What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:
“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."
[applause] 🙏🏼

I haven't been in a theatre since Covid. I haven't loved a movie in forever. I think movie makers have fallen into the birthday present trap, where you make what you think the other person wants.
The secret to a good gift, and a good movie, is something you love so much, they'll love it too.

Poignant…just now reading Jan/Feb issue of #poetsandwriters magazine. President Carter won the 2024 Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguised Acheivement Award. He was such an exceptional being. May he Rest In Peace.

Threads is an echo chamber on the left, Twitter on the Right, I hope this stays a sane normal place where some disagreement can be politely explored. Too much to ask??

I won’t be able to get them all, but I promise if I find a MAGA troll in my comments bothering readers, I’ll block them. I want the reading experience here to be a good one—just as I want that when I’m reading/commenting on others’ feeds. MAGAs are free to be here, but harass people and you’re gone.
