I can't watch an episode of Season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale without thinking that JD Vance would see himself as one of the 'heroic' Commanders.

This is a useful book. Not because guns are the answer. And not because one racial group has to do the work. But because it's about a real time & place when people stood UP against oppression, against seemingly huge odds.

Be a Kermit the Frog. Have a creative vision and no ego.
Recognize the unique talents of those around you. Attract weirdos.
Manage chaos. Show kindness. Be sincere.

I gotta say, I had no idea of the *depth* of Trump's illegal behaviour (and that of his cronies) until reading @sethabramson.bsky.social 's "Proof of Corruption." Literally jaw-dropping. (Admittedly, as a Canadian, I haven't kept as *close* an eye on Trump's doings as I might have.)

The Economist: “Not since Richard Nixon has a president looked to behaving like a ‘madman’ as a source of advantage.” One wonders whether the scare quotes around ‘madman’ were truly necessary.

As a professor of business ethics, this is one of my favorite little acquisitions: a genuine copy of Enron‘s code of ethics, purchased online back in 2002. Crisp, almost as if no one ever read it!

Just a reminder that #Homeopathy is fraud
Homeopathy is the healthcare equivalent of a Ponzi scheme. Any retailer that sells it should be ashamed.
