The politics of embarrassment as #trump v #kemp deal with heady international trade, immigration and business development. From @ajc.com www.ajc.com/politics/202...

While #american #government argues over blame for the government shutdown, #china is rapidly building infrastructure and expanding it’s intentional influence. This is one reason why #america is losing.

A government shutdown is not good governance. #republican arrogance and lack of interest in negotiating on behalf of delivering sevices to all Americans is a clear issue. While #republicans and #democrats are busy assigning blame to the other party, citizens are losing. #sad

There used to be a joke in the 1990s that football was a simple game. Two teams played for 90 minutes and in the end, the Germans won That's road cycling in the 2020s. A hundred blokes pedal for five hours and in the end, Tadej Pogacar wins

Just wow. Congratulations Tadej. Congratulations Slovenia! #UCI #Cycling #WorldChampion #Kigali #Rwanda

“I suppose it’s the hate that hate creates.” —Shirley Chisholm We CAN be better.

Congratulations Magdeleine Vallieres. Congratulations Canada! #UCI #WorldChampionship #Cycling #Kigali #Rwanda

Leaders of good character are in short supply in America. Judicial and budgetary crises of the moment are so wrong. And the consequences of poor leadership are no less than the decimation of our cherished institutions.

And might you be the next target, ‪@schiff.senate.gov ?

If one is going to indict political enemies, the crimes should be, objectively speaking, at least as severe as those for which pardons have been issued. #wisdom #politics

Cancelling approved government transportation programs? For #cycling? Because they are "hostile to cars?" Wow, I can't make this stuff up. politicalwire.com/2025/09/22/t...

When you get defensive about feedback, you fail twice. You fail to learn today, and you fail to encourage people to keep teaching you tomorrow. If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth. A key to growth is showing that you're coachable.

It's important to take time to reflect, to learn to eulogize from our past deeds. Why? It inspires us toward optimism about the future. And now it's time to #act. To act with #optimism. To use our humanity and energy to create a world with health, justice, peace, and opportunity for all.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." --Martin Luther King

We don't have Martin Luther King any more. He was the victim of an assassin's bullet. Horrible. His legacy lives on through his words. You can read them here: www.nps.gov/mlkm/learn/q...

We don't have Charlie Kirk any more. He was the victim of an assassin's bullet. Horrible. His legacy lives on through his words. @theguardian.com shares them here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What would Jesus say? Maybe, "leave me completely out of this discussion."

Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered for using his words to spread hate and bigotry and divide this country. In death he should not be sanctified for a life used to inspire people's worst demons to target the marginalized.

Opinion <> Truth If a politician claims something is true, they need to show receipts. Being loud, or elected or optimistic or surrounded by your friends doesn’t transform opinions or stupidity into truth. #charlieKirkMemorial

SEO is at a fact-free crossroads. Until there are facts, these opinions are worth a read. searchengineland.com/ai-search-op...

Can we agree that the current agenda of the justice department is detached from our ideals? And SCOTUS isn’t invested in curtailing the sinister goals. Can the misuse of power by Trump and Bondi be curbed or stopped before the next election?

Ideas can be good and bad. Articulating any and all ideas is good. "Sunlight is the best deodorant." Repeating and amplifying bad ideas algorithmically and for profit is just wrong. Especially if it's done fore knowledge that it will hurt others.

It's Sunday and I've seen the #future. Actually I've seen today's reality. Technology isn't "smart," it's sponsored. I don't hate on this, but I need to understand it, accept it, and adapt my mindset. "Question Technology" is the new reality. #AlgorithmicLife

Why do you fire people who are excellent at what they do and successfully sell news subscriptions? Is it because you, as an audience of one, disagree without showing they did anything wrong?

Hey @buffer.com Nice recommendations. Are you sharing the #data that led to these conclusions?

I accept that a 15 second #TikTok may be more persuasive than #data, than #research, than #science. Will future academics need to master TikTok to earn tenure?

Can we move forward now? Yes political violence is evil. Yes, we are sad for his widow and children. I want to return to celebrating the real American ideals. Freedom. Justice. Equality. Minority rights. Honesty. Hard work. Optimism. All enshrined in the rule of law.

"Flood the zone" confounds and confuses. And it works. Because media needs to cover every issue they raise plus every issue that matters. As an electorate and nation, we need to see the forest. See beyond the trees. See beyond the bark that floods the zone. Heath. Law. Justice. Freedom.

There will be a mass exodus from Florida in the next few years as kids and seniors begin to drop dead from measles, covid and other contagious diseases. I hope their loyalty to the GOP was worth it for them.

Round 6 to Harvard. They are probably winning on points so far. But this fight will go a full 15 rounds. And those who have the final say (the supreme court), are bought and paid for by Harvard's opponent. Harvard vs Trump? perhaps. Freedom vs. Authoritarianism? perhaps as well.
