Was at a Conference last week.
A fellow Head asked me,
"Are you @raesnape.bsky.social?"
I confirmed I was.
She said "Six years ago I visited your school. You said the secret to Headship is learning to #RideTheWaves & we should get it tattooed!"
She said she took my advice & her Deputy has one too!🌊

Brian’s daycare captured a photo of one of my favorite things he does, where he jumps up on you and puts his forehead against you and stays like that. It’s his hug. He does it with them, too.

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show.

Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up,

If you’ve ever struggled to learn to ride a bike, try ditching the pedals and focusing on balance first. It’s a simple trick that works for kids—and adults too! 🤓🚲

Here’s a handy guide to get you started: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

As California burns, new research shows smoke is wildfire’s silent killer.

The official death count from the Palisades and Eaton fires was 30 — the real number may be 15 times higher.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

How times change.

In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million.

157 years later, Russia owns the White House, and they didn't fork out a single dime.
