Why Elon didn't want to be CEO: "[Elon] is at core, an engineer and a product guy. He has this great line where he said: "I realized you couldn't be fully in control of the product unless you were also in control of the company." He says he made a moral error, early in Tesla, where he was trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to control the company without running the company. And that was the 2002 to 2008 era, where Tesla was just off to a really messy start. He was providing the funding. He was chairman of the board. But Martin Eberhard was CEO. Eventually, when Tesla was on the verge of death in 2008....Elon was pushed into the position of: "I have to be CEO. I don't want to be. It comes with a lot of chores. It comes with a lot of responsibilities. But if I want this company to be successful, I have to fully internalize and take responsibility for it." And that's what he did, even though he was also in the same position at SpaceX. The fact that these companies are improbable, iconic, and that he funded and led them both in parallel...it's like running a two minute mile twice at the same time. It is such a higher degree of difficulty than most people can conceive of, and the fact that it worked is still unbelievable."

it’s cute how it seems as though he realises that soobin had a long day and wanted to rest so even though he wanted to be held by him he kept still and stayed with yeonjun but the moment soobin got up and came closer he immediately ran to him for comfort

Our team put a lot of work into this year’s script trying to make Jonathan cry. It’s our test to see if it’s going to be a good challenge. But it wasn’t our words that got to him this year. Instead, the Lord’s. The Parable of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. - But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ - No matter how lost you are. No matter how far off. Come home this Lent. He’s waiting for you.

Naaaaa he cooked… he cooked so good. We barely have it real for men like this but this is a message I 100000% endorse. You have to be the leader… and being a leader is reflected in the choice of partner you make too

Here is my last point on Kimmel. If Kimmel came on and apologized like this the day after his remarks he probably wouldn’t have been suspended. But by all accounts he wanted to double down. Again for the billionth time this isn’t a free speech issue. He works for Mickey Mouse on NETWORK TV. Nobody said he was going to jail. He was dealing with the consequences of making off color jokes about the murder of a guy who meant a ton to a ton of people and blamed it on the very people who love him the most before the body was even cold. So yeah there was outrage that Mickey had to deal with. Then the pendulum swung the other way and they put him back on air. Either way it was never a free speech issue. When you work for somebody else and you offend a ton of people you deal with the consequences. Him framing this as free speech is a joke.

I know it will blow up (obviously because it’s a food for haters) so posting the full statement: “ I was one of the last to find out about his arrival. He adapts well to the dressing room. He is a very good person, and his ability to create chances, his ease in getting past defenders - that's a gift. I get the feeling that Vini is more of a hard worker and Kylian is a pure talent. He became the top scorer in his first season, and this year, I think he will be again. That's a bonus, not only for him but for everyone else in the team. These days, you know, if one player doesn’t run (pointing out to another player) it is ok, but when several players don’t, it weighs heavily. If Kylian does it, it really helps the team. ” If Fran Garcia wanted to make a statement then i think it would be better for him to do it face to face with his teammate - Kylian Mbappe, instead of creating another drama for press because haters got their food now and it is very unprofessional and unnecessary. The striker you are asking to defend is a top scorer in la liga and UCL, he is doing his job properly while i can’t say the same about defenders, if you want the striker to help with defence, then it will be fair to ask Fran Garcia to help with scoring too, otherwise i don’t think it is a fair point. Not to mention it is rare for a striker to be a part-time defender because it is one of winger’s duties.

Tyrese Maxey has transformed into an All-NBA candidate. Drew Hanlen explains how: “I felt like I messed up last summer with Tyrese because the whole summer we prepared for him to be better in a two-man game with Joel. And it was all about how can you kind of be that second guy to Joel. We were doing is a lot of dribble handoffs. And then Joel didn't play last season and they weren't able to win games.” “And Tyrese still had a good year.—27 or 28 a game or whatever it was, but it was like he wasn't able to carry his team to wins. And it was because he wasn't, in my opinion, prepared enough. We didn't train him to be the number one.” “And so this summer we said, hey, listen, now that you've got those skills with Joel, if Joel comes back and is like what we hope he is, you still have those, but we need to turn you into kind of a more number one option. And so we shifted our focus in the summer and really focused on like, how do you thrive if Joel isn't on the court? And I think that's why you've seen some of the first half improvement this season.“

