a different look of golf up here. There's a place that's really close by that I was driving past, and they all look so cool. I kind of think of it similar to like in Scotland or Ireland: there's no bad golf courses it seems like you can play, you know what I mean? They all look so unique. They have the old templates, the old kind of architecture and the crazy green complexes, the bunkering. Just something about the bent fairways and the rye, bluegrass rough, how it just kind of shapes the hole. It looks really cool. I think that there's so many, so many great courses that I'm sure we could have tournaments like this at, but just the infrastructure and the property itself don't allow for all of it. So it's cool that we get to come to a new place like this and experience it and play it.”show more

Eben Etzebeth's post on Instagram: Hey Everyone I've been... quiet, but now that my hearing is done I think I owe everyone an explanation First of all, this is not a post to show that I was not guilty, I accept guilt. I made a mistake and I'm willing to serve a suspension which I deserve. I don't want young kids who look up to the Springboks to think that it's OK to eye gouge someone, because it's not, but unfortunately mistakes happen and I made a big one for which I'm sorry. But I'd like to answer the question - why did you do such a thing? It was a mistake caused by my reaction and other factors that played a role. Slide 1: The scuffle was basically over when Wales #7 struck me with an open hand to my chin/neck area, you can see me looking at the Assistant Referee and waiting for a reaction from him (it happened fast and it's understandable that he didn't see it) without reacting yet, I got another pull on my jersey, before I go in with the similar type of action. Slide 2: You can clearly see my first point of contact is against his shoulder with an open hand, just like he did, except he got me on the chin. Another thing worth mentioning, when he struck me, I was standing still with not a lot of movement or players trying to get involved. When I went for the same open hand towards his shoulder, you'll see 2 Welsh players changing the dynamic of the entire picture as well as one of my teammates pulling Wales #7 around his neck away from my hand and where my force is going. Slide 3: Another Camera Angle So why did I post this? To try and show people how everything happened and that it was never intentional. I would never do something like this on purpose, I know what the consequences will be after playing rugby for a few years. Thanks to everyone that stood by me and thought the best of me. I'm sorry for letting you and the game down. That was my first red card since I started playing. I want it to be my last. To the people that were angry and upset with my actions, I understand - because it didn't look good on the slow motion replay and hopefully you've got a bit more context now.show more

Dustin Johnson opened LIV Golf Andalucia with a 5... over par 76. Since then he’s shot rounds of 3 under par 68, and a sensational 7 under par 64 today, with the most nonchalant ace ever, to climb into the top 5 at Valderrama. He spoke about the bounce back after the round: “Yeah, I know it's weird, but I didn't play bad the first day. It was like everything that could -- missed quite a few putts and hit a lot of good shots and ended up in bad spots. Yeah, I didn't feel like -- it was a really easy 5-over. Then obviously came back and played really nicely the last two days. Even today, I know I shot 7-under which is a really good score, but I played the par-5s even. “Yeah, I'm happy, obviously very happy with the score and very pleased with how I'm swinging the golf club.” DJ hasn’t won anywhere in the world for more than 2 years. He’ll start tomorrow 5 shots off the lead of Tyrrell Hatton. Dustin Johnson 4Aces GC LIV Golfshow more

Back in January 2025 when I moved into my... new home, I found Biscuit. He was being chased by dogs, and I took him in. Biscuit and I instantly bonded. He rode with me in my truck. He would chill on my shoulders when I walked around the house. He slept with me. He was truly my friend. When I posted about Biscuit when I found him, everybody loved him. He's was truly a unique cat. I didn't post about what happened to him, because it took me a long time to process. One day, earlier this year, Biscuit got out and was hit by a car. We never found out who did it. I was the one who found him. All I could do was bury him and mourn him. I've been around a lot of animals in my life. I love them, and I'll protect them at all costs. But I'll never get over losing Biscuit. Ever. The first pic is Biscuit when I found him. The others are when he settled in and I got him cleaned up. I miss you, buddy. I really do. Vale, Biscuit. Until I see you again.show more

