A simple rule for life that rarely fails: Optimize for enthusiasm. Make as many choices as you can that leave you feeling energetic and interested. Pay attention to when you have the urge to pursue or participate in something and do more of it.

Scroll on social media and you'll see... A video of someone being murdered. A cat video. Deep political analysis. Someone dancing to the latest hit. Live footage of a war. All in one minute. We treat this like it's normal. It's not. What is that doing to the human brain? The research is starting to tell us. And it's not good.

Again: it’s time. 🏴‍☠️
In case you didn’t have a sense of the scale of 🇨🇳 overseas fishing fleets Strip mining the ocean of life and leaving it bare for those who rely on it Dozens of ships as far as the eye can see For months and years at a time

I would like one Freedom, and one of these trucks. Thanks, just tell me who to vote for and make it happen.
You are not really free until you can purchase this $10k Toyota truck in the U.S. Everything short of this is tyranny.

This is not the first half of the Super Bowl that I was expecting … and I’m LOVING IT.

Every summer we get to see a few Fire Boss’s and 415’s scooping from lakes around here for wildfires. Aerial firefighter pilots are The 🐐.
I'm not a pilot but I have to imagine that you have to be an absolute BADASS to skim the water in what is basically a flying tank, over and over all day long, and do it with the accuracy it takes to scoop up 1,000+ gallons of water and not have an accident. My hat is off to these pilots!!

Found a Facebook group where Boomers post their hiking photos from the 1970s and its like another planet. Pure Americana, but feels like a lost civilization.

Time to bring back nationally sponsored privateers.
Incredible visualization of China's industrial-scale fishing fleet devastating South American fisheries after already overfishing waters in Asia and elsewhere

So sad. Last year I (by pure chance) saw two EA18Gs flying the same route, VR-1355, aka “million dollar ride” through Snoq. Pass. One of the coolest aviation moments I’ve seen. Crazy low and fast. Disgusting to see the basement-dwellers saying their gender was a factor at all.
The U.S. Navy has revealed the Identities of the Two Aviators who were Killed in the Crash of a EA-18G “Growler” Electronic-Warfare Aircraft near Mount Rainier in Washington last Tuesday. They were Identified as 31-Year-Old Naval Aviator Lieutenant Serena Wileman, and 31-Year-Old Naval Flight Officer Lieutenant Commander Lyndsay Evans, both Members of the “Zappers” of Electronic Attack Squadron 130 (VAQ-130) based out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The Aviators were conducted a Routine Training Mission when the Crash occurred, with it taking several days for Search-and-Rescue Teams to find the Wreckage; with the Crash Site eventually being discovery in a 6,000ft Steep, Heavily-Wooded Area to the East of Mount Rainier. Both LT Serena Wileman and LCDR Lyndsay Evans served aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) during its latest Deployment to the Red Sea, where they conducted Strikes against the Houthi Terrorist Group in Western Yemen, earning several Strike Flight Air Medals.

“Gasconading blatherskite” is hands down the most searingly accurate burn I’ve heard this year. 🔥
Sir, I have shared prayer breakfasts with elder saints whose griddles you are not worthy to grease. I have feasted on bacon with pastors too genuinely masculine to worry whether their every action was in a "warrior spirit." More eggs for me, you gasconading blatherskite.

“I watched a single three-minute clip of Bluey, and now I shall write an entire article about how it’s threatening biblical gender roles and my Republican politics. I am very intelligent.”

We’re at the beginning of this Goldilocks zone with our oldest, and this tracks. It’s magic. And will be over before we know it.
PSA FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS: The Goldilocks zone for parenting is when your kids are 5 - 12 years old. This is the age of childlike wonder. This is when you must do your most epic trips, have blow out birthday parties, Disneyland, go all-in on holiday traditions and be INTENT on creating AMAZING core memories. Age 0 - 5 is sleep deprivation, scheduled nap times and survival. Little kids are amazing! But they won’t remember much of anything you do with them during these years. Age 13+ your kids are focused on friends and their own interests. You still have them, they are just no longer kids. The young childlike wonder is traded in for self-determination. Ages 5 - 12….do whatever it takes to make the most of this life season.
