Should I ever move, I hope to find a town with a great bookstore within a few miles walking distance of a beach. 🏖️

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

This is 100% a values difference. For those of you struggling with relatives who voted for him. It is an ‘issue’.

Part of me really just wants to declare, ‘What would Melania do?’ And go treat myself to a facial while husband figures his shit out and leaves me alone. #wwmd #whatwouldmelaniado

Take care of yourselves. This news cycle is definitely wearing me down. www.apa.org/monitor/2022...

“To control a nation’s soundtrack is to be always inside its citizens’ heads.” From the book Superbloom

Appearing today in The Week:

#MAGA should stand for making quality products in America again. Our furnace and stove lasted 58 years. On the downside, on the downside, all the major appliances in the house seem to be dying on the same lifecycle, so it’s chalking up to be an expensive year.

So many great ideas from Michelle Obama’s book. ‘Competence is what stands on the other side of fear.’

Who can relate to this? Work-related personality testing flagged me as a reformer. And indeed, my efforts to up our company’s game weren’t universally appreciated unless one of the lifers turned around and used it too. So I understand, in part, the willingness to move fast and break things.

Does anyone have book recommendations for the theme of finding personal peace in the midst of social/political upheaval? #bookrecommendation

Name something you got your spouse for Christmas (or other occasion) but it was really for you.

This was hysterical. Well worth the $5.32. www.patreon.com/posts/chris-...

In the same way that women used to band together in a village to survive and get things done, I am genuinely worried whether we will forever be bound to group fitness classes. Why are there so few women lifters when the results are what you want?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget Pls do the same.

In searching social for kitchen ideas, I am struck by the volume of sameness that the algorithm delivers. There should be a setting for avoiding the assumption that you want to see more of the same, for any topic area.

So Luigi Mangione thought it would be a good idea to go to a surfing/co-living community in Hawaii to help fix a debilitating back problem. What kind of organization looks at a problem like that and says ‘Sure! Surfing should help fix it!” 🤯 Surfbreak failed him before United. #luigimangione

If this book doesn’t sound like a metaphor for understanding the world, and the great and legitimate variety of other peoples’ perspectives, as well as the clear warnings of disembodying our personal knowledge into our phones as a handicap. nextbigidea.app.link/jHuyCzy0jPb