I just launched a brand new channel with an... INSANE strategy. I'm calling it the Launch Loop. I've been working on this channel for over a year, and took the actually massive risk to hold off on posting until I had all 5 launch videos ready. Each idea was carefully selected for this strategy, and each one was carefully written to execute it. I view this channel launch, and these videos, not as individual videos but as a season of a new show. The plan was this: come up with video ideas that fit together, and write the end of each video to smoothly blend into the next. I treated the conclusion of each video as if it was the intro of the next video, so that if people enjoyed what I made and wanted to see more, they could click the next video on the End Card This was inspired by work I've done in the past: a few years ago on my YouTube strategy channel, I posted a video about Ryan Trahan's thumbnail strategy which has gotten over 2M lifetime views. But at the end of that video, I carefully wrote a transition showing video my comprehensive breakdown of 21 thumbnail formats. The End Screen video CTR on that video is 29.4% 🤯. I'm convinced that some of those 2M views must have come from the success of that end screen. I've come to believe that it's really important to bring in an audience to your CHANNEL, not just one video. That was a mistake I made in another channel I worked on before! Getting virality on individual videos, but not keeping viewers for the long term or growing an actualy community. So I thought, what if I launched a channel where every video pointed to the next, in a loop? Maybe there will be a flywheel where success on one brings success on the next, and the next, and the next... But for this plan to work the videos I made have to actually be good 😅show more

This one hurts me deeply 🥺💔 I'm not sure... where to start but Rachaad White 1️⃣ has been my main favorite player over the years ever since he got drafted by the Bucs. If you didn't know, I'm the biggest Rachaad White fan in the world. One day back in 2023, I was at Bucs Training Camp and I took a vid of Rachaad practicing and tagged him on X. He then commented and said if I needed anything, just reach out to him. So a month later I did and he reached back out to me and I met him at pregame before the Bucs preseason game against the Ravens, it was truly one of the best days of my life. Then a year later, I reached out back to him to see if he could sign my Rachaad jersey and he did, another one of the best days of my life. He's truly a man of his word, a down to earth guy, a great guy on & off the field, and like I always say how can you not love him. Every single home game since before when the players come out the tunnel, you can only hear me in my section screaming, “RACHAAD WHITEEEE, LETS GOOOOOOO WOOOOO" and now I'm going to miss that 😞💔 Rachaad's also the reason why I started listening to Rod Wave 😂😂 I know players come and go but this one truly means a lot to me. 🙏🙏 I never saw the day you would be in a different uniform man 😢 I'll miss all the good memories, touchdowns you had in front of me live or on tv and I'll miss seeing him in a Bucs jersey running on that field at RayJay. 😭💔 Thank you for everything you have done for me and for the Bucs, Rachaad, good luck on your next journey 🙏🙏 I love you my guy and much love, UNO 🤞🏻🙏❤️1️⃣ #WeAreTheKrewe (my photo and videos)show more

Coffee thoughts - I’m not sure Candace is coming... back. “I want to thank Baron for telling me it was time to do this”. “Thank you to everyone that’s been on this journey it’s been a heavy one.” “Today went a lot different than I thought it was going to be” Just for the record the court filing I posted last night was to get more time to respond and to go from 25 pages to 35 pages on why the court case with Harpole should be dismissed for “Failure to state a claim”. She’s trying to get it dismissed before it goes to discovery. Put the paperwork in AI it will give you the specifics. We all knew it was coming. The money it takes to fight these suits is insane. She’d be stupid to not try to get it dismissed. And Tennessee has more laws protecting public figures so it would be easier to get dismissed than in Delaware (that doesn’t) with the Macrons. I still think more happened yesterday. And the way she was acting just gives me this maybe it for a bit. Maybe I’m wrong but I knew yesterday something was up. Her video seemed more directed at making her last claims on everyone than continuing the attack. There was nothing there for an emergency video. She’s heavily pregnant, she’s run out of material, she’s being sued and the cases are coming up, she has 4 kids about to be 5 and you can only attack people so long with the same accusations. The trial is coming up that will disprove the conspiracies. Or maybe she just wanted one last show until she gets back. I still question if maybe another lawsuit dropped. We shall see. Off to vacation myself. Apparently we are going to Spain. (Joking).show more

