Such a great first drive today. Went to straight 💩 after that.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

The VA finally moved the needle on my claim. I called today to schedule my appointments, and I’ve now been on hold for well over an hour.

“please don’t be offended by this, but your FIL isn’t a Trumper, is he?” Of course none of us in our home are, but if felt great knowing there are others around us who feel the same way. Something that’s been hard to find in the golf community.

Met some really cool people today. Got paired with some older, retired guys that live in my neighborhood during golf today. While exchanging #s afterwards, I told them about my FIL who recently retired. It would be good for him to hang out with other guys his age. Before they obliged, they said…

The best sign I’ve seen today

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Thunderbolts* is legit!

What an emotional rollercoaster this book is!

His only justification to “many of them don’t work at all” is based on remote work. He doesn’t want to accept the fact that remote workers have a better overall QoL because he is too focused on real estate that no longer serves a purpose.

THIS! Growing up poor, I never realized why I was getting cut every year from teams until I was in my early twenties. I had abilities/knowledge; however, my mom didn’t have the understanding of getting me specialized coaching, nor would she have been able to afford it.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Equating our greatest strength to “things you can shoot” and “raw power” is not only stupid, but it implies that our military only exists to kill. Our military is so much more than trained killers.

Military Ordered to Purge Social Media Sites of Diversity Mentions by March 5 Building lethality in the military may be the buzzword for the new Trump administration, but busywork and paperwork have become the reality at the Pentagon, as service members and civilian workers are...

If official platforms can no longer champion it, we have to do it ourselves. Diversity is our greatest strength! Ten toes down, I’ll die on that hill. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

I thought it would be a completely stupid movie, but Dog Man is HILARIOUS! My 4 year old loves it.

Working From Home Is Powering Productivity A fivefold increase in remote work since the pandemic could boost economic growth and bring wider benefits

Also, a person who literally works from their house shouldn’t be lecturing America about WFH with largely baseless claims about productivity being down, in my opinion.

The surrounding businesses adjacent to WFH supportive industries (food/retail) have taken a hit, but many people don’t want to work for a company that’s making them return to the office full time when they’ve experienced the benefits of WFH.

If people are not violating laws/rules and there is no conflict of interest, there should be no issue if people are collecting a second pay check. The real issue is that real estate sits dormant and in many cases continues to serve less of a purpose w/ productivity increasing due to hybrid work.

Statistics show that productivity is actually up when employees have the option to work from home. If people can be productive and still take part in recreational activities during the workday, then it’s not an issue. Working from home allows more flexibility.

I truly believe my professors missed the mark this weekend. As a marketing and communications program, our homework assignment should’ve been to watch the SB commercials and analyze x# different styles of ads (CTA, persuasive, etc.) Would’ve been a lot easier to do than what we did have.

“We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”

Too many have either forgotten what we stand for, or they’re too blind to see how far they’ve strayed.

I agree that she should’ve been considered as a lead. I guess the studio felt differently 🤷‍♂️. I think she absolutely carried the entire film. However, if I were to be considered by many to be a lead, and I only was campaigned for as a supporter, I’d still campaign my butt off to win.

As much as I loved Wicked, this is Zoe’s award.

11AM: How bad could the new administration be?

4PM: And Elon did that how many times?

They will lie, bullshit, and distract, so it's very important for all of us to say what we see with our own eyes. The fascist Co-President threw a defiant Nazi salute on inauguraton day.

“To the people today who are losing their minds about businesses that “go woke” or that implement DEIA initiatives: You are going to look like those boycotters when history is eventually told and you’re on the wrong side of it.” (2/2)

From Dylan Roche:
“Just remember in the ‘50s, Jimmy Carter was the only white man in Plains, GA, who refused to join the White Citizens Council despite overwhelming social pressure to do so, and in response, many community members boycotted his business. (1/2)

Celebrating the small wins. After waking up before 0500 every single day for the past 2 weeks, our kids have officially slept past 0530 today.
