Listening to @NPR’s coverage of elections discussing the unpopularity of both the Ds and the Rs… curiously no mention of who the alternative choices might be.

Kicking the tires on an Aksum from Foundation. Salty notes on the cold draw. Smokes peppery but not too heavy. #cigars #cigarlife

Watch this clip, have a laugh at my expense, then do something useful with that little twinge of concern. Change a reused password. Turn on multifactor authentication. Freeze your credit. You deserve a say in how your story ends. #Cybersecurity #IdentityTheft #CyberAwareness

How is advocating for voting independent reckless -- unless you see it as a threat to your own position? Mayor Ortiz's comments are more reckless than a citizen's suggestion that another exercise their right to vote for a candidate that reflects their values. h/u @nickgillespie

In only one democratic country in the world do everyday people feel like they have a say in their own government: Switzerland Meanwhile, the USA is at the bottom of the list and France is on fire. What is it that the Swiss know that we have forgotten? citizensrisingusa.substack.c…

'How's that unwasted vote working out for you?' asks @McConaughey. When @MattWelch and I wrote Declaration of Independents 15 years ago, independents comprised 40 percent of the electorate. That percentage is now 45 percent. Our book is more relevant! amazon.com/Declaration-Indep…

“Social media backlash” is always suspicious. Especially if you heard the message. McConaughey and I likely don’t agree on many things politically, but if we were to find ourselves on adjacent bar stools, I suspect we’d be able to have a respectful and spirited discussion.

'They want you to believe that Claire's went bankrupt because teens stopped shopping at the mall,' says @SenWarren. In fact, there were 25,000 malls in US in 1986 and just 1,200 in 2023. Read 'Be Prepared for @ewarren's Reign of Economic Error' at @reason reason.com/2026/10/19/be-pre…

Be prepared for Elizabeth Warren's reign of economic error

The progressive Democrat, whose party may take control of the Senate, is sounding alarms over consolidation in the hot sauce business.

One thing I love about selling #cigars is when I learn what the customer’s taste is and make a recommendation that turns into a regular smoke. Terra Nova is one I like and have turned a few folks onto. #cigarlife

B2B data flows are tangled enough. Manual Snowflake staging across S3, Azure & Google Cloud adds more complexity. Diplomat MFT automates secure file transfers to Snowflake, reducing the need for scripts and troubleshooting to untangle. zurl.co/jLiE5 #Snowflake #MFT

Yaya Bagula is an excellent sleeper. Earthy flavor with peppery notes. Under-appreciated smoke at a price that is easy to take. #cigars #cigarlife
