While Sir Keir Starmer carries on as if his premiership isn't burning to the ground, Al Carns took to the morning media round today to offer up some home truths. Fresh from quitting his gig as a defence minister, Carns finally said the quiet bit — in Labour circles, at least — out loud: the Prime Minister is prioritising handouts over keeping the country safe. ✍️ Steerpike Article |

My little motivational story for those out there feeling like forex isn’t for them or maybe forex is scam … There were days I questioned myself, days I felt like giving up, days it looked like nothing was working. But deep down, I knew quitting would hurt more than failing. So if you’re struggling right now, keep pushing. One day the pain, losses, sleepless nights, and sacrifices will finally make sense. ❤️

Marjorie Traitor Greene Marjorie Taylor Greene just resigned from Congress, and the performance was exactly what you’d expect. Ten minutes of scripted “poor me” theatrics while pretending she’s some fearless outsider being pushed aside. For years, she pretended to be a Trump loyalist while trash-talking him behind the scenes and melting down every time she didn’t get what she wanted. Now, she’s quitting Congress and trying to spin it as some noble stand for “the common American.” She even read her resignation off a teleprompter. When the moment finally came to speak from the heart, she couldn’t do it.

Bradley Cooper told Barbara Walters the raw truth about getting sober in his late 20s. She asked if quitting drinking was difficult. He smiled: “No. Beautiful. Unbelievable.” Without that decision, he says he never would’ve been sitting across from her, never built real relationships, and never been able to care for his dad in his final days. Sobriety didn’t feel like loss, it felt like finally unlocking himself. Sometimes the hardest changes end up being the ones that make everything else possible. What’s one thing you quit (or started) that completely changed your life for the better?

The best tennis player alive kept collapsing in the big matches. Then he cut one thing from his plate. For years Novak Djokovic was freakishly talented, but he'd wilt in the long ones. Gasping for air, doubling over, sometimes quitting mid-match. Around 2010 a nutritionist ran a test and found a strong sensitivity to gluten. Not celiac, but real. So he cut gluten, grains, and most refined sugar. He says the change was almost immediate. Lighter. Clearer. He could finally breathe deep in the fifth set. Then came 2011: three Grand Slam titles, a 41-match winning streak to open the year, and world number one. He wrote a whole book about it called 'Serve to Win.' No secret supplement. No magic pill. He took the grains and the sugar off the plate, and the greatest of all time got even greater. Cut the grains. Cut the sugar. That's NSNG®. #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #glutenfree #djokovic #tennis #realfood #lowcarb #performance

Reckless Ben’s friend Sheldon Norcross (also arrested by American Fork Police Department & being sued by Bricks & Minifigs) finally breaks his silence about the situation. Sheldon shared his journey from quitting a rough warehouse job in Rockford, Illinois, to joining creator Reckless Ben's team. After connecting through Patreon, Sheldon drove his Tesla 38 hours to join the shoot for the Bricks and Minifigs investigation. He noted that Ben's off-screen persona is completely genuine, adding that Ben never even swears in real life. The project shifted when the team faced severe hostility from corporate staff. Sheldon realized the Lego dispute would go viral globally because it captures the universal struggle of an average person fighting corrupt corporate overreach. The situation escalated during a demonstration when police demanded Sheldon's phone without a warrant. He physically complied but locked the device by opening Apple Wallet to protect his texts. He underwent a bizarre 6 hour interrogation where clueless detectives made him explain how Apple Cash worked, ultimately disabling his Face ID.

Billy Strings tells Theo Von that quitting weed had been on his mind for a while, but two moments finally forced him to confront how dependent he had become. The first happened when he was simply leaving to buy groceries. He realized he couldn’t even imagine going 20 minutes without smoking. But the moment that actually made him quit came when his young son got sick. After spending days sick, his son seemed to be doing better, so Billy went upstairs to work on music. “Of course, I’m hitting my pen, you know, and I’m working on music and playing on Pro Tools and shit.” When he came back downstairs, his son’s condition had suddenly gotten much worse. “My son had gotten worse. Like, he was like lethargic. Like, we couldn’t even get his attention.” They rushed him to the hospital, and Billy says the guilt hit immediately. “My son is sick and I’m upstairs getting high.” “Man, I’m done with this shit.” “I smoked every day since I was like 11.” The moment he realized the habit wasn’t serving him anymore, he walked away from it.

