With freedom comes responsibility. The myth of the self-made man is the worst myth ever; "No man is an island". Equal protection for all under the law...Don't usually chat.
Bill wrote it best, Sir Ian said it better…
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This video warrants reposting again & again. ICE is not slowing down in MN. They’re just changing tactics that you must be aware of.
Please, please listen and pass this on.

Driving to and from the beach yesterday, I listened to a Winterland '74 on Sirius. Nice coincidence...could have been this one...How about a little Weather Report Suite? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya6g...

This one's mine...one of the few.
All of this sh*t is the result of The Regime being so giddy at finally having all three branches, that they rushed and botched the execution of a plan 50 years in the making. I don't think its the constitution or the Nation that will take years or decades to repair.

Borrowed but I'm going to use it like its mine. "Pay attention to what people measure."
What type of person are you?

My father would always make sure we had the same (more if it was ice cream 🥰), but I feel that now people don't share or care about others.

I joined, or more aptly “pressed” kindly into the service.
Is anyone interested in an informal Bluesky #BookClub for the first 2 (maybe even 3?) Patrick O'Brian #books in the acclaimed Aubrey-Maturin series? The NYT called it the best historical #literary series ever written!

Early March discussion date or thereabouts? We're 4 people so far. 📚👀🌊⚓ #History

Every time this post comes around I have to watch it because he's a MASTER of language and delivery
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

For some people, utopia is easy to embrace because it doesn't involve the hard work of DOING. All it requires is believing.

From a friend.
A year ago, I came up with the phrase Doom Dopamine: the unconscious reward we give people for spreading doom.

Take a minute to like positive posts.

Cause when alarmist content goes viral & positive posts get 5 likes, it engineers our brains to think doom is rewarding & positivity is not. 🧵

Save the Post Office!!!
WHO GIVES A DAMN?

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.

Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.
