Not in Agreement
Quit coming into agreement with the devil. Yep, I said it. I know you may be thinking that you have never come into agreement with anything the enemy has said or done, but it is much easier to do than you may think. I am sure if the devil himself walked up to you with a written contract for you to sign you wouldn’t do it, but what happens when that contract isn’t in black in white but in the thoughts of your mind and the fears in your heart?
Now is a good time for Ayn Rand’s ‘Money Speech’
Capitalism has done more to lift people en masse out of poverty and to enhance the lives of all of us than anything else has. DSA wants to destroy it. Even conservative Sen. Ted Cruz wants to let the government intervene with the NIL money paid to college football players. He shouldn’t; government never makes things better than unfettered capitalism. We’ve come a long way: Ole Miss is paying QB Trinidad Chambliss $5 million. Money motivates. What else could make a black man fight on the side of the Rebels?
September is suicide prevention month
September is recognized as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time devoted to recognizing suicide as the public health issue it is, raising awareness and advocating for prevention. September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day, an international observance dedicated to encouraging open conversations about suicide and suicidal ideation. Talking openly about suicide can reduce stigma, encourage those struggling to reach out and potentially save lives.
Who’s gonna fill Dolly’s shoes?
Two weeks ago, I asked if there are any celebrities who inspire people like Dolly Parton did. Could anyone else elicit such an outpouring of love? Today, I’ll share your thoughts, and mine. Dolly is a tough act to follow. Her record of kindness and generosity may be impossible to replicate. According to the New York Times, seventy percent of Americans expressed a favorable view of Dolly in a Umass/YouGov poll in March 2026, the highest approval rate for any living person. I’d like to have a word with the other thirty percent, who probably also frown on puppies, homegrown tomatoes, and a cool summer breeze.
Turn AI savings into mentor time
Tullahoma- area employers already have a strong workforce model close at hand. Motlow State’s apprenticeship program combines paid work, instruction, mentorship, and industry credentials, with current funding support for manufacturing, IT, and related positions. That same logic should guide AI adoption. Stanford’s August 12 payroll update finds that employment among U.S. workers ages 22–25 in highly AI-exposed occupations is about 19% below where it would be if it had kept pace with similarly aged workers in less-exposed occupations. The gap is showing up mainly through reduced hiring.
‘Charlie’s Angels’: Has it really been 50 years?
Linda Lavin’s “Alice” and Jack Klugman’s “Quincy, M.E.” were among the handful of TV shows introduced in the autumn of 1976 that had “legs” (i.e. lasted more than a single season). But one series REALLY had legs, if you know what I mean. I mean “Charlie’s Angels,” of course.
