You know how people say that they slow down when they get tailgated?

This is the audiobook equivalent for me:

Report finds that water is wet. On the other hand, snow is cold.
Screenshot of an Inside Higher Ed story with the following headline: Right-Leaning Faculty Likelier to Be 'Hostile' to Jews, Report Finds. Summary of the rest of survey: On the other hand, non-Jewish faculty who identify as "extremely liberal" were more likely to be hostile to Israel, a survey found. But 90 percent of all non-Jewish faculty were hostile to neither Jews nor the country.

Re-reading some literature from my Toxic Leadership course and came upon this beauty of a diagram from The toxic triangle: Destructive leaders, susceptible followers,
and conducive environments
Art Padilla, Robert Hogan, & Robert B. Kaiser.
The toxic triangle: elements in three domains related to destructive leadership. Destructive leaders: charisma, personalized power, narcissism, negative life themes & ideology of hate. Susceptible Followers: Conformers - unmet needs, low core self-evaluations & low maturity & Colluders - ambition, similar world view & bad values. Conducive Environments: Instability, perceived threat, cultural values, and lack of checks & balances and ineffective institutions. From Padilla et al., The Leadership Quarterly 18 (2007) 176-194.

Directions for reporting incorrect info on Google maps, specifically, the labelling of the Gulf of Mexico. Under the send feedback feature, select incorrect and explain that the body of water is the Gulf of Mexico, not the Gulf of America

One of my favorite quotes from Jimmy Carter came from an old video called The Presidents that ran on The History Channel. Carter was the one former president who was interviewed about his time in office. He said this:
I think the main thing I learned was that you have to work with others, and you have to have dreams of greatness and sometimes you can’t be completely successful but that you ought not to let the possibility or even the prospects of disappointment deter you in setting the highest possible standards of morality and ethics and honesty and decency and peace. This is a quote from Jimmy Carter
