📺 The Residence is getting me through the days this week. 🦅🕵🏾♀️
Has anyone replaced a rectangular gable vent like this old one in my pictures before? Most of the ones I see for sale are 18x24, but I’m not sure whether that fits in between two studs like this opening. Hopefully that’s a common enough size for an opening to be?
They’re coming for libraries and I might take up arms
Oh, so he’s liberating us from…(checks notes)…our money. 💰 🗑️🔥🇺🇸
On the other hand, I think that he needs to run this country into the ground before MAGA begins to see the light. So, yay, I guess? 🫠
It’s embarrassing, just how astoundingly stupid our President is.

I’m right on the fence about whether I should renew my subscription to The Economist or not. Is it worth $110 for another year?
Mohler, Grudem, Metaxas, et al. have utterly debased themselves for Trumpism. At best, they are foolish idolaters. Why would you trust anything they say about anything of importance?
In spite of myself, I’m tearing-up watching Cory Booker break Strom Thurmond’s filibuster record.
Can’t. Focus.
I’ve always loved the look and utility of Adidas Sambas. However, they’ve always been too narrow for my wide feet! Are there any similar soccer (or at least soccer-inspired) shoes out there for us wide-footed people?

It’s not nearly as bad as the sane-washing of Trump found in the NYT and elsewhere these days, but I can’t help but feel like The Economist is failing to meet the moment with their reporting on the USA’s lurch towards fascism and oligarchy.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust anyone who went all-in for Trump at any point in the past decade. Erstwhile reluctant or lukewarm supporter? Maybe. A Fanatiker? No. I don’t trust your judgment, your morals, anything you have to say about God, etc.

Cookéd, I tell you. Cookéd.
In the context of putting together a brief presentation or talk, what’s the most helpful framework or book you’ve come across? I think Building a StoryBrand (Miller) and Made to Stick (Heath Bros.) would make my shortlist. And yes, I’m preparing a presentation for work
