A woman at a park confronts a group of Latino vendors and tells them that if they don’t have a permit to sell, she’s going to call the police.
She hears fireworks going off nearby and runs across the field toward a group of black people at the park. She tells the group to stop setting off fireworks or she’ll call the cops on them.

Most people don’t fail because they’re unmotivated.
They fail because they never built a plan their brain could actually follow.
Motivation feels good — but it’s unreliable.
It’s an emotion, not a system.
What the research shows is simple:
Your brain doesn’t crave motivation.

When you give it structure — a written plan, a step-by-step map — you activate a reward loop that keeps you executing automatically.
This post breaks down the neuroscience of follow-through — and why a simple plan beats bursts of inspiration every time.

Here's an 8-year-old's drawing of a house. It's colorful, it's cute, but no one can live in it. A grown-up house builder, on the other hand, picks up tools and actually makes something you can live in.
I don't know if anyone in Biden's administration even drew a crayon house, but they definitely didn't pick up any tools and build anything.
@NotebookLM Meh. Publicly shared notebooks might be interesting, but @Google curated ones that I can't add my own sources to... not so much.
NotebookLM badly needs some kind of organising functionality.
Today, we remember Reyhaneh Jabbari, a 26-year-old Iranian woman EXECUTED for defending herself against RAPE. Imagine facing death simply for saying "No"! Western women, stand with us in amplifying Reyhaneh’s voice and all women in Iran who risk everything for their dignity and rights. #ReyhanehJabbari #WomanLifeFreedom
@Omegadarren@JunkScience@staceyabrams@chrislhayes What I heard her say was the little town was a prototype. (Not sure where that money came from.) She used that experiment to get the $2B but never said who (if anyone) got new appliances with the $2B. Great business model.
