Free you mind! People lie. Question everything. Validate answers. Trust is a precious commodity, don't give it freely.

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.

You got the receipts? 🤣 Gretzky had eyes on the back of his head. You obviously never witnessed his greatness. Gretzky is worth 2 Lemieux's and 3 Crosby's. Here are the receipts kid.
UNACCEPTABLE in today's educational society. @CarnegieMellon MUST do better than placing someone of "Dr." Uju Anja on leave and wait for this to "blow over." This institution receives MILLIONS of tax payer dollars anually. This "educator" has a history of this type of vial rhetoric and has no business in the educational system.
Evidence of "Dr." Uju Anja and Hate Speech and Racial Hostility
Critics, including, public figures, and university officials, argue that her public remarks constitute hate speech, racial hostility, or unprofessional conduct.
Hostile Rhetoric: Critics point to social media exchanges where she used highly confrontational, race-targeted language. For instance, in response to allegations that she celebrated the deaths of white individuals (following comments she made about Rush Limbaugh), she posted, "Die first, white man, then ask yourself why I'm dancing". [1] (timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…), [2] (nitter.gq/i/grok/share/931cff6d7…)
Celebration of Death: Critics also condemn her public wishes for the "excruciating" deaths of historical figures like Queen Elizabeth II, whom she referred to as the leader of a "thieving raping genocidal empire". [1] (theconversation.com/to-foste…), [2] (theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…)
Institutional Distancing: In September 2026, Carnegie Mellon University placed Dr. Anya on voluntary professional leave and launched an investigation into what they characterized as "hostile and threatening social media posts," clarifying that her views do not align with the institution's values or community standards.

This guy draws the golf equivalent of a hostage situation...
and somehow gets up and down.
Wasn't it Vice President Kamala Harris who said, "when someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time"
Wow, He has always been showing Californians who he was and yet ... They voted for him?
@GavinNewsom still fucking up California and you keep voting for this idiot reap what you sow California
Hartley is diabolical. The WNBA is targeting and there needs to be an investigation immediately. They can start with that WORTHLESS commissioner.

Full bodycam footage released of Rhode Island Special Assistant AG Devon Flanagan and her friend being arrested for trespassing.
Flanagan was seen getting a police car door shut in her face after she and her friends mentioned about 20 times that she is an AG.
Flanagan is facing charges of willful trespass, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
She has reportedly worked in the attorney general's office for about 7 years.
This footage is a masterpiece.
