I tend to be in awe at people who do performance for a living. Not just because of the amount of dedication to training and practice involved, but also because I don't know how well I would do at a job where I was responsible for my own marketing an publicity.

"What if the world was made of pudding."
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

Then when we’re stopped at the gate, way more than 11 people start grabbing their stuff and standing in the aisle.

This morning was my first day back at the gym in quite a while and I feel it already. Two-story house will be hell tomorrow.
I think most people would have ended their membership if they weren't going on the regular, but my ADHD ass kept it because I knew I'd be going back *someday.*

I wish "The Audacity of Hope" wasn't already taken, because this is hopeful as hell and I'd love to see it get developed.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Based on nothing but vibes, but it feels like too many men look for other people to tell them what a "real" man is instead of making a choice for themselves what kind of man they aspire to be. And then they find dudes who have this completely disordered definition of manliness.
