That special moment when you give up 14 years of your life to the growth and happiness of your child and they return home from a friend's house, look you in the eye and say, "Hannah's dad is cooler than you because he has a truck. And he's funny."
In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid.
Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia.
Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵
True story: walking down a city street in Uruguay as a missionary, my companion pulls out Taco Bell sauce and drinks it straight from the packet. I looked on incredulously, he pulled out another, told me not to knock it till I tried it. It was the greatest thing I'd ever tasted.
20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.
Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.
The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

@kenswift@mikeed172531 I watched it on replay a dozen times and each time I couldn't believe the defense covered everyone *but* CC. Then I remembered almost every other similar play call and the Mystics were just playing tendencies. They rarely draw up a play for CC. She's always the decoy.

1) Jordan getting beat up by the Bad Boys
2) Incessant and obvious flopping for calls
