I saw an old friend and I asked how her family was in Iran.

She told me that communication was reestablished and she had been in touch with them each day since.

Then she said she was shocked by recent events in the United States.

"I thought things like that only happened in Iran but I guess not."

Ron Gordon, what a legend.

So many quotable lines.

Senator, when is an institution no longer reformable?

We've gone down the wrong track since September 11, 2001.

And under this administration we're accelerating.

Masked thugs in uniform approached him, beat him, disarmed him, and murdered him in the street in broad daylight.

What should any reasonable person think after this?

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration.

In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”

It's increasingly unrecognizable and I fear the worst is yet to come.

Today, I saw multiple videos of masked government agents shooting an unarmed and subdued man who was trying to protect his community.

And then the government lied about who he was, what he was doing, and how he was murdered.

This isn't the country I grew up in.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Every time you consume a piece of (business, health, or political) content, you should ask yourself, "why does someone want me to believe that this is true?" Cui bono?

I sent one of my books to Viet Nam today.

The cost of USPS-First Class International has gone up by ~56% since 2019. ($23.38 vs. $36.41)

And now the recipient is on the hook for duties and taxes when it wasn't the case before.

Truly getting less for more.

Some thoughts about the murder by ICE in Minnesota.
This is the time for all of us to demand much better and to show what’s right.

I just tried to schedule a doctor's appointment (referral with a specialist) as a new patient and the next available appointment is on Monday, May 11, 2026.

😳

The norm post-pandemic has been anywhere from a few weeks to two or three months but this is pushing half a year now...

I just read this on a consent form:

"Artificial Intelligence Use:

I understand that [hospital system in the largest city in the United States] may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist my care team in making their professional assessments and decisions about my care."

Risk premium?
