Didn’t ‘compassionate conservatism’ supposedly used to be a thing? #proudlbrl
President Trump standing next to a group of people attending to a man who fainted and is lying on the ground and soon after RFK Jr bolted from the room. He looks completely disinterested in board and just waiting for it all to be done.

That’s no ballroom.

This is assuming ICE agents actually have an education... but to the point, this SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE TRUE!! #proudlbrl
"What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness? You know, the same as ICE gets."

I am certainly no fan of partisan, political gerrymandering, but I’m sick and tired of taking the high road every time while the other side swims in the mud to get what they want. This is definitely an exception. When Republicans relent, then we can go back to the way things were. #proudlbrl

You really have to question how responsible two founders are when they buy a billboard ad to announce their series A round, and prominently place themselves at both ends of the billboard. 🙄 #siliconvalley #tech #startup
Billboard in San Francisco that announces the $25 million series A for a startup called Artisan. Assume it's the two founders enlarged on the ad.

I’ve lost 40 pounds, the equivalent of a small microwave, a 5 year old child and more. Just hope I haven’t lost my inner child as a result. #health

Why can’t Apple figure out a way to to change the color of its icons in its new Liquid Glass UI depending on the background color? If it’s too dark, then switch them to white. #design #ux #ui

"Okay, billionaires. You have all the money. The Gilded Age barrons gave us Carnegie Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Grand Central Terminal, The Art Institute of Chicago, plus thousands of public libraries, and university institutions. The least that one of you could do is give us PBS and NPR."

I love bookmarks and Moe’s is my favorite free on-the-counter bookmark. As well as being a fantastic bookstore on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley. #books #reading #curiousbits

"It's a bit rich complaining about New York being taken over by immigrants when there's a 151-foot statue in the harbor inviting immigrants to come live there."
