@MicahCaskey @MariaOlsenNate Feckless; we need to see that word used more, especially in these unprecedented times.

[John Barnes @_johnbarnes]

Fun?
Eeeesh.

Having fun this afternoon on the floor of the South Carolina House with members of the Freedom Caucus.

@MicahCaskey More tools in that pic than an Ace Hardware.

@tom_peters —he sounds like your kinda CEO of a company making a phenomenal product, that when it underperforms, they own it!!

EVERY coach in EVERY college sport should listen to this approach. It’s not an accident Coach Hurley has created a consistent winning culture!

It’s gets people about 40% towards an actual better life, but is ultimately unfulfilling, because we can’t be the source of fulfillment for ourselves. We aren’t big enough, or perfect enough.

Does anyone think stoicism is kinda overrated?

Intelligent design

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material, traveling at 100 miles per second, shoot off the sun. Earth's magnetic field deflects most of it, but not all. The solar wind, a stream of charged particles, flows at 447 km/s (1 million mph), and while the magnetic field protects us, some particles still cause auroras and geomagnetic storms.

[John Barnes @_johnbarnes]

Makes sense because 100 miles isn’t THAT close.
Columbia is a city, with city amenities, and city living, and city issues. It’s a city.
Period.

[Post and Courier Columbia @PCColumbia]

Columbia isn’t rebranding itself, but it is increasingly telling visitors and potential residents about what it has to offer based on its own assets, not just its proximity to other metro areas.

The City of Forest Acres received a $2 million grant from the state to develop a city park as part of the planned $100 million redevelopment of the shuttered Richland Mall.

[John Monk @jmonkatthestate]

Five or six billboards like this posted on major routes into Columbia for today’s USC-Clemson game. And one on I77 near Charlotte. Trump-loser message alternates with: other ads

[Jon Acuff @JonAcuff]

Raise brave kids. Culture runs on fear right now, for votes, for clicks, for sales, for headlines, for compliance, but it doesn't mean your family has to. If you want a brave 16-year-old, teach a 6-year-old bravery and then give them ten years to practice.

[John Barnes @_johnbarnes]

@JonAcuff 3 years away from that for us. We’re already so excited to see it in the distance.

[John Barnes @_johnbarnes]

@thegeneralmills ‘Cept they don’t want you to do that. 🤣

“I’ll see your state reps, and raise you one Fed rep.” The WORST writer in Hollywood could script this.
This drama desperately needs a plot twist—fast.

Jim Clyburn "Richland 1 School District is the most recent predominantly minority school district that has been called into question by members of the state legislature." US Rep Clyburn to address proposed investigation.
