I know language is fluid and I try not to be overly prescriptivist, but I am never going to be able to accept “learnings” as a valid noun. I’ve tried, but I just can’t, and I need to accept that about myself.

Being in an in interview is a powerful opportunity to provoke deeper reflection - beyond but not limited to the 'data' - about what it is that you're trying to understand and even change about the world.

Trump returned to courtroom accompanied by Eric, Lara Trump, + rest of entourage.

Back in overflow, the rules are as strict as ever—even Chris Hayes

"Press credentials?" a court officer demands, as another reporter gives a good natured, "You sure you're a member of the press, Chris?"

Cloud Brightening Study in California Is Halted by Local Officials
Researchers had been testing a sprayer that could one day be used to push a salty mist skyward, cooling the Earth. Officials stopped the work, citing health questions.

The experiment, conducted by researchers from the University of Washington, involved spraying tiny sea-salt particles across the flight deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Hornet, docked in Alameda

I've been thinking about this old Heart video I just saw the other day.

The band seems tired and isn't really rocking out, but Ann Wilson's vocal is just unbelievable. She's kind of low key in vibe but opens her mouth and just wow.

I've heard this song a zillion and one times, and am a bit tired of it to say the least but this really moved me.

Apple keynote first thoughts:

A big new iPad Pro with the new keyboard would be great but I checked and it’s $1848 which is $500+ more than a new 15” MacBook Air, and I didn’t see any mention of MagSafe charging being added to iPads.

If Apple made a home dock wireless charger/holder like the Google tablets have, I’d buy one for the kitchen counter as a family Apple Home controller/recipe lookup screen that is always charged and ready to play tv/movies when undocked.