Journalist, "Did our Prime Minister Keir Starmer convince you not to put tariffs on the UK?" President Trump, "He tried.. He was working hard.. He earned whatever the hell they pay him over there" "I think there is a good chance we could end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't be necessary, we'll see" "We have a good chance of arriving at a very good deal.. A deal that could be terrific for both countries" "We'll have a deal on ending the war and have a great trade deal with you"

Yesterday's April Fools Video - Behind the Scenes This was so much fun making this video with calpinoper where we swapped clothes in between takes in order to pull this one off. Here's a little snippet of what is what like filming this, and this only represents a taste of the 7 min video about to be released on both of our of's. In between takes when I was giving direction on the shoot, this sneaky fucker would sneak in some tickles while I was restrained and would turn into a full-blown tickle session. But before I jumped in the stocks to "become" MASTER MAX he was dressed as the legend and I would genuinely tickle Cal in order to get authentic reactions, and of course I would get carried away and it turned into a full on tickle torment for poor Cal. Look out for the full 7 min video which includes tickling scenes of both of us as well as the outtakes which made this a blast to make.

This gentleman was finishing a plowing job for a paying customer when he noticed an elderly man shoveling his own driveway. The elderly man looked exhausted even though he still had so much more to do. The gentleman decided to offer his services free of charge, he already had all the equipment ready and it wouldn’t be any trouble for him to do this drive as well free of charge. We should always look for for our neighbors in the winter, not all of them have the ability to shovel all the heavy snow, would you do this too?

Kyle Shanahan on him saying “I’m proud of you Brock” in the headset during the game last week: “That was sarcasm. I was trying to piss him off. We had an easy, quick pass play to Juice in the flat. It’s designed to get 3 yards, and he might turn it up and get more. And the last, like, five times I’ve called it, he’s bypassed Juszczyk and tried to go for a deeper one. So we’ve been giving him crap for a long time that he can’t hit a guy in the flat quickly. And then he did it, and I said that just to piss him off, so he could flip me off, kind of subtly. But it was awesome. He was too far away, but I know he’s rolling his eyes. That was cool, though. I’m glad he did it, and sometimes when you piss guys off, they do it more. So that was the ultimate goal.” via: 49ers on NBCS

🎥 || Sebastian Vettel about what a win in Ferrari could mean to Lewis Hamilton. “The longer it takes, the harder it becomes.” “But I mentioned the example of 2021 and Lewis' character. You know, he has the incredible ability to reflect the situation he's in now, struggles he might have. And I think he's still in a point of his life where this is what he wants to do.” “I think he has a fair shot from his performance. But a lot of things need to come together. You need to have the team, you need to have the people, you need to, the timing needs to be on the sweet spot so it would be great. And I think he deserves if it comes together but we will find out.”

I would only blame myself if someone kept taking food off of my plate and eating it. It’s because I didn’t set clear boundaries at all. To be honest I couldn’t even be mad about this because it would be my fault this even happened. But you know very well I’m going to learn my lesson. She obviously is very comfortable doing this, he doesn’t seem to be firm about not letting her do it, the only one he can be mad at is himself. I think he will think twice about continuing to let her get away with it. Years ago, my brother used to do this to me and when I confronted him he laughed but he never stopped doing it, it got old really quick, I was annoyed because it felt like a bullying tactic. It got to the point one day that i had had enough, I made my plate and I dumped a bunch of salt into it knowing he was going to try to eat my food. After one bite he spit it out and he learned his lesson. He never did it again. But he still got mad I did it. Personally I think he was more mad he got caught if anything. I think a simple solution is to double order, that way if someone eats all my food I still have a back up, that could work right? But a part of me feels like that shouldn’t even be necessary. What would you do if someone kept eating off your plate? Would you put your foot down or just stay silent in hopes they don’t do it again. I think I am going to start just smoking more meat on the grill and keeping that up. I always make so much and if people wanna have some I still have plenty.

