I feel so bad for that CEO’s wife.

Imagine finding out your husband is a Coldplay fan.

In the park,

the tall trees are waving

in the morning breeze.

I wave back

only to realize they are waving

at the person behind me.

From my journal, 6 years ago today-

I try to find 60 minutes a day to read books, but even a few minutes can be very gratifying. It’s nice to have a book to read over just scrolling on the phone.

S is for Scott, buried alive.

Minutes of air? He’s got about five.

It’s interesting when people say higher ed is liberal indoctrination. When I went to college, I wasn’t taught details or ideologies, I was taught how to properly research things and practice critical thinking skills. We lean left because we tend to be better informed.

July 15th is St. Swithin’s Day. It takes place every year on this date, and according to traditional folklore, whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin’s Day-whether rain or sunshine-it will continue for the next 40 days and 40 nights.

Last week, Grok called for the extermination of the Jewish people and called himself MechaHitler.

This week, the Department of Defense announced it was using Grok as an Al partner.

In response, not a single Democratic member of Congress or progressive organization has left X.
