The headlines are relentless.
AI seems posed to outthink many of us.
So what do humans do?
Twenty years after writing A WHOLE NEW MIND about the rise of right-brainers, here’s my initial answer:
Double down on six human skills. 🧵👇
I worked under your FAA @PeteButtigieg and, after 34 years, mostly as an Air Traffic Controller, I retired because of how you and the Biden administration, to use your words, shit on every employee at the FAA and ruined a once fine agency.
You allowed men into my office bathroom.
I had to work with and for people you hired and promoted because of the color of their skin or who they have sex with who were wholly and completely unqualified for their job.
You FORCED me to inject an experimental dangerous drug into my body in order to keep my job and paycheck.
As for what the current ATC's "have been through", every single one of them is eligible for an interest-free loan program which their credit unions initiate during every government shutdown. As well, they all can withdraw from their TSP accounts. Every FAA employee knows these are both well established, common practices during shutdowns, so the only ones not coming to work are the ones making a political statement.
President Trump is right to call them out.
You, sir, can sit down and shut up.
Good morning.
The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all.
It's about 9 minutes long, but this is worth the watch.
Charlie and Erika's love story.
This brought me a smile tonight when the world lost this bright shining light yesterday.

Say what you will about Israel and Iran, but I’ve seen more videos of airstrikes in Tehran and Tel Aviv in the last 24 hours than I’ve seen of ANY Ukraine war footage in the last 2 1/2 years.

There's one simple hack you aren't thinking about that 88% of Final Four teams have in common dating back to 2002:
THE TRUTH ABOUT TARIFFS:
Many people think tariffs will cause inflation.
This is NOT TRUE.
This is not a political post at all. But I'm going to explain how tariffs work and what causes inflation (a thread):
