Trump: "I'd like to get a deal now less than three or four weeks ago…but I don't know if America has the appetite to do what I would really much prefer doing…We were in Vietnam 19 years…If it were me I would have had that war done in three months, four months."

Jude Bellingham on his road to recovery : “It’s felt quick, but there were a lot of days alone, working hard, and honestly pretty boring. I’m back earlier than people expected it was never going to be three or four months, I was always confident I’d return sooner. Once I was back with the team and doing contact, I flew through the last few weeks. On the pitch I feel confident. I had to do gym sessions on a mat, learning how to fall and roll again, making sure I wasn’t putting my shoulder in positions where it might pop out. The chances are less than 1%, but it was about feeling no pain…It’s boring stuff you’re basically learning to fall again like a kid. It means a lot to hear people say they miss watching you, teammates miss playing with you, staff miss coaching you even the fans being up in the stand, seeing yourself on the big screen, hearing the claps it’s humbling to know so many people are supporting you. It’s easy to get dragged into negativity when you’re injured, especially when you can’t remind people what you do. That support was exactly the reminder I needed of how loved I am in Madrid, which is all that really matters.”🤍

🗣️ Cesc Fabregas on Arsenal becoming Premier League champions: "Amazing. Amazing. Congratulations to the club in general, starting from seven or eight years ago when they first started with this project. "Because what you watch and see in football every day, what Arsenal did, especially in the difficult moments, it doesn’t exist. It doesn’t exist. "I told Edu, I told Andrea when I came last year for the Champions League, congratulations to the whole club for the patience, for sticking together and sticking to the plan. "For three years in a row, correct me if I’m wrong, they finished eighth, eighth, eighth. The fourth year, nearly Champions League. It was a big disappointment. Tottenham came, you finished fifth. "But you keep going because you have a plan, because you have an objective, you have a progression, you keep going forward. "We lack this in football today. Every day you see: “Okay, lose three games, change the coach.” He was playing one style, now he’s playing another. At the end of the day, I don’t believe in this a lot. "I’m very lucky that I am in a project, of course at a much lower level, lower everything in terms of history and everything. "But we’re trying to look a little bit at the stability that Arsenal had, at the values, at the culture that they are bringing. "I think Mikel has done a tremendous job. So I can only wish them the best, really. Because also the group… I don’t know, these guys, now you talk to them and they give you… I don’t know, they’re good guys. "They want to play good football. They’re respectful. You can see how they stick to the plan all the time. Really, I’m super happy to come back here and see and smell this feeling. "

François Truffaut on why he got more pleasure in directing a child actor than an adult in his debut film, "The 400 Blows" (1959): "To shoot a film with children is very enticing beforehand, entails a lot of panic while it is happening (because it is a fearsomely challenging business that is always slipping through one’s fingers), and is immensely satisfying afterwards. Even when I have a feeling that everything is going adrift, there is always something that is salvageable, and no matter what happens, it is always the child who comes across best on the screen. I also think that I get more pleasure from directing a child than an adult because I am just starting out as a director, whereas adults have already had experience at acting. I tend to be intimidated by their “seniority,” and when they don’t want to do what I tell them, I sometimes give up the struggle, or else allow myself to be pulled along when they do their thing, and I am never sure I’m right. A child’s sincerity is something I think I can feel absolutely. For example, through the whole length of the film, I had to wrestle with Jean-Pierre Léaud. He was terrific, but he was scared that he was going to come across as unlikeable, which meant that he continually wanted to smile. For three whole months I prevented him from smiling … and I’m sure I was right. That said, I was amazingly lucky to come across that kid. He was the character. Better still, he improved the film. I had been seeing Antoine as more fragile, more timid, less aggressive, whereas Jean-Pierre gave him his robustness, his truculence, his courage. He was an invaluable collaborator. He was able to find the right gestures spontaneously, he adjusted the script, always for the better, and he used the words that he wanted to use." (Truffaut's interview to Arts, 1959) P.S: On this day, 67 years ago, "The 400 Blows" (1959) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

