Just returned from a trip to Japan. In truth, I think modern Tokyo is one of the great accomplishments in civilizational history. It is the apex city.
There are 40 million people living there with extremely high levels of *justified* social trust.
It's incredibly clean, orderly, and safe, and yet it doesn't feel totalitarian--at least not if you behave yourself like a civilized person. The respect for individual freedom is clear and visible.
Reaching such high levels of social harmony would be an accomplishment for a single neighborhood, but Tokyo happens to the biggest city in the world. The sheer size alone is unbelievable--the infrastructure alone boggles the mind--and yet it's coupled with ultra-high levels of social harmony. There's nothing else like it.
Truly, it gives me some pride as a human. What an incredible thing we've accomplished.

Gay rights succeeded because they asked society for something profoundly liberal: let consenting adults live their lives without persecution.
Gender activism made a fundamentally different demand: change your language, change your definitions and sometimes surrender sex-based boundaries.
No wonder it became divisive.

The most important thing I’ve learned from the World Cup is you can kick the ball into someone’s testicles and then score while they’re writhing on the ground but DO NOT cross that line that nobody knows where it is.

Diet Coke is a great human achievement
Delicious 100% of the time in canned/bottled form (but also customizable with fountain machines), produced and distributed at an unimaginable scale, probably OK for you, no animal-derived ingredients, loved across political + other lines

Dear athletic directors, believe it or not we enjoy home and homes a trillion times more than neutral sites. For the love of God and the game, quit fucking this up.

Ben Sasse is uniquely extraordinary…but if you watch that interview and wish we had more civically serious leaders like him, please understand that’s a choice. Voters can demand it.

NEW: Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman reflects on being MOVED to tears by the Christian cross after returning to Earth from the historic expedition:
"When I got back on the on the ship — I'm not really a religious person — but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything or to experience anything."
"So I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to just come visit us for a minute, and when that man walked in, I'd never met him before in my life. But I saw the cross on his collar, and I just broke down in tears."
"It's very hard to fully grasp what we just went through."

Being in your early 40s is weird, man. People around your age are in every stage of life. You have people who are grandparents. You have people who have newborns. You have people dating 25-year-olds. You have people celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. Some of them look 60, and some of them look 30. All the bases are covered when you are in your early 40s.

This whole NASA Artemis II mission to the moon thingy got me thinking deeply about God.
If it weren't for His creation, science wouldn't exist. Because technically, science is just a study of what God created.
You just can't take our God out of the equation.

Something you learn in middle age:
There is no huge, secret group of super-smart, highly competent people running the organizations that make up our society.
For better or worse, it's mostly the same people you went to high school with, all grown up.

It’s July 29th… the day my parents adopted me. It’s my GOTCHA DAY (not just for rescue dogs, people)!! 57 years ago today I became a Chenoweth. We always celebrated this day like it was my birthday growing up. I love you, mom & dad. Thank you for this life you gave me. I am so blessed 🩷

If you see someone over 40 who is out after 9pm, they 100% took a nap earlier in the day.

You know what I miss? Turning on something and having it just work. No registering on another device. No signing into an account. No downloading an app. Just plug it in and it does the thing it's supposed to do.

Luke AFB was established in 1941, so unless you bought your house before then stop your whining & thank them for your freedoms.
