[T]he Wired story describes a coup—a takeover of government by a self-appointed group that wasn’t duly elected by the American people. Musk and his crew of men barely out of their teens haven’t taken an oath to serve, and they are not accountable to the public.

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

A few random thoughts about Yoon's attempted coup/martial law:

1. It is so outrageous I am having trouble getting my head around it. I was in Korea in 1987 and I remember martial law. This is one of the dumbest moves by a Korean president in its history.

2. Yoon's fate is sealed...

Good initial read from Karl. Good God. I remember the mid-1980s...this I did not expect.
This is absolutely not the news I would have dreamed of waking up to. South Korea's Yoon declares emergency martial law. to I have some scattered thoughts to follow. m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN2024...

The result has been deeper learning and engagement with the subject

Our class panel is my favorite part of reunion homecoming. I was honored to join my classmates at Stanford Memorial Church to discuss finding meaning, connection, and wellbeing going into our “third chapter”.

Spoiler: most of us are still working our way through it.🤞🙂🙏
