@jessesingal This is OUTSTANDING and truly has it all - redwoods, oceans, Pygmy forest, all of it. I turned it into a longer one - easy to do.

@Tancrededib Flywheel, so you can escape into GGP across the street for a nature break for the brain.

@JoshLipnik That is stunning

head of anthropic’s safeguards research just quit and said “the world is in peril” and that he’s moving to the UK to write poetry and “become invisible”. other safety researchers and senior staff left over the last 2 weeks as well... probably nothing.

@Noahpinion Old standbys: Rintaro, Blue Plate, Burma Superstar, Marufuku, Emmy’s Spaghetti for the vibes and the Dolly Parton pinball, the breakfast egg sando from
Eats, or a sausage slice from the to-go window of Tony’s

Congress could stop this madness tomorrow. It could take back control of trade policy and cancel the tariffs. It could bring impeachment proceedings on the impeccable grounds that the president has plainly lost his mind. No one who is compos mentis writes as he just did to the Norwegian leader.

The Founders knew what they were doing when they gave Congress these powers. They were obsessed with the story of how the Roman Republic had ended. They were determined to prevent the rise of what they called “Caesarists”, meaning men who believed that their ambitions were bigger than the Constitution. They knew how difficult it was to remove such men once they were in office, surrounded by flatterers and sycophants.

There was a moment, following the assassination of Caligula, when the Roman Senate might have restored the Republic. Senators spoke movingly of “the mischiefs tyrannies have brought upon this commonwealth, discouraging virtue, depriving our leading men of their liberty, elevating flattery and slavish fear, and replacing the rule of law with the whims of those who govern”.

Had they acted decisively, they might have ended the imperial system. “It would be enough to live a single hour under our old laws,” declared one senator, “the laws that raised our nation to greatness”.

But when news came that a new emperor had been proclaimed, senators rushed to declare their loyalty to him. Rome returned to its dictatorial executive, its obsequious legislature and its bellicose foreign policy.

How many Congressmen today will make a stand for their old laws, the laws that raised their nation to greatness?

Good morning. Here’s Bob Weir performing “Morning Dew” on stage for the 408th and final time, featuring Sturgill MF’n Simpson no less.🔥

Terrorism is downstream of culture. Those who claim that this event is shocking -- especially political and institutional elites -- are either lying or haven’t been paying attention.

@TaylorMod That bass changed me at 15 💔

@bryan_johnson Take very very long walks. Try a different route every day. Smile at strangers as they pass by for a dopamine boost for both of you. Write your thoughts. Volunteer.

If you're 13 right now here's what you should do:

Spend all your time reading philosophy, sci fi, poetry, and history. Go to museums and look at every damn thing in there. Watch all the classic films and maybe every single movie made in the 90s. Learn how to write prose, document your thoughts and observations as thoroughly as you can. Go outside, play sports, learn how to play an instrument. Paint. Listen to all kinds of music.

Live life as humanly as you possibly can, and bring that love and energy back to whatever it is you decide to do in the future.
