Attention beginners & high-hcps who get paired with better players: I need to tell you a few things, bluntly. Because I want you to grow. Tough love, if you will. -I don’t care if you ‘don’t usually play this bad.’ -I don’t care if you chunk, shank, slice & skull. -I definitely don’t need play-by-play of every shot you hit. Truly, you don’t have to explain yourself. -I care if you are fun to be around. -I care if you disrupt the round. Slow, loud, complain, throw clubs. -I’m happy to share technique or equipment advice if you ask The scorecard goes in the trash. Your behavior is deposited to memory. Some of my favorite golf companions shoot 95, quickly. I leave pondering the laughs, stories, quips & insights, but never what they shot. (📷 credit @patrickjkoenig)

I’m going to say this as calmly as possible: Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach. Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great. It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big. And that is insane. This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her. She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude. No. Her attitude is not the story. The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance. This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.” That is what this looks like. The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it. And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped. Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd. You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room. Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing. Fans are not stupid. They see the fouls. They see the double standards. They see the jealousy. They see the media resentment. They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her. And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly: People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled. They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great. If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid: Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark. At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question: How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her? Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse. It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care. x.com/i/status/2060921884666…

Finishing up this office build and installation today for home in fountain Hills.

Strong possibility that we see announcement of a partnership or commercial deal announced in the next few weeks re C2PA. Adobe and Google Chrome collaboration announced on the 12th shows $DMRC has built the toll road by way of owning the registry. Look for continued momentum with price this week. JVR will need an updated price target shortly.

DIGIMARC! $DMRC This invisible watermarking company, is going to become a household name in the technology arena!! #GIFTCARDS #C2PA #RECYCLING #AI. FAKES and much more!!

Wow

Still blows my mind that a nonprofit US based SRO whose job it is to protect retail is fighting tooth and nail to suppress discovery Cant make this shit up! It should be "who can we help" Read their "mission statement" again $MMAT $MMTLP

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history. He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough. RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

🚨 To everyone calling this "fake" or a conspiracy theory... Go look at the actual complaint. It's filed, it's real, and we're 100% serious about this. We're going to show the world that this geoengineering cabal is real. What you're seeing in the skies every day is exactly what it looks like. It needs to stop. It's dangerous, and it's being done to mess with people—to steal, manipulate, and straight-up harm our health. This isn't a game. The evidence is out there. The fight is on. Who's with us?

$DMRC Shorts are sooooo fu8king dead! 😂😂😂@mil shares (more hidden behind curtain) against a 13mil float of which 50 percent is in super tight hands....possibly more

$DMRC Really solid piece that nails DMRC's current situation. So if you want to refresh your understanding of DMRC or just get to know DMRC, this is a must read. beyondspx.com/quote/DMRC/ana…

To the broken, to the lost, to the undeserving, there’s hope In Jesus. Repent and believe in The Gospel(Good News). “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.” Isaiah 53:5-6

Toda la gloria es para el Padre Creador del cielo y de la tierra ! Sigamos orando, reconociéndole, y él no apartará su rostro de ntra tierra ! 🇻🇪🇻🇪

That game cannot end like that. A shame.

The umpire should be credited with the save.

📣📣SEC IS COMPROMISED NOT INCOMPETENT 🚨🚨 Over and over we see the SEC called out for not doing their job "Turning a blind eye" This is called a pattern non random repeating trends. Which would make them complicit aiding and abetting criminal activity. They cry that we are underfunded. I suggest you go and ask FINRA for some of that fine money sitting in their general fund. They have a slush fund of 2 Billion. When you know a law is being broken and you do nothing about it and you have the power and authority to do so IN THE EYES OF THE LAW YOU ARE GUILTY The Markets are an absolute crime scene because they are unregulated, unaccountable and unmanageable. Because the SEC has FAILED their 3 part Mission set by Congress over 90 years ago. FORENSIC AUDIT AND INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED

So happy for these boys!

Does this count @SecScottBessent? The truck has been in front of the SEC more than 20X in recent years @Hamnakedshorts @FlyEaglesFly529

100% Cumulative pressure leads to regulators starting to CYA which in turn leads to these criminals losing their regulatory control grip their ENTIRE strategy of destroying small stocks is wholly dependent on regulatory capture take away just a few loopholes it all blows up

They have something special this year.