Tatted Tickle Chair Torment Fuck do I love getting to wreck these straight studs in my tickle chair. Not only can they take the punishment so well, they’re also just really fun to talk to about cars and shit. This was Andre first time in a tickle chair (and hopefully not the last) and wow did he manage to take it like a champ. You can tell he’s trying hard to push through this and man was it a loooonng session too. Probably take me a little while to edit this one, but I just had to tease y’all with this quick little clip to show you what a marvel this one turned out to be. What a fucking king this guy is. 👑

President Trump issues a WARNING to Iran: “Very traumatic” for them if they don’t make a deal immediately. Trump told reporters there’s a deadline of about one month for Iran to agree to a deal before he makes his next move. TRUMP: “We have to make a deal. Otherwise it’s going to be very traumatic. Very traumatic.” “I don’t want that to happen. But we have to make a deal.” “They should have made a deal the first time, and they get Midnight Hammer instead.” “And this will be very traumatic for Iran if they do make a deal. Look, if they don’t make a deal, then it will be a different story.” “But we are very good meeting yesterday with Bibi Netanyahu. He understands. But it’s ultimately up to me.” “If the deal isn’t a very fair deal and a very good deal with Iran, it’s going to be, I think, a very difficult time for them.” REPORTER: “Is there a timeline for this deal, sir?” TRUMP: “I guess over the next month. Something like that. It shouldn’t take — should happen quickly. They should agree very quickly.”

CNN’s David Axelrod: “We can go one of two ways in this country. We can, embrace this notion that somehow we're at war and where there'll be more killing and more violence. Or we can learn from this moment. I — you mentioned history. I was a kid when, we went through a period of assassination in the 1960s. I remember when Martin Luther king was killed. Robert Kennedy went onto the streets of Indianapolis. He was a candidate for president at that time and it was very, very dangerous, frankly, for him to be out there. But he insisted on going, and he spoke to the crowd and he finished and I wanted to share this. He finished with a poem by Aeschylus, the ancient Greek poet. And it was, “even in our sleep pain which cannot forget falls drop by, drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” The question is, have we seen enough to embrace wisdom here and recognize that this is not a path that we want to go as a country? And let's be clear, I heard what those folks said. We've had political assassinations of Democrats and Republicans of the left and the right. This is not something that is exclusive to one or the other, but I will say, if we continue to embrace this notion that if we disagree that we're not only political opponents, but you are an enemy, you are an evil. You want to destroy the country. You want to destroy our way of life. That is a prescription for disaster.”

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be. But it has torn me up. Statistically we have spent 90% of all the time we ever will together. I am sad because I know I made a lot of mistakes during this time. Mainly, I was too hard on him because he was the oldest, and he was a boy. I was the oldest, and a son in my family. I repeated some mistakes that were made with me. Even though I was convinced I would do a better job. I spanked him. I used unkind and hurtful words when I thought he fell short. Things that I have learned cause more harm than good. Things I wish I could take back. Basically I was just too damn hard on him. I have learned and (I hope) improved as a father. Which benefits his little sister and brother. I wrote him a long letter before he left. I told him how proud I am of him, tried to give him some words of wisdom, but also apologized for not always being a great dad. I told him I wanted to be the greatest dad in the world, but I didn’t always know how. I explained how I was brought up, and my father was brought up, and that I had brought some stuff along as a dad that I hope he is smart enough to leave behind when he is a dad. I know my grandfather had it ROUGH. My dad had it a bit less ROUGH. I had it by comparison better, and my son did too. However I could have and should have done a better job in my link of this chain of fatherhood. I am confident my son will do better when it is his turn. To the dads out there, especially with your oldest son…try not to be so hard on him. He doesn’t need to feel the weight of all of your expectations of a family lineage, he doesn’t need to be made into a clone of you, he doesn’t have to be made ready to be your “successor”. Watch how you discipline him…think very carefully about what you are trying to do and what the expected results will be. He just needs to be a good man and to be happy. And you need to keep a good relationship with him.

