Probably my favorite CIA tweet of all-time

I want to do a joke where two bears are in the wood and one is putting on running shoes and the other says we will catch those guys and the one putting on the shoes says I’m going to eat both of them.

I'd like to know - is this part of an information campaign - and should I care.

Grateful for the Beachboy's music and the genius of Brian Wilson. RIP.

A major cheat code in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.

Sometimes a bit of dyslexia can make the day better. Soiled data is so much more humorous than siloed data.
