Anybody headed to Maryland in October.....Tom Morello (formerly of Rage Against the Machine) is escalating his activism by organizing the "Power to the People Festival," a major anti-Trump event scheduled for October 3, 2026, in Columbia, Maryland. The festival features a high-profile lineup including Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, and Joan Baez, designed to counter the Trump administration's "Great American State Fair.

For most of my career, I opened my laptop and just started moving.

Email first. Then again, ten minutes later. A task list to scan, a few small things to knock out. Two hours would pass, and I'd have the feeling of momentum without a single real decision. I was performing in the morning, not thinking it.

That pattern came with us to Panama. The address changed. The habit didn't.

A few years ago, I started doing one thing differently. Before I open anything else, I type one question into Claude: "Based on what you know about me, what traits do I need to embrace today to become the man I need to become to live my best life?"

What comes back isn't generic. It's calibrated to what's actually happening. Some mornings it names patience. Some mornings, courage. Sometimes it says: talk to your wife about the thing you've been carrying.

Five minutes. Before email. Before anything. The whole post is here:

The Morning Prompt That Changed How I Think A daily question about who you're trying to be

Four months before we moved to Panama, my wife and I sat in the living room and tried to name everything we wanted to take with us.

We came up with fifteen things.

Fifteen. After decades in the same house, four bedrooms, a garage, an attic, and closets we hadn't opened in years. When we actually tried to name what mattered, that's what we got.

That afternoon quietly changed how I think about owning anything.

My latest post is about what happened next: the move, the four suitcases, and the box that arrived from the States as a balled-up tape mess with half its contents stolen. We sat with it, then made another list of everything we could remember that was missing. Same result. We couldn't name most of it.

If you've ever wondered whether you actually need what you own, this one might give you an answer you weren't expecting.

The Panama Edit: What We Kept, What We Left Behind We tried to list everything we'd miss. We came up with fifteen things.
