My Vipassana meditation is obviously not stopping my compulsion to OCD check the social web and my RSS feed for the latest details about unfolding current events.My Vipassana meditation is obviously not stopping my compulsion to OCD check the social web and my RSS feed for the latest details about unfolding current events. It’s not stopping my mind from racing on the subject more often than I’d like too. It is definitely keeping me from freaking out about it though. It’s letting me channel the frenetic activity I haven’t gotten under control into FU energy and find ways to help fight it. #meditation #uspoli -

I don't know much about Canadian politics, but do the tarrifs mean the Canadian right is in a bit of a bind?@thomholwerda Apparently the popularity of the Conservative and Liberal parties has flipped over the last two weeks.

Working on a #desktop application is fun till you have to make some random placeholder #icon for it. -
This is the man who is effectively controlling the Treasury Department, payments disbursed by it, infiltrating systems at the State Department, etc.@jaredwhite And it is having its intended effects. You can see it in the comments to the Tweet. -
