I made a choice to stay offline as much as possible today. I read some RPGs, finished building a LEGO set, played some video games, I walked my dog twice.

You know what I'm going to say: it was a great choice, with no downside. I highly recommend it.

Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

I sincerely did not believe it was possible for FIFA to be more corrupt or disgraceful, and I'm genuinely impressed that they managed to surprise me.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
