Sharing my truth. I'm not at the #NoKings protest today b/c I need to protect my mental health. But I support them, and I'm proud of Spokane for showing up by the thousands. open.substack.com/pub/jacarche...

Wow. Coeur d’Alene Golf Carts is so comfortable with hate, they’re posting this kind of garbage straight from their business account. No shame, just bigotry on display.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

If you thought the Costco experience sucked before, oh God, it’s only getting worse. Seems there are new rules everyday to abide by and they continue to move product around making it a pain to find anything. I dread going to Costco.

This is actually useful!

THESE are the tattoos we should be worried about… Valknut: historically Norse, used by some white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

Spokane, these are your neighbors’ responses to Spokane News reporting on an overdose and Narcan being administered. The lack of empathy is disturbing. They don’t want solutions. They want to feel superior, parading their judgment as if it’s a substitute for compassion.

I watch a lot of guitar tutorials on YouTube, but this is the first one that feels like Stuart Lehman was court-ordered to make it as restitution. It’s a good video though! youtu.be/177BrdWNk4Y?...
