Amazing photo of Bob Mehrabian as a freshman (later captain) on the MIT soccer team. He received his doctorate from MIT while playing for the Boston Tigers of the American Soccer League. Later on he became president of Carnegie Mellon and CEO/Chairman of Teledyne Technologies.

Hey. Here's a wild idea. How about you stick around AND TRY TO FIX THINGS?!?

Domestic air travel companies are on a constant race to the bottom. And this hambone is trying to shame people for feeling comfortable in an objectively uncomfortable experience?
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.

The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

I like to be organized.

But I hate when the organization itself becomes so unwieldy that I'm thinking about the organization rather than the stuff I need to have organized.

This is why you should only be a middle manager if you love the task of neverending organization.

This is a wild way to spend your time as a member of Congress
US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.

What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E
