I continue to have faith in humanity because in the real world most people are pretty awesome.
I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin, sexuality, religion, political affiliation, ad infinitum. - The legacy of Barack Obama
Buy the best house you can afford, the best bed, the best food, learn how to appreciate coffee. Epicureanism. And of course give as much to real charities as feasible. Read more Aristotle, less hustle culture and VC podcast slop.
Honesty. Accountability. It’s the only way to rebuild trust in our public institutions.
The best explanation of the Russiagate Hoax is the movie, ‘The Plot against the President’ by Amanda Milius. Brilliant movie. I highly suggest everyone watch this.
You always hear about Walter Cronkite being a stabilizing force in American society as it once was but I don't think we hear enough about Johnny Carson.
The State Department has 80K employees. 1,300 being laid off is not even a real "layoff." It's even less than a performance review. By comparison, most of Big Tech has a policy to lay off ~5% annually.

Who’s organizing and funding this?
#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you'd wear if you're preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?
One of the most beautiful things about having a son and a nephew is recognizing not only your parents, but grandparents, great-grandparents, all generations as far as you can see, flickering before your eyes at certain angles like a little prism rainbow on a surface
Americans should be able to buy homes, raise families, eat hamburgers, watch baseball - and have an ice cream. This should be the focus of politics. Not drone attacks or bombing cities into oblivion on the other side of the world.
Explain why our electric bills never decrease, even though we have swapped to all LED lights, energy star appliances, built massive solar and wind farms.
Congress should not be allowed to leave for their five week vacation in July until a revised and thoughtful Big Beautiful Bill is passed.
