He is a clown who said, "If I have to create stories so the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." #JDVance admitted, BEFORE the election, he's no problem lying to the American people. Yet too many voted for him.

He said, before the election, he has no problem making stuff up. Remember the people eating pets?

I wrote a book. My first novel. The Fourth Ape — a philosophical fable set in Japan, in the spirit of The Alchemist. $2.99 on Kindle. Free Kindle app works on any device. amzn.to/4dYqtdy I hope you will like it. An honest review means everything. 🙏

Some people complain because it is raining outside. This guy lost his leg and is still putting in the work. No whining about rain or how someone is doing him wrong or how people are always out to get him. Just doing the work and being better. Truly inspiring. #NoExcuses #PutInTheWork #Motivation

My friend Christie shot this brilliant photo for her Friendchips calendar. Reminds me it is almost time to get back on the road, so I better start organizing my own gear. Check her amazing photography at formingfriendchips.com. #Friendchips #Spokane #RoadTrip #Photography

"Most people don't know that dumb ends in a B." - the president of the United States So does job, flub, mob, flab, cash grab, and con job. Most people already knew that, but I guess now it is official. #Satire #PoliticalHumor #TheMoreYouKnow #ConJob

Getting a bit of work in in the VIP Lounge until my plane is ready to board. There is something inherently satisfying about getting a full day of work in before I even step onto the tarmac. Work-from-anywhere for the win. #travelwork #airportlife #remotelife #workperks #digitalnomad

For a long time, keys symbolized responsibility to me. The more keys, the more we're trusted with. I have a ton of responsibility, yet I have only one key on my key chain. Maybe responsibility is not really about how many keys we carry. Maybe it is about how many things we refuse to run from.

Crazy how often I have heard Johnson say, "I don't know anything about that."

Not everyone should chase greatness. Some people want peace. Some want comfort. Some want predictability. And there is nothing wrong with that. Stop pretending you want extraordinary results if you are protecting an ordinary life. Image created with AI

One of the most powerful lessons I ever learned was: You do not control what happens. You control what happens next. Most people react. Reaction is instant, emotional, and often careless. Response creates space. It allows wisdom to enter the room. It replaces impulse with intention.

Two countries, two hemispheres, three states, five cities, four airplanes, and one super-fast train, all packed into just two days. Now that is worldwide. #TravelLife #FrequentFlyer #OnTheMove #TravelGram #Japan

I don’t always travel with personal security, but when I do, I bring a ninja. At #ToeiKyotoStudioPark (now #UzumasaKyotoVillage) film studio, #Kyoto, #Japan, they don’t just show you history, they drop you right into it.

Some of them voted for Trump THREE TIMES!

I always thought we have tons of oil in Texas and Alaska and Louisiana. Do we not? Why not just use our own oil? What about America First? Something does not add up. cc: @bluesnowflake.bsky.social

Indeed. And then people wonder, "Why do people just seem meaner these days?" Because our 'elders' and 'leaders' give them permission to be. Headed to Japan soon. I might not come back.

You heard what he said about Mueller, right? Extra classy.

I opened a door today and found a literal brick wall. A solid reminder not every new direction leads to a breakthrough, you’ll never know which doors are fake and which ones are portals until you try the handle. If you hit a wall, just find a different door. #perspective #curiosity #hiddenplaces

Step one: cut a hole in the box. Step two: find a wig that apparently requires refrigeration. I don't remember this being part of the Lonely Island instructions, but finding a "perishable" head in a box is a hell of a way to start your day. #thrifting #weirdfinds #estatesale #snl #Timberlake

I can’t imagine what my mail carrier thinks. Relax, no exotic pets were harmed in the making of this delivery. If you’re going to ship something, go all in. Some people get boring brown packages. I get suspense. #LiveAnimals #HandleWithCare #PackageDay #WhatDidIOrder #NeighborhoodMystery

I never played Pokemon Go. 'Echo' just informed me it is still a thing. Maybe I am going to have to give it a go. (See what I did there?)

“Genuine authentic Chinese-made imitation of a real Swiss Army type knife.” Found in a hardware store for $1.49. That label is doing cardio. Not pretending to be premium. Just honest about being an imitation. I almost respect it. #HardwareStoreFinds #QualityVsHype

The real graduation starter pack was never just the diploma. It’s the diploma in one hand, and the voter registration card in the other. One proves you did the work. The other proves you still plan to matter. Never leave power on the table. #Education #JesseJackson #CivicEngagement

At 211 degrees, water is just hot. At 212 degrees, it boils and creates steam. With steam you can move a locomotive. With steam, you can create power. 211 is fine. 212 is power. 1 extra degree changes everything.

Aisle seats are $104 now “for convenience.” Translation: you pay extra so everyone who bought the $80 seats can climb over you. Is this just another money grab that becomes normal? Pay $24 more, or save it and crawl over the rich folks? I’m torn. #concertlife #savemoney #seatdrama #ticketlogic

Walked past this #Seattle window and got hit with: “Everything is art. Everything is politics.” Just trying to get lunch, ended up in a philosophy class. Low-budget, high-impact, my favorite kind. #streetart #publicart #citylife #everydayart

Heard a crashing noise outside my office, looked out, and found two turkeys perched on my fence, puffed up and performing for a totally unimpressed female nearby. Soaring with eagles in their minds. Still turkeys in life. #BackyardWildlife #Turkeys #NatureAtHome #OfficeView #EverydayWonder #WFH

For the first time, the #AARP model is actually my peer. I joined well before 50, but seeing 57-year-old #BrendanFraser makes it feel official. Pro tip, you can join at 18. Life is expensive right now, so there is no reason to leave discounts on the table. #Affordability

A quiet reminder to unclutter our minds every once in a while. To take a deep breath, look around, appreciate the simple reality right in front of us. Sometimes, true happiness isn't in the things we are chasing, but in the company we are currently keeping. In the right here, right now. Be present.

But… but… Trump did a physical impersonation of a person with a disability and he became president, so…

The window at Neato Burrito in #Spokane is doing the heavy lifting today. I am happy to spend my cash where human rights outrank corporate branding. It is a simple formula: share my values, get my business. #SpokaneDoesntSuck #ShopLocal #ValueDriven
