Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

Your light is still finding people.

We’re gonna be okay.

I’m so grateful I got to be your son.

Love you forever.

Nine years sober this week.

There’s a piece of paper tucked inside a book in my nightstand.

It’s been with me for years. The folds are worn thin from being unfolded on hard days.

One line on it carried me through the hardest year of my life.

“Living today is the only way to have a life.”

Nine years later, I’m still learning that lesson.

I never got peace from worrying about tomorrow.

I never got freedom from reliving yesterday.

I only ever got today.

This year did its best to drag me into yesterday and tomorrow.

Today, I have a wife I love, children who fill me with wonder, work that matters to me, and a life I no longer need to escape.

Nine years of choosing today.

Deep gratitude for everyone who keeps showing up for themselves, one day at a time.

i just found out the older British woman who’s been looking after my children is actually my EX-HUSBAND IN A COSTUME ?????

Stress is the silent killer of health. You can optimize every biomarker and still age fast if your nervous system is in constant fight-or-flight.

Heartbroken by the passing of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Rob’s direction was defined by a radical gentleness. He turned the camera on our most legendary friendships and revealed the beating heart within them. To lose them this way is profoundly sad. Thank you both for a lifetime spent championing the beautiful complexity of the human condition.

@DanielLurie continues to lead with a practical, recovery-oriented approach to supporting our hometown and its neighborhoods!

This new law enforcement sobering center marks a fundamental change in San Francisco: If you do drugs on our streets, we will arrest you. And with this new resource, we will give you a real chance to enter recovery.

No gathering rooted in faith, love, or community should ever end in fear. Our prayers are with the families carrying grief today in Grand Blanc. Grateful for those who stepped forward in the chaos to protect and care for others.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

For me, it’s about service. Not fixing someone’s pain, but standing with them in it.

Every act of care says: you matter.

To those suffering, I pray for connection and a strong community to remind you that you are not alone.

An insight that changed my perspective:

Memory is not a recording, it’s a reconstruction. Every time we recall a memory, the brain reconstructs it from fragments stored across different neural systems. To rewrite the story is to rebuild the brain’s architecture of who we are.

Few things make me happier than listening to my kids' piano lessons.

@MargaretAnnaAl1 @OliverSacks Thank you for sharing your story and sharing this photo of Dad and Oliver. They both adored one another and I'm grateful to have spent much quality time with the two of them together. Wishing you a week filled with good memories.

Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday.

This season carries gravity. Father’s Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days.

For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it.

But alongside it lives a legacy built on generosity and kindness.

He made people feel seen. Gave permission to feel deeply and to laugh through pain. That mission continues.

To those carrying loss right now: you’re not alone.

Happy birthday, Dad. Love you forever.

What's the actual number of children who will lose access to therapy, counseling, or mental health support services with the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill @grok?

[Zak Williams @zakwilliams]

Happy Father's Day, Dad! Thank you for the masterclass in manliness and mischief. Love you forever. 💙
