Play, joy, rest and connection are human needs. Profoundly anti-bro, anti-authoritarian, and pro-democracy. I help folks design and a meaningful and satisfying life and thrive in their career. Anti-Zionist, Neo-Hasidic, humanist Jew.
Some people uphold kindness as a virtue because it helps them be better humans. Others obsess about others being ‘kind’ by which they mean “don’t confront me about any of my behavior.” The later group looks to hold others to ground floor standards while they are at floor -42 and digging.

Black workers were specifically targeted in the federal firings and position eliminations.

Jealous that she is light years more brilliant, and even if not brilliant, far better educated than #natesilverism

I love sending an email to authors whose books or articles I’ve loved, appreciated, or found important to me. I don’t do so hoping to hear back—but I hope it reminds them it’s not a great void out there for their work, it connected with and that matters. Their work touched my life. That’s beauty.

Bradly and Shep have stepped up big. Nesmith has something up, seems like the yips. They were competitive with 3 G-league guys, two real starters. This team has talent and heart. Even not winning I enjoy the game. Shooting will suck until we have more bodies, but we get to the rim, d looks good.

Some of the shots look bad coming out of the hand and others the timing/rythym is off. But gut check wise, I love what I see in terms of heart. That’s the coaching and team dynamics, even Halis leadership on the bench. I’m liking the development.

Not a conditioning issue, they don’t have bodies to carry the load. The benefit is, they all are still playing hard. That first quarter yesterday is possibly sustained with a full rotation. I think the fatigue is also part of our shooting problems.

I love that my favorite Sci Fi author is so playful and fun loving!

I’d love to watch a conversation between you, Martha Wells, Becky Chambers, and Ann Leckie. How can we make that happen? The joy of sarcasm and humor in all your works to me hits that crucial subversive note for good sci fi.

[whispers provocatively] the 1850 fugitive slave act is the model: reactionaries have the right to extend their authority across state lines, and their opponents have to actively assist them

The Nazis used the emergency powers provision of the Weimar Constitution that allowed the installation of a dictator. The constitution affected its own legal continuation and legal insignificance.

If total income was taxed, but that’s not the plan. Only the dollars after the first million have the additional tax applied.

And in two years we might get a finals rematch for the ages.

They are too well coached, too good of an organization, and play team ball. Heartbreaking tonight. And not the end of this team and it’s magic by far.

Hali will be back. This teams’ training staff is awesome and he’s got the will.

Thunders legs are TIRED. I think this game comes down to overall team fitness.

Nope, but he missed so he’s gotta get points somehow

Whistle after the ball bounces out is a…choice
