I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

I spoke to @JohnLittellMD today, and we are both seeing a large number of patients who need - but refuse - conventional medical treatment because they have lost all trust in medicine. Without transparency + accountability, we have no hope of restoring trust.

Education is a gateway to broadening perceptions, fighting stereotypes, and creating parity in this world. Celebrating all of the women who have made an indelible impact on my life on #InternationalWomensDay and everyday. #EachforEqual #IWD2020

IT TAKES 2 SECONDS TO SHARE! Police say 4-year-old Christiana Kennedy was last seen Tuesday night in the Chillum area of Prince George's County. Anyone with information is asked to contact police. bit.ly/39lFnWG

You will learn a lot more about people in tough times than in good times.

Raise boys to be Masculine instead of effeminate That way they’ll be more peaceful, logical, reasonable & rational instead of being overly emotional They’ll also be brave & courageous when necessary

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just because it’s holiday season it doesn’t give you an excuse to be late on rent or not make your full payment. Get your priorities straight people.
Get comfortable with rejection. Billionaires get rejected. Presidents get rejected. The Pope gets rejected. Everyone gets rejected. Develop your handling rejections skills.

All work won’t be paid work. Some work comes to make you better. Quicker. More efficient. It’s practice.

Remember Kelley Williams-Bolar? She was was convicted of using the wrong residence to get her daughters into a better school district in Ohio than underperforming Akron. She was sentenced to 3 years & ordered to pay $30,000 to the school district. But, #CollegeCheatingScandal

"Respect for the God-given dignity of every human being, no matter their race, ethnicity or other circumstances of their birth, is the essence of American patriotism. To believe otherwise is to oppose the very idea of America." - @SenJohnMcCain

Derek, on my 40th, I remember thinking I hadn’t accomplished anything. By my 50th, I had done a tv show on Fox and CNN, held massive rallies in DC, The Temple Mount and cowboys stadium and has 20 NYT best selling books. It’s never too late. Focus, believe, create.

Men & Women need each other. It looks like we’re being led astray by certain interests that don’t like this paradigm. The future by necessity must be ours; not theirs. Perhaps we ought push back to restore Yin/Yang Balance.
