"Thomas Jefferson taught that a democracy was impractical unless the people were educated. No matter how stringent the protections of the people might be in constitutions or common law, there would always be a temptation, Jefferson thought, for the powerful, the wealthy, and the unscrupulous to undermine the ideal of government run by and for ordinary citizens.
The antidote is vigorous support for the expression of unpopular views, widespread literacy, substantive debate, a common familiarity with critical thinking, and skepticism of pronouncements of those in authority—which are all also central to the scientific method."

God speed Steve Cropper: a man who's guitar sound was absolutely undeniable.
From Booker T to Otis to The Blues Brothers band, he will forever be one of the greatest.

After nailing the vocals and wonky guitars in O My Soul, Pat Sansone (who joined @Wilco 04) revealed this was his first @FirstAvenue gig.
“I’m so happy to finally be here!”
Jon Auer: “And yet he was the only one who could figure out how to get into the venue.” #bigstarquintet

Here’s the annual picture.
•This isn’t Fri or Sat, it’s a weekday
•It’s not primetime, it’s 1pm
•It’s not pros, it’s high school
•It’s not the championship, it’s a quarterfinal
…and an NHL arena is sold out and buzzing.
The Minnesota State H.S. Hockey tourney is amazing.

Say what you want about Texas HS Football, Indiana HS Hoops, or Iowa HS Wrestling... but nothing compares to the Minnesota High School Hockey tournament.
It's a statewide holiday which began earlier this morning. It's broadcast all across the state. People (both students and adults) with no skin in the game call in sick to attend 4 days of elite level hockey. Many participants go on to become businessman, lawyers, teachers, doctors, and a plethora of other things...while others go on to become professionals and Olympians.
Seniors chasing one final memory and creating a legacy to freshmen making a name for themselves and laying the foundation for the rest of their careers. All with one goal... represent the logo on the front of their sweater. It's beautiful. It's competitive sport in its purest form.
I'd imagine the student sections are already pushing the limits which makes me so dang proud. So excited to continue watching elite level play, elite hockey hair, and elite cellys.
Good luck to all the teams, and THANK YOU for the entertainment.

This is Marcus Aurelius.
In 180 AD, he wrote Meditations, a personal journal that was never meant to be published.
Yet, it became one of history’s greatest guides to living a meaningful and resilient life.
Here’s how it works:

Jackson Chourio is the first player ever to secure a 20/20 season in the big leagues as a 20-year-old. Mike Trout came oh-so-close in 2012, hitting home run No. 20 on his 21st birthday.
