An update from my New Year’s resolution to compliment people more, especially focusing on when people are just exceedingly good at their jobs. I love it. I notice more good things. People are genuinely thankful to be told they are amazing. Everyone wins.

"It was the worst type of magical thinking to imagine Trump would have any serious constraints in a second term ... If his voters believed he wouldn’t be stupid and malevolent enough to obliterate the economy for no good reason, they simply didn’t pay attention to his first term or 2024 campaign."

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

This was a first even for me as governor. To Everly and Gunnar's teachers, here's the proof that they recited their Spring poems — and perfectly, might I add! Here's hoping that my signature passes inspection.

A squirrel was extremely curious while I was doing "office hours" with U of Michigan students ahead of a panel I was on last week. One of the students laughed and pointed it out and I got some close up pics of the wannabe Wolverine.

Seeing a lot of posts about Andrew Cuomo. Did he harass and assault women? Yes. Did he help keep Republicans in power in NY and give them seats to control the House now? Yes. BUT, would he have good policies that help NYC? Absolutely not.

Every time Trump turns to a liberal institution to demand cooperation, it should be a reminder that he can’t accelerate the spread of fascism without our help. And we strengthen the power we already have when we withhold our help.
