“The shortest path is the one you don't abandon.” Shane Parrish nailed it with this one.

If you’re in the tourism space, you’ll want to sign up for this.

Ah more enshitification. I was going to suggest the platform as a nice digital product option but I guess won't now

Ugh. Won’t be using that anymore.

Thank you @ccndoc.bsky.social

Alexi Pappas on time: “'I don’t have enough time' is not a useful phrase when it comes to anything related to your dream. It’s okay to actively choose to do something or not, but don’t blame time.”

I’ve never thought about it until now but it makes a ton of sense.

Happy Sunday my friend!!

Glad you made it through. Happy showering!!

Having breakfast (not alone) and looking forward to the joy it will bring me.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

With apologies to Bob Ross, I’m more of a Jackson Pollack artist.

Teacher ordered to remove signs from classroom, including one saying ‘Everyone is welcome here’ "There are only two opinions on this sign: Everyone is welcome here, or not everyone is welcome here,” argues Sarah Inama, a sixth-grade history teacher.

What in the hell is happening here? How can ANYONE try to claim a sign that says “everyone is welcome here” is controversial?

Make these fuckers explain themselves. Specifically, who is not welcome and please, put it in writing.

I hate it here. It’s so appallingly ignorant and racist.

The World Happiness Report came out yesterday, and here's their main finding: Acts of benevolence — helping others — predict happiness more strongly than income.

What are you doing to help others? Do you find it makes you happy? It sure does for me. Every little act does.

That would be something amazing!!

Any meal I shared with you and the fam was awesome!!

Ah Arkansas. That bastion of common sense and human decency. /sarcasm

Truly amazing people are defending this.

World Happiness Report: Finland named as happiest country for eighth year Access to nature and a strong welfare system are cited as factors as Nordic nations dominate the rankings.

Can you look at these 9 photos and not smile on International Day of Happiness? March 20 is International Happiness Day — a day that the United Nations had dedicated to the celebration of joy. We asked photographers around the world to share a picture that can bring bliss.

You may think this is a frivolous question, but today — March 20 — is in fact International Day of Happiness. Declared by the United Nations in 2013, this special day recognizes the importance of happiness as "a fundamental goal" in people's lives around the world.

Need a happy day. So I shall make a happy day.

I’ve had a few “bad days” recently. Maybe you have too. When I am honest with myself and I look at the day that was bad, I realize it was just a few things that took less than 5 minutes of my day. I didn’t have a bad day, I had a few crappy things that happened to make me think the whole day was bad

Fred Rogers was born 97 years ago today, March 20, 1928. He’s someone I learned a lot from.

“Look for the helpers” is my favorite nugget of wisdom learned from him.

Happy Birthday, Mister Rogers. Thanks for all you taught and continue to teach even after your death.

Heck yes. So glad for me as well!!

“Never have we been more connected. Yet actual connection is increasingly scarce.” @annhandley.bsky.social nails it in her newsletter this week.

Chamath Palihapitiya ® Au @chamath Follow Make no mistake, just like in a private company, these are losses. America is deeply unprofitable, far away from breaking even and if outsiders stop lending us money, we will go bankrupt. So, in case you didn't know better, if you are still wishing DOGE to fail, you are wishing for America to default.

“America is deeply unprofitable” it’s a country not a B2B startup you fucking dweeb

“It is a beautiful thing to get out there and get to know the world. It’s fundamental. We in the United States are only about 4% of humanity, meaning the other 96% is out there.” -Rick Steves
