“Decisions are made by those who show up.”

Happy Shakespeare Day! This has become one of my favorite sonnets, so I thought I’d give it an airing. #Shakespeare #nationalshakespeareday #sonnet

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

I'm grateful for so much in my life. My wife and son, my extended family, my dogs, my faith, my home, my friends.

Choosing Humanity While Working With AI - Don Livingston How do we choose to hold on to our humanity while working with AI? It may just be as simple as common courtesy.

I couldn’t agree more. I actually wrote a blog post about this almost 2 years ago. We are as we choose to do. If we choose to practice kindness, friendliness, empathy, and understanding we become the type of human that deserves to be called “human”. donlivingston.me/choosing-hum...
