Crazy or genius? 😂🤔

[Christopher Voss @fbinegotiator]

Discomfort will happen. Confusion will happen. That’s life. Don’t take it personally. Don’t identify as a victim. Don’t sit there and ruminate over everything that went wrong. Become a problem-solver. Read. Develop a strategy. Learn how to communicate with empathy, kindness, and curiosity. Become a better you.

You may not believe that your cat was born with a predatory instinct because it's a so playful critter, but it looks like cats are responsible for the global extinction of 33 animal species & responsible for the deaths of 6.9-20.7 billion mammals annually https://t.co/FvnCSN0AG4

Percentages are reversible

4% of 75 is the same as 75% of 4, and one of the two is much easier to do mentally

@rebeccawynter @GLMasson @kejamieson_ It seems disparate, but obviously with VD these were not stats that they openly wanted to advertise. The volumes relating to the two world wars contain the clearest collations.

One of the best things about meeting new people is how they influence your thinking. So it's no coincidence that the day after meeting @GLMasson that I find myself reading about the Ottoman Empire. Sorry, Gemma, I'm focusing on its dissolution in the 20th century.
