“A politician divides mankind into two classes: tools and enemies.” – Nietzsche #quotes

“At every moment keep a sturdy mind on the task at hand, as a Roman and human being, doing it with strict and simple dignity, affection, freedom, and justice—giving yourself a break from all other considerations. You can do this if you approach each task as if it is your last, giving up every distraction, emotional subversion of reason, and all drama, vanity, and complaint over your fair share. You can see how mastery over a few things makes it possible to live an abundant and devout life—for, if you keep watch over these things, the gods won’t ask for more.” #stoicism #stoic Holiday, Ryan; Hanselman, Stephen.

It’s interesting and surprising to me how much joy I get from just watching chickens be chickens. #chickens #backyardchickens

Here's a non-bitcoin post for you. Sometimes there just isn't enough room in the bathtub for all the kids. 😂 #grownostr #chickens #backyardchickens

Is it just me or are more and more websites not loading when I am using a vpn? Even when the IP address is in the US, which it almost always is.

Oof. Buddy Guy has a new album out and he’s still got it. 🔥 #tunestr #blues

Gm. New essay up yesterday about smartphones and kids. All my daughter’s friends and cousins have a smartphone now. She is going into seventh grade. Here’s why we’re waiting until high school. #coffeechain #essays #longreads https://primal.net/e/ View article →

“The Paramount case is different because it tied all of this together into a coherent system: a politically motivated lawsuit, regulatory leverage from a federal agency, and non-monetary concessions that directly alter editorial behavior. It’s the dream scenario for any would-be strongman: state-sanctioned speech control without the pesky optics of state control.”

I’m not a fan of public health theater.

Thanks for everyone that replied to this and gave us ideas. Unfortunately Bonnie passed away last night. I never expected we’d get attached to chickens like we have but we were all pretty sad that she died. The two orpingtons we had were our friendliest ones. Thanks again, friends. 🙏🏼 View quoted note →

Hey chicken farmers, I have a question for you. One of our nine week old birds started doing this this afternoon. Have you had a chicken do this? What do think is wrong with her? Sounds like she’s wheezing… We think it might be something stuck in her throat, gape worm, or heat stroke. Thoughts?

Most of the time we care more about aligning with our tribe than we do about finding the truth.

My cat doesn’t have many hobbies, but her favorite is throwing up on the carpet.

“Take a good hard look at people’s ruling principle, especially of the wise, what they run away from and what they seek out.” - Marcus Aurelius Leaders must maintain guiding principles because they can't explicitly prepare for unpredictability. These principles exist for everyone, although they may be more or less explicit from person to person. We want leaders who think hard about their principles.
