A reverse Hallmark movie wherein the girl gives up the spirit of Christmas for the big city, a 401K and stock options that puts her in the top 1%.

Food for thought that I wanted to share.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I highly recommend the movie.

I think this happens a lot in work and life -- it's so easy to not see solutions while you're in the middle of a problem. Not because you're not smart or incapable, it's simply human nature to sometimes not see things, particularly if something is happening to you in that moment.

I found this experience so interesting in that to me the solution was obvious but to them it didn't occur to them.

At that point the movie was starting, the theatre was now dark, and they were split up into their different seats. Sporadically throughout the movie they would take turns bringing the popcorn to each other.

The father had the popcorn bag (one for the entire family), and the mother realized she and the daughter wouldn't have the popcorn with them.

I realized what they could do was get an empty popcorn bag from concessions and then split the popcorn between the two of them with their second bag.

An intriguing (and translatable) experience I recently had involving the new Wicked: For Good movie 🍿👇

We were almost through the trailers. A family came in last-minute but couldn't find four seats together -- there were only two pairs of seats apart from each other, meaning they'd be split up.

Just watched The Sounds of Music.

Can you believe,

1) She starred in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music in back-to-back consecutive years ('64, '65).
2) Just read about the loss of her voice. Oy, what heartbreak.

Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it.

People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to.

Even when court-ordered.

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people.

Thank goodness.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This weekend I read 200 pages of the first book of the Wicked series, plus noted down new vocab words.

It's amazing how much reading you can get done in even a few undistracted hours.

Baseball, like everything else in the US, would be way more boring without any foreign-born people.

This time last week I was sitting front row, dead center box seat at the MET Opera House.

I'm not a spontaneous person and this was an impromptu trip for me.

Lesson: It is very important that you do things during your time here on Earth. Be responsible but yes, go do the thing.

One danger of 47 is that it's very , very important for service members to be able to confidently take orders from their Commander-in-chief.

47 makes this impossible to do so.
Boat strikes put US service members in legal jeopardy:

"Some junior officers have asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general or JAGs, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes .... It does not appear that such memos were furnished, said one of the people."
Top Democrats demand details of spy agencies’ role in boat strikes
Democrats are demanding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard share intelligence on lethal operations against alleged narcotics traffickers.

"...once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country."
The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
