The weather has been amazing this past month in WA. Glad to know you’re local. Way to represent!

Hegseth didn’t take any ownership for any part of the assessment or decision. He put all of it on DJT.

It’s ok to be cheesy. You have the right energy for this. :)

I’m proud of you for doing this. I remember your first post, and seeing you do this is from a seed of a challenge is awesome. You are a credit to the tech entrepreneur world. :)

When I was in the Navy in the ‘90s it always sucked when we saw them load steak, lobster, and beer onto the ship

I think it will happen next summer. He will create a crisis then start rounding people up. Academics and political opponents first, then judges.

I for one am starting to celebrate TACO Tuesdays.

It’s a crazy world when Rand Paul is the voice of reason in the GOP.

One of my majors in undergrad (1989) was criminal justice. The second week of class we covered Habeus Corpus/due process/Miranda. So I often forget that not everyone knows about this.

Opinion | Linda McMahon: Accountability Returns to Student Loans We’re ending a Covid-era deferment plan that Biden kept in place far too long.

Somehow when the head of the Dept of Ed, a billionaire wrestling executive known for destroying her wrestlers health and livelihoods starts talking about student debt not being a “victimless crime,” after gutting the department, I can’t seem to see her point.

I am not Catholic but woke to the somber news of the Pope’s passing. He was a voice of compassion and hope in a world consumed by anger and cruelty.

Hmmm Alito and Thomas again erring on the side of autocracy and oligarchy. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.

I teach Leadership, Ethics and Social Impact, and Supply Chain Management at a University with many international students on student visas. This is not a good time right now.

I am interested. Let’s talk.

If we degrade respect for due process for the least of us, our constitution and Bill of Rights is meaningless for all of us.

We could create a ND think tank. I think most thinks are heavily ND, but a lot of us don’t get invited to the party. We could create our own Think Tank.

I learned about my Autism during Covid because of high masking. I do think that aspects of autism are an evolutionary adaptation. My version happens to come with intelligence and a strong sense of justice that outweigh many of the negatives. Net positive for humankind, other opinions may vary. :)

How can so much wealth look like a double wide?

People often want vaccines to be the cause of autism, because if it’s genetic they will have to look in the mirror.

In the gap between stimulus and response is the story we tell ourselves. Anger and resentment are the stories we tell ourselves when we fear an imagined future. Sometimes we are truly in danger, but most times fear is the mindkiller…

Awesome! Do it right and scale appropriately. We’re pulling for you. :)

I used my crystal ball last week and said “I bet Trump is going to put tariffs on all automobile imports. We should buy a second car before he does that because prices will go up on all cars, new and used.”
We bought a used Subaru yesterday. Trump announced tariffs on all imported automobiles today

You used the perfect words to go along with my emotional reflection. It’s a cautionary series. :)

The sequels to The Great Gatsby are really The Grapes of Wrath, Catch-22, and Slaughterhouse-5. Dress accordingly.

Every GOP legislator with an MBA needs to give it back. You didn’t learn simple economics or supply chain. Obvious legacy degrees, definitely NOT MERIT!!!!
(It hurt to write like that)

The U.S. Economy Depends More Than Ever on Rich People The highest-earning 10% of Americans account for almost 50% of all consumer spending.

Wall Street Journal saying the quiet part out loud.

I loved my TI-99/4A. The speech synthesizer was awesome. I learned to code games in BASIC on that little machine.

Don’t read Wicked or Parabke of the Sower… it won’t help.

Be the best you you can be today. Even if the bar is low, reach for it.

Presence opens the Gifts of Life - grace, joy, love, and gratitude. Are you here? Are you really here?
