Random Observation – The Speed of Life
Time feels faster as you grow older because your brain tends to record fewer new experiences. Novelty slows time, routines speed it up.

Random Note — Charlie Kirk Murder
Trump and the FCC need to start pulling broadcasts licenses and charging media talking heads and political pundits and some politicians with inciting violence and stochastic terrorism. The media are trying to provoke the very dictatorial crackdown they accused Trump...
Random Note — Charlie Kirk
