Knowledge is power…

I'm not hearing enough about how it's Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Let's step it up, everyone.

I appreciate the love, but if only the Starbucks baristas knew how much I hate the sound of slurping.

Lady Gaga sings. Game over. She wins.

Sometimes I feel like losing hope in America. Then I see a commercial from Progressive.

A clickbait site is speculating that Kíke Hernandez is re-signing with the Dodgers, but I believe nothing until I hear it from @jeffpasan.bsky.social

She speaks truth.

While re-reading a book I self-published years ago I discovered the complicated relationship between the written and spoken word. open.substack.com/pub/stevenga...

Vance thinks a journalist exposing someone's post is worse than the post. I can't speak for every reporter, but if I ever exposed someone, I didn't feel any sense of reward in it. I don't think we should reward vice presidents who overlook assholery, but I'm clearly in the minority.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

I saw this piece and loved it. After doing some work to see who the real author was, I decided to design a print for my office wall. Other than the header being possibly mistaken for an Amway logo, I’m happy with how this came out.

Normalize being nice.

I have plans. open.substack.com/pub/stevenga...

How can I get myself in trouble with Meta? That $25 million could get me out of a few jams.

The next administration will pardon them

This needs to happen more.

Just ordered this from Random House. It’s my penance for years ago working for a company that gave away “The Art of the Deal” at seminars.

Since both MegaMillions and Powerball are only at $20 million, that $50,000 around-the-world cruise I had my eye on may be out of my budget.

Today is Temperance and Good Citizenship Day, so we had one of our recent interns deliver a message to future voters. Thank you, Jasmine! youtu.be/s70J6KGJLAc?...

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

This sentence, found in the book “Black Pill” by @ellereeve.bsky.social, is brilliant storytelling.

My heart is with you my California friends and family.
