The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Riding through the Portland war zone today, the most dangerous thing I spotted was a handful of aggressive, suspicious-looking geese. I made a hasty retreat when they advanced on my position near the Hawthorne Bridge. Stay safe! #Portland

Why do I have so many bikes? What was my favorite TV show as a kid? What was my first concert? I’m not great about sharing personal details, but all those answers—and more—were pulled out of me during this fun “unscripted” interview with W2 Content. youtu.be/eyUTJFiqXCs?...

It is impossible to overstate the inanity of the vapid and stupid stunt of renaming the Defense Department, and Congress should step in and put a stop to it immediately. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Every hotel bathroom should have: - A nighlight - Solid wood doors that fully close and lock. - A fan - Adequate lighting over the sink - Optional, but preferred: a walk-in shower Why is this so challenging to do? Thank you for your attention to this matter ...

🚨 NEW blog post: New logo? How about NO! Inspired by recent events ... whenever someone asks about creating a new name or logo, my advice is almost always NOT to do it. www.alanshoebridge.com/post/should-...

NEW blog post! **Communications and marketing in the 'post-shame, post-truth' era** What does it all mean? How did we get here? What comes next? 👇 My latest blog post breaks it down. www.alanshoebridge.com/post/communi...

Exactly

Lawlessness begets lawlessness. There is a limit to how much of it the American constitutional order can endure, and at the moment, Supreme Court seems eager to find out what it is. https://trib.al/2KEZzhO

🎙️👇𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐏𝐎𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓 **Healthcare is hard. Healthcare disruption is harder.** ☝That's how I would summarize my conversation with @chrisboyer.bsky.social Boyer.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

Good question where all this will lead www.ft.com/content/a801...
