We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying, and even to find joy from simple things like their family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more. Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)

Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, human happiness does not seem to have been included, in the design of creation. It is only we, with our capacity to love, that give meaning to the indifferent universe.

We are all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions. Moral choices. Some are on a grand scale. Most of these choices are on lesser points. But! We define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are in fact the sum total of our choices.

Dozens of mourners packed sardine-dense into the Crow’s Nest bar in Maplewood on a Friday night in February. The occasion? A funeral for kegs of Stag, the classic American lager with deep roots in St. Louis and the Metro East.

St. Louis beer fans pour one out amid rumors of discontinued Stag kegs
It’s unclear if kegs of St. Louis-favorite Stag will still be available in the coming months, or if the kegs will still be available in certain parts of the region in the future.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”
