Just finished it last night. It is probably one of the greatest character studies ever done about sociopaths, about men in power, or even men and women in general.

Former first lady Michelle Obama delivered an emotional tribute to her husband, former President Barack Obama, during the Obama Presidential Center's grand opening ceremony in Chicago Thursday.

"You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life," she said, "and of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both."

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

Former Presidents Clinton, Bush, Biden and Obama arrived at the opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center and Library opening in Chicago's Jackson Park. The site was chosen for the Obama family's deep roots in the neighborhood, both in their lives before political prominence and after President Barack Obama's meteoric rise to lead the nation. https://t.co/uXA0hb9LxZ

Me and the homies locked in in Plato’s cave

[𝚛𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚝 @rawatthekiid]

in odyssey 20.18, homer has odysseus tell his own heart, “endure, my heart” (τέτλαθι δή, κραδίη), a famous example of self address that many scholars view as an early literary depiction of emotional self control and inner psychological conflict.

"When the madness of an entire nation disturbs a solitary mind, it is not enough to say the man is mad.”
Francis Imbuga Betrayal in the city

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

You build competence not for recognition, but for independence, because the more capable you become, the less you rely on other people’s approval, direction, or permission to move forward in your life.

Justice Mohamed Warsame: We should not constitutionalise the Islamic Sharia, but allow its constitutionalisation to function within the parameters of equality and fairness. Islamic law is not repugnant to justice.