"When I married, I was a virgin, I promise you, and sex has never interested me much. I don’t understand how people can waste so much time over sex: sex is for kids, for movies, a great bore." --- Alfred Hitchcock Full Excerpt: "Hitchcock: I’m sixty-four now, and I can swear that I’ve never known any woman other than my wife—neither before nor since our marriage. When I married, I was a virgin, I promise you, and sex has never interested me much. I don’t understand how people can waste so much time over sex: sex is for kids, for movies, a great bore. And since I’ve always avoided anything boring.. [remember the day I had to write the screenplay for the movie 'Woman to Woman' (1923): the story of a man who has a mistress in Paris who bangs his head, loses his memory, and starts going with another woman, who gives him a child. Well, I was twenty-three years old, I’d never been with a woman, and I didn’t have the slightest idea what a woman did to have a child. I had even less idea what a man did when he was with his mistress in Paris or when he was with another woman who was giving him a child. And so... Interviewer: Now you know, Mr. Hitchcock? Hitchcock: Now I know. I have a daughter of thirty-five and three little grandchildren. Between you and me, I’m a grandfather. Still, when I think that my daughter was born when I was nearly thirty, and it was only then that I realized that babies aren’t found under gooseberry bushes. You won’t believe it—no one ever believes it, they say it’s an act to make myself a character—but until I was twenty-four, I had never tasted a drop of alcohol; until I was twenty- five, I had never smoked a cigar. I was very shy, more shy than I am today. If people told dirty stories, I used to blush like a rose. So my friends would always tell them when I wasn’t there, and if I arrived, they’d say, “Silence, Hitchcock’s coming.” As for my wife, I married her because she asked me to. We’d been traveling around and working together for years, and I’d never so much as touched her little finger. Interviewer: But why on earth? Don’t you like women, Mr. Hitchcock? Hitchcock: Indeed I like them, more than men. In point of fact, I feel less shy with them than with men. For example, I could never talk like this to a man. But I like them to talk to, to dine with, not for sexual reasons. When people ask me, “Mr. Hitchcock, why are the stars in your movies always blondes? Is it because you have a weakness for blondes?” I tell them I don’t know, it must be coincidence or the fact that they are ladies; I’ve thought since I was a child that ladies are blonde, my wife is blonde. I don’t have a weakness for anyone, neither for blondes nor redheads nor brunettes nor sexy women... You know who are the sexiest women, I mean the most wrapped up in sex? Nordic women. Evidently the cold makes them hot. Consider Englishwomen: they all look like schoolmistresses, but heaven help the poor fellow who finds himself in a taxi with one. At best he’ll get out of it minus his clothes. Interviewer: Forgive my asking, but how do you know these things, Mr. Hitchcock? Hitchcock: What a question! I listen to what people say, I find out about things. Obviously the information is secondhand. Scientists know that if you mix one powder with another powder, you'll be blown up. But they don’t have to be blown up in order to know it." (Alfred Hitchcock's interview with Oriana Fallaci, 1963) Clip from: North by Northwest (1959) Director: Alfred Hitchcock

PALESTINE’S🇵🇸 MANDELA: Marwan Barghouti’s son details HORRIFIC BEATING his father suffered at the hands of Israeli prison guards ‘I haven’t hugged him in more than 23 years, almost 24 years now, because it was a few months before his imprisonment. But on another note, I haven’t seen him in three years. I used to see him twice a month only until I turned 16. So it was only for the first three years. And then since 2006, I would see him once every two or three years. I haven’t seen him in three years. And none of the family members have seen him in three years. After October 7th, it’s very important for people to understand what’s been happening inside Palestinian prisons. It’s the other side, or the backyard, of the genocide that is happening inside prisons. 79 Palestinian detainees have been killed inside prisons, either by beating, starvation, medical neglect, and so on. And I think that my father is part of that. What happened to him is that they sent him to solitary confinement to punish him, even though he had nothing to do with October 7th. But as part of the collective punishment and as part of targeting him as a leader, a representative of the Palestinian people, they sent him to solitary confinement. He was assaulted at the end of 2023, March of 2024, September of 2024. And then we just heard two weeks ago the scary and very disturbing stories from the released detainees who got exiled to Egypt… 8 prison guards, while he was shackled in his hands and legs, put him on the ground and started kicking and beating him until he lost consciousness. He passed out for a few hours and regained it after hours when he got to Megiddo Prison. They sent him to the clinic. He had four ribs broken and severe injuries to his head, and he was sent back without any medical treatment to his cell.’ -Arab Barghouti, the son of jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

