I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

[Thread] George Lucas, the three-second rule and the Jedi Starfighter example It's a story that Doug Chiang (responsible for some of the finest Star Wars spaceship designs of the last 25 years) often tells at his conferences. 1/25

To everyone who's ok w Biden rolling over and allowing Trump to come in without issue, consider... We, as a society, are Native Americans in 1608. MAGA is spotted on the horizon headed towards Jamestown. Slaughtering the Europeans pbly seems like a good idea in hindsight.

You have a choice. If you decide to obsess-you've made a choice. One day you'll run out of time to do what you want to do. So get on with it. Please. For your own sake. You can, if you want. And if you're scared - that's fine. Move through that - take action.
