Deep thoughts over coffee:

Nobody likes being told what to do. Many people don’t push back on being told what to think. Your actions are affected by what you think. If you don’t think for yourself, then you’re being told what to do.

Free your mind and think critically.

@Mathew_Winters1 It will certainly spread. My neighbor had a small plant escape a pot and now has mint everywhere including within the lawn. Smells great when mowed though!

@OverReactor1776 @pmarca I admire your ruthless optimism in the face of naysayers and merchants of gloom and doom. We need to cultivate more if this!

@AJamesMcCarthy @UTMDAnderson That's amazing news! What a win-win for you and MD Anderson. Truly, a great idea.

Great context on what has made the United States so unique.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

The Constitution is full of phrases like, "'Congress shall not...no law shall be passed.’ It's not about what the government will DO for you" says @robkhenderson.

It's about how "government is not going to interfere in your lives."

More reasons America thrived for 250 years:

Love this prioritization strategy!

[Patrick Bet-David @patrickbetdavid]

About one third of Americans say they read fewer books today than they did 10 years ago.

Half say it’s because they don’t have enough free time.

The other half say there are simply too many distractions competing for their attention.

More than a third also report that their attention spans have gotten worse over the past decade.

Meanwhile, the average person spends 10–20 hours per week watching short-form videos.

Let’s use the midpoint: 15 hours per week.

15 hours × 52 weeks = 780 hours per year

The average book takes about 6–10 hours to read.

Let’s use 8 hours.

780 ÷ 8 = 97.5 books

That’s roughly 100 books per year.

Now imagine someone went on a 5 yr short-form video fast and replaced that time with reading 500 books on:

Money
Business
Leadership
Human Nature
Great biographies

What do you think would happen to that person?

The way they think would change.

The way they see opportunities would change.

The way they understand people would change.

There are no guarantees in life, but the odds of success would certainly move in their favor.

That’s essentially what I did from age 21 to 35 after leaving the military.

And this doesn’t just apply to Gen Z, it applies to every generation.

Whether you’re 16 or 60, you can make this adjustment.

The future looks bright for those who remain curious, committed to learning, and willing to invest in themselves.

Beautiful creatures... 🐘

Zuri is happiest ensconced among her new family! Her name means "good" in Swahili and, predictability, her arrival at our Nairobi Nursery has sent the older female orphans into a tailspin as they lavish her in attention.

Physically, Zuri is doing really well but, emotionally, she has some healing ahead of her. Well victims are so often traumatised and Zuri's time inside the septic tank clearly still haunts her. She can be shy around new faces. Here, though, she is at her happiest.

Maybe you could rub some unflavored grass-fed beef tallow onto the empty bowl before adding her food to create interest that overcomes her neurosis? We used this tactic to entice our older dog to eat when she was reticent to go to her bowl in her twilight. If weight gain isn't an issue, you could mix a small amount into the food. Just a thought... 🫶

Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is listen before we speak.

Truth spoken in love requires humility, patience, and a heart willing to hear. May we be people who listen well and stand firm.

[Debbie @SeeDebbieGo]

@SecKennedy @RapidResponse47 @USDA @SecRollins @LaraLeaTrump Great news!

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

Think about a moment in your life when someone said exactly the right thing at exactly the right time.

Maybe it was a coach, a parent, a friend.
Maybe it came out of nowhere. But it landed and something shifted.

Those moments don't happen by accident.
They happen because someone was paying attention.

Beautiful creatures, great and small.

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Do elephants remember who was kind to them?

Yes – and across decades. Our ex-orphans return to the stockades long after they've gone wild, recognise specific Keepers by name, and bring their wild-born calves home to introduce them. They even come back for help.

Last month, Melia walked her new daughter Moon to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit – sixteen years after we rescued her. She came back so the people who raised her could meet her calf.

Victor Wembanyama (22 years, 155 days) and Stephon Castle (21 years, 219 days) are the youngest duo (by average age) in NBA history to score 20+ points each in a Finals game 🔥

Absolutely based perspective. Fitness is a journey with side quests and setbacks. The key is to keep going. 1% better everyday. Not easy, but definitely worthwhile.

I used to do bodybuilding shows.
6 months of exhausting prep for each show.
Losing usually 25-30 lbs to step on stage.
Tracking every calorie. Weighing every piece of food. Training everyday, lifting and cardio. It was intense… but when you are in that world, you get addicted to seeing yourself shrink. New striations every month. And then it’s finally show day and everyone congratulates you on your hard work and discipline.
While I ultimately stopped bodybuilding because I think there are drawbacks, I am grateful for the experience because pregnancy is also very much literally building a body, and your endurance and dedication to health is just as, if not more important.

But when you are pregnant, you are only growing, getting heavier, more uncomfortable. There is no aesthetic reward. No one cares if you work out or not, in fact some people will try and tell you to “just rest”…
So you have to do it for you. And of course, your little baby.
As I near the end of my pregnancy I’m grateful I was able to work out for nearly the whole thing. This is my first pregnancy and I’ll admit it hasn’t been as bad as I feared and I contribute staying active to part of that. I was still rock climbing until 27 weeks. I’m still doing daily walks and while my intensity and frequency of lifting has scaled back, I’m still doing something. Pregnancy is longer than any bodybuilding prep I’ve ever done and of course the reward is greater than anything I could dream of, my baby boy.
But then women are left to “bounce back” and try and get their body back. I’m obviously not postpartum yet but I’m glad I was able to stay somewhat fit this pregnancy so hopefully the recovery isn’t so hard.
I broke my femur three years ago and truly learned what it meant to start from scratch. And while recovery isn’t something I look forward to, at least I had time to prepare for this one, so I hope it goes well!

What if a facility like this was turned into a public domain, free-to-access observatory, set up for easy use of huge telescopes to explore the sky

The scopes could be hosted on public servers so anyone could put their name in and tinker with them, with everything live streamed

Again, if I have to show my ID to buy Sudafed, you have to show your ID to vote.

Stop it.

[Debbie @SeeDebbieGo]

@GeraldoRivera On this, we can definitely agree!
