If she’s a 10, you’re an asset 💯😂

Dave Portnoy sold Barstool for $551 million. His ex-wife still has full access to his bank account Shannon Sharpe: what if she spends $500,000 on a wedding to another man? Portnoy: "100%" Then Shannon tells him to cut her off. His answer is in the video below Her name is Renee. They married in 2009. He says they once lived at her parents' house They split in 2017. That is right when the money started coming in 2016: The Chernin Group buys 51%. The whole company is valued at $10 to $15 million 2020: Penn buys 36% for $163 million 2023: Penn buys the rest. Total price: $551 million Six months later Portnoy buys it all back for $1 He is reportedly worth around $150 million. He says Renee has access to all of it Shannon can't believe it. Portnoy doesn't blink: "I trust her implicitly" "She was there when we couldn't afford a hamburger" "We kind of separated when we started making it. So she doesn't get to enjoy any of that. To me, that's not right" "I won't even notice if it's gone" Here is the part most people miss. Per People, they never finished the divorce. On paper, she is still his wife He also says she could have emptied the account years ago. She never did Do the math. A $500,000 wedding is a third of one percent of $150 million. For someone with $30,000 in savings, that is $100 The case for: she stood by him when he was broke, and he refuses to pretend that never happened The case against: you do not hand a blank check to someone you are no longer with, no matter how good the history is Is Portnoy the most loyal man in America, or is this a mistake waiting to happen?

Today, after seven years of work, The Law of the Sublime is out in the world. When I started this book, I had an ambitious plan. I would go down the Amazon, find chimpanzees in the wilds of Africa, and cross the Gobi Desert, then write about those experiences of awe. Then, on a hot August afternoon in 2018, I had a stroke while driving in Los Angeles. A blood clot cut off oxygen to my brain, and within seconds I lost consciousness. When I woke up in the hospital, I learned how close I had come to the point of no return. My left hand was frozen into a claw, and I could barely feel my left leg, but something strange happened. On the ambulance ride home, I looked out at the people on the street, and for a moment I felt I could be inside their bodies and hear their thoughts. It was marvelous and weird, and I knew it was time to write this book. I couldn't type, so I wrote every page by hand, dictated it, printed it out, and edited it all over again. I couldn't take the long hikes that had carried me through my six previous books. Then one afternoon I woke from a nap in my backyard to find a grasshopper inches from my face, and I understood that this small backyard would have to be my Amazon jungle. The lizards, the hummingbirds, the insects became my teachers. My limits turned out to be a blessing. They forced me to find the Sublime in the simplest things, and that is what this book is about. Most of us live inside a circle: an everyday consciousness shaped by culture, convention, and, more and more, technology. That circle keeps shrinking, and we grow bored and restless. Just outside it is the Sublime, a realm that is frightening and exciting at once, pulling us out of our comfort zones and opening us to a much wider reality. The book maps 12 points outside that circle, and each one is a different face of the Sublime. Inside, you'll find stories of near-death encounters, astonishing discoveries, and radical changes of consciousness, along with exercises and meditations so you can feel the Sublime yourself, not just read about it. The Sublime doesn't require travel or exotic adventures. It only requires a new pair of eyes for the reality all around you. ​The Law of the Sublime is available now in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook. Thank you for your support of my work. I hope you enjoy reading this book, and I look forward to hearing your feedback. With gratitude, Robert Greene

An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands. We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn. Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built. We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond. Worth a conversation?

BREAKING 🛸 NEW. 60 Minutes clip featuring President Trump discussing UFOs.

It troubles me greatly that we do not yet see any sign of aliens

I stood with Elon and DOGE. Even when that meant standing against the GOP. I roasted Democrats for abandoning Western North Carolina during and after Hurricane Helene. I'll roast Republicans for abandoning their promises too. I just want my kids to live in a better America.

Bret Weinstein just dropped a bombshell announcement. He’s launching a new America First party. This changes everything about the 2028 election. “We will not be voting our way out of our crisis through the uniparty.” “The idea is to take over the Libertarian Party.” “And to rebrand it the American Liberty Party.” “I’m partnering with the Mises Caucus.” “The hard-headed folks who have libertarian values, but are also frustrated by the way the party functions.” “Some of us thought that we might drain the swamp by voting for a renegade.” “That does not seem to have worked.” “Overwhelmingly, the Trump administration has fallen short on many of its promises.” “I think we would be at war in Iran no matter what.” “This war was going to happen because the powers involved in the uniparty wanted this war to happen.” “Our system is built to frustrate the production of a viable third party.” “The Libertarian Party, for all of its defects, has managed to gain ballot access in all 50 states.” “That said, the Libertarian Party has historically had difficulty finding a candidate worth voting for.” “The idea is a friendly takeover of the Libertarian Party.” “The slogan [is] the new home for the America First movement.” “What we mean here is America First in the most obvious sense of the term.” “American policy should always be in the interests of the American people.” @BretWeinstein @LPMisesCaucus @ALPNational

Twitter is great but today a plane brutally crashed killing like ten people and all I’ve seen is mutuals making real dumb, poor-taste jokes or memeing about it I get that most things aren’t sacred but I figured at least mass loss of life tragedies would be Is it because you guys think you’ll get clicks and make revenue money? Where did your souls go?

The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue

Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry. He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say. Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all. His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear. Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content. His entire formula fits on a napkin. Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant. That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped. "If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius." That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying. Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority. The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years. Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since. The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.

Best Halloween costume ever. Pack it in. Just give her the trophy already.
