James Zahn, @therockfather.bsky.social, is editor of the trade publication The Toy Book. He predicts we’ll start to see much higher prices and empty shelves in the toy aisle by Halloween. A word to the wise: Shop soon for the kiddos in your life. www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...

Toymakers are in limbo with uncertain trade policy
As many as 80% of the toys we buy in the U.S. are manufactured in China. The trade war will likely speed up the shift to those other countries.

Important reading! “It is in America’s interest to reverse course immediately and rebuild the crucial infrastructure needed to detect and respond to outbreaks. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it also makes economic sense.”

We generally don’t give luck—good luck or bad luck—enough credit. Let’s help them get back on their feet. #LAfires
LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

This is great advice. When Dan Pink researched his book The Power of Regret, he learned that one of the biggest regrets is not going for it. Asking someone out, starting a business, getting the degree. People who tried and failed were way happier than those who didn’t try.

You get a lot more exercise if you use your face. 🤣 #exercise #hiking
TIP: As you walk down a trail, use a stick to make first contact with spiderwebs. You can also use your face. Do what feels right.

1/ A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his #consciousness. ~ Albert Einstein www.themarginalian.org/2016/11/28/e...

Einstein on Widening Our Circles of Compassion
“Our task must be to free ourselves … by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“I’ll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.” ~ Alan Watts My life in #Boulder is close to being a hermit. But with really good food and comfy shelter. 🤣 #stillness
