@CramboCrypto @noblemillions That’s because his former pals were about to throw him under the bus. At least my crack is real. Good luck with your conspiracy theories.

[Billy Banks @billybanks99]

@CramboCrypto @noblemillions Right. Because that makes total logical sense. Once in jail, he magically loses the power of speech. Stop riding unicorns and come back to earth.

@chaser I think I saw him fondling a chihuahua this morning. It was inside the sink he was carrying.

My morning reflection, post-election, excuse the interjection:

It's not just abortion rights that are at stake in November. Our electoral integrity and democracy are too.

[Nicole Perlroth @nicoleperlroth]

Interesting timing, don’t you think?

Reads like an open invitation for election interference.

–@JamesClear
Yes! It doesn't matter how much you check off your lists, if you are working on the wrong things, you will end up in the wrong place. Take the time to prioritize and let your efforts compound. That's progress.

It's such a relief to see things coming out of the federal government that are cheerful and competent, after four years of angry and dumb. You'd have to be very far to the right not to notice the difference.

@davidfarrier And I’m really impressed with their masterful use of the English language. My illiterate 6-year olds potty talk would make them weep with jealousy. And I love how insecure morons attack your masculinity. What are they hiding? Or compensating for?

1. Say yes to almost everything.
2. Figure out what you're good at.
3. Say no to almost everything.

@shaneparrish If there’s a silver lining in this COVID mess, ejecting negative people from your life and doubling down on those that pull you up has been the gift that keeps on giving. As my grandfather used to say, wrestle with a turd, you’re gonna get shit on you. Flush those toxic people.

If you want a habit or behavior to stick, next to changing your environment, having an accountability partner is the surest path to success. Thanks @markmanson!

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

When you want to make a change, ask yourself:

1. How can I create accountability?
2. Who can I find to support me/do it with me?
3. How can I make it fun?

I have no idea what Joe Biden did all weekend and it's fucking glorious

Competence matters. (That’s it. that’s the tweet. You’d think it wouldn’t be a controversial statement, but watch the trolls feast.)

"It is, of course, much easier to complain about how things are bad rather than do anything about it, which is why people prefer to complain. 1/100th the satisfaction, but 1/1000000000000th the effort."

Like @JamesClear said, we see the results of years of hard work. The tip of the iceberg, not the mountain of work that preceded it under the surface
