It’s been 3,174 days since I escaped corporate life. I was 44. My children were tiny. Now they're teenagers.
Today I turn 53, and we are infinitely happier here, in our farmhouse by the ocean. No more meetings. No more commute.
If I can escape, you can too (because I'm a dumbass). #Life #Art

Jeff Bezos appears to be wearing the wrong waistcoat for his wedding. This is a dinner suit (aka a tuxedo) and thus requires a dress waistcoat, which is cut lower on the body. He's wearing a business vest, which is designed for business suits. Needs a formal waistcoat like the one on the right.

Not enough people realize that Merrick Garland let an entire network of White Power groups that literally built Timothy McVeigh's bomb off the hook because he had the one guy that was easy to convict because he admitted to the bombing. They are still out there plotting. Garland made sure of that.
I mean, Merrick Garland went for a quick and dirty conviction of Tim McVeigh after OKC so he could score a win, while letting the people that literally built the bomb go free forever. Entire networks of White Power groups that blew up OKC were never looked at because he wanted a quick win.

![We want to be able to say stuff that other people, for institutional reasons, can’t say, or they’re too afraid to say.
You may be the only CEO in America making that promise.
We’re in a unique position, certainly. And other places have to learn from this — being afraid all the time and just constantly making transactional moves. How long can you survive like this? What is even the point of being alive if you’re just gonna continue managing rot? And it seems like that’s what 98 percent of people are doing in these media companies right now. I don’t know, take a chance. Nobody likes what’s happening. Especially if you’re a journalism company or a media company, you’re [meant to be] actually reflecting what people want or what people believe. So get some guts and do something interesting. It’s not that hard.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreihhqahdsympkilcsdqyztdudygmevh2ioksi2kzbtdo7kbilcnalu@jpeg)
