They need to take her law degree away from her and send it in an iron mountain truck to be shredded.

@neeratanden.bsky.social you did a great job keeping it together tonight with that child sitting across from you on Abbey’s show.

@officialjtapper.bsky.social really going to do a piece on new warnings about alcohol consumption on a Friday, during the 5pm hour, on this particularly awful week. 😂 Not fair, Jake.

@smerconish.bsky.social 100% agree. The comment - “not what we can afford but what payments we can afford.”

With today’s news, I sense a Cheney pardon coming from the WH.

The work of salvation, in its full sense, is (1) about whole human beings, not merely souls; (2) about the present, not simply the future; and (3) about what God does through us, not merely what God does in and for us. -- NT Wright, from Surprised by Hope

A lot of you guys are miserable because you don’t do arts and crafts. You should be having arts and crafts time at least once a week.

Hey Cliff- have you ever lived with an eating disorder? If not, maybe listen and try to understand instead of feed a problem (pun intended) even if your intentions are good.

Emotion is contagious. We literally “catch” each other’s sentiments and feel what they are feeling. This is the basis of empathy. (Johnson)

Mirror neurons are wild and crazy things. (Me)

Life’s challenges taught me this: it’s not about perfection, it’s about showing up real. Growth happens when we embrace the messy parts, trust our story, and connect with others through authenticity. That’s where true impact begins.

Yes! I thought so too.

Sad fact...

Imagine if u can make someone's life a little less heavy? Isn't that love?

Whether we realize it or not, we are all modeling something, our lives are telling a story.

The human ego prefers anything, just about anything, to falling, or changing, or dying. The ego is that part of you that loves the status quo – even when it's not working. It attaches to past and present and fears the future. —Fr. Richard Rohr

The state of our hearts is more important than our plans. Plans work out or they don't. Our hearts define our lives. (goff)

Leaders, if your “team-building exercise” involves trust falls, here’s a pro tip: Build trust with actions, not gravity. Start with listening, not catching.

Leaders, if you think trust comes with your job title, that’s adorable. Trust is built through honesty, empathy, and not making every decision sound like a TED Talk.

Leaders, if your response to a tough question is to “circle back later,” your team knows what that means. Just say, “I don’t know”—they’ll respect you more for it.

Raise your EQ with art - even if you’re not “good” at art:

Shadow Work Through Art

Explore your “shadow self” (hidden fears or insecurities) by creating a mixed-media piece that contrasts light and dark elements. This builds self-awareness and compassion.

Leaders, if your team looks like they’re auditioning for The Walking Dead, it’s time to stop blaming “quiet quitting” and start asking how you can help.

I’m old enough to remember MTG showing naked pics of Hunter Biden on the Congressional floor during their investigation. Hunter is neither:
A: Member of Congress
B: Accused of Sexual assault.

There was no reason then and all the reasons now.

Release the report.

Leaders, if you think EQ is a new crypto coin, we’ve got some work to do. It’s not about investing in trends—it’s about investing in people.

Leaders, if you’re treating trust like it’s a vending machine—push a button, get respect—you’re going to run out of change. Relationships don’t work like that.

It's only a matter of time before Donald Trump tries to buy Greenland again.

Someday historians may call this period we're living in the "Unenlightenment."

Leaders, if you’re wondering why people don’t trust you, here’s a hint: They’re allergic to B.S. Honesty is the antihistamine.