🔥🤔I said a few weeks back If Tyler Robinson was at the Dairy Queen at 6:38 p.m. in Orem, Utah how the hell did he make it to Cowboy's Smokehouse in Panguitch by 8:45p.m.? So now we have people asking to explain the impossibility of Tyler only having 2 hours and 7 minutes for a 209 mile drive. With NO TRAFFIC... Fastest maps route is still maybe generously around 2 hours 50 minutes. Now they are skeptical of that photo saying there is no date/ time stamp, witnesses … maybe the person got the time wrong or someone was trying to “muddy the waters”. Yet Candace on The Shawn Ryan show earlier in July just said about Tyler Robinson “ I think he played a role. I believe he picked up clothes & dumped them behind THE DAIRY QUEEN.” So which is it? She seemed very confident in her timeline since she received the photo & stated the time & mentioned DQ again recently. Do the DQ photo skeptics now not trust her information? Personally… I think he was at DQ at that time. It’s more likely the people that claim they saw him at Cowboy’s were mistaken. I’m more inclined to believe the photo of him than eyewitness testimony which we know can be unreliable. Also why would he want to eat Chick-Fil-A in the morning, DQ at 5:38 and then drive IMMEDIATELY hours to go eat a big steak right a blizzard and chicken tenders/fries or a burger .. whatever is in the box. He cannot be two places at once. I’m confident that if there is evidence he swiped his card at either DQ or in Panguitch it will be shown at trial by the defense of they believe it can provide any kind of alibi. I’m curious why they would say there were “NO WITNESSES” at DQ. Clearly someone likely witnessed him since they sent a photo to Candace. Likely an employee. They will also have geo fencing cell data that will prove either way. If he was panicked and waiting to pick up his gun I’m going to lean on the side he would wanted to remain as close as possible… and was at DQ. Let’s just see what comes out at the full trial.

John Huston on working with Clark Gable in "The Misfits" (1961): "One of the myths attached to 'The Misfits' was that Clark Gable d!ed of a heart attack because of over-exertion in this film. That is utter nonsense. Toward the end of the picture there was a contest between Clark and the stallion the cowboys had captured. It looked like rough work, and it was, but it was the stunt men who were thrown around, not Clark. I got on well with Clark. I spent many hours with him in his trailer— thanks to Marilyn. He thought of himself as an actor, not a screen personality. He liked reminiscing about his early days in the theater—old-time actors’ talk. I saw very soon that Clark knew exactly what he was doing. Two or three times I thought I saw ways to improve his performance. I was mistaken. Each time I had him go back to his own way. He was nonplussed by Marilyn’s behavior. It was as though she’d revealed some horrid fact of life that just couldn’t be accepted in his scheme of things. Because I edit as I go along, Clark got to see the first cut of the film, and he was delighted. The picture was way over budget. It would cost about $4,000,000—and that was a lot of money in those days for a black- and-white film. Clark said, “Hell, John! If the studio is unhappy about the cost, I’ll buy this picture for four million dollars. I think it’s the best thing I've ever done. Now all I want is to see that kid of mine born!” That was on November 4, and he was due to become a father in February. It wasn’t to be. He suffered a heart attack on November 5 and died less than two weeks later. Because of Clark’s death and the tragedy of seeing Marilyn slowly destroying herself, my memories of 'The Misfits' are mostly melancholy. But there were some good moments, too." ("An Open Book", John Huston, 1980) P.S: Remembering the legendary American filmmaker John Huston on his 120th birthday!

Erica Drum was told her son Jackson would never breathe on his own again. A hockey hit launched him headfirst into the boards. Broken neck & spine. Paralyzed. Odds of recovery: 1 in 1,000,000 Jackson is now walking and has recovered every fine motor skill he lost. What happened? His loving mother took a chance on a substance called DMSO. And what followed was nothing short of a miracle. ERICA DRUM: “[Doctors] said there was no hope of recovery… He is vent-dependent, feeding tube-dependent. We were told he is never going to eat or drink or be able to breathe independently.” “I had a friend, and she’s like, ‘Hey, I know of this thing [DMSO] that’s supposed to help spinal cord injuries, and it helps reduce the swelling.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, well maybe we can try that.’ Because at this point, we didn’t have any options.” “We decided to try [DMSO] topically. We bought like a little rollerball one… We started that on day four or five, and by day seven, I would poke his feet or his legs, and he would open his eyes [despite being on intense painkillers].” “And then there was a PT working with him, and she felt his hip flexor fire. And they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ He went from an Asia A to an Asia C, which usually is not supposed to happen.” “You’re either a severe spinal cord injury with no sensation, nothing, like an Asia A. You don’t go from an A to a C. From there, he was Asia C. And I’m still rubbing this stuff on him every chance I get.” “I mean, I would rub that thing on him probably ten times a day. What’s interesting is I was able to rub it on the left side of his body more than his right side. His left side is definitely stronger.” “The right side is slowly coming back. His hand grip on this side was like 1 pound probably four months ago. And now it’s up to 20 pounds. He literally has every single fine motor skill. It’s a matter of us now strengthening them.” “He hasn’t used his wheelchair in three weeks… We moved to the arm crutches. And now in therapy, he’s working on walking without the arm crutches.” “We were like ventilator-dependent, medication-dependent… And now we’re down to just the baclofen.” “My son is one of the only people I’ve met that does not have the nerve pain with his condition. So he is off of all nerve pain meds.” Jackson’s doctors can’t explain how he went from a quadriplegic to a walking, self-sufficient person again. But his mother attests it was the DMSO. The thing is, Jackson isn’t the only person with a story like this. 🧵

