@SeverianoNessus @Bo_Billy @jockowillink You’re posting this. It helps people. It helps him. Who fucking cares.

[U2 @U2]

On this Ash Wednesday, Days Of Ash is released as a self-contained collection of five new songs and a selected poem - American Obituary, The Tears Of Things, Song Of The Future, Wildpeace, One Life At A Time and Yours Eternally (ft. Ed Sheeran & Taras Topolia). This new EP is a response to current events, inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom. Four of the five tracks are about individuals – a mother, a father, a teenage girl whose lives were brutally cut short - and a soldier who’d rather be singing but is ready to die for the freedom of his country.

Days of Ash EP available now. Listen here: https://t.co/OB3mVe69vu

@NashSevereWx What do I do with my dog? Will Kayne Prime be open? Do I need to remove the snow from the top of my SUV? can you do a live stream while I sleep?

4 brutally honest reminders from Seneca:

1. Most suffering is self-inflicted
2. Stop putting things off
3. Stop acting like you’re going to live forever
4. Seek out challenges

@DanielleCo13449 @bpardoe870 @timburchett Jacks response to this is everything.

@timburchett You don’t do anything for us in Tennessee.

@timburchett @realDonaldTrump You’re a loser. Join him with the Epstein files. I’m sure you’re there as well.

@JDaviesPhD Run and hike with my dogs. Still do.

@NashSevereWx Already up. 🙌🏻. By late morning you expect the ice to melt? In Inglewood and had a few things to do this morning. Nothing is slick yet but didn’t want to chance it.

If
by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.

I see a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to making money.

Here's my attempt to provide some good...

My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money:

[Jonathon Ballard @jonathonballard]

jesus christ this is a mouthful so I'll just stay outside all night and day now (kidding, but seriously)

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

There is a very fast way to shift your sleep-wake schedule, whether for travel, becoming an early riser (or late riser) or accommodating shift work.

@ASamanthaRae lol

"The common narrative is that kids learn faster than adults, but if you watch any toddler they spend a large portion of the day attempting things that are on the edge of their ability.

How much time have you spent on the edge of your ability today?"

Facts.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Exactly the same people who were mad about my takes that Biden needed to step aside are mad about my pointing out his obvious hypocrisy. I guess if you forgive him for quite possibly throwing an election to Trump you'll forgive him for anything.
