My dad died last week and I'm realizing that I don't have any saved voicemails from him, because he was my favorite person so I always picked up. If you love someone right now, let them go to voicemail.

Last night, my kid's team won their baseball game because someone hit an inside-the-park grand slam. After the game, that kid's grandfather opened a tab at the concession stand and told every kid to pick a treat. I need more of this in the world and less of everything else that's going on.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
