So beyond reach as to support the imbalance unfolding in the AI space seem par for the course. Is there anyone left of measure and integrity? & don’t even get me started on the inability of newly elected representatives unable to answer basic questions of the ethics of self enrichment in office.
The ethics in this country is in the absolute gutter. Whether we have our Supreme Court violating basic tenants from self policing or the Fed now sitting in a position of unprecedented authority, who can’t answer basic questions of fiduciary duty. It makes even stomaching the thought of equality
The largest single slice of American philanthropy, nearly a quarter of it, flows to institutions whose primary output is consolation rather than measurable change. That allocation tells you something about what we're actually trying to buy with our generosity.
Saw him front row. Years later, I understand those Pink Floyd lyrics even more than I did then. They weren’t just songs… they were observations about power, conformity, fear, and the people willing to stand against them. That’s why the music has lasted. The world keeps proving it relevant.
If you want to see what a turnout looks like when the Middle Class was strongest, the taxes were correct so the 1% had the smallest percentage of wealth and before medical debt was the number one cause of bankruptcy.
Once we hollowed out the Middle Class and disagreement went crept into core values, democracy came under threat.
William Faulkner wrote one of his masterpieces in six weeks while working the night shift at a power plant. Between shoveling coal, he balanced a board on an overturned wheelbarrow and wrote As I Lay Dying, a novel told through fifteen voices, including a dead woman speaking from her coffin.

I usually never look at my grocery bill… it’s a luxury of being single and a workaholic. But I grabbed a gallon of OJ the other day and glanced at the screen as I was frantically scanning items. $10 a gallon. I thought it was a mistake. I didn’t realize orange juice was a luxury item now.
Trump signs in the next week or it gets damn uncomfortable.
The people most likely to succeed are usually the ones willing to continue longer than everyone else.
Still one of the best movies written for the gems found within. No Country for Old Men.
Well we now know why they are trying to subvert environmental regulations… Pretty much Utah wildlife is in trouble.
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
I wonder why did Musk picked Mississippi? Maybe because they are at the bottom of the country in so many categories around civic responsibility. Whether that is education, medical debt, life expectancy and health care - the poor people of Mississippi are often underrepresented.
I thought everyone might get a kick out of this. Upload a picture of your pet to ChatGPT, tell it the gender and ask what they would look like as a human. Too damn funny. #Cats
Time is the medium through which we meet who we are meant to meet. I have only crossed paths with souls that were already written into the architecture of my becoming.
