The challenge is figuring out when innovation is genuine versus just a fresh coat of paint on the same concept. It’s also funny how common phrases like “terms we could do without” pop up in newsletters it shows how language itself can get tired too!

That’s an interesting point 😄 It’s easy for ideas or initiatives to feel recycled, especially in design and strategy. Sometimes repackaging “old wine in new bottles” can work, but if it becomes the norm, it can feel repetitive or even counterproductive.

It’s smart to be aware and prepared for the potential slowdown.

That’s a pretty serious warning. 😟 A drop of 5,000 students and 125 teacher layoffs is a huge ripple effect schools losing staff can definitely hit local economies hard, and consumer spending tends to follow. It really shows how policy decisions in one area can have broader economic consequences.

thats a fascinating piece of history! 😲 Bourges isn’t talked about much these days, but being the coronation site for Louis VII makes it really significant. And the connection to Eleanor of Aquitaine adds such an intriguing twist she really did have a remarkable life. The cathedral must be stunning!

Thank you

Silence always benefits the status quo. Speaking up is how change starts.

I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

Human rights aren’t negotiable. If a policy requires stripping people of their rights to work, exist, or be safe, it’s a bad policy.

Politics should be about improving real lives, not winning culture wars. People deserve healthcare, safety, dignity, and a future they can afford.

Government works for the people, not donors, not corporations, not political dynasties. Accountability shouldn’t be a radical demand.

How do I look today #beauty

Hope y’all having a good day 😍😎🤩 #wild #beauty

The world holds a special kind of beauty for women it reflects their strength, grace, and endless ability to nurture life and hope. From the colors of a sunrise to the laughter shared among friends, every moment seems to whisper that the world was made brighter by their presence.

There was an article about Pearl Jam many years ago where they played a game on the road putting celebrity names into songs.

One Pearl Jam came up with "Supermodel Kim Alexis expialidocious"

Another Pearl Jam sang "I hope someday you will join us / Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan"

I'm still impressed.

It's not an accident that Mike Johnson seemed to go out of his way to emphasize that Rob Reiner's son killed him. That was a choice. It's something every reasonable adult knows you wouldn't bring up in a respectful statement immediately following tragedy.

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters”

James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”
