I enjoy the absurdity of humanity. Perfect is boring. Things to say about communities, tech, culture, leadership, L&D, and social dynamics.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Adorable - also, there are a lot of great dads out there ♥️
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Someone posts about the drop in arrests in our town and instead of being excited, people were complaining… about lack of active policing, doubt it represented a drop in crime, etc, etc.

These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Here’s a crazy - but plausible - theory:
Trump was Epstein’s financial partner. He married Ivana and Malania to pay them off/make it impossible to testify against him/get prenups.
He is paying Ivanka/Jared off w access to Saudis because she was a victim and she’s smart enough to take him down.

I suspected they would, yeah. Curious to see if the courts will smack them around for disobeying court orders.
I honestly didn’t think we would see THIS many redactions - Trump must be all over those files.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It sounds like Memphis is basically an occupied city, and part of the reason we don’t see more of it is that people are scared.
Adults aren’t working, kids aren’t in school, and if you are not white, you are getting pulled over all.the.time.
This is unAmerican - and illegal.

Wow. Powerful.
If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

There are so many simple yet powerful truths here. AI is a mechanism to turn us into standardized parts /sheep in service of an ownership class.
I’ve been thinking a lot about who has the skill of resisting and challenging what is served up as “reality” - so many people don’t have it.
