@Sneketoshi I like the clothes line. It reminds me of my mom.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

@kekius9 I feel for the young one.

@InterestingSTEM That proves nothing without knowing what the setup is. I won't understand it but speaking for the smart people..

@japan_nobunaga It used to be, "God bless you." Your body is trying to rid you of dust or a possible disease. May God bless you and keep you well is the sentiment. These days there is an added touch of fear post covid.

My nose tingled, a familiar warning. A sneeze escaped me, and before its echo faded, three voices offered a blessing. "Bless you." From the left, a man comparing drills. "Bless you." From the right, a woman with paint cans. "Bless ya, big guy." From somewhere I could not even SEE. In my land, a sneeze is a private failure. You suppress it, apologize to it, and carry on in shame. Here, a sneeze is a flare fired over the aisle, and the entire nation is on standby to answer it. I asked the drill man if we knew each other. "Nope." "Yet you blessed me." "You sneezed, man." The logic was airtight and I had no response. You sneeze, you are blessed. Cause, effect. A spiritual reflex installed in three hundred million people, triggered faster than thought. I tested it. Not on purpose. The dust of the lumber aisle tested it for me. Sneeze — "bless you" — sneeze — "bless you again" — sneeze — "you good?" You good. The third sneeze downgrades you from blessed to monitored. There are rules, and nobody wrote them down. I began carrying the duty myself. A woman sneezed by the fasteners. "BLESS YOU," I said, with the full weight of my lineage. Too loud. I startled her into a second sneeze. I blessed that one quieter. We found our peace. A blessing here does not check your name. It is in the air before your sneeze has landed. I practice my draw daily. Yesterday I blessed a man through a closed window. He could not hear me. The blessing counts. I have decided it counts.

@MarsUniversityX Put a little time into it.

The Japanese show respect wherever they visit. Cleaning the stadium enforces their belief in servant leadership. Thats Japanese discipline. “A bird that flies never leaves a trace.” Respect where you are, so they respect where you are going. Beautiful

@ThatEricAlper Break time. Go for a walk together or alone.

@Murk441 Putting up a sign for drivers is odd. On a customers receipt, there's a 'delivery fee' charge. I think most people think that delivery fee goes to the driver. It doesn't.

What are your thoughts on this?

@KAF_KellyAF @pubity But I just saw a post about people there caring for the elderly. I thought there was much respect for the elders there and they kept them close at home, but the post seemed to suggest some elders were in care centers.

@MucklesF @pubity I saw a clip once of elementary school kids cleaning up their classroom everyday. It's just natural for them. They also have great respect for their elderly. We could take a few hints! LOL

Japanese fans at the 2026 World Cup all received complimentary trash bags and stayed behind after the game to clean the stadium.

@Juezcentral Wouldn't it be lovely if everyone was this considerate?

La FIFA preguntó a una japonesa que por qué recogen la basura en todos los estadios a los que asisten. Ella lo explicó: "Es nuestra cultura. Pero también es una señal de respeto hacia el país y estadio que nos acoge y hacia nuestros jugadores. Para nosotros es un honor que nos reciban aquí y no podríamos dejar todo hecho un desastre".

@KAF_KellyAF @pubity This is so nice.

@MucklesF @pubity It's their culture. They're respectful and very clean.

@WallStreetApes Maybe it's time to remove investors from congress and only allow non-investors to run in elections. Politicians are just too worried about their stocks value going down to actually vote 'for the people'. I understand the fear but regular people can't survive here anymore.

While Americans are being crushed with taxes, property taxes and the cost of living, New Jersey is discussing what to make “The state nut” They costs taxpayer $10,000 to write this bill to make a state nut Assemblyman Brian Bergen “Holy cow, man. I can't even believe we're about to talk about making a state nut — It cost $10,000 to write this bill. So we just paid $10,000 to make a state nut — the bill's moronic” - New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the US - 14% higher cost of living than the national average - Top income tax at 14.75% But leaders are worried about making a state nut…. New Jersey is currently run by Democrats with a full Democratic trifecta control

@Enezator Good song.

@MarsUniversityX Does anyone know if there is a monthly subscription fee after purchasing a robot? Does it spy on its owner and get reported to the government? They always seem to find a way to get money out of everything new that comes out.
