Entrepreneur Will Ahmed on living a well-rounded life: "Success is being excited to go to work and being excited to come home." from James Clear's newsletter

Wow, when a fiber optic rollout excluded 55 residences at the edge of this town because of the cost, the townspeople dug the trenches and laid the cable themselves. It made it possible for people to work from home instead of move away. reasonstobecheerful.world/etteln-smart...

When you have the opportunity to nourish a connection, make it a priority

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world. I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex

In Detroit they're teaching kids how to propagate Sequoias

That’s incredible

I can’t help but love this radiant human being. I hope that ultimately he benefits from all that happened

LOVE this thread. Sam walks us through how his group determined that treehoppers can tell friend from foe by sensing their static charge with these weird antenna structures. Very cool.

I could just stare at these pictures all day.

From James Clear's newsletter:

Really cool thing I did not know exists: a Black American dialect of sign language.

Birds are the best of all beings

I love animals! 😊 #bluesky #dog #dogday

That’s so metal

NASA saves Voyager 1 mission by successfully reviving frozen thrusters from almost 24 billion kilometers away

As long as this planet continues to be run as a for-profit business rather than a self-regulating, all-inclusive socialist commune of 10 million species, everything on Earth will end up in a bonfire. open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

My mortgage company just emailed to say my home is in a FEMA declared disaster area. I know people 15 miles west on my road whose bridges are washed away and their neighbors are missing family members. It feels strange to have escaped unscathed after ~3 days watching the water rise and wondering.

The Marbling series is the first to feature our "Wave" cut style which adds vortices to the "Maze" cut simulation inducing spirals to form along edges. We made it to complement the fluidic theme of the images, plus it's just a really fun cut n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/shop/product...

So filled with gratitude, i can barely breathe.

I live in Round Rock, TX. My whole street had Harris Walz signs. We want to know if the Republicans are going to prevent hurricanes this year, since last year they said the government controls them to punish red states. Now they are the government.

From James Clear, always reminding us that you can't succeed if you don't start.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

The International Energy Agency estimates that 70 percent of the fossil fuel sector’s methane emissions could be cut with existing technologies—many of which would save polluters money. www.wired.com/story/cheap-...

Ok that looked lame at first, but if you look at the scale and description it would actually be pretty freaking cool. I saw something a little like this in a museum in Ottawa.

Ha, the call to action is for the customer to write a letter to their address. Such a different world than “click here”

Trusting takes courage. Hope takes engagement. Love obligates one to be responsible in the world. Cynicism and nihilism are lazy and cowardly.

Or make a game..."The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher. If you really want to learn a topic, then “teach” it. Write a book. Teach a class. Build a product. Start a company. The act of making something will force you to learn more deeply than reading ever will." -James Clear

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

Trump is only asking for Iran’s unconditional surrender because he always wanted to demand a country’s “unconditional surrender.” Macho baby chest beating for the other macho babies.

Imagine it. We had the power to prevent this but people cared about money more.

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

So many living with fear and suffering in the world right now. Be with them in your heart.

Anoles in my yard tolerate an amazing range of temperatures. “thermal tolerance breadths—the range between CTmin and CTmax—remained stable across elevation, indicating a fine-tuned balance rather than a broadening of tolerances,”

Seriously. How can anyone like or relate to these people? They could do more for their popularity with a single event or piece of clothing that’s normal.

It's amazing that they can learn these things through remote observation.

These beautiful people are responsible for the majority of my favorite restaurants. Jack Allen in particular I have adored since they first opened. And I can't believe how inexpensive it is for the quality. It's a privilege to live near them.

My friend in Iran says Israel has done well by only damaging the regime, but fears next they will face an Afghan raid or civil war. My friends in Israel say Israel's purpose is to promote unity, and the consequence of failure will be the world turning against them. What a tangled web.