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be. But it has torn me up. Statistically we have spent 90% of all the time we ever will together. I am sad because I know I made a lot of mistakes during this time. Mainly, I was too hard on him because he was the oldest, and he was a boy. I was the oldest, and a son in my family. I repeated some mistakes that were made with me. Even though I was convinced I would do a better job. I spanked him. I used unkind and hurtful words when I thought he fell short. Things that I have learned cause more harm than good. Things I wish I could take back. Basically I was just too damn hard on him. I have learned and (I hope) improved as a father. Which benefits his little sister and brother. I wrote him a long letter before he left. I told him how proud I am of him, tried to give him some words of wisdom, but also apologized for not always being a great dad. I told him I wanted to be the greatest dad in the world, but I didn’t always know how. I explained how I was brought up, and my father was brought up, and that I had brought some stuff along as a dad that I hope he is smart enough to leave behind when he is a dad.

Paul Verhoeven on whether the events that take place in "Total Recall" (1990) are real or just a dream: "It is both. To be honest, that’s what I want. I made the movie in a way that it would be true on both levels, and I spent a lot of time to get that. If you want a scientific explanation, you know, of course, in quantum mechanics there is a very interesting principle, the principle of uncertainty, Heisenberg’s principle. If you have a big object and if you try to measure the place of the object and the velocity of the object at the same time, the more precisely you measure velocity the less precise place gets. So that’s the principle. That means, of course, that there are different realities possible at the same moment. What I wanted to do in 'Total Recall' is to do a movie where both levels are true. I mean for me, of course, the film anyhow has to do with two realities, one being the reality of going as a secret agent to Mars and discovering that there is a problem, and solving the problem, which is starting the nuclear reactor and helping the guerrillas and destroying Cohaagen. The second level of the movie, of course, is that from the moment that he goes into the Rekall chair ‘til the end it’s a dream, and I tried to make that second level work throughout the whole movie. So there’s the dream level which starts when he gets into the chair and the thing is in his neck, and that would go throughout the whole movie, so in the next scene where they say, Oh, there’s a problem, there’s a big glitch here, that would be already the dream, of course. That’s where the dream starts. And the next scene where they are fighting and stuff would be part of his dream, convincing him that it is real, because there is a glitch but that would be part of the program. It would be built into the program to make him accept the fact that it’s real, but it’s a dream. If you look at the movie, if you haven’t seen it, or for the second time, you’ll see that the whole program that’s set up at the beginning when he goes to the Rekall office and he talks to this guy who sells him the program on Mars, you’ll see that he gets everything that he wants: he gets the trip to Mars, he gets the girl, the exotic girl, he ki!!s the bad guys, and he saves the entire planet. That’s what he does. And that’s basically the dream. Even halfway through the movie, you may remember, this other guy comes in, Dr. Edgemar, and tells him that he’s in a dream, that he’s still in the Rekall chair, and then Arnold says, “If I’m there, I can ki!! you.” And he puts a gun to his head and the guy says, “Sure, no problem for me, big problem for you, because you will be psychotic from now on because the walls of reality will fall apart. One moment you will be the savior of the rebel cause, the next moment you’ll be Cohaagen’s bosom buddy, but in the end—you will even have these strange fantasies about alien civilizations—but at the end you will be lobotomized.” And then if you see the movie, you realize that all these things happen. I mean he is lobotomized at the end. That’s why at the last shot, when they are so happy and kissing each other, it slowly fades to white, which for me meant, “OK, there he goes. That’s the end-that’s the dream—they lobotomized him.” And all the other things happened, he finds the alien civilization, he rescues the planet, he finds the good girl, he k!!ls the bad guys, but it’s a dream. Now, of course you can see it as a reality, too. So at the end of the movie, getting to white means either it’s a happy ending or he loses his brains . . . which is probably also a happy ending, I don’t know. That was basically what l wanted—that at the end there would be two possibilities, and they would be both true—for me they are both true—it’s not either one or the other. It’s not that either it’s a dream or it is a reality. It is a dream and it is a reality. And I think they’re both there." (Paul Verhoeven's interview with Chris Shea & Wade Jennings, 1992) P.S: On this day, 36 years ago, "Total Recall" (1990) premiered in Los Angeles, California, USA.
