“Family pathology rolls from generation to generation like a fire in the woods taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.”

In 2021, at a 30-year average fix rate of 2.96%, a total cost of a $400,000 mortgage would cost $604,180.

At the current 7.7%, it would cost $1,027,529.

I give you the #TraderJoes murals, created by employees. And obviously they did their #RocketCity research.

I’m inside for a behind the scenes tour, we are two days out until liftoff for their first store in North Alabama to open here in the Midcity District. #Huntsville

1. In The Coddling, @glukianoff and I pointed to Instagram as a main suspect in the sudden rise of depression/anxiety among Gen Z girls that began around 2012.

New report: Facebook’s own internal research supports that hypothesis.

Community Resource Officer Micah Alexander visited Valley Fellowship Christian Academy on Friday. He spoke to three different summer classes about safety and community policing. The students also got to check out the HPD Mustang. Thanks for letting us visit!

This is the cultural age of unfettered self-indulgence.

[jordan @jlanee2173]

@ConceptualJames Yes. Feel like the “mainstream” political sentiment these days is just a bundle of cognitive distortions disguised as moral righteousness.

Fabulous from @robkhenderson:

"Advanced tech exploits the brains of ideologues, who then create a culture where others spend too much time pledging fealty to ideologies rather than developing new ideas and technology for the benefit of humankind."

Tornado Watch till 8pm for Madison County and all of north Alabama. This is a particularly dangerous situation. Have multiple ways to receive warnings. Identifiy your safe place BEFORE a warning is issued. Battery powered radio, flashlights, batteries and snacks for your kit.

Lol! Appreciation for me, appropriation for thee

[Embassy of Ireland, USA @IrelandEmbUSA]

Cultural appreciation is not cultural appropriation. Ireland is the land of céad míle fáilte - a hundred thousand welcomes - and all are welcome to celebrate #StPatricksDay with us tomorrow.
