I once saw 4 homeless guys sitting in a semi circle in the back of a deserted parking lot in the middle of a Sunday having more fun than all the wealthy people I've ever worked for have for years on their big beautiful lawns.

I firmly believe in balance in all aspects of life. That's why I set aside time every week to be miserable and avoid self-improvement.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections.
This particular decision was a fait accompli.

So many people are asking what to do? Mentors and people I follow have been silent. I'm not pointing any fingers. I don't think anyone on earth is (or should be) an expert on surviving dictatorship.

What's going on in the world today has forced me to look deeply at all the hateful things I've said and done in my life.
Nobody is perfect... but at the end of the day.. THEY NOT LIKE US.

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away.
It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.
