Give me library, or give me death.
Fun fact: Almost every classic era noir film was based on a book. And in most cases, the book is better.
Go write the damn thing.

supporting your public library is so sexy
Humans haven't developed their organic intelligence anywhere near enough to be trusted to create dependable artificial intelligence.
Everyone was warned about this, and it’s happening just as we feared.

The world needs your stories. Now more than ever. Yes, I’m talking about you. Yes, you. Go write your story.
For the third time, yes, you!
I get it. As an elder in the tribe, I'm hunkered down 4 the rest of my life. My heart is broken, too. I thought we were better than this.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

You can pick and choose to your heart's content, but only for yourself. Not for everyone else.
