Make no mistake. She got exactly what she wanted. Absolutely extraordinary that a British Home Secretary can blatantly & proudly incite far right violence with the full support of some MPs & newspapers. How low we have been brought.

Great thought for day
KURT VONNEGUT:
I went out to buy an envelope ~ Oh, my wife says, well, you're not a poor man, You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around.
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore. ~ Kurt Vonnegut 100%
A 22-year-old follower recently messaged me asking for career advice.
Here are the 5 pieces of advice I shared:
1. Swallow the Frog: This is one of the greatest "hacks" to get ahead early in your career. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, learn to do it, and take it off their plate. Easy win.
2. Do the "Old Fashioned" Things Well: There are simple things that still stand out. Look people in the eye, do what you say you'll do, be early, practice good posture, have a confident handshake. It sounds silly, but these things are all free and will never go out of style.
3. Work Hard First (& Smart Later): It's in vogue to say that working smart is all that matters. Wrong. If you want to accomplish anything meaningful, you have to start by working hard. Build a reputation for hard work—take pride in it. Then you can start to build leverage to work smart.
4. Build Storytelling Skills: World-changing CEOs aren't the smartest or most talented in their organizations. They are exceptional at: (1) Aggregating data and (2) Communicating it simply & effectively. Data in, story out. Build that skill and you'll always be valuable.
5. Build a Rep for Figuring It Out: Early on, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work, ask the key questions, get it done. People will fight over you.
Embrace those 5 pieces of advice and I guarantee you'll stand out and be on the right track.

My life improved dramatically when I stopped glorifying the wrong things.
What I used to glorify:
• No sleep
• 100-hour workweeks
• Busyness
• Doing more
What I now glorify:
• Sleeping 8 hours
• Daily physical activity
• Unstructured schedules
• Doing less, but better
Two big mistakes in life:
1. Worrying about what other people think about you.
2. Believing that other people think about you in the first place.
Harsh Truth: Most people don’t really care about you.
The Spotlight Effect says that we overestimate the degree to which other people are noticing or observing our actions.
This is liberating—stop worrying about what others think, be yourself, and live according to your values.
Also, re: last tweet, I've actually thought a lot about pricing and there are a few reasons I'm not releasing games for free despite the success of Dusk and Iron Lung etc:
