Things I learned from the Internet Invitational:\n• Being too... positive apparently annoys people\n• If something works once, I’ll do it 100 more times\n\nI lost sleep over that tee shot on 17 😭 Playing for a team hits different—you really don’t want to let them down. Especially Chazzy he deserved the finals. \n\nThe Internet Invitational humbled me, taught me how to handle nerves and reminded me why I love this game. Thankful to be apart of the first The Internet Invitational . Can’t wait for you all to see the rest!!!! Barstool Sports bobdoessports Fore Play Dave Portnoy \n\n📸: @mogieadamchik \n\n***Fun fact: the next event after this one was Good Good King of the Mountain. Hole 17 during the finals? Another par 3. Stayed calm, hit it close, finally clutched & secured the win with Sean Walsh. Thankful for the Internet Invitational for teaching me how to handle pressure… just wish my first lesson didn’t have millions of witnesses 😂show more

❓️ ways to overcome worries that occur from time... to time 💙 for me, back then i would do something (to overcome it), but nowadays i would do absolutely nothing and just lie down in the house. (with the mindset of) the mountain is a mountain and the water is water, that's how i freed myself (from those worries) t/n: "the mountain is a mountain and the water is water" is from buddhism, it's about how you are ought not to be confused with the truths in life and only then you'll achieve enlightenment, you need to keep your mind open and see everything just as it isshow more

I want to thank everyone that stuck with me... throughout the whole theburntpeanut rust server and everyone that supported me through everything. I met so many new people and learned so many things whether good or bad and although this may be the end of an era it is just the beginning for me. Here is one of many of the amazing clips from the event that I don't think many people got to see. I love you all, thank you for being a part of some of the best moments of my entire streaming career.show more

Time flies. Not too long ago I remember thinking... that recruiting year was so far away, but it’s here. The next few days will be life changing. I just want to thank my coaches, teammates, family, friends and especially my parents for being on this journey with me. With out my parents I would have never gotten to where I am today. Thank you for all of the sacrifices you have made and giving me the opportunity to peruse my dream. Good luck to my teammates and all of the other 27’s. Just remember it doesn’t matter what division you play in as long as you still get to play the sport you love. Enjoy the process no matter how stressful it gets, don’t wish it away.show more

#AGTG After much thought, prayer, and countless years of... hard work, I am beyond blessed and excited to announce my commitment to Temple Football !! First and foremost, I want to thank God for the opportunities and the strength He’s given me. I wouldn’t be here without Him leading me down this path. There has been many times where this seemed impossible, but through my trust in Jesus I have made it to this point. Thank you to my family for the endless support, love, and sacrifices. The countless hours spent driving me, teaching me, and all of the money spent on my dreams. Thank you to all of the people who have been in my corner helping me along this route. Thank you to all the coaches who have worked with me, supported me, believed in me, and pushed me day in and day out to be the best version of myself. Thank you to Tyler Walker KC Keeler and the temple community for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to make my dreams a reality. I can’t wait to win some games together. To my teammates and trainers, thank you for grinding alongside me and helping me grow every day, and to every school that recruited me, I’m grateful for your belief in my potential. Finally thank you to that version of myself all those years ago who dreamed of this moment and motivated me to work for this. I can’t wait to get to work. Let’s go Owls!! 🦉 #Committed #NextChapter #Templetuff Aquinas Football Roger Harriott Wesley Carrollshow more

I directed and edited ARTMS’ “bornstunner.mp4”! It was a... very unusual project, but just like the blonde girls with angel wings multiplying throughout the city, it was really exciting to see the 240p version of this video being copied and spread across the internet. Digipedi team helped me a lot during the shoot. I’m really honored that I got to be a part of their story, which I’ve always loved. I had a general plan for the edit beforehand, but mostly just followed my instincts as I worked, which was a really fun process.show more

Back when I had nothing… I was a nobody... to most people. TBH, my parents didn't even see me getting to where I am today. It's just the truth, the chips were stacked for my sister. Not me. But it's just not the reality today. However, there was ONE person in my life that didn’t see me that way. My significant other saw something in me before a lot of things. Before all my wins. Before the $. Before any proof. And honestly… that means a lot to me, if not the most of all. I’ve always been wired a little different. I’m a mix of finance, engineering, and tech, with a sprinkle of obsession. I learned and studied from the best. Warren Buffett for how to invest. Elon Musk for work ethic and where the future is going. And once I saw it… I went all in. Bc when you truly understand what you own… you don’t need 20 bets. What you really need is conviction and just a few bets. That’s how I approached everything in my life. All the way from Apple… to Tesla… to 𝕏… to xAI… and now SpaceX. I believe I have an eye for spotting the best entrepreneurs and companies early, before it becomes obvious to everyone. And when I see it, I back it 100%. That’s just who I am. I don’t need a big circle. I’ve already got my day ones. I don’t need approval. I grew up my whole life with doubt and hate, so what’s one more? At this point, the levels are just too different. And yeah… it's true, it actually gets harder to make new friends when you’re moving like this. So I stay loyal to the ones who were there when I had nothing. I made it with Apple - youngest in, youngest out. Then I made it with Tesla… while people were laughing, doubting, calling me crazy, telling me I was going to go bankrupt with Elon. Fast forward to today, now I'm heading into something even bigger. If the story plays out the way it’s shaping up… SpaceX could have the largest IPO in history this year. The company is talking about raising over $75B… at a $1.75-$2 trillion valuation. For context… the biggest IPO ever - Saudi Aramco - raised about $29B. This would be more than double that. Let that sink in deep. To me this is more than just an investment. This is owning a piece of the future of space, energy, AI... extending the light of consciousness forward in case something happens to Earth. People can call me crazy. People can call me cocky. Arrogant. But the people that actually know me know the truth - I’m just real AF. I say what I believe, and I stand on it. And I genuinely don’t care what people think. I have two middle fingers always held high for those kind of people. That’s probably why I’ve been able to win the way I have. My significant other tells me to slow down sometimes. And I get it. But for me… What’s the point of life if you play it safe? If you see an opportunity that can change everything… and you just sit back? That’s not me. I’d rather go all in on something I believe in… live with intensity… take the hits… and actually feel alive and live life with fulfillment. Laugh if you want, doubt if you want. Some play it safe, a few go all in. You can call it risky. You can call it stupid. You can call it crazy. I call it living. Bc at the end of the day, I'd rather go all in on something I believe in and fail... than spend my life wondering "what if."show more

I was informed that the team will be seeking... a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA. Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember. I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us. 2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys.. But coming for it all.show more

It’s taken me a few days to put this... week into words because I really just wanted to soak it all in with my family. I’m incredibly grateful to the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Sports Network for trusting me with this opportunity. It was a milestone in my career that I’ll never forget. I’m also grateful for women like Mary Shane and Cheryl Raye Stout, who helped pave the way for women like me. They set the standard and created opportunities I’m incredibly thankful to be a part of. When I was asked to step into the booth, I’d be lying if I said stepping into that role wasn’t a little intimidating. But I kept thinking about Joshua 1:9, a verse my dad has always reminded me of: “Be strong and courageous.” And somehow, it all came full circle. The person who taught me this game was the one handing me my scorecard on the same weekend the White Sox were celebrating his ’83 team. That’s a moment I’ll never forget. If this week taught me anything, it’s that some of the best opportunities are the ones that push you outside your comfort zone. You never really know what you’re capable of until you’re willing to get a little uncomfortable. I hope that’s something people, whether they’re in sports or not, can take with them. Thank you to everyone who watched, reached out, encouraged me, and sent kind messages. They meant more than you know. I love what I do, and I’ll never take opportunities like this for granted. ❤️ #whitesoxshow more

I’ve lost over 60lbs naturally since May 2025. It’s... one of many accomplishments I’ve made over the past year. The point of this post isn’t the weight loss, though, or to celebrate it. I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve accomplished, and validation from the internet was never part of that. What has been fascinating is watching complete strangers dedicate part of their day to telling me I’m old, ugly, fat, fake, washed up, hypocritical, low value, or whatever else they’re workshopping this week. The older I get, the more I realize none of it has anything to do with me. People project. Happy people rarely spend their time trying to tear complete strangers down on the internet. I’ve worked too hard to let anonymous people determine how I should feel about myself. If anything, those comments just remind me that people who have never met me are investing far more time thinking about me than I’m spending thinking about them. If anything, every hateful comment just throws another log on the fire. And I’ve learned that some things aren’t destroyed by fire. They’re forged in it. 🐦‍🔥show more

#Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard on Tyrese... Haliburton playing in Game 7 of the NBA Finals: "He's told me many times, this just shows you what kind of kid he is, 'I would do it over and over.' And if you're asking me, would I have him do it over and over? I would not. If I knew that he was going to get hurt, I would sacrifice that game because I care for the kid so much and want him to have an incredible career."show more

