Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
36 hours of travel, including an 8hr no-wifi flight resulted in this: my official list of 100 Wisconsinite/WI associated people to kill a gorilla.
Any misses here?

The pop #Packers fans gave when Mark Murphy said, "For the first time since 2002," is one of the coolest moments I’ve seen at an NFL Draft.
Even a week later, I can’t get over it. The “Go Pack Go” chant afterward is incredible too.
We live in two totally different stratospheres right now. We’re not even remotely close to one another as a humanity. There are two avatars for this - a newsmax host eating tacos celebrating deportations, and a pastor asking for love & empathy to help guide the way. These are the two sides. You’re on one of them. This isn’t even a commentary on right or wrong. Or which side you should be on. It’s a commentary on how I cannot fathom how we could be further apart from each other as a species. And I don’t have any idea how we get past it or come closer together. Loving others and having empathy for others is as much in my dna as my blue eyes or my love for my children. That’s not a “virtual signal” it’s just legitimately how I was raised. It’s not something I can compromise on. And I’m assuming any of you on the other side are unwilling to compromise as well. You’ve had clearly a massive different set of life experiences than I have that has changed your world view to make it entirely different from mine. But it is so hard to see us get to this point in time where division rules, compromise is not an option, and basic principles of loving thy neighbor and treating others the way that you’d want to be treated are not only no longer practiced but actually vilified. I see so much good in the people I interact with on a day to day basis. And I’m never giving up hope. But holy shit we’ve got to find a way to work towards a common good and come closer together or things are going to get so much worse before they get better. Would really love to be able to start believing in humanity again. Be good to each other. Stay kind. Lead with love. Help each other out. Try to stay positive. Love always wins.
I never post here, but I want to say Twitter is only good for sports now. I clicked on the “for you” tab for the first time today and saw two guys get shot, four nudes, and half a dozen flat-Earth posts. @elonmusk really got rid of the memes and left us with this???

Congrats to the NFL on an amazing script for the 2023 season! Great job all around, writers. Can’t wait to see how it ends!
