manspreading to make space for my mansplaining that the feathered headdress I'm wearing is not the jocular insensitivity of a frat bro but a macroappreciation for those on the color spectrum through the sensitive prismed eyes of an uncolored boy
A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
it took nearly 25 years from Tiger's first pro start to add $300 million
it took 4 years from LIV's birth
(note: LIV launched in 2021, it was announced in 2019. the preceding graphic incorrectly switched these)
LIV was arguably the best thing ever for the American golfer, financially speaking
even more than the Tiger Effect
sandbaggers everywhere, thank your local Saudi
It's official: LIV is dead. In New Jersey Bankruptcy Court, LIV lawyers confirmed the company will be winding down. @TheAthletic
taken further, the taking of perspectives can become part of the overall process
Google Street View contains a world full of perspectives to be adopted
an offering to the conceptual, like a time-based juxtaposition
this process gets taken further
the iPhone, with it's familiar aspect ratio
the printer, with its warm inking effects
and plastic wrap, with it's light warping effects

fines have ranged from $5,971 - $11,492 for uniform violations this year, so the total isn't egregious by comparison
but in the immortal words of Gavin Newsom: "It's interesting"
as in most good design, it touches both the simple and complex in confident ways
simple, "empty" UI, which departs from the typical toolbar-heavy notebooking software
complex, gpu-rendered "inklets" which depart from vector or bitmapped graphics and appeal more to manipulation

extensibility through "hands and paper" is another welcome drop of design sanity
recurse via the essence of the design
handwritten elements becoming reusable components embraces the freeform nature
the idea that most "persistent on-screen chrome is not meant to benefit your thinking" is a refreshingly sane one
for some interfaces, like a notebook, the Best UI is No UI

It truly is pathetic, the lack of any backbone to defend what they advocate for
Here, we see shaming tactics by a "str8 shooter" to the most basic of responses
Guess the gun jammed....
“I’m not in the industry” as his pockets fill with industry bucks
Open Philanthropy, now rebranded as Coefficient Giving, is an obvious pro-industry pipeline meant to launder support through “independent researchers”
So why pretend it’s not?
we need little more evidence of Trump's complicity with such a plan than his own words, which almost always must be inverted
i think this theory of the motive behind Kirk's death is the most compelling, and complete
the maximalist interpretation of the set of facts presented is that Miriam Adelson has hijacked our federal government and partnered with TPUSA to facilitate the trafficking of guns to West Bank settlers, in a push to accelerate it's occupation
absolutely nuts

the most accurate PGA Tour pro Russell Henley hits pretty similar positions to early 2000s Tiger
stats are pretty similar too
distance is somewhat different
Tiger had a bit more leverage and used ground forces and rotation more athletically, with similar wrist characteristics
if we compare 2001 Tiger to a long drive guy, Jamie Sadlowski in blue, we see that they're almost identical through the backswing, before Jamie starts hinging the hell out of the club
speed, yes
spray-fest? also yes
golf is less a game of distance then it is direction
sticking with tiger early 2000s as our comparison, note the difference in width
the more you hinge, the more you unhinge
which creates more room for variance, and i'd argue, more inconsistency
if you can't be consistent, your long game suffers
a 50yd shot for Seve looks very similar to a mid iron a few frames in
some coaches might appreciate the consistency across swings
but as a mildly informed non-instructor, i have to pushback
the wrists are a fickle beast
if you can reduce their hinging, you should
pitches, sand shots and flops want much more variance in effective loft, particularly to create height in the shot
some of this is ball-positioning, but the wrists play a large role
Seve's short game strength was powered by his hinging (20yd flop here)
"Take Club Back Steeply"
to put a finer point on this, we can compare Seve's wrist hinge to Tiger's circa 2002
notice how quickly the club gets off the ground and how "narrow" it becomes at the top
great for a pitch or flop, not for the full swing
but why?