What happens when art becomes a conversation with your... own consciousness? As part of Brand in the Open, we invited 10 artists to explore what it means to build a brand for the decentralized internet. One of them was LGHT, a visual storyteller who hides layered ideas in “simple beauty.” “My art is an extension of my curiosity and desire to articulate,” he said. “I like to hide these convos in simple beauty, always wondering if anyone on my wavelength can read the color-pages.” For LGHT, creating onchain is a core part of his work. “It’s the basis of my new career. I don’t come from polished resume world. I’m a drop out, reformed delinquent... Onchain changed all that. It’s given me and my family security. And it let me do it on the merit of my own mind and character.” What does he want to see more of from creatives? “Courage. You can’t wait for the okay or the sign off or the recognition. You’ve got to be courageous, over and over and over and over again.”show more

Blog 81 Barstool hired me When I showed up... for walk 61 dressed in layers like an Arctic explorer, Frank told me to come upstairs. Erika wanted to meet me. I think the first thing I said was, “I’m sorry, I haven’t showered today.” It’s official, I’m on the Barstool team. Thank you to Dave, Erika, and Barstool for the opportunity ahead and for allowing the wild ride to this point. Thank you Big Cat for bringing me onto the YAK, tolerating my presence, trusting I’d figure it out, taking me to my first Knicks playoff game, and too many other things to list. Thank you Steven Cheah for coming to a Knicks game with me 10 months ago and telling me you could take me in a fight. You’ve been a great friend to me since, including inadvertently motivating me to quit my job and go all in. Thank you to everyone on the YAK for coming to Knicks games with me and enduring the Jenks Report. That squad was always insanely supportive. Thank you to everyone at Barstool who was extremely welcoming to me whenever I randomly showed up somewhere with Frank. And just generally supportive. If I listed everyone it’d get ridiculous, but Barstool is stacked with good people. Thank you MikeyBets for getting me on Allow Me To Be Frank and for everything you do behind the scenes for Frank and Tank’s Army. I’ll never understand why you love Jerry Kraus though. Much love to the entire AMTBF family tree. Thank you to all of the producers and behind the camera wizards at Barstool for including me in random clips. I always felt encouraged when I saw you include me in Stool Scenes or when Stu was graphically discussing a hypothetical sex tape of me. Thank you Rough & Rowdy. I still can’t believe that shit went down. I totally thought I was bluffing when I offered to step up and then Big Cat said “this could work” in 8 minutes and within 48 hours I was in an arena with gloves. Crazy. Thank you Stu for becoming family to me over last 9 months. Spending the entire summer at your pool changed my life forever. You telling me to stop being an asshole and start writing again got me writing again. You never sugar coat when things get real and demand the best of your people. Just please always listen to Sandy and everything will always be fine. Thank you Frank Earl Fleming for all of the memories we’ve made and the future you’ve forged ahead. You’re my brudder. You’ve probably stopped reading at this point or more likely much much earlier, so I’ll just write: I love you man. Thank you Stoolies, your support is everything to me. I will leave it all on the field. Lastly, Frank and I crushed walked 61 today. We walked all the way back to my apartment on the UES from the office (near MSG) after I met with Erika. Then WE went back to the office, I was onstage pitching merch with Tanka Clause during Cyber Monday, and Dave announced I was hired. I don’t have to sit outside any longer.

That being said, it is still okay for me to say the N word and make jokes about r*pe because I think it's funny and that's just what I do."

Talking to my nephew after I got my face... shattered. This attitude is why I’ve came this far. Just reflecting while I wait for legal to respond. I was so fked right here, to roll into the fight I had with so much hype and exposure. Main event for my first pro fight because of what I did as an ammy. And to get my dreams shattered, in front of everyone I love. Then to flip it and make it the best thing to ever happen to me, and to let my whole family see that. Fuckkkkkkkk That’s heavy. Now my nephew knows when he takes a knock he can turn it into a win. How do I handle this situation, possibly losing everything I worked for, and turn it into the best thing to ever happen to me?show more

