Happiness is a mug's game. Find a way to be of service to your family, friends, and neighbors. Hobbies are great in that they take you outside yourself, but serving people close to you is better. The secret to misery is making your life about you.
what's a beginner hobby for someone just getting into being happy
❤️🩹 He’s home to rest in peace. Aidan Heartfield, just 22, died a hero in the Texas floods by jumping in to try and save the ones he loved. His girlfriend, Ella Cahill, and their friend Reese Manchaca were also tragically taken by the raging river. For six days, Aidan’s father…
Thank you @WRGuinn for this fascinating look at the narratives around immigration, using Ben's common knowledge framework & our new @perscient narrative intelligence platform
The present immigration debate is the product of three events that changed common knowledge: the Shithole, the Sanctuary, and the Springfield Moments. Using our narrative-tracking technology, we can show you exactly what's driving public opinion on immigration. New on ET! 🧵

Who was your favorite running back when you were 10 years old? I’ll start:
A view of the Barton Springs bathhouses and cars from the parking lot north of the pool in Austin, 1925. How lovely is this photo? Larry Dierker, former Major League Baseball pitcher, manager, and broadcaster who also played for the Houston Astros for thirteen years, had the…
Awesome stuff from @CultishCreative the drum machine story was new for me!
This from @CultishCreative should be your weekend read: on the challenge of being creative the age of AI, and what we can learn from the Beasties:
I felt like I had to share these stories of loss and grief after attending four funerals for flood victims in Houston over the last week. Please pray for the Childresses, the Schaffers, the Jacobes and the Gettens, and the thousands of others who are suffering in the aftermath of…
This will make you cry, but it will also give you the strength and hope you need. I promise it's the best thing you've read in a long time. "Four Funerals and a Flood" by Jeremy @jradbo Radcliffe. New on ET. 🧵
The Most Impressive thing I saw the entire All Star week? This 10 Year old girl has the Best Pitching Mechanics I've ever seen in a kid. 🤯 Literally. She's about 4'8" and topped out at 63 mph (without any warmup).
Flood victim fundraiser idea: Parker Posey doing a one hour spoken word as her White Lotus character with an open bar.
This isn’t easy to read but it’s important to read
It’s masks-off time on everything in our political and economic world, not just Epstein. When it comes to the consolidation of statist, authoritarian control across every policy front, I think you ain’t seen nothing yet. epsilontheory.com/before-the-flo…
I believe that using the ABS system for challenges is a flawed approach for MLB. Despite the strike zone’s standardized definition in the handbook, its application varies by umpire, creating inherent subjectivity. Allowing ABS challenges introduces a new inconsistency, as pitches…
W rehabbed his image with his (bad) art. Trump is disowning his (better) art to avoid wrecking what’s left of his
“In 47 years, I’ve never seen my father doodle.”
Remembering Ellen Getten, a radiant soul, a light in every room, an angel whose time on this earth was far too short. May we honor her by carrying forward the warmth she shared and the compassion she lived. Gone far too soon, but never forgotten. Fly high, sweet Ellen. And to…
“If the All Star game is tied after 9 innings then we shall have a home run swing off.” “What if the score is tied after that?” “Nobody knows.”
Per the recently released DOJ memo, the Epstein files show that “more than one thousand” young women, many of them children, were raped in Epstein’s various residences. Congressman Lawler may believe that investigating the rape of 1,000 children is nonsense, but I don’t.
MIKE LAWLER: Frankly, the fact that you're even covering Epstein is nonsense BERMAN: It's being covered because the deputy director of the FBI took work off on Friday to protest the DOJ's handling of this
He’s almost convinced me to become a Cal Raleigh fan
(1/5) In advance of Cal Raleigh starting the All-Star Game, my latest on why he is the Shohei Ohtani of catchers - and why even that might be an undervaluation. New on @EpsilonTheory. MLB fans, Mariners faithful, outlier specialists welcome. #TridentsUp Read now on ET 🧵:
Thank you and AMEN
It takes a village, it takes a state, it takes a country. I want to pause for a moment to express my gratitude to everyone who has reached out with words of support and encouragment. Covering the flood is something Texas Country Reporter would not historically have done as…
This goes to the quote book: "it’ll be hard to forget the spectacle of this nation’s ‘intellectual élite’ enforcing moral auto-lobotomy as a condition of entry to polite society."
For unrelated reasons, I’ve resigned my position at Harvard. But I haven’t been able to speak frankly with *anyone* for c 5 yrs, & it’ll be hard to forget the spectacle of this nation’s ‘intellectual élite’ enforcing moral auto-lobotomy as a condition of entry to polite society
