First they polluted our democracy and sense of connection, now our water.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

I want to feel this level of excitement about ANYTHING.

This promotional PSYCHO pre-release marketing photo (designed to satisfy demand and mislead from the film’s actual plot) always makes me smile.

Who ever becomes governor of California needs to increase funding to state parks. I’ve been at Will Rogers state historical park the last few months helping out the horse concession there & watching the cobbled together way any task gets done is depressing & extremely frustrating.

This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion

I'm just an old-school wacko geezsack but it seems a lot of folks are cheating rather than allowing miracles to flow from our inestimable BRAINS where everything is energy connected to and interacting with every human soul that's ever been.

I love Anne-Laure Le Cunff. Had her on my show. 💪🏼💜 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Relieved my heart has finally settled down after 4 days of post-ablation chaos. As a control freak, this has been challenging!

So hard to pick one’s all time favorite, but this film could be it. It feeds my soul so deeply.

Fascinating!

Ain't nothing like a Sunday night after the 4th to make you hate your neighbors.

Currently watching one of the best screwball comedies ever made, "Bringing Up Baby". I love this film. It never gets old

I’m a little behind… Osaka. Yes. 💪🏼

It's a brick, I’m a dog, it's a brick, I’m a dog 🎵

Absolute banger of an obituary in the Seattle Times today, rest in peace Judy

A hero’s welcome for the Cabo Verde team arriving home ❤️

Going on 3+ hours of fake war zone noise now. Not helping my mood as I’m already dealing with post-ablation palpitations. At least I have cake.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

Here in LA it sounds like war.

Weeks ago, I spoke directly with Major Jason Watson regarding his planned act of civil disobedience. What I do not hear enough people discussing is the broader constitutional strategy behind his message. 🧵

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Holy shit that was exciting. Wish you’d done it, but damn, you made it fun.

Cape Verde. So cool. This is exciting!

If my smart phone is so smart then why doesn’t it just accept that the calls it deems spam are actually spam and throw them in the fucking trash for me.

If you’re intrigued by myth, depth psychology, the power of storytelling, this is a must read. Phil is insightful, clearly a wise, poetic seeker and longtime traveler of this realm. I’m excited to reboot my podcast with his appearance in a few weeks so we can burrow into all the riches!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Taylor Swift’s wedding, World Cup and “where’s LeBron?” Spectacles make this more accurate than ever… “Football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult." George Orwell, 1984

The future of our planet depends on people willing to stand up for science and the truth. I’m so grateful to the scientists who walked to D.C. to deliver letters demanding action on climate change.

Between Wimbledon’s 2nd week and the Tour de France starting Sunday, I’m not sure if much else will get done next week.

Dolly Parton’s message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their $2 million donation to her Imagination Library! “I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now, it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.”

These people never cease to completely confound me.

Gonna hold onto the wider context of our 250th year anniversary this weekend - we are all still here with a chance to be kinder, more thoughtful and fair, and bend toward our higher selves personally and collectively still.
