I'm also starting the Chess Mindset newsletter. I am SUPER excited about this, and I'd love if you signed up (it's completely free!): johnbartholomewchess.com/the… I truly enjoy reading and writing, and after journaling extensively for the past year, I've decided I want to become more serious in putting my thoughts out there. I plan to cover a good mix of practical and "meta" chess topics - such as time management and dealing with triumphs/setbacks - as well as chess history and current events. Much of what I discuss ought to be useful in your life and career, too. Once again, this newsletter is 100% free, and it will come directly to your inbox.

How strongly you feel about an issue is not itself a measure of the strength of your argument.

I spent eight years being quite critical of Obama, but there is no denying that he just demonstrated in word and presence just how far the US has fallen with Trump, and how important it is to get rid of him and build anew.

I’m beginning to think “hindsight is 2020” was some kind of message from a future time traveler that we all misunderstood.

ULA is using the #AtlasV 541 rocket that will generate 2.3 million pounds of thrust to perform the #Mars2020 launch for @NASA. The two-stage rocket will include a five-meter diameter payload fairing, four solid-fuel boosters and a single engine on the high-performance Centaur.