I'm sick and tired of all you so-called republicans... switching sides whenever it suits you. Either stand by our president or just go over to the other side where you belong. So what he is offering is $5,000. Yes, I know he offered money before, and we didn't get it, but it's not in his control. The left is doing all they can to stop him again, and they are the ones to blame for us not getting anything. I will stand by President Donald Trump and would vote for him again if I could. So sick of people whining when they don't like something he did or didn't do. It could be worse; Kamala could be your President. Then how would you feel?show more

Bryson DeChambeau’s next event after LIV Golf Andalucia is... the US Open, where he’ll attempt to win his 3rd gold medal. He spoke to Flushing It Golf at Valderrama about his preparation ahead of Shinnecock Hills and whether he feels any pressure after missing the last 2 cuts in majors: “Well, Valderrama is a ball striker's golf course. So you have to control your golf ball and hit the right shots under the gun with a lot of wind out here. It really is a great ball strikers paradise. The same as, you know, in the US Open. I think this is a great test.” Bryson shot rounds of 70, 71, 71 and 70 to finish T11 at Valderrama. Does he feel any pressure to perform after missing the cut at the Masters and the PGA Championship? “No. To be honest, missed cuts are gonna happen. I might miss all 4 of them in majors this year. That's just golf. Like, I’m playing great. I just haven't shown up when it mattered most. But I've played well out here on LIV, and I’m working on my golf swing really hard, and, I feel like it's in a really solid place. It's very close to some of my best golf ever. “Last week (in Korea) I had a great opportunity to win for the third time this year and didn't close the door. And that's just more learning, you know, if I had a little bit more knowledge of what to do in the golf swing, to get the ball to go straight in a few scenarios. I could have taken that championship down too. “So, I feel like I'm actually playing the most consistent I've ever played on LIV, which is great. And I think it's attributed to the switch to four rounds. No question.” Bryson says he’s going to head to Shinnecock early to get some extended work in and thinks it will be a huge benefit after not playing the course since the 2018 US Open. If he were to win it, he would join Tiger Woods and Hale Irwin as the only players to win 3 gold medals. It would also put him just 1 championship shy of equalling the all time US Open winners record of 4, held by Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and Willie Anderson. So, as he’s a great student of golf history, does he ever think about it? “I'm very blessed to have done what I've done so far. But I'm still trying to pursue as many wins as I can, and, with the time and opportunity, I’d love to have a chance to win some more.” Bryson DeChambeau Crushers GC LIV Golf U.S. Openshow more

I'm a bit confused about $XRP. I don't know... if I'm the only one who feels this way, but I'd really like to know if anyone else feels the same way. I bought it in 2022 and have held it ever since. While I still believe in it deep down, my hopes are slowly fading. I see some so-called experts coming out to predict prices, and sometimes I start to believe those hype stories. To be honest, I just hope it will one day rise to $10. If it really reaches $10, I'll be overjoyed. But at the same time, I don't know if it will reach $5 this year or next. I'm a long-term holder and don't expect to get rich overnight. I just want to hear the opinions of people who genuinely believe it still has potential and a future. Even if it's only $2 higher than my average purchase price, I'll be very happy. #XRP #Crypto #Rippleshow more

