They’ll understand

They’ll never understand us..

I THINK THEY’LL UNDERSTAND 😭

one day they’ll understand your greatness.

If I talk now, they’ll say I’m hating on... a small boy. ‘You suppose understand.’ Understand what exactly? 😂😂😂 Anyways jamb form is out 😂show more

People tried to normalise this so there’s no way... they’ll be able to understand that record breaking spring heat might be bad.show more

When people start complaining about stores going out of... business, closing, or products being locked up, just show them this video and they’ll understand why.show more

Kilburn M&S I don’t understand why I bother paying... for anything. The only way to stop this seems to be if everyone starts stealing then they’ll have no choice but to tackle it Scumbagsshow more

I don’t understand this whole Blueface & Chrisean drama.... They stay bringing up big names, chasing clout. But then 3 days later be all over eachother on IG live. It’s a cycle and the internet loves mess so they’ll still give it attention.show more

I understand the gather step… but this feels like... a travel to me. It’s 3 steps but they’ll never call it because now the NBA allows a “gather” step. #Timberwolves get fouled clearly on a challenge & they can’t even use the video evidence so they end up in this position.show more

Putin says Russia will halt hostilities if Ukraine pulls... out from territories Moscow claims, otherwise, they’ll take them by force. He also whined that he didn’t expect new U.S. sanctions on Russian oil firms, claiming there were “no conflicts” with Washington after the Alaska summit. “I don’t even understand what’s happening,” he said.show more

Yeah, I know the Mookie video gets overused… but... what he says here is absolute gold. Some of the best info on social media, period. Mookie shows how going back lets the lat pull the top arm. In a game, when he lets that move flow into the ground, the chain fires correctly: ground → pelvis → torso/lat → hands. That’s why the barrel turns from the middle instead of being pushed. Trevor Bauer explains the same thing on the mound: rotation pulls the lat, the arm just whips through. Swing or throw it’s the same principle. Stay connected, let rotation compress into landing, and the sequence works. Cut it off, and you’re just pushing. And here’s the truth: Once you understand this connection as a parent or coach, you can’t mess a kid up it’s how the body naturally moves around center mass. The mistake comes from listening to people who’ve never taken health or fitness seriously. If they don’t understand how the body sequences, they’ll lead you down the wrong road. This isn’t a “method.” It’s just how the body works. And the barrel path? It’s not something you force behind center it happens because the sequence is right.show more

When Higgsfield reached out to me, the offer felt... too good to be true. After they gave me a one-year Creator plan to test the platform, I honestly couldn’t wrap my head around the level of creativity possible with AI tools. I don’t really understand the propaganda against them on the TL, but I’ve used the tool, and this is just one of the many things I tried with it. I wasn’t expecting them to pay, especially since their X account was taken down yesterday, but they still showed up. Keep showing up. You never really know who’s watching. I’m sure they’ll get their account back. And just to be clear, I don’t run any mentorship about Higgsfield. My DMs are already full. This was simply a random brand collaboration. I focus on YouTube automation, and this is a solid tool, especially with everything going on around the inauthentic content issue.show more

Obviously this guy is just grasping at straws in... a feeble attempt to defend #AI (as if he cares about people), but it does remind me of something important… Me and every director I knew made every effort possible to get to know our outsourcing studio animators (they were people… humans… artists… not an algorithm). I would say stuff like, “This scene’s got a fire monster… I’ll bet you have someone there who loves drawing fire, right?” and I’d hear them laugh and say (through the translator) “We’ve got three… we’ll let them fight over it!” They weren’t faceless drones… they were part of the team to me. Moreover, I was taught that the best way to ensure that they weren’t overworked was by making sure that everything we ever sent was clear, detailed and easy to understand. There were lots of “They’ll fix it in Korea” directors. We referred to them as “hacks.” And we shunned them. Because we cared.show more

“I was forced, with my wife and my three... daughters, to shoot 550 deer that I spent 20-some years raising. I didn’t really know what PTSD was until that.” Jason Smith’s testimony is just one of the stories Canadians heard over three days of NCI hearings in High River. Tomorrow on NCI LIVE, Chair Ted Kuntz is joined by NCI Board members Kari Simpson and John Graff for a look back at the High River hearings. They’ll talk about the experience of the hearings, the quality and breadth of the testimony, some of the moments that stood out, and some of the challenges encountered along the way. But to truly understand what happened in that hearing room, you need to hear the witnesses themselves. Watch Jason’s clip. Join us LIVE tomorrow. Then take the time to watch the three full days of testimony and experience the record for yourself. Thursday, August 27 4 PM Pacific | 7 PM Eastern Watch the High River hearings: Because Truth Matters.show more

