We spend hours consuming content that was crafted for a limbic reaction, and then wonder why we're anxious. What if the antidote to anxiety is beauty? "Even the most horrific scenes in a written word or in movies have to be beautiful in one way or another. If you...

Asked Skylar Diggins about Seattle’s mentality/inability to close out games ahead of the playoffs: “I promise you, I swear I'm not even being facetious. If we had these answers to these questions, you know what I'm saying? This game is tough. It's hard to win in this league. It's hard to win in this league. And obviously, yes, we're disappointed with where we are, that we're in this predicament. But Nneka has said it in the past too. It's not going to be a woe is me. Games are still going to be played. You know, we still have to come out and compete. And most importantly, you know, we have to be professional. And you know, I lacked professionalism in that last press conference too. I want to apologize to the room. Apologize to Nneka. She always comes out here, handles herself exceptionally, and I handle myself poor. And you know, I got to be a better leader when it's hard and it's hard to be a leader. But I owe you that apology in front of everybody in the room. So I just wanted to say that before we left. But yeah, obviously it's tough. We're pissed. Yeah, that's what you guys want to hear? You want to see it. This is what it is when you're passionate. We do everything passionately, and that's what it is. We don't want to fucking be in this predicament. But here we are. So we're going to continue to show up and be pros every day, be leaders by example, how we come in and prepare and come out and get ready to compete, and that's all we can do. And if we don't do that, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.” @OffTheRecordW | #WNBA

Friedberg’s Ideal Immigration Test: Worker or Welfare? (Or Makers vs Takers) “I'm all about discerning immigration, not on the lines of some cultural definition, but really around that simple framing of are you going to get social support services or are you going to work? Going back to my makers vs takers point, if the primary motivation for an individual to come to this country is to be given benefits, to be given payments, to be given social services, to be given support, I think that that person should be denied immigration. If the primary motivation for the individual to come to the United States is to work to progress themselves, to become a maker, to create things, to work in such a way that they can generate income, save capital, buy things, advance their family's position because they are denied those rights due to the tyranny of the place that they're coming from, then they should be granted immigration status to come to this country and contribute. Because at the end of the day, what people may not like to hear, which is the truth, is that every single one of those people is actually net positive in growing our economy. And everyone thinks it's a zero-sum game with respect to jobs in the United States, and we shouldn't let people into this country that create jobs. But the fundamental truth is that anyone that is productive, meaning they create more value than they take in, grows the economy and more jobs get created, and overall, we all benefit from having those individuals here in this country. And by the way, if you are going to work, you are going to culturally assimilate, because that is what the United States is based on, which is productivity, work hard, create things, and have individual agency, have the ability to progress yourself in this world, in this society. And if you take advantage of that opportunity, you're going to love the American ideals that this country was founded upon.”

Lewis is so open here, please please give it a listen, so generous of him to share this with us and so inspiring 🥺 "When I'm at the racetrack, I'm in an environment where you have to be really guarded and protected. And then in my personal life, I mean, you can have lots of fun and be very creative and interact with people in a different way." "But I think it's really important to be happy and in a good place, away from the tracks. Then you arrive in a good place. If you're unhappy when you're away from it, you're often unhappy at the races." "So there's things that I've learned away from the track, from like social media, from podcasts, like breathing exercises, just about how to take care of yourself. Because these are not things that I was taught at school. I don't think there's actually anything that I learned at school that has benefited me. That I can apply. There was literally nothing that, and I think that's ultimately probably a problem with some of the education system. It doesn't necessarily prepare you for life, in terms of how to handle the mental pressures." "You know, mental health is such a huge issue around the world. And I, for one, also have been massively challenged in that area." "So learning new tools along the way, away from the race, has enabled me to arrive better prepared, better equipped, more able to deal with the pressures, the incoming assault or negativity. And then turning that into positivity and channeling that into something that I love, into racing." "Having something to be able to focus on, that's the privilege, that's how lucky I am to be racing. I think everyone needs to find a balance in life. But if you can find something that you're passionate about, take all this energy and focus onto something, it could be boxing, it could be, it could be a sport, it could be what you're studying. I think that's what we need to encourage lots of kids to be doing."

🚨Governor DeSantis pitches Federal Balanced Budget Amendment to Kentucky Legislature. Kentucky will be the 29th of 34 States needed to send the Amendment back to the States for ratification. “We're $38+ TRILLION in debt and it is escalating very quickly every day. We now spend more on interest just to service the debt than we do on national defense, and those numbers are going to escalate as some of these bonds have to be refinance in the future. I'm proud to be a Republican. This is not a Democrat problem, or this is a bipartisan debt problem. So Florida has obviously certified this. 28 States in total have. We've got a couple more that we think will happen relatively soon. Kentucky hopefully would be one of those. The reason I'm here is because I don't think Congress is going to fix itself. I think the incentives up there are such that we're likely to continue more of the same. There's a culture that's developed. There's a muscle memory that's developed. And you can't just say elect new people and all of a sudden they're going to fix it because here's the deal. Even if somehow we did elect new people and they did fix it, the next Congress can come in and undo it. And so unless you have changes, permanent constitutional changes to the incentive structure in Congress, you are not going to solve this problem. And the question is, how much more can you go into debt before we have a major debt crisis? I mean, at some point. Reality is going to bite, and I think the U.S. has been able to get away with this longer just because we're the best bet in town. Whatever problems we have, a lot of these other countries have other problems. But so why would you guys want to be involved at the state level? Because that's what our founding fathers envision. This is America's 250th anniversary of independence, and obviously it took them a decade or so to fashion a Constitution. But when they created the Constitution, they believed that the states were the most important units of government. They were creating a federal government, but it was limited and enumerated to certain tasks. There were local governments created by the state governments, but ultimately was the states that created the federal government and that ratified the Constitution. So they saw the states having a very, very important role. What about with constitutional amendments? Well, I think we just think muscle memory is, well, yeah, Congress proposes these amendments. You need two thirds of each house. They can propose it, and then it goes to the states for ratification. That's one way to propose it. The other way to propose it is via the states with Article V, and you have two thirds of the state certified. A proposal can be fashioned, and then it can go to the states for ratification. The founders knew that Congress could be the problem. So they obviously wanted to provide a mechanism for we, the people working through our states to be able to institute the reforms that would be necessary. We have the power to do it in our states. Many states have stepped up, and obviously I think Kentucky would be a great, great candidate to join the movement to prevent Congress from bankrupting this country. And if we can do that, that'll be one of the best things these states have ever done.”
