Can't sum up America better than this right now.
There are now over 10,000 COMMENTS on this post. Take a wild guess how many are from MAGA voters calling me “evil,” “disturbed,” and “unpatriotic” for supporting the teaching of ARABIC NUMERALS to American children. Yes, folks. Numbers. The same numbers their kids learn in kindergarten. The outrage is absolutely spectacular. Imagine being so blinded by your prejudice that you accidentally declare war on basic arithmetic. They saw the word “Arabic,” and apparently every brain cell responsible for critical thinking clocked out for the day. And the best part? They're still arguing in the comments.

Drove all the way to my local polling place and there was literally nowhere on my ballot to vote against a 24 team College Football Playoff and a 76 team NCAA Basketball Tournament. Had to write it all in

Another night of @MLB World Series action and another night of a former @TinCaps player dominating and showing the world how great they are. Congratulations Robert Gasser! TinCaps fans watched him star @ParkviewField before his World Series success!
Robert Gasser is the first lefty to face the minimum through six innings in a World Series game since SANDY KOUFAX in 1965

Gold.
Just wrapped a 1:1 that reminded me why I do this. My son had a baseball game today. I missed it. Not because I don’t love him—I do. Deeply. But because this meeting wasn’t just a meeting. It was a chance to realign on Q4 priorities, surface blockers early, and co-create a path forward with my manager. Showing up for your team (even virtually) when it counts is how you build the kind of trust that compounds. My kid will have hundreds of games. This specific conversation only happens once. Leadership isn’t about being everywhere. It’s about being fully present where the highest-leverage work is happening. Sometimes that means choosing the calendar invite over the bleachers. Who agrees? #Leadership #Priorities #GrowthMindset #WorkLifeIntegration #TeamFirst

Most pressure packed strike in baseball history. Amazing.

I am here to tell you that you don't have to accept their "feels like" temperature. It's not up to them. If it feels like one billion degrees to you, that's the feels like temperature.