Erica Drum was told her son Jackson would never breathe on his own again. A hockey hit launched him headfirst into the boards. Broken neck & spine. Paralyzed. Odds of recovery: 1 in 1,000,000 Jackson is now walking and has recovered every fine motor skill he lost. What happened? His loving mother took a chance on a substance called DMSO. And what followed was nothing short of a miracle. ERICA DRUM: “[Doctors] said there was no hope of recovery… He is vent-dependent, feeding tube-dependent. We were told he is never going to eat or drink or be able to breathe independently.” “I had a friend, and she’s like, ‘Hey, I know of this thing [DMSO] that’s supposed to help spinal cord injuries, and it helps reduce the swelling.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, well maybe we can try that.’ Because at this point, we didn’t have any options.” “We decided to try [DMSO] topically. We bought like a little rollerball one… We started that on day four or five, and by day seven, I would poke his feet or his legs, and he would open his eyes [despite being on intense painkillers].” “And then there was a PT working with him, and she felt his hip flexor fire. And they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ He went from an Asia A to an Asia C, which usually is not supposed to happen.” “You’re either a severe spinal cord injury with no sensation, nothing, like an Asia A. You don’t go from an A to a C. From there, he was Asia C. And I’m still rubbing this stuff on him every chance I get.” “I mean, I would rub that thing on him probably ten times a day. What’s interesting is I was able to rub it on the left side of his body more than his right side. His left side is definitely stronger.” “The right side is slowly coming back. His hand grip on this side was like 1 pound probably four months ago. And now it’s up to 20 pounds. He literally has every single fine motor skill. It’s a matter of us now strengthening them.” “He hasn’t used his wheelchair in three weeks… We moved to the arm crutches.

Sequoia's Shaun Maguire on Why Elon's TERAFAB is Underrated: "I’m gonna sht on a lot of other investors for a second." “I’m watching people come in with what I’d call 8th grade level education on the industry, trying to make definitive statements.” "I’ve been obsessed with semiconductors since I was a little kid. I literally bought Nvidia shares in the IPO in 1999. I was obsessed with semiconductor fab as a kid, got really deep into the chemical processes that go into making wafers." "People are assigning way too low a probability that it will work.” Hill & Valley Forum 2026 (The Hill & Valley Forum) / Elon Musk . . . “I think it’s underrated because I think people don’t think it’s gonna work. Like I think a lot of people view it—and again, this is a systems-level problem—and I’m gonna just go get sht on a lot of other investors for a second. It’s been pretty wild for me as chips became all the rage again. To brag for a second, I’ve been obsessed with semiconductors since I was a little kid. I literally bought Nvidia shares in the IPO in 1999. I was obsessed with semiconductor fab as a kid, got really deep into the chemical processes that go into making wafers. If you think about the silicon industry, from the mid-50s to the mid-90s, the bottleneck was actually chemical steps. It was not lithography—it was making ultrapure wafers, which require 20+ chemical steps. Then it flipped to lithography, and EUV became probably the hardest single step in semiconductor manufacturing. But there’s all these investors that, three years ago, had never done anything in hardware, had never thought about semiconductors, that are brand new and think that they’re experts. I’m not trying to say I’m an expert—there’s a lot I need to learn—but I’ve at least been paying attention to this field for a very long time. And I’m watching these people come in with what I’d call eighth-grade-level education on the industry, trying to make definitive statements around what the bottlenecks are, what’s gonna be hard. They’re basically just parroting each other. It reminds me a lot of when people were trying to assess the likelihood of reusable rockets working in 2014, or Starlink working in 2019–2020, where everyone would tell me to my face: it will not work. Or when people were saying self-driving will never work. Especially with camera-only—where Elon was a contrarian doing camera-only rather than vision plus lidar. All these things fit the same pattern of people thinking superficially when they’re brand new to a field, then having strong opinions on how things are gonna work. And I think that on TERAFAB, people are assigning way too low a probability that it will work. I personally feel confident that it will. Timeframe—there are questions—but I’ve thought through all the different steps. Almost everyone, when you talk about TERAFAB, they’re like, ‘but what about EUV?’ And EUV is something they first learned about in the last 18 months. It’s comical to me."

