Personal Takeaways...
1. Optimize for the lifestyle freedom to be who you are, not who you were.
2. Be ok letting go of relationships, goals, and environments that don't support you now.
3. Be on the lookout for your "next self" and create the conditions for it to emerge.
The three components of innovation:
• Serendipity - you can't "stumble upon" a new idea if you're not exploring
• Recombination - you won't come up with new ideas out of thin air
• Incremental improvement - you never really start from scratch

@SecBernhardt Your interview with Laura Ingram confirmed why you are so ineffectual in your job. You have the authority to take control, but you are inept. You must be replaced immediately by someone who CAN and WILL. In the meantime, OUR monuments under your supposed protection burns.
Really grateful to you Senator and (@SenTomCotton@marcorubio) for introducing legislation to stop Silicon Valley censorship. The fact @Google thinks they can deplatform publications because they don’t agree with their politics is petrifying & dangerous to all Americans.

@jessicameher All cosmetic items are held in the cart. I purchase once I've had the time to research other products prio to placing the order. Everything else is added to ToDoist channels (house/clothing/decor/birthday gifts) as an action item that I can schedule a purchase date.