They didn't just drain my wallet. They erased dedication... of who I've been in this space. I logged into OpenSea and MetaMask 🦊 today and everything was gone. The collections. The dedication. The communities. The Money. All of it, transferred out by someone who was never part of any of it. I never wanted to exit. I was a long term holder of projects I believed in and someone reached in and ripped that status away from me in minutes. It's not only the money. It's the Azuki Elemental that was my face here (PFP). The Beanz beside it. NORMIES , Non Playable Character , Finalbosu , fwog , The Del Mundos , The Florentines , R3ORDR , DropDedGorgez , Persona , Goblynz , ok guy , and so many more. Every one of those was a community I showed up for. Today I lost my seat in all of them at once. I had 2FA. Biometrics. I did the things you're told to do. And it still happened. That's the part that breaks me and the part that should scare all of us. The thief moved everything here: 🔴 0x7d188b4775990ed60e6393cf0903e44d212f03c1 They listed and sold some collections. Kept the grails. That wallet is sitting on my history right now. I've filed with IC3 ( Internet Crime Complain Center ) and documented everything. A few of the transactions I never made: NORMIES 0x431284f5174a8bd4f5074e91d2995f6e1e9f47926ea536281019a46e22a2fccc Azuki 0x5fb949e4bd7c080bf00e6e1547415468ae7dfdc47eb1fbe0797d73535ab0b79d and 0x2fccbc819284592e8e564eb87e10d1a4a250e31d24cc53eb23b927203cee9e1e Non Playable Character 0x42a0fe586bcff5f5e8a934c59b1c4390dfbef85af76567a93a6cc55c7758659c To the founders and communities I was part of: I didn't leave. I didn't sell. I was taken. If you see these pieces move, you know where they came from. I haven't lost faith in this space. But I won't lie .. today I feel like I'm starting from zero, without the place I'd earned. That hurts more than the number ever could. I am in tears and completely destroyed mentally. Watch your wallets. Revoke what you don't recognize. Don't assume "doing everything right" makes you safe. I thought I was.show more

It’s been 24 hours, and I’m still trying to... process losing Harry. For the last two years, Harry and I spoke almost every day. We had both been through a lot in life, and somehow we randomly connected at Satoshi Roundtable. We quickly realized our worlds had crossed in more ways than we knew, including mutual friends going all the way back to the early YC days. Harry became much more than a friend. He taught me an enormous amount. He challenged the way I thought. He was, without question, one of the smartest people I have ever known. I want to say this publicly because whatever people may read about Harry or the circumstances surrounding his death, I want people to know the human being I knew. Harry had one of the biggest hearts. He was extraordinarily intelligent, deeply curious, generous with what he knew, and relentlessly progressive in how he thought about technology and the future. He came from very little, built an extraordinary life and fortune, and never lost his willingness to share what he had learned with the people around him. There are still many unanswered questions about what happened, and I’m not prepared to draw conclusions. I hope the truth becomes clear in time. For now, I want to focus on Harry’s life, not his death. He taught a lot of people a lot of things. I was fortunate enough to be one of them. I’ll carry those lessons forward for the rest of my life. Love you very much, Harry. Thank you for everything. ❤️ Harry Yeh 葉俊德show more

❤️DO YOU REALLY KNOW KIM SEOKJIN? If you know... more about him, read this❤️ Op introducing a comment found on Kian’s B& B YouTube It’s 2019 KBS Song Festival BTS Stages she ‘s talking about, and here’s the video clip of the jacket moment, watch SeokJin at the end of the clip! 🗣️ I am writing this comment because I want to record something I remember about SeokJin ☺️ In the winter of the year the pandemic hit, the last year-end before the pandemic, I was lucky enough to win a spot for the pre-recording of a year-end stage, and I spent almost 5 to 6 hours with BTS. What was even luckier was that my assigned spot was in top 10%, so I was quite close to the stage. That year, the time given to BTS for the year-end stage was over 30 minutes, it was like a mini concert. They did pre-recordings for several songs while changing the stage sets and also did rehearsal for the next day’s live broadcast, so I was able to watch them closely for a long time. And the one who left the strongest impression on me, even more than my bias, was SeokJin. When the PD-nim had messages or directions to convey to the members about the stage, or when he had something to discuss, he mostly communicated with SeokJin. And SeokJin took on the role of relaying all the messages to the other members. While managing the stage, if there were small details like, for example, if a jacket taken off during the performance was left there when it might get caught on camera and look messy, so make sure to throw it over to the back of the set, things like that. Jin relayed all those messages and directions to the members, and if there were members who couldn’t follow that direction, he quietly took care of small details behind the scenes, like quickly tossing away the jacket that was left behind when the camera was on other members. He was handling those little details behind the scene quietly alone with care, that was my impression. Even though he's the eldest, he's not the leader, not the main vocalist, nor the choreography leader, so when BTS is all together, I personally feel that the spotlight rarely shines on him. Also, since he's not the type of hyung who bosses around other members, saying, "I'm your senior," it’s probably not easy for SeokJin to leave a strong impression (*to casual viewers/general public) But the deeper you look into BTS, the more you see that SeokJin is a true gem, quietly working behind the scenes and taking good care of his younger members with a genuinely beautiful heart. While watching SeokJin for hours in moments that weren’t captured on camera, what I felt was that he’s truly sincere, attentive and meticulous, leading by examples with a strong sense of responsibility. And while taking care of everything like that, he’s not interested in taking credit for the things he did, he just quietly accomplished everything without drawing attention, his presence was like salt and light, I felt. I think this is why there are so many heartwarming stories about SeokJin in the entertainment industry. Seeing his good characters that I saw get recognized in detail through this variety show, and feeling like many people will come to appreciate his integrity, somehow it makes me feel really happy. #Jin #방탄소년단진 #진 방탄소년단show more