Trump’s closing remarks at the #WHCD… “But for all of the trouble that you give me, you give me a lot of trouble, a lot of heartache. I hope all of you know that I believe in the free press more than anyone in this room does. Ehh, maybe not quite. But that’s why I’m proud to be the most open and transparent President in history. They called me that. You know who calls me that? Karoline. That’s about it, so would anybody else call me that? I think Peter would call me that. Am I the most transparent? Biden never used to answer your questions. He’d ask Biden 20 questions. He’d never get an answer. Who’s the most transparent president, Peter? Who? Who? I look at him like it’s the first time he’s – he’s tongue-tied. I cannot believe it. Oh, he’s not going to be happy tomorrow. But you people have no idea how lucky you are. When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke. Your business model is going to be finished. No, it’s true. When I’m not around, you’re gonna be broke. There’s not going to be anybody to report on. Nobody gives a damn about anybody else. The New York Times, the other day had five stories about me, you know, before I got into politics in my whole life, I had seven front-page stories. This is years of success. I think six were good, one was bad. I had five stories, seven – five good. Yeah, I had a total of seven stories on the front page of The New York Times. It’s not bad. Now I average about three or four a day, all different topics, all bad. Everything bad. But here we are. I mean, here we are, in fact, when I’m finished, I’m going right back to the Oval Office, so I have to be doing okay, but we are all doing good together. That’s why tonight, to show just how much I care about the press, and I want to save your ratings. I’m pleased to announce my intention to – and this is a somewhat of a scoopy intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States. I will be doing that. I will be having an official. In fact, I think I have -- yeah. I won, I won three times. Now I’m gonna do it again. Thank you. I’m gonna do it. It should be easy. I’m getting very good at running for president. Now, I won 3 times, did very well the second time, by the way. It’s a rigged election, but we don’t have to talk about it, you know, it’s interesting when you come back. and you do a good job like we did, and you don’t care about it so much, but we do have to tighten up these elections because they really are in seriously bad shape. But on a serious note, I want to say once again, I just want to thank you all. It’s been an interesting evening. I didn’t really know what to expect, and it’s far worse than I actually thought, but if you want to know that, but I didn’t know exactly what to expect, and I’ve made a lot of friends tonight. I’ve made a lot of good friends tonight, probably made some enemies also, but it’s been an experience that is something that we’ve all shared together because we’re all in this room tonight because most of us went through a period of – of – trauma from just a short while ago, and you know, some people said they wanted to come but they were afraid to come and you people weren’t afraid to come.” “There were a lot of people that said, Jacqui, they don’t really, you know, they didn’t have the courage to come, and we don’t want that to happen, and I’m sure it’s not going to happen. We’re going to do things again. I want to thank our law enforcement keeps us safe. All law enforcement, we have the greatest people on earth, you know, we had two years ago, we had the worst record of recruitment in, as an example of the military, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, the Coast Guard, Space Force, I love Space Force. Look at all that shooting we’re able to do from space. That was my baby, but all of the branches of you couldn’t get people to join. This was three years ago, and last week, you probably saw some of you wrote the story. We have the single best recruiting of people into our armed forces than we have ever had in the history of our country. We have – they are brimming over its great people, and that’s a big statement. And that also goes for the police departments where they were having a tremendous problem recruiting. You can’t get into a police department now if you’re looking for a job, it’s very tough, and that also includes our great fire departments because people forget about them. They’re unbelievable the job they do. So, I just want to thank you. Look, we’re on the – cusp of something big, and I call it, and there’s – being very serious when I say this, that this is the golden age of America.” “We have $19.2 trillion being spent in our country. A record was China, I think it was 10 years ago, three trillion. Trillion is a lot. Four years, they went less than one trillion under Biden, and we have 19.2 trillion and this is a period of actually 13 months, not even current, because we hear a little bit longer than that, but that was, as of reporting dates, $19.2 trillion is being spent. Factories are coming. Toyota just announced they’re going to be building the biggest car plant in the world. They’re leaving Mexico. They’re coming here. Tariffs did that. Tariffs did that. And maybe November 5th did that to the election, but our country is doing things that nobody’s ever seen before, and it is true we were, and you’ve heard me say this, we were a dead country two years ago. Other leaders would see me, and they’d say it’s a miracle. President Xi told me that a few weeks ago in China, and he’s coming here on September, I think, 24th, coming in September, the end of September, going to be exciting.” “The king of Saudi Arabia said, and everyone said almost the same words. We thought you were a dead country. We never thought you had a chance. You were never going to make it back. And in a period of a year, a period of one year, you made it the hottest country anywhere in the world. We all did that together. It’s not me. We all did it together. And we do, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world, and we’re going to keep it going, and I just want to say it is a room I have tremendous respect for the people in this room. Sometimes I don’t feel you treat me fair, or maybe you do. I don’t know. I don’t feel that, but sometimes you treat me very fairly, and I have a lot of respect for your profession, your profession’s amazing, and I just want to thank you for having me, and it’s been fun, and I’ve met a lot of great people and, you know, I used an expression, I’ve used it right from the beginning. I did this for one reason, to make America great again, and that’s what’s happening right before your very eyes. We have made America great again. It’s going to get a lot greater. So, thank you all very much. It’s an honor to be with you. Thank you. Thank you very much.”

