Thinking about our current political culture, I am reminded of this section of the Gospel.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Final from tonight’s game. Black Hawks 42 - Royal Oak 7 Great team victory tonight! #BlackHawksFootball

I’m not saying going for a walk will solve all your problems, I’m just saying there’s almost no problem that’s going to be made worse by going for a walk.

During difficult times, ask yourself: “What do I have to do to make this one the best things that has ever happened to me?"

The older I get, the more I realize that success at most things isn't about finding the one trick or secret nobody knows about. It's consistently doing the boring, mundane things everyone knows about but is too unfocused/undisciplined to do. Get good at boring.

During tonight's broadcast, we surprised Lions Legend Lomas Brown with the news that he'll be inducted to the Pride of the Lions this year! Congratulations @LomasBrown75!

High school sports used to be about growing up dreaming about playing for your local community’s school. Wearing the colors and repping your mascot. Now it’s about paying thousands each year in the hope you can get a $5,000 coupon to a $30,000 a year school.

So, without telling anyone, Dave Grohl brought his giant smoker and cooked/fed barbecue and sides for 500 folks at Hope Mission in L.A. during the storms. Paid for it all. Worked 16 hours. So, when the aliens get here and ask “who’s in charge?”, I think we take them to Dave Grohl.
