💪💪MOTIVATION MONDAY: With PSO Great Lakes & After Dark coming up this weekend, I thought I'd write about what it means to lose. I've gotten last place every single time I've competed at PSO and honestly - that's okay. *Someone* has to come in last place. Learn more about the art of losing gracefully in my latest blog post: "poised, proud, and placed last: the graceful art of losing” - violettevixen.com. LINK IN BIO

Paul Rudnick explained what he learned from the meetings of Donald Trump and world leaders, most recently Xi Jinping:
"Trump politics: Invent a problem. Concoct a drastic solution. Become a global punchline. Withdraw the solution so everything stays the same. Declare victory. Repeat."

The loser's brain: How neuroscience controls social behavior

Social hierarchies are everywhere—think of high school dramas, where the athletes are portrayed as the most popular, or large companies, where the CEO makes the important decisions. Such hierarchies aren't just limited to humans, but span the animal kingdom, with dominant individuals getting faster food access, higher mating priority, and bigger or better territories. While it's long been thought that winning or losing can influence the position of an individual within a social hierarchy, the brain mechanisms behind these social dynamics have remained a mystery.

During her book tour, Karine Jean-Pierre could not defend the garbage she that she wrote in her book. For example, she wrote it was an insult to Kamala Harris that people didn’t want her to be the presidential nominee, when Karine also wrote that “the truth was, I never really believed Harris could win”:

(sigh) Stayed up to support the #Houstontexans tonight, and I saw a team that looked as unsure, tense, & damn-near scared as they were in weeks 1-3.

Folks in the chat complained that they'd had 2 weeks to prepare & THIS was the result? I think they had TOO MUCH time: they lost the momentum they'd built up in weeks 4 & 5 while overthinking & they psyched themselves out. The bye week actually stopped their progress.

I just hope whatever mojo they got b/w weeks 3 & 4 returns fast or else we're gonna get creamed the rest of the season. I was trying to be the upbeat, positive person in the chat, even as we were losing by bigger & bigger gaps... but they were making decisions that reminded me of the ones nobody could understand the first 3 weeks again.

Hoping next week is FAR better and they get their mojo back. This team is capable of being much better, but whatever this play calling is needs to freaking stop. It's frustrating to the players AND the fans.