🚨New: Yan Diomande on why he turned down PSG, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal — and why Real Madrid is the only move he consider: 🗣️Yan Diomandé: “The interest from PSG, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal was flattering on paper. But when you actually look at how those teams play and what they would ask of me, the mismatches were obvious. At PSG the system is fluid and star-heavy. They need attackers who can constantly rotate positions and share the ball with three or four other high-profile forwards. I play my best football with clear space to attack 1v1 and finish moves myself. That setup never felt like the right environment for a winger who wants to be decisive every week rather than one of several options. Manchester City is even more specific. The structure is world-class, but it turns wide players into disciplined positional pieces. You have to track inside, hold your shape, and sacrifice a lot of the freedom that makes a dribbler dangerous. I didn’t want to become another efficient cog in that machine, no matter how many trophies it wins. Liverpool’s intensity is impressive, but the way they attack relies on constant chaos and overlapping runs from full-backs. My game is more about control, timing the dribble, and isolating full-backs in space. That high-tempo, transition-heavy style just doesn’t suit how I see myself developing. Arsenal are building something solid under Arteta, but their possession phases are very structured and patient. Wingers are expected to stay in tight positions and recycle the ball a lot. I’m not looking to join a project that is still refining its identity at the highest level. I want a team that already knows how to win the biggest matches. Real Madrid only came into the race late, and that actually made the difference clearer. Their interest felt different. They don’t try to force you into a rigid system. They give attackers freedom to create in the final third while still demanding the mentality to perform when everything is on the line. That combination of freedom and history is what stood out for me. Once those conversations started, the other options stopped mattering.

