I love the Ten Commandments.
I’ve tried to build my life on the Ten Commandments.
But forcing teachers to post the Ten Commandments violates the most important commandment: love thy neighbor.

We need to dispel some rumors. There is ZERO fentanyl trafficking on both of our HIMI islands. In fact, while our Gentoo penguins can travel hundreds of miles to bring partners their favorite pebble, they are incapable and unwilling of carrying even an ounce of illicit drugs.

We often mistake complexity with knowledge.
A recent study found that people use jargon when they lack perceived status. They are compensating.
When we aren't secure in our knowledge or understanding, we complexify. When we know what we're talking about, we focus on clarity.

"You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." -- some lib, now owned
Dave Brat, a Senior VP at Liberty University, said today on a local news interview that the tariffs are following “reciprocity,” which he said is the Golden Rule: “whatever you do to us, we’re gonna do to you.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Some thoughts on Wednesday-night’s tragic air accident near Washington, DC:
The mid-air collision of American Airlines flight 5342 and a US Army VH-60 helicopter is highly personal for me. It literally hits close to home as I live approximately three miles away from National Airport.

Endurance sport is mental training
You are alone in your head for long periods of time with ever increasing levels of discomfort. You have a goal that half your mind is screaming to abandon
You repeat this day after day & have no option but to figure it out

Mom would have been 82 today. She died at 55. I recently realized that I am now older than she ever was, which seems like a fundamental wrongness in the universe.
I was particularly thinking about her penchant for taking a direct and vivid role in her schools’ disciplinary approaches. /1

Should we ice injuries?
New review finds:
-Icing can impair the inflammatory and regeneration process over the long term
-It can reduce sensation of pain
-If you decide to ice, do so in the acute phase (first few hours) and not 12hr+ post injury

Cross Country is a great metaphor for life.
From the outside, it looks like an individual sport. A bunch of people running their own race.
But in reality, it's a team sport.
The sooner we embrace the team aspect, the better we perform, and the more joy and connection we create.
Same with life.
