You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

We've been doing Know, Like, Trust in the wrong order. Driving back from a big area networking breakfast, listening to a podcast, the guest kept saying, "know, like, and trust." Over and over. But if I don't like someone, I won't get to know them. So shouldn't it be Like, Know, Trust. ❤️ 🧠 🍔

Marcomm Companies: With our AI-generated ads, we can target any geographic location with custom content that is virtually indistinguishable from real content. The locals won't know the difference. Maryland: a'ight, bet.

@RVLara23 I’m not “experienced” as the last time I elevated with flower was in the late 1900’s and I spent many a year in gov or gov services. But my doc recently recommended it over beer for the calories and carbs. Legal here, so I’ve recently started gummies. Store-bought, so the dosage is […]

I guess because like five of us are saying something, what was done to @krebs is an absolute injustice and a mockery of his selfless service. America no longer supports or protects critical infrastructure defenders. I hope someone else appreciates him a lot more. I know he can’t reply.
