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?
A note from my 6yo when I was “pretty grumpy.” Spelling corrected, it reads: “Dear dad, it is awfully quiet down in the basement. Can you put on some music? It does not have to be super loud. P.S. please respond.”

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.

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
The vibes are in shambles. Bleak!
How you treat immigrants is how you treat Jesus Christ.

This is a bent “Clamp Screw” from my 1940s Craftsman 113 table saw. It holds the saw in place at the desired degree of tilt. Any ideas on how to straighten the bent threaded section out? Is that possible? Or should I look for a replacement bolt?
Turns out, it’s hard to focus when your country is falling apart!
“Don’t rob the poor just because you can, or exploit the needy in court. For the LORD is their defender. He will ruin anyone who ruins them.” Proverbs 22:22-23, New Living Translation
“You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will blaze against you, and I will kill you with the sword. Then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless." Exodus 22:22–24, NLT
“👊🇺🇸🔥”, but it’s God judging the USA—for its many grievous sins against the poor and powerless—by giving us wicked, cowardly, careless rulers.
It’s almost like we put the worst people in charge and now we’re all in danger.
