If you're ever going to do any public speaking, DO NOT READ OFF OF YOUR PHONE. It looks awful, & broadcasts a lack of confidence/poor mastery of whatever you're talking about. If you need notes, make yourself bullet points/topics, so you're looking up & at your audience as much as possible.

It's occurred to me that Trusk (Mump?) is doing to the US only since January what the US has been doing to the world since the 19th century.

I'm genuinely curious if this is how we go out. Pre 2021, I would have guessed asteroid or Global Thermonuclear War, but maybe we just allow shit to degrade to the point where America undoes itself, & when we finally admit that this is just a big smash & grab & the cops aren't coming, we just shrug.

For context, this was a playful jab in reaction to an acceleration/handling side-by-side comparison between a BMW (made aircraft engines during ww2) & a Tesla (making hovercraft engines for ww3)...but these people make it such a joy to be a petty bitch, I had to "kick through the shin", as it were.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

When I see people who have more than I will ever have lose more than I will ever have...& are still left with more than I will ever have, I still can have compassion...for the billions who will never have as much as I have now. Our crisis-driven charity and generosity could and should be routine.

Let them be mad. Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Let them ignore you. Let them be right. Let them doubt you. Let them hate you. Let them run your name in the ground. Let them make you out to be the villain. But never let them make you question your worth.
