One of the greatest challenges of life is to continually reshape our mental models so that they grow ever closer to reflecting reality as it is rather than the world we want it to be.

I feel certain the actual world is far more fascinating and thrilling than any we can create.

Joni Ernst has been in state or federal government since 2005 (17 years), yet she condescendingly refers to others in government as “bureaucrats.”

This has the distinct flavor of a Jungian shadow.🤦🏻‍♂️

Once again, she calls it as it is.

For those of us desperately needing to see a true win in these challenging times, here’s one for your consideration (and celebration).

Congratulations!

(Thanks to Unranked Rando for highlighting this! Well done, sir.)

Hanging out at SFO. Overcast skies. Steely Dan raining down from the speakers at the restaurant.

I’d call this a perfect day.😎

Hey Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 why not strive to be better than the people you lost to. I mean, I agree a two party system is blah... but what you're talking about doing... this aint it man. People should strive for the betterment of the country. You sound eerily selfishly motivated.

Why would Twitter algorithms identify me as even remotely interested in a tweet from “the Propane Council”?

Propane and natural gas are sold by Big Oil as “transition” fuels in the move toward renewable energy when they serve only to sustain the addiction to fossil fuels.

Stop.

“…the owners and management of One America News is very smart…”

If the gentleman is going to label something as “smart” he should probably pay attention to subject-verb agreement.🤦🏻‍♂️

An amazing athlete. An amazing man. An amazing life.

Generation after generation, Americans went to war backed by the promise that their country would care for them when they came home—only to face another battle to get the care they were promised.

The Republicans who changed their votes on the PACT Act just prolonged this battle.

Good advice from Carolyn Hax (Carolyn Hax): Shoulds” mean expectations, templates, control. The letdowns and finger-pointing. You get your needs met or you don’t. You stay or you don’t. No “should.” washingtonpost.com/advice/2022/07…

This is not accurate and it’s hurting our veterans. I hope you’ll join me in supporting our bipartisan bill again next week. This is too important to let typical DC politics get in the way.

Here But I'm Gone (Curtis Mayfield) Shelby Kent-Stewart ™ Socialism is well suited to governing social advancement, such as managing the commons and providing the social safety net.

Capitalism & Unionism are most suitable for governing business.

It's a mistake to treat corporations as people.

Happy Saturday, folks. Woke up today ready to fight for veterans and their families. Talking to my colleagues and won’t stop until we get the PACT Act signed into law.
