THIS!!!!!!!!! nailed it!
The Brewers are being celebrated like they invented baseball.
They are doing things that have become unusual.
They have an old school tough manager who players love playing for.
They focus on basic easy to understand basic fundamentals.
They have a hitting coach that was an overachieving player for skill that played in the big leagues.
They hit the ball the other way.
They value putting the ball in play.
They adjust their approach based on situation and count.
They are not addicted to exit velocity and launch angle bullshit.
They bunt and steal bases.
They do not have selfish superstars that need to be treated like celebrities.
The Brewers simply play the game how it was meant to be played.

Ever wonder what your employees are doing during work? Plyxl can now identify the bottlenecks in your company based on your employees' behaviors and come up with automations + apps to fix those bottlenecks. Pretty cool stuff 😎 #Automation #AgenticAI

This moment will be discussed in MBA classes and motivational speeches.
There was no added pressure in his mind because for him it was just about winning the next point and the next game.
Doesn't even bother keeping track of the score in his mind. Just win the next point.

Parents - this is 99.9% on you. No one is buying your child a cell phone - you are. No one is letting your child stay up all night on social media - you are. Stop buying your children phones that do anything more than make a call or text.

The College Board has overnight dumbed down its AP tests and inflated passing rate, and seemingly no one is paying attention

Our current society is so mind-boggling. We seem determined to introduce very weighty, adult concepts to 5 & 6 year olds while simultaneously treating college students like children who still need their parents to wake them up in time for class. What are we even doing right now?

AI doomers are in shambles over this one
this robot drives through California strawberry fields at night and does the job pesticides used to do, with NO chemicals at all
it shines UV light on the plants, which fries the mites, mold, and mildew that normally get sprayed with pesticide.
then a vacuum on the back sucks the remaining bugs right off the leaves
that's it, just light and suction, no poison, running while everyone sleeps
so you get healthier food, no chemicals soaking into what you eat, and no human stuck spraying poison by hand all day
there's genuinely nothing to hate here. so if you still find a way to, that's a you problem
this is the entire optimistic case for AI
better quality of life, healthier food, people freed from brutal work that wrecks their bodies
now run the same play across every domain
> robots inspecting bridges so nobody has to dangle off one
> AI reading every scan so cancer gets caught 3 years early
> machines taking the dangerous, poisonous, back-breaking jobs
another W for the AI optimists
autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

The NCAA Baseball Tournament might be the most underrated event in sports. Deserves way more juice.
May Madness, baby

Ken Coleman: "American parents have stopped paying attention to doing things that make our kids good because we're so focused on what makes our kids feel good… Stop worrying about how good they feel and start paying attention to how good they're doing."

There are 18 schools in the BigTen.
17 of the schools have a baseball program.
1 does not.
That’s the tweet.
Shameful.

Talking to independent physicians, it's obvious that the big insurance carriers are doing to them, what their PBMs are doing to independent pharmacies.
They deny, underpay, slow pay, clawback, and create administrative mazes, knowing their victims don't have the time or resources to fight.
Why ? By putting financial pressures on physicians and pharmacies, it makes them more likely to sell their businesses to them , close their doors, or refer the business to their captive pharmacy or provider. All benefitting the biggest insurance companies
We need to ditch the concept of "claims" and make every delivery of medications or care as a billable event that must, by law, be paid on a timely basis , with interest charges for any delays. If the physician or pharmacy doesn't deliver , the carrier has plenty of legal options already. As does the patient.
This is not an efficient market. This is the big guy abusing the little guy. It needs to change to better the care we get in this country

In traditional school, if your kid is ahead, the only move is to skip a grade. Now, they're the youngest in the class. This still doesn't solve the pacing problem or the fact that kids aren't uniformly advanced. A kid can be flying in math and behind in reading at the same time.
At Alpha, a fifth grader doing geometry sits right next to a friend who's catching up on fourth-grade math. Same room, same age, no one pulled out, no one held back. They're just each working on what they actually need.

Always choose clean pain over dirty pain.
Clean pain is the pain of telling the truth. The pain of leaving. The pain of disappointing someone. The pain of starting. The pain of being bad at something new. The pain of saving money instead of buying the thing. The pain of going to bed while the party continues. The pain of facing the blank page.
Dirty pain is the pain of avoiding clean pain. The pain of staying too long. The pain of lying. The pain of living above your means. The pain of being known inaccurately. The pain of watching your life shrink around a fear you refuse to face. The pain of managing the consequences of cowardice.
Clean pain is often sharp and brief, dirty pain is dull and chronic.
Self-respect is paying the clean cost early.

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

What’s one hard lesson sports taught you that helped later in life? 👇

Why do kids have to attend school every day if teachers put most assignments online as if it's still COVID school, and rarely give lessons in class? Kids don't know why they have to be there. Schools don't seem to know either and that's why they seem unconcerned with absences.

I wonder what it will take to shake the apathy that still exists regarding the decline in American education. The alarm bells are ringing but so many people seem to ignore them.
