You can see today as 1,405 days from the end of the Trump administration, or as the first day of Spring. Both equally true, one will likely make you happier. Can’t control what happens, only how we respond to it. 🌸🌺🌿🌷🌼

Every once in a while, out of the clear blue sky, I get an intense craving for the original formulation of Cracklin Oat Bran. What the hell did they put in that stuff?

We’ve all done business with people we could trust and people we couldn’t… people who cared about relationships, and people who took every nickel off the table every time. It’s the same for countries in global affairs, and America has been a relationship driven political actor since the end of WWII.

Almond “milk” is disgusting. I really don’t get it.

I love when you can follow your delivery truck on ups. Like Santa Tracker for grownups.

Social media found a way to monetize outrage, and settled into the business of producing it at scale. It's important to pay attention to what's happening, but don't waste your energy on the amplified clown show. That's what they want. Save your outrage for the actions truly deserving of it.

Ignore what they say, tweet, the dog-whistle gestures, the baiting and trollspeak. It's lies and distraction. Save your outrage for what they do. That's what hurts people, and what will need to be undone when this kakistocracy inevitably comes crashing down. Speaking to myself here. But feel free.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Without the Roy Choi ramen hack, is it even ramen? I think not.

The first mountain is Success. When you reach the top, it feels good for a while, but then things begin to fall apart. There's nowhere to go but down, and as you descend into the valley of despair, you can only wonder why... (1/4)

Not big on "resolutions," but like the idea of consciously adding and subtracting something from my life at the start of each year. This year I plan to add more radical acceptance of what is beyond my control, and subtract more social media-fueled outrage. How about you?

Kris Kristofferson - then a broke Army vet making a living by shuttling workers out to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico - famously landed his helicopter in Johnny Cash's yard, and gave him “Sunday Morning Comin Down.” Johnny sang the song on his primetime TV show, and Kris became a star. (1/4)
