We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82. Am I doing this right?

Can all the educated, thoughtful people agree NOT to stoop to calling everything we don’t like a “syndrome” because maybe we know better? Come on @stevenpinker.bsky.social you’re above this.
"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Tonight was the season finale of #WhiteLotus I logged into #InsightTimer like I do every night before bed and the quote on the loading screen: “No mud, no lotus.” —Thich Nhat Hanh I see what you did there. #WellPlayed Insight Timer. The TV drama lover in me sees the TV drama viewer in you
Okay finance peeps—we need a new @ellevest.bsky.social STAT! I want to put my money where my values are.

Disorganized nonsense. We need quick, calculated, and decisive action. If you’re a nonprofit or community organization trying to save democracy please respect and appropriately leverage the skills and time given by your volunteers. 2/2

Hey #storytelling experts—is there a framework for explaining how the story ends after a #shitshow jumps the shark? I think we’re living that, but I’d appreciate a spoiler so I know what’s coming next. I’m past being entertained by surprises.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.
