Drink sums it up about as accurately and succinctly as anyone I have heard. Well worth the 2 minute listen

I said it before and I’ll say it again, one of the reasons why so many things aren’t as good as they used to be is that we fired people who cared and were good at their jobs and replaced them with people who aren’t good at their jobs
‘The Incredibles’ Director Brad Bird Says Disney Fired Him for Defending the Studio’s Original Creative Values “I was trained by the old guys or mentored by them. Those are the guys that I was amazed by when I got to Disney. The guys that were in charge after those guys left were the guys who basically had been there for 20 years, but they were not good enough to rise to the top... And I essentially got fired for sticking up for the stuff the old guys taught me to value.” -Brad Bird

People high in ADHD traits have an underappreciated advantage. Curiosity.

I just heard the news about Kip Tyner. I was in the Theatre Tuscaloosa play "Music Man" & as a kid in the band, I was in a ton of his scenes. He was always kind to us. As a kid, the lead in the play was a big deal. He definitely made it a positive experience. RIP Harold Hill

Can't wait to watch this. Grateful for my time with @AlabamaFTBL. It was an honor to work for the 🐐 and win a National Championship along the way. 🏆 So many great memories with @jonathanvking and @Mac_Smith52. Will be fun to look back at that chapter. #RollTide 🐘

For some of us, it will be a second viewing 😉 I’m really excited to see what gets used.

Wait until everyone finds out about how Private Equity firms are taking over baseball parks…
One big US soccer thought: our youth development has to get more affordable. One of my kids plays travel. It’s at least $5k a year & this isn’t even super high end. We can afford it, thankfully, lots can’t. Youth sports costs in the US are out of control, soccer more than most.

BALL DON’T LIE
This is very suspicious. Ref has made every call against US - then gives a red to the player scoring for US - putting us a man down AND taking him out if USA goes to another round?? Ref should be reviewed at the minimum.

Terrible officiating in the Miss St / Oklahoma game! In that moment, an ABSOLUTELY OBVIOUS strike 3 check swing turns into a hit by pitch??? Just laughably bad umping.

BREAKING: I might live forever.
Believe it or not, playful touch like squeezing your partner’s butt isn’t just fun—it can actually be good for your health. Physical touch stimulates the release of oxytocin, often called the “love hormone,” which helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and promote feelings of closeness and happiness. These hormonal benefits positively impact both mental and physical wellbeing. Regular affectionate interactions, including playful or intimate gestures, also help strengthen emotional bonds. Feeling connected to your partner not only improves relationship satisfaction but has real physiological effects, supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and boosting immune function over time. Experts emphasise that these small acts of touch are a natural way to encourage emotional intimacy while promoting overall wellness. Incorporating playful physical affection into your relationship is a simple, fun, and scientifically supported way to improve your mood, strengthen your bond, and support your long-term health.

The episode where she’s never heard of Nick Saban:
This is a bs argument. The universities and coaches made millions off of these athletes' talent. They weren't talking about their education then. All they cared about was performance. But when its time for collegiate athletes to earn then there's a problem. Get out of here

🤣🤣 I’ve been telling my wife something like this was going to happen, for YEARS. To this day have never owned a roomba.
> be Sammy Azdoufal, software engineer > spend $2000 on DJI Romo vacuum > decide to control it with xbox controller like a chad > use Claude to reverse engineer the API > It works because Claude is the GOAT > just need to grab auth token from their cloud servers > token works... Claude is unbeaten > wait why is he authenticated as 7000 devices > ohno.jpg > backend trusted any valid token for any device, no ownership verification > mfw Sammy has live camera feeds from vacuums in 24 countries > watching some german dude eat cereal at 3am > can pull SLAM data and get floor plans of everyone's house > could be the world's most efficient burglar > could be the world's most at scale pervert > Sammy just wanted to drive his vacuum bro > reports it like a responsible adult > DJI patches in 2 days > back to being a normal guy with overpriced roomba > mfw the entire IoT industry treats auth like it's 2005

I want to speak on something I don’t think gets talked about enough in college football. Creatives (video, photo, media) are often tied to coaching staffs, even though we have no impact on wins or losses. When coaches are let go, creatives are frequently let go too sometimes even when under contract. Many of us relocate, sign leases, and take real financial risks to tell the story of a program, build its brand, and capture moments that live far beyond a season. Yet there’s very little job security or protection when staff changes happen. This isn’t about bitterness or blame it’s about recognizing a structural issue in the sports industry and asking whether creatives deserve clearer protections, severance, or roles tied to the program rather than coaching turnover. I know I’m not the only one who’s experienced this. If you’re a creative in sports, I’d genuinely love to hear your perspective. Respectfully sharing in hopes of starting a conversation. #SportsMedia #CreativeIndustry #CollegeFootball #SportsCreatives #CareerSustainabillity
