If you voted for Trump, this is on you. If you voted third party, this is on you. If you chose not to vote at all, this is on you. Your reasons are irrelevant.

I think this happens a lot in work and life -- it's so easy to not see solutions while you're in the middle of a problem. Not because you're not smart or incapable, it's simply human nature to sometimes not see things, particularly if something is happening to you in that moment.

I found this experience so interesting in that to me the solution was obvious but to them it didn't occur to them.

At that point the movie was starting, the theatre was now dark, and they were split up into their different seats. Sporadically throughout the movie they would take turns bringing the popcorn to each other.

The father had the popcorn bag (one for the entire family), and the mother realized she and the daughter wouldn't have the popcorn with them. I realized what they could do was get an empty popcorn bag from concessions and then split the popcorn between the two of them with their second bag.

An intriguing (and translatable) experience I recently had involving the new Wicked: For Good movie 🍿👇 We were almost through the trailers. A family came in last-minute but couldn't find four seats together -- there were only two pairs of seats apart from each other, meaning they'd be split up.

Just watched The Sounds of Music. Can you believe, 1) She starred in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music in back-to-back consecutive years ('64, '65). 2) Just read about the loss of her voice. Oy, what heartbreak.

Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it. People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to. Even when court-ordered.

One danger of 47 is that it's very , very important for service members to be able to confidently take orders from their Commander-in-chief. 47 makes this impossible to do so.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social made an astute observation that all these decorating-type tasks seem to be ways to keep him happy and distracted and out of the way so the real puppeteers can do their thing behind the scenes. Like giving a toddler a coloring book so the parent can get work done.

You rarely know about the group chats and meetings you’re never invited to. The same is for national security which is highly dependent on global alliances. All bills become due eventually. We will have to pay dearly for this administration.
