Today King Charles said, “The law must take its course.”

That’s the tone leaders should set when serious allegations surface: remove titles, step back, allow process to work.

A stark contrast to how many powerful U.S. figures respond.

No theatrics. Just accountability and consequences.

What is something that is totally normal for you to do now, that you couldn’t have done before you started using AI?

Turning Homeless Men Into Wi-Fi Hotspots At SXSW Ignites Debate BBH Labs, the "skunkworks" of marketing firm Bartle Bogle Hegarty, created "Homeless Hotspots" in Austin for the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival that's now under way in the Texas capital. The…

I just randomly remembered that that time they turned homeless people into roaming WiFi hotspots for SXSW. 🙀😬

How do you think people would react if we saw this happen now?

Bitcoin dropping so much signaled to me that something’s up.

It’s like someone preparing to leave an abuser. Calculated & quiet moves: secure documents, find a new place, open new accounts, move the money.

As 80s-90s movies taught me; the transfer of all funds comes just before the big reveal.

Recent ICE tactics have deeper implications.

Posing as stranded drivers. Utility workers. Blending into neighborhoods.

When helping feels risky, trust erodes. And when neighbors stop helping neighbors, power grows unchecked.

The answer isn’t fear. It’s more community.

What's one skill you've always wished you could master instantly? And why do you think you haven't achieved it yet?

Pam Bondi says “could of”.
😂
good thing language isn’t important in the law or anything.

“If I could of answered”

My church held a training to teach people how to observe ICE safely and respond in a legal way. Now some are calling for its nonprofit status to be stripped.

This is ridiculous - our democracy thrives when people are able to hold our government accountable and exercise their free speech.

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Those are the kind of memories that stick with a kid for life. I love it! 😊

P.S. I’m totally stealing this idea and doing it with my son.

Why are we pretending there are only two ways to think?

The letter behind our names on the ballot shouldn't be defining factor in how we lead. What's good for our families shouldn't be a "Democrat" or "Republican" idea - it's an Iowa idea.

I keep thinking about how I read a quote about overthinking
and kept overthinking the quote.

I think I think that thinking is making me think too much. 🤔

After Decades of Decline, Some Good News Is Here for Green Sea Turtles The International Union for Conservation of Nature no longer considers the marine creatures endangered and has instead reclassified them as a species of least concern

How about some good news?

Green Sea Turtles have been taken off the endangered species list! 😊

It feels like we’ve been living through this for so long. We just recently got below 1200 days left in Pumpkin Spice Palpatine’s term.

Not that counting or anything.

Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel will return to late night on Tuesday

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Sen. Grassley calls Trump's tariffs "stupid policy" citing farming concerns Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is pushing back against former President Donald Trump’s tariffs, calling them “stupid policy” during an interview with RFDTV.“Why dr

Senator Grassley is right about this. Across-the-board tariffs are pushing our ag economy closer to the brink. I lived in rural Iowa through the 1980s farm crisis and saw banks close and families lose their farms. We can’t afford to go through that again.

They would look great on the riverwalk, perhaps between the third Avenue bridge and the Great America building. There are already metal railings there, but these would look great and still be within view of their original location.

The idea that it's about more than Democrats vs. Republicans - that’s the heart of this campaign. Not redder or bluer, but better and truer.

I’m lucky mine waits until 4:03am. Most accurate clock in my house.

I dream of a better world. A world where chickens can freely cross roads without having their motives questioned.