I want parents to really think about this. Imagine... paying good money for lessons because you care about your daughter’s long-term development… and the first thing you’re told is that “swinging down isn’t correct.” Instead it’s barrel depth, elite path, and swinging up because “that’s what the pros do.” That’s where development goes backwards. Most young athletes aren’t broken they’re underdeveloped in movement. They don’t understand shoulder angles, how to get on top of the ball, situational hitting, or how the body actually organizes a swing. That’s not their fault. That’s instruction skipping steps. In my cage, athletes do not swing up first. They have to earn the right to swing up by first owning the down. We stay at the top of the zone, learn how to find the down, and teach how the shoulders orient the swing. The up isn’t cued or forced it’s a byproduct of correct movement. What floors me is how often kids, especially in softball, are taught to swing up immediately. How do you start middle-down and swing up in a sport where the ball is traveling on an upward plane? It makes no sense. Baseball and softball mechanics are the same the body doesn’t change. But instruction must start differently because pitch plane is different. Baseball breaks down. Softball rise spins up. If a softball hitter can’t control the down out front, they’ll never handle elite rise. Once control is there, the femur turns down, the torso gets pulled up, and the natural up shows itself. No forcing. No manipulation. I can post videos like this all day. I’m not teaching a “style.” I’m teaching how the body is designed to move. I’m demanding because parents invest real time and money, and I won’t waste either. If you want game swings that hold up to velocity and plane find the down!show more

First Mission: The Ghost Ship (Part 4) #Amalgaverse [An... away team made up of Colonel Jack O’Neill, Dr. Daniel Jackson, the android/AI Rommie, and Dr. Rodney McKay has been dispatched to investigate a seemingly derelict freighter. The ship’s service android, Maia, helps them gain access to the bridge where they are presented with three crucial tasks: A) Acquiring crucial data from the ship’s computer, B) Investigating a fast-fading life sign, and C) Going to engineering and venting the drive before the core goes critical.] Jack makes the call. They’ll split up. Maia and McKay will head to engineering to vent the drive. He and Daniel will investigate the life sign. And Rommie will remain on the bridge to decipher the corrupted data. Maia leads the way to engineering, McKay trotting alongside her to keep pace. He tries to make conversation as they go, asking her how long she’s served aboard the Waldorf Astoria. She tells him she was commissioned for the freighter’s nine hundred and fifty-sixth voyage, a little over eight years ago after the previous service android was decommissioned and retired. “What’s android retirement like?”asks McKay. “Custodial work at a museum?” “Component donation of functional subsystems, followed by industrial recycling,”replies Maia matter-of-factly. McKay is aghast. “Are you serious? That’s horrible!” Maia doesn’t understand the reaction. “I will have served my purpose. I am the property of Traugott Corporation after all. They may do with me as they wish, and my salvageable parts contribute to the betterment of the company.” McKay is winding up to argue the point when they reach engineering. The doors slide open, and the sight inside stops him cold. Crawling across the floor, up the walls, and over the core itself are a half-dozen small, metallic spider-like machines. What does McKay do? A) Draw his weapon and fire. Drive them away from the core. B) Run. Get clear and warn the others. C) Trust in Maia. Let her handle them. CHOOSE!