Elon Musk explains his 5-step process for running companies: "First, make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb. It does not matter who gave them to you. It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough. Everyone's wrong no matter who you are. Everyone's wrong some of the time. So make your requirements less dumb. Then try very hard to delete the part or process. This is actually very important. If you're not occasionally adding things back in, you are not deleting enough. The bias tends to be very strongly towards let's add this part or process step in case we need it. But you can basically make in-case arguments for so many things and for a rocket that is trying to be the first fully reusable rocket. There's never been a fully reusable rocket. People don't understand. This is like the holy grail of rocketry. So you've got to delete the part or process step. Super important. You can't hedge your bets. That's why the grid funds, for example, do not fall down because that's a whole extra mechanism that we don't need. Also, whatever requirement or constraint you have, it must come with a name, not a department. Because you can't ask the department. You have to ask a person. That person who's putting forward their requirement or constraint must agree that they must take responsibility for that requirement. Otherwise, you can have a requirement that basically an intern two years ago randomly came up with off the cuff and they're not even at the company anymore. These things are often just way more silly than you think. So step one, make your requirements less dumb. Step two, delete the part or process step. If you're not adding things back in 10% of the time, you're clearly not deleting enough. And then only the third step is simplify or optimize. The third step, not the first step. The reason it's the third step is because possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist. Everyone's been trained in high school and college that you've got to answer the question. Convergent logic. So you can't tell the professor your question is dumb. You'll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So everyone's basically, without knowing it, they've got a mental straitjacket on. They'll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist. And then finally, you get to step four, which is accelerate cycle time. You're moving too slowly, go faster. But don't go faster until you have worked on the other three things first. You can always make things go faster. And then the final step is automate. Now, I've personally made the mistake of going backwards on all five steps multiple times. Literally, I automated, accelerated, simplified, and then deleted. One example I've talked about before is there were these fiberglass mats on top of the Model 3 battery pack that were in between the floor pan and the battery. And it was at one point choking the battery pack production line. And I was basically living on the battery pack production line trying to fix the line. It was choking the entire Model 3 production program. So the first mistake was I tried to fix the automation, like make the robot better. So automating was a mistake. Then accelerating was a mistake. Then optimizing was a mistake. And finally, I said, what the hell are these mats for? And I asked the battery safety team, what are these mats for? Are they for fire protection or something? They said, no, they're for noise and vibration. Then I asked an NVH, a noise, vibration, harshness team, what's it for? They said fire safety. So literally, it was like being in a Dilbert cartoon. Actually, I feel like I'm in a Dilbert cartoon quite frequently. So then finally, OK, great, let's try a car with the fiberglass mats and without. And they put a microphone to both and see if you can tell the difference. In fact, I was like, which one is which? So we just deleted them and just bypassed this $2 million robot cell. It was just a complete pile of nonsense."

🗣️ Mikel Arteta has to make changes for Crystal Palace. 🔄 “December is the month where players get injured more than ever. If there’s one thing Mikel Arteta struggles with. It's rotation and Arsenal are paying the price for it right now. “Benjamin White playing three games in a row straight off a long-term injury. That's pretty unnecessary. Gabriel playing a friendly when he reportedly wasn't 100%, that was questionable as well. “Situation with Benjamin White, he's now out, Gabriel out, soon to return. Saliba not fully fit, even Mikel said that himself. He had to rush him back. That was a risk, which breeds more injuries. It's a vicious cycle. “Hincapie had an injury the other day against Everton, where Calafiori sort of like went into him and he even had to have like a look like a like a deep heat or something on on him like a bit of pain relief. “So he's probably not even look hundred percent. No one seemed to pull that up at the end of the match, but he didn't look like he was moving that comfortably. He did complete the 90 minutes. Of course, Mosquera. Another one who's not available. I feel like at the moment with Arsenal there's one position just gets absolutely pummeled. So at the moment, it's the defence. At the start of the season, it was all the strikers. So now we're packed up front, we're ruined in defence. So there's not many options. “I read an article the other day where it said, December is the month where players they get injured more than ever because there's so many games, the load is so high, it's just it's just too much. “I mean, even Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, the most durable player in football pretty much, and he got injured from a hamstring the other night. It just goes to show what this period's like for the players. “So I think Mikel has a duty to look after the players, they just had a week off. It's the first week they've had off in since like international break and it's not going to change until February, so it's not going to stop. “Mikel has a duty to look after these players and make sure this doesn't derail our season. Arsenal haven't won the Carabao Cup since 1993, before I was even born. I've never seen us win it. I've always wanted us to win it, but I'm not going to get upset if we don't win it. I think Mikel's under a lot of pressure this season to bring home silverware but if it's not the Premier League or Champions League, it's going to be the same result. “I think this match is a match for rotation. I think it's a match for Noni Maduweke, Ethan Wainieri. Marli Salmon, even Josh Nichols at right-back. Timber needs a rest. Saliba probably needs a rest. Hincapie may need a rest, given the extent of his injury. I think the players are on the limit at the moment. “I think we're very close to being beyond the limit for Arsenal. We're in a very good position, thanks to Mikel and the players and the staff, everything right now. But let's not ruin that over a Carabao Cup. “We need to win a trophy, but a Carabao Cup isn't going to relieve the pressure on Mikel Arteta, I'm afraid. It's just not. You know what's coming if he wins it. Oh, he's not won the Champions League. He's not won the Premier League. Doesn't matter. “Obviously, it would be delightful to win. a trophy, like even when he won the FA Cup, he has won a trophy for Arsenal, major trophy, but that was a long time ago, and this season's the season in my opinion. “He needs to prioritise what matters for him. Here's a starting 11 I'd go with. Got Josh Nichols in there, Marli Salmon. I know Josh and that have been actually training with the first team ahead of this match, so. I wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of him in the squad. “You never know, he might start. Knowing Arteta though, he probably won't start, but I'd like to see him start. What's your opinion on it? Should Arteta rotate massively?“