Trucking right now: Drivers are walking off the truck and leaving it sitting. Can’t speak the language. Enforcement finally showed up. Trailer gets confiscated. Truck gets impounded. The company has to come drag their own iron out and prove the paperwork is real. This is after DOT just shut down the mills. 110 CDL schools emergency-closed. Tied to 5,000 drivers who failed English on the roadside. Another 160-plus on the chopping block — some had no classroom, class in a bus, no yard, no big rig to train on. Instructors who couldn’t even read the book. Licenses handed out without a real DMV test. Everybody who came through those schools is now in the crosshairs. So they’re not “quitting.” They’re disappearing. Lose the job or risk getting sent home. They picked disappearing. DOT says 28,000-plus already parked for English. 30,000-plus illegal CDLs yanked. 239 deaths they tied to this mess. You don’t get to roll 80,000 pounds down I-35 if you can’t read a sign or talk to a cop. They hid this for years. The schools are closed. The trucks are sitting. That’s not a labor shortage. That’s the fraud hitting daylight.

#WATCH | Kollam, Keralam: On joining TVK after resigning from BJP, Malayalam actor Devan said, "...I've been working for the BJP very affirmatively, aggressively, taking a lot of risks. But they couldn't understand my mission and my planning. They are against all these things. I think they are not interested in winning an election. They are interested in making money, which I objected to. They put me under lock... In the 2024-25 period, I started thinking of quitting this party... I thought that, in continuing with the BJP, my ambition as a politician would not be fulfilled... I resigned from the BJP... Joseph Vijay saw this, and he sent some people to me, asking me whether I am interested in joining TVK... We had a very broad and very interesting conversation. And finally, I had an online meeting with the senior leaders of TVK in Chennai. In principle, I agreed. So I told them I want to meet Joseph Vijay separately, and I want to discuss with him. Then they have given me a date on September 10th to meet him. So I'm waiting for that opportunity to meet. So I'll be, most probably, with TVK by God's grace..." (23.08)

Jonah Hill says Martin Scorsese used a genius psychological trick to help him nail a scene in The Wolf of Wall Street. “The first scene I auditioned with was Donnie’s intro scene at the diner. I had been preparing for it for almost an entire year.” “We shot it, did a few takes, and Scorsese was happy. I was so relieved.” “Then we had to shoot the next scene, which wasn't even really scripted. It was just one or two lines of me quitting my job.” “We did it again, and again, and again. We ended up doing it about 20 times.” “Scorsese wasn't saying anything to me, and Leonardo DiCaprio was looking away, acting uncomfortable.” “Obviously, something wasn't working, or else we would have moved on ages ago.” “We did it about 10 more times. I was sweating and absolutely freaking out.” “Finally, Scorsese called a break, sent everyone out, and told me to come sit with him at the monitors.” “For about 20 minutes, he just read the newspaper in total silence while I stared at the wall.” “After a few minutes of sitting there, I just naturally started to relax and get out of my own head.” “Then he looked at me and said, ‘Kid, you want to try it again?’ Everyone came back in, we did it twice, and he loved it.”

Back in April I posted a video of a man smoking drugs in a dumpster. Six months later, he’s sober. An old high school acquaintance saw the video on DoBetterDNVR and sent it to him. He messaged me and said that was one of the reasons he finally got into treatment. He told me that after a prescription was cut off, he ended up on fentanyl and crack, and that for years the fear of withdrawal kept him using even when he wanted to stop. He described not sleeping, not eating, barely drinking water, vomiting for days, seizures, and hallucinations. He said he was 28, had used heavily through his 20s, and spent the last four years wanting out but not knowing how. Continuing eventually felt worse than quitting. He checked into CeDAR in Aurora, covered by Medicaid, then kept going to AA and CA with people he met there. He said that ongoing work is what has kept him sober. That is the point. Consequences and someone refusing to look away can do more than another hotel room key and a bag of drug-use supplies. Denver keeps handing out free housing, meth pipes, and $0 PR bonds like addiction will fix itself if we just make it comfortable enough. Most people in active addiction will not live long enough for that fantasy to come true. He only got the chance because the cycle was interrupted and he was pushed into treatment, instead of being sent back onto the street and calling that compassion.
