A picture of a cat. It says, “4 years ago lived in a bush and hunted my own meals.
Now I have 2 passive incomes, my own house, & a personal chef.
Follow me for more financial advice.”

Occurs to me that the last two years can be read as a period of jock ascendence in the eternal jock-nerd struggle for dominance. And it’s offering a pretty good reminder of the value nerds offer.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I can’t stand the SOTU, but wonder if Thump will be able continue to stand for what is likely to a record. Or if the microphone he’s screaming into will continue to stand also. It’s an endurance test, that’s what it is.

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
