Recently read … When a clown enters a castle, he doesn’t become a king - he turns the castle into a circus. Just a “random” thought.
Had the great joy and privilege of sharing the stage with Andrew Yang. A reminder that we can (and should) expect better from our elected officials - and each other. Check out his sub stack and new company Noble Mobile.

Meanwhile, back at another platform, a topic (Tariffs) with over 2 million posts, is only 11th place trending. Curiously, every trending topic, above and below, don’t crack 5 figures!? I’m sure it is a temporary snafu. 😎

EXCELLENT retrospective on THE band of my generation - R.E.M. Thank you @willleitch.bsky.social. I got to see them "in concert" (small venue) at Bowling Green State University in 1986 or 87. My kids love their music. What's your favorite album or song?

R.E.M. taught Gen X it’s better to fade away than to burn out.

I take listicles with a grain of salt. But, when they reflect the hard work of a statewide #ecosysteming effort, this thing of ours as we refer to it, I am not above taking a victory lap.

GREAT Episode of @NewYorker Radio Hour with new member of congress, Sarah McBride. So smart on how she is managing the “warm” welcome from the GOP. Not taking the bait from trolls Nancy Mace and Mike Johnson. She is playing chess while others are playing checkers. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tny...

Sure I could be buying crap on Black Friday, or I could chill out. I think I chose well.

People in the “Find Out” stage post election. Who’d a thunk it?

This is what I don't understand about our electorate. I didn't really engage in the flawed "policy" discussions because the first basic hurdle was a hard stop. How has the premise of basic human deceny been so undervalued?
