@ericweinstein Another source with a source!
We need a national research grant to study insufferable idiots, because somehow they keep evolving and gaining Wi-Fi access.

4/ The stuff people say publicly.

And the stuff usually said in the van, at the supply house, or after the third bad call.

Not to attack the industry.

Not to protect it either.

To understand it.

And maybe help heal what has been talked around for too long.

I’ve always been fascinated by gonzo journalism.

Not chaos. Not rage bait. Not exaggeration dressed up as truth.

The part that pulled me in was curiosity.

So I’m bringing that curiosity into the skilled trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, recruiting, hiring, burnout, trust.

3/ So I’m starting something new.

I’m bringing that curiosity into the skilled trades.

HVAC. Plumbing. Electrical. Recruiting. Hiring. Retention. Job hopping. Burnout. Trust. Ownership.

Gale: Melpomene has begun.

Chapter 1: The Calm is live.

A funeral.
A father’s warning.
A childhood trauma buried as a nightmare.
One message:

Leave. Trust no one.

Gale does neither.

We live obsessed with control: Narratives. Morality. Identity.
Job lost everything — and didn’t collapse.
Maybe because he wasn’t clinging.
Maybe surrender to God and surrender to Reality aren’t different.

When suffering is shared, it moves. When it’s isolated, it hardens. Christians call that movement the Holy Spirit. However you name it, don’t let pain turn you inhuman.

My brain isn’t wired for small talk.
I'm restless with “cute dog” talks, when what I really crave is meaning, paradox, and the weird curiosities of reality.
It’s hard to find people who actually want to go there, but when you do, it feels like finding fireflies in daylight. 💡

If free will is an illusion, are we just echoes of a cosmic algorithm, dancing to code we’ll never read? Yet, every choice feels like rebellion. What’s your truth—fate or freedom? #PhilosophyUnraveled #ExistentialVibes"

@FBIDDBongino You can't denounce weaponization while selectively wielding power. . .🤔

We live in a world of noise. Opinions, advice, outrage—it’s endless. And often, we add to it without realizing we’re drowning out our own inner clarity.

I take pills to focus on what I was never meant to focus on. Our imagination led us to a transhumanism. That is self hatred spread to hate others because deep down we all the same.

How can you have a family when you can't have a soul? You're just not allowed 🚫.

The first time I had a sick kid home from school in a work from home situation, nobody in the company cared about the kid. They wanted to know why my situation couldn't be worked out where the kids were someone else's responsibility. That was how I was made to feel.
