Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

"I think the social contract of social media has changed. The deal was if you put stuff out there, if you put out content, you could get this massive audience. But that becomes a vicious cycle that becomes your entire life."

"Every time I complained that he was packing too much, he would give me a look that I can only describe it as "Single Parent."

Then he'd take a deep breath and go on back to his business."

Vive la look! Vive la France!☺️👀

A Photo Shoot in Paris
Recently Skylar learned he could take half a breath and fourteen seconds off of work for a vacation so we thought, what the hell. Let's fly our child and everything we own to Paris. We've had friends...

Cyndi Lauper walking on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl before singing ’Time After Time’ with John Legend and asking everyone to turn on their phone lights so that we can see that even in the darkness, we are surrounded by good people is exactly the thing I needed to hear today.

In every work call I've attended today, someone mentioned how the tense atmosphere in the country is affecting them.

Now is the time to extend grace, be more patient, and tread lightly. Be generous with compliments.

And breathe.

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
He Grew Obsessed With an AI Chatbot. Then He Vanished in the Ozarks
Jon Ganz committed a terrible crime in his youth, but he survived prison, fell in love, and started over. His new life unraveled in a way nobody could have predicted.

I’m really bullish on @govwesmoore.bsky.social as a star player on @democrats.org national leadership bench. Definitely future POTUS or VPOTUS material.

I love his level headed approach to politics and how we walks the talk for our Veterans. 🇺🇸

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order vowing to use all measures, including U.S. military action, to defend the energy-rich nation of Qatar — though it remains unclear just what weight the pledge will carry.

I am constantly amazed at how many Christians seem to think the church exists to validate their pet bigotries.

I was a road warrior for years. OKC was by far the most boring city I have ever been to and you couldn’t pay me to go back to Oklahoma.

Lovely people, very friendly.
