We really CANNOT have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

What we are seeing in New York City isn’t a “blue wave”, it’s a new era of socialist-democrat policy that truly represents what the people want.

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Nah. 27 to 33 is when you enter the portal to the most beautiful version of your life
27 is when you take the leap
28 shows you who you are. Forced to sink or swim, you realize what you’re truly capable of
29 the vision becomes clear. You double down on yourself
30 you begin doing the best work of your life
31 is your meteoric rise
32 living a life better than your wildest dreams
33 is when your partner comes into your life and you begin build the next foundation to the rest of your life
Apparently, Lamine was a bright-eyed boy until he held up a Palestine flag. Then, he became controversial.
The journalists who make a living romanticising athletes like Muhammad Ali are the first to punish those who try to use their voice for something meaningful today.
The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.