Everything that money buys is not valuable. My daughter's life and safety are better than all the money.. As long as you are by my side, I will not fear anything.. My friends and loved ones.. After careful examination, we confirmed that Julia was suffering from jaundice Therefore, doctors recommend not giving up canned foods and looking for fresh foods for them. Julia is really getting better and better. This improvement is because of your standing by my side, my friends.. I am very grateful to every person who stood by me and supported me in order to bring happiness to the heart of my child, Julia.

This is the account given by the woman featured... in the video: A neighbor's Pit Bull kept escaping just to come sit on my porch. When I finally figured out why, I laughed before doing anything else. Not exactly the reaction my son - or even I - was expecting. For months, no one could make sense of it. He belonged to the family across the street. Young couple, two boys, the kind of household that refreshed their yard every spring and treated painting trim like a weekend project. And still... their dog kept leaving. Not to chase anything. Not to get into trouble. Not even to explore. He would cross the street, climb up my steps, and sit right at my front door like he had somewhere to be. The tirst time, I assumed he was lost. The second time, I figured their gate wasn't secure. By the third time, even his owners looked a little embarrassed — like this wasn't misbehavior anymore, it was determination. "I'm so sorry," the wife said one day, standing in my yard with an empty leash, slightly out of breath. "He got out again... and came straight here." I looked at him. Big head. White chest. Soft amber eyes beneath a face that would usually make people hesitate. There he was, sitting calmly on my porch in the quiet mountain sun, as steady as if he belonged there. When I opened the door, he didn't run. Didn't bark. He just leaned his warm body against my leg and let out a long, contented sigh. That was six years after my husband passed. Six years of living alone in Flagstaff. Six years of one cup, one plate, one empty side of the bed. People kept telling me I should get a dog, like love was something you could just pick back up when you felt ready. But I had already lost one great love. I wasn't looking for another bond that would one day leave me counting the silence again. So when that dog kept choosing my porch instead of his own home... I didn't feel chosen. I telt trapped. I just didn't know by what. It took time to understand. It wasn't pressure. It wasn't loss waiting to happen. It was something gentler. He wasn't replacing anything. He wasn't asking for anything I couldn't give. He just showed up. Again and again. Until the quiet didn't feel so heavy anymore. Eventually, his family and I stopped apologizing back and forth and started laughing about it instead. We worked out a rhythm — he'd visit, I'd keep the door open, and somehow, it all just fit. Now, he still comes by. Not because he's escaping. But because he has two homes. And for the first time in years, mine doesn't feel empty anymore.show more

Manuel Neuer was asked to choose between Cristiano Ronaldo... and Lionel Messi as the best player, and this was his response: 🗣️ Manuel Neuer: “Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are both monsters and great players. Of course, we all know they are two different types of players. I was privileged to play against both of them during my career, especially when they were in their prime, but I have to say I suffered more against Cristiano Ronaldo than Lionel Messi. No matter how tight or strong our defense was, he always found a way to score. I think he is the player who has scored more goals against me than any other player I’ve faced. Cristiano can score with his left foot, right foot, and head. He can score all types of goals and even create space for his teammates. So, for me, I would pick Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi because he’s just a different breed the most complete player I’ve ever seen.”show more
