I highlighted so much of Coming of Age At The Dawn of The Social Internet. I’m a little older than the author, but their experience was largely mine. Their awareness mirrors mine. There were so many great quotes I could share, but best to just read the article. It’s terrific.

A new personal favorite. If you’re a fan of minimalistic, human-curated link sites, this will be your jam. You may also like The Brutalist Report.

This brutally honest account of homelessness in America was a tough read. I think about the fact that so many people live paycheck to paycheck and are stretched so thin. And I’m referring to the people you think are just fine. I can’t help but think there’s something big happening in America and I think it’s only going to get much worse. I’m generally an optimistic person, but I haven’t stopped thinking about how we had a chance when the pandemic hit and we blew it. We failed the test.

From Richard Feynman’s 1974 commencement address at CalTech. It’s pretty amazing how relevant this still is, perhaps even more so!