PERP DEXs & This Week Let’s take a quick... look at what’s happening in perp DEXs this week: RISEx @ TOKEN2049 🇸🇬 plans to move to mainnet after a reward-based testnet competition on its own chain. The project will launch with limited access codes, so I recommend trying to get one. A major new player is about to enter the perp DEX market! Reya’s trading competition ends tomorrow. The team has also launched a new ambassador program. We’re getting closer to TGE on Reya. Miracle has integrated Nado into the system. After HL and Extended, this is the 3rd perp DEX added. Hibachi launched its first vault. GAV is currently yielding 35%. They surpassed 200k TVL in a short time. One of the most underrated perp DEXs. Pacifica is offering a 50% fee discount on RWA products until March 31. It’s actually quite easy to earn points from OI. On Paradex, fiddy.dime - priv/acc 🦡’s “price shame” is getting worse. The project sits at only a $5M mcap and $26M FDV. Lighter’s $LIT is now below $1. Their “genius” CEO still doesn’t understand that a project is nothing without its community. After TGE, they tried to dump on loyal holders who supported the project for over a year and forced them out with price pressure. Many OGs left. Now he can buy his trash coin at whatever price he wants. Good for him. edgeX🦭 will have its TGE on March 31. Hopefully it will be a good one and set a positive example for the perp DEX market. Based will have its TGE on March 30. The allocation to the community is extremely low, and despite criticism, they didn’t revise it. Expectations dropped from 300–500M FDV to 50–100M FDV on Polymarket. The team is ignoring everything. On TGE day, they’ll likely lose their last blind supporters. They didn’t even open the blind boxes they distributed. That’s how confused they are. StandX — I think the overly positive sentiment and “TGE is coming soon” expectations are unrealistic. There are only 4 pairs. Trading is exhausting, expensive, and difficult. The system needs improvement. They’re not ready, and progress on the perp side is oddly slow. A fast TGE is not possible under current conditions. There are fewer serious traders than you think. If someone inactive for weeks in the top 1000 only drops 10 ranks, it means participation is low. A warning to AG.stand: you are falling behind competitors, and the world is not just Asia. Grvt delaying TGE was a tough decision and of course had consequences. I assume the team calculated this. But if they delay again, they’ll likely face backlash from the community. Variational — Looking at OI and volume, it’s clearly one of the surviving perps. It’s easier to earn points now compared to a few months ago. BULK — I’m not farming it, but White Rabbit is. The testnet is now public. According to them, it’s a fast and well-built platform. Nado has a strong following. I sold my NFT. If they allocate only ~8% to the community, it could cause serious backlash. Hotstuff — I’m not in, but White Rabbit is farming it. They launched a new builder program. Last week, 2,359 users received points. Still relatively low participation. There are constant competitions — including trips to Thailand and other rewards. But pairs are still limited. HelloTrade is still stuck in whitelist phase. Extended is one of the projects managing its process well. If they execute a clean TGE, it could set a strong example. Architect — I haven’t seen anyone actually using it. Feels like Alice in Wonderland. ‼️ 01 (Acquired by N1) — We contacted them about an issue a month ago, and they still haven’t resolved it or even responded that they can’t. With this level of communication, it’s a huge red flag. If I were the CEO, I’d fire the entire communication team. Backpack 🎒 🚮 Hyperliquid 👑show more

Alaska. Putin and Trump. The meeting that was both... awaited and feared. The outcome. By Roman Alekhin To discuss this further, the key point to understand is this: Two and a half hours behind closed doors is too little for leaders of nuclear powers if they are just starting a conversation—but too much if they were merely posing for cameras. This means the real work happened earlier—quiet, working discussions “behind the door” that never made it into the official communiqué. These are what stopped Trump from imposing secondary sanctions; this is where the exchange of conditions took place, terms that won’t be disclosed until both leaders decide the time is right. I suspect Syria was discussed, as well as the “Trump Bridge” (instead of Zangezur), the Middle East, and much more that isn’t yet visible to the naked eye. The public part? Pure theater. The point wasn’t to negotiate in front of the world or sign something, like Trump did with Armenia and Azerbaijan—minor players, important only tactically. The point was to send a signal: the presidents of Russia and the U.S. are shaking hands and smiling again, no knives behind their backs. This signals that a new reality has arrived, one that Europe, Ukraine, and everyone accustomed to building their worldview around the idea of “Russia’s isolation” will now have to reckon with—including those within our own countries. Trump’s comments on Fox News were deliberately vague—he’s a master at leaving room for maneuver. But the key takeaway is clear: the pressure will now shift from Moscow to Kyiv and Brussels. This is evident even in the final format—not a word about a “no-conditions” ceasefire, which was Europe and Zelensky’s main demand. This means the discussion on a final peace has been postponed, but within a clear framework: Zelensky must exit the war in a way that lets Europe save face. Russia’s red lines have long been clear: non-aligned status for Ukraine, return of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions within their administrative borders (not the frontlines), lifting of sanctions, and real democracy in Ukraine without persecution of the Russian language or the Orthodox Church. These conditions will prolong the conflict for some time. Zelensky will need to stage a fighting retreat to the administrative borders—this will allow Europe to save face. But the logic is already visible: Ukraine’s defeat will be framed not as a “crushing” but as a “peaceful settlement.” Six months—that’s the timeframe in which we’ll see the dynamics. If the front accelerates, the deal is working. If it stalls, not all pieces are in place yet. But the main thing is already done: Russia is back in the game, not through gray negotiating formats but through a handshake on American soil—even if it’s chilly Alaska. (Though we have warm ties to the region, as seen in the wreath-laying for the “Heroes of ALSIB” and the meeting with Archbishop Alexy of Sitka and Alaska.) For the world, this is an image where smiles are worth more than signatures. For Trump—a chance to show he’s the only one who can “make peace.” For Putin—a symbolic victory: Russia is not a besieged enemy but an equal player. For Europe and Ukraine—the beginning of a painful new phase where they’ll have to accept the inevitable. In these talks, there were no winners or losers in Alaska. In Alaska, both presidents won, while those who weren’t there—lost, or at the very least, didn’t win.show more