Today I had my first demo drive in a... Tesla. It was also my first time ever sitting in one. This was the first car I’ve ever sat in the driver’s seat of where I didn’t touch the steering wheel for over 20 miles. Before I even got to the car, the people who had demoed it before me were an older married couple who were absolutely euphoric. They thought it was so cool that the car could drive itself. The Tesla employee told me this happens all the time. People come back from demo drives and tell the next test driver that they’re about to have an amazing experience. Little did I know, I’d end up carrying on the torch to the next couple demoing it after me. There was a ton of construction where I demoed the car, and FSD handled the entire drive extremely well. And yes, it can go through a drive-thru and stop at each window. The only thing I had to do was tap the pedal because it wouldn’t leave on its own, but it was still wild seeing the AI stop perfectly at the second window and wait. There are a million things I could write about why a Tesla feels like a better car and how much more it offers compared to a regular car. But for now, I’ll stick to FSD. There were only two moments that made me a little uneasy. The first was pretty minor. The car slightly hesitated going up a driveway, but quickly made up its mind. The second was more noticeable. I didn’t realize the car was nagging me. Once I touched the steering wheel, nothing happened, so I pulled it right a little harder, then let go. After that, the car turned left and crossed a double yellow on a backroad. (and yes I know you can sue the volume knob) I’m not totally sure if it was trying to pull over or what it was doing. I wanted to see how it would handle the situation, but there were cars coming, so I took over and corrected it. One of the coolest moments was when I thought FSD was glitching because it came to a complete stop in the middle of a busy road. Then I looked around and realized why. On the right side, there was a bicyclist waiting at a yellow crosswalk. The cars behind me didn’t honk, and the Tesla stopping actually incentivized another car in the right lane to stop and let him pass. The car is almost too nice to pedestrians, because 99.999% of humans would’ve blown through that, especially with no flashing light. For 99.9% of the drive, the car navigated confidently and smoothly. It was a real “feel the AGI” moment. Please do not let the media, the general public, or anyone else convince you that this technology is just some kind of auto assist or glorified cruise control. This is undoubtedly getting extremely close to feeling superhuman. You still have to pay attention to the road, but after experiencing it myself, I’d be shocked if HW4 Teslas aren’t unsupervised within the next couple years. The car was extremely smooth. There was no harsh braking, and it even avoided something in the road that I didn’t see. Driving with FSD made me realize I probably wasn’t driving as well as I could be. Hopefully, eventually, everyone’s car can be as mindful as a Tesla. I’ve never seen a brand so far removed from the public’s sentiment. I’m so happy I ordered one.show more

🚨🚨 Read this if you care about Gaza and... haven’t forgotten it—and for anyone who wants to understand the true value of a “human life” in Gaza! First of all, hello to everyone after more than 5 days of internet blackout! Secondly, during these days, I gathered my courage and went to wait for aid. With the internet down, I couldn’t withdraw any money to buy even a single kilo of flour. I was forced to risk my life in hopes of getting a bag of flour to feed my children. But I returned home injured , without I can get a bag of flour. Five days of sleeping on the ground among tens of thousands of other civilians who, like me, were also waiting for that one bag. Five days sleeping without a blanket—just the sky above us. No mattress—the ground was our bed. No lullabies to soothe us to sleep—the sound of shells and gunfire above our heads was enough to commit dozens of massacres at once, in one place. Let me tell you something: they treat us like animals. They allow in a bit of food and flour, and then make people fight each other over it. Imagine throwing food to chickens—how they would pounce on it. That’s exactly how we were. I saw things I’ve never seen before. I saw a father crying because a thief took the food meant for his children. I saw a pregnant woman pushing through the crowd of men to get food for her kids who had lost their father. I saw an elderly man pushed from behind by younger men, knocked to the ground and run over by the truck’s wheels. Conflicting emotions overwhelmed me: confusion, fear, helplessness, and betrayal. How can the world not see what’s happening? How can it not see us at all? For the first time, I felt like my life meant nothing. How could I be worth less than a bag of flour? Even now, every time I close my eyes, I see crowds of people swarming the flour trucks like beasts. Every time I sleep, I have nightmares about chasing that bag—and I wake up terrified. I won’t go back to that trap again. I don’t want to leave my family alone, at night, in a tent, unprotected, unsafe—just to chase after a bag of flour that might cost me my life. Nothing is more precious than life and family. Yesterday, I might not have returned to them. My wife and children didn’t sleep after hearing about the horrific massacre at the location I had been in. They heard I had run toward the trucks, right into the evacuation zones and areas of fighting. This madness must stop. I will try to buy the flour—it’s not worth more than me. Please, don’t stop supporting us!show more

My dear Hidesaburō Ueno, today is Valentine’s Day. I’ve... learned to be loyal, I’ve learned to wait, to love unconditionally, and this is thanks to you. Today I miss you. Without you I feel empty but I hold onto the hope that you’ll return to me from that train and hug me as we used to when the world seemed to fade away. I don’t know where you are, I don’t even know if you will ever read this message, but know that my love for you is always there, and I’ll wait loyally forever for you to come back, or for me to reach you in another life. True love isn’t words and thoughts; it resides in our energy, body, and organs. It’s like a different dimension of the universe where only you exist, no cars, no people, just you, and everything else ceases to exist. Thank you for teaching me how to love, and happy Valentine’s Day, my dear love, my only universe. I’ll be here today and I’ll stay at this station until I’m no longer able to wait for you. - Hachiko $HACHI Letter of February 14, 2026show more
