  1. I know from experience here in #Nashville , #Tennessee - the ‘Buckle of the #Bible Belt’ - that the #MAGA personality cult of #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump has drawn hordes of *fake* #Christians into churches of all denominations. Yes, some more than others.

    A new national survey by Wheaton College reveals that this has had the effect of turning #GenZ *away* from organized #religion (different kind of cult?). tennessean.com/story/news/reli

  4. Weijia Jiang: "The Hilton hotel donated the roughly 2,600 dinners that went unserved at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner (due to the shooting). They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to two shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances."

  12. @web_goddess In keeping with the theme of the week, my team lost. At least this time it wasn’t to racist, troglodytic insurrectionists. #silverlinings

  14. Whoopsie. I opened the wrong app, and it said that I needed to update that app. So, I guess it was a fortuitous mistake.

  15. Daily Inspiration: "Disappointment is a necessary exercise designed to strengthen your resilience" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    There is never any progress without disappointment along the way!

    You'll never achieve anything if you never encounter a few hurdles in your path. As soon as you get your hopes up, you should always be in the right mindset to bounce back quickly in case those hopes are dashed!

    Right about now, at the very moment I am writing this post, I should have been on this plane going over Europe.

    I'm not.

    Instead, I'm sitting on my deck at home, writing this post.

    The backstory? I was set to keynote a major conference, and as things sometimes go, it was canceled at the very last minute. I mean, very last minute! That's actually kind of ironic because one of the slides in my deck references the idea that 'volatility is the new normal, uncertainty is our new reality, and resilience is our new agility.' Without going into any details, and after a Zoom conversation with the client, I certainly understand this unique situation and the reasons for the fast turn of events.

    Even so, I'm pretty disappointed that my role in the event is not going ahead, but I've also learned how to take these types of things in stride and roll with the flow.

    Here's what I have learned -> see the post.

  18. Pro tip: If you're scared of the dentist, just get brain cancer. Works like a charm! Side effects may include nausea, memory loss, and existential dread. But hey, at least you won't mind the drill anymore! #brainCancer #silverLinings