🗣️ Mikel Arteta has to make changes for Crystal Palace. 🔄 “December is the month where players get injured more than ever. If there’s one thing Mikel Arteta struggles with. It's rotation and Arsenal are paying the price for it right now. “Benjamin White playing three games in a row straight off a long-term injury. That's pretty unnecessary. Gabriel playing a friendly when he reportedly wasn't 100%, that was questionable as well. “Situation with Benjamin White, he's now out, Gabriel out, soon to return. Saliba not fully fit, even Mikel said that himself. He had to rush him back. That was a risk, which breeds more injuries. It's a vicious cycle. “Hincapie had an injury the other day against Everton, where Calafiori sort of like went into him and he even had to have like a look like a like a deep heat or something on on him like a bit of pain relief. “So he's probably not even look hundred percent. No one seemed to pull that up at the end of the match, but he didn't look like he was moving that comfortably. He did complete the 90 minutes. Of course, Mosquera. Another one who's not available. I feel like at the moment with Arsenal there's one position just gets absolutely pummeled. So at the moment, it's the defence. At the start of the season, it was all the strikers. So now we're packed up front, we're ruined in defence. So there's not many options. “I read an article the other day where it said, December is the month where players they get injured more than ever because there's so many games, the load is so high, it's just it's just too much. “I mean, even Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, the most durable player in football pretty much, and he got injured from a hamstring the other night.

Jon Rahm explains his decision to reject a deal with the DP World Tour and put his Ryder Cup future at risk: “Well, my position hasn't changed in a week. I don't like what they're doing currently with the contract they're having us sign. I don't like the conditions. They're asking me to play a minimum of six events, and they dictate where two of those have to be, amongst other things that I don't agree with. “If we just go based on that -- I've been a dual member my whole career, PGA TOUR and DP World Tour. Now with LIV Golf being accepted in the world rankings as part of the ecosystem, you could almost say a three-tour member, even though I'm suspended from the PGA TOUR. “But I've always been a dual member. Never once have I been asked for a release to play either one of those tours. We've never submitted a release. So why is it now that we need to be offering this and there's all these penalties? I understand why they're doing it. What's the problem? “Given also the fact that two years ago I was asked to appeal the fines so they could figure this out and sort it out and I did and we're running into more problems right now. “I just don't like the situation. I think we should be able to freely play where we want and have the choice to play where we want and not be dictated what we do. Especially myself. I can't speak for others; only myself. “I've always committed to play the minimum requirement, and I think I've played four events, including the Spanish Open, every year except one as a pro, and I commit to do that. That's not going to change. I still fully intend to do that. “Now, with the LIV and the major schedule I don't think I'm going to be able to do so until our playoffs or our last events are done. But given on the back nine, right, we have the Omega Masters, I believe, Irish Open, Wentworth, French, Dunhill, Spain. “Out of those events, I would love to play my four in there given I'm going to the Spanish Open, three of those I am going to play, and I fully intend to play three of those. I would love to. “I don't know what game they're trying to play right now, but it just seems like in a way they're using us to -- they're using our impact in tournaments and fining us and trying to benefit both ways from what we have to offer, and it's just in a way they're extorting players like myself and young players that have nothing to do with the politics of the game. “So I don't like the situation and I'm not going to agree to that. “Now, I did tell them, funny enough, lower that to four events, like the minimum says, and I'll sign tonight. They haven't agreed to that. I just refuse to play six events. I don't want to, and that's not what the rules say.” When asked about Tyrrell’s decision to agree a deal, he said: “I respect Tyrrell's decision. That's all I have to say. He's free to make his own choice, and I fully respect it.” And he also reacted to Rory’s comments suggesting he now has the opportunity to prove he would pay to play in the Ryder Cup: “I think I responded to that a few weeks ago and I said, that statement would make a lot more sense if all 12 of us were being asked to pay, not only just the two of us. There's more intricacy that goes into this whole situation, right. While I understand why he's saying that, we all do it for the love of the game, it's a different situation than what we usually see. “I'll gladly pay my way to go on the Ryder Cup, not have to pay to still be a member of the DP World Tour and fulfill a commitment that I'm fully willing to commit.” What are your thoughts on this?
