My son is rightfully flipping out that his high school administration is using AI to generate janky ass graphics and flyers, but they also tell the students don’t use AI under any circumstance. One more year and we’re done with public schools.

Yes, what would happen if the president went stark-raving mad? A question we all get the answer to everyday now. Oh, if only the idea of a lunatic in the White House was still fiction!

A photo of a book called Night of Camp David. The tagline says “what would happen if the president of the USA went stark-raving mad?” That tagline is circled to bring it to attention. A photo of the back of a paperback book named Night of Camp David. One particular blurb on the back stating: “it could happen, someday it probably will” has a giant arrow pointing to it.

Occasionally I have the opportunity to offer advice to someone younger than me (my kids, direct reports, etc.) and my major go-to is just to give them confidence with this: You got this. People stupider than you have done this before. You’ll do it even better.

Got home from this physically and emotionally exhausting trip. I had slipped two bottles of wine I was gifted into the dirty laundry bag. Forgot I had done that 17 hours ago. I tossed the bag onto the porch. Both bottles shattered. Absurdly appropriate ending to the week.

A few months before my daughter was born, friends had a daughter and she was my “practice baby.” After my daughter was born, I got a picture with both of them. We moved a year later. Twelve years later, we visited and recreated the photo. Today, ten years later, we were able to recreate it again.

Three pictures stacked, each showing the same three people about ten years apart.
