You could go to a bad person to help you feel good about yourself. They have a particular set of skills. They might explain it away. You cannot go to a good person to feel good about yourself. When you go to a good person, they just behave exactly like themselves and never bring it up.

Around 75000 years ago, people hit a bottleneck. Suddenly, in a very new world, groups that figured how to work together were more important that the girl who had a great immune system or the guy who could run a little faster. Diversity became a survival asset. Cooperation too. Both still are.

I am embarrassed to admit this. I just found a thing called "The Book of Cool" which I bought, and never looked at.

Diversitification is an asset in a free market, but a liability in an authoritarian one. The opportunity for the state to hurt an "enemy" corporation is enormous.

Someone should buy a place and name it ANTIFA WORLD HQ. That way every time someone blames Antifa for something, a reporter could call that place and he could say, "Nope. That wasn't us."
I'm sure that would clear things right up.

Comparisons off the dome for you know the two who....
Both didn't drink, didn't smoke, cheated on taxes, had wealthy benefactors, made shitty drawings.
They attacked churches, universities, press, the courts, free speech, free assembly, free markets, free people.

Attacks on libraries, museums, research, statistics, law firms, universities, due process, power of the purse, civil servants, meteorologists, national guard deployments, social security, international commitments, and hiring people with relevant experience.
Also DOGE sucked.

It's all well and good to court respect from the disrespected. It's better than good to set your mind to doing something about that disrespect.

You can't trust someone just cause they have a degree, and you also can't just trust someone who never ever passed a test.

I've been trying to stop explaining myself to other people. I think "it's ok if im not understood" is not only true, but good advice.

Buddy is home from hospital. Job is doing great, and I get to see a friend I haven't seen in ten years next weekend. Take time to appreciate if you can.

My recipe for satisfaction is meaningful work, and something I can name that I'm looking forward to..
I wish that meaningful work didn't feel like it was politics right now. I prefer making a sandwich for a friend.

This is my idea so no one can steal it unless they do a really good job and they don't half ass steal it. I mean if you are going to take it please take it the way Ray Croc robbed those guys who invented McDonalds, the way the Microwave guy got a 2 dollar bonus.

I didn't used to think much about symbols outside of art. Now they trouble me.
Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Lots of rallies. Military parades. Attempted to seize power, then got elected. Scapegoated a minority. Broke his word. Sold out former friends. Attacked schools, judges, and the press. Endorsed violence. Loyalty purges after taking power. People got grabbed off the street with no cause

I know seventeen ways to mess with percentages and still be accurate, which is 247 percent more than your average American.
I squint whenever percentages and averages are used in politics.

In literature class, we appreciate a well rounded character. In America, not so much. We like characters more than we like character lately.

Newsworthy= That which does not happen very often, gets attention, and holds it (and also some facts to add some class).
