People assume the sewers are unpleasant, but that’s because they never go down there. You really need to hang out down there to see how wonderful they are

The very fact that his disciple has neutered the House of Representative by sending them home when they have urgent constitutional requirements to act on shows how deep is the poison and how great the danger. Our most powerful weapons: $$s to Dem candidates & votes at the ballot box. #ProudBlue

We never imagined how far that dream would travel, into homes, into hearts, into the way generations imagined what we could still become. In a world that often feels as divided as ever, maybe that's exactly why we need it now: a reminder that unity was always the point.

Trump: reducing military drills with South Korea because he has a “good relationship” with Kim Jong Un. Also this month: North Korea tested banned ballistic missiles. Twice. Nothing about this adds up. 🧵 bbc.com/news/articles/cx2lll7zvn0o

Statement on the “historical accuracy” on the Odyssey casting, from Vox Populi: Homer didn’t do a table read. There was no casting call in 800 BC. You are debating the ethnic accuracy of a guy who may not have existed, in a story about a man cursed by a god for being annoying. IT’S NOT HISTORY.

Steve Jobs beat piracy by making legal faster than illegal, not by suing people. Same rule applies inside your org: if the compliant path has more friction than the workaround, people won't stop needing the outcome — they'll just build their own Napster. Where's yours hiding?
