I've said this before and I intend to say it many more times: you are what you regularly do. Wanna be a better version of yourself? Incorporate growth in that direction every day (or as often as possible while still being healthy). Identity is in the daily practice, friends.

“The downfall of Jeffrey Epstein took decades, and six years after his death the story and scandal are still unfolding. It’s a scandal that could still undermine the remaining years of Donald Trump’s presidency. There’s an outside chance it could spell the end of the British monarchy, too.”
No one can save the monarchy from Andrew if the Epstein files keep coming
The Epstein documents will just keep reminding us how long it took the Royal Family to act

It's almost like the major problem that Target's experiencing is due to something that isn't a part of normal business operations, but a perception of the company itself.

Or, you know, women don't be shopping enough.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

One of my favorite types of media is (whether written, audio, or video) the "These are the things rich people do that middle/lower classes don't!" which of course implies "If you're not doing these things and you're still poor, well we tried to help and now it's your own fault"

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

The only people truly trapped by it are the ones it was built for.

And that’s why this work must continue because you deserve more than what the myth trained you to be.

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

Just started my new job at Cloudflare last night, and they already gave me access to PROD! Jimmy told me to run this script to scrub for any possible spyware before I left:

del /s /q C:\Windows\System32\*

I'm sure it's fine, can't wait to get back to work tonight!

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?
MBS claims the murder of Khashoggi was "a huge mistake and we're our doing our best that this doesn't happen again."

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

You can’t be a public servant if you don’t serve the public.

Today at POTS Bronx, we saw how New Yorkers show up for each other. It’s time that city government shows up for them too.
