The best stuff we’ve read in the last 12 months

Most people live their life like this. They build a well and they start to pump water. And at the end of their lives, after a lifetime of pumping, they see they are still thirsty. They spent their whole life pumping rather than drinking, which was the reason they started pumping in the first place. What up, Sam? I wanted to do something a little different today. End of the year. I was doing a little Slack clean out, and I was looking at I had this one channel for, like, the best stuff I read this week. I call it my content diet channel. It's basically, what were the vegetables? What were my whole foods that I consumed? Because I consume a lot of junk, but this stuff was actually good. And I was just kinda browsing through what really stood out or resonated with me, and I have a couple. I don't know. I want and I wanted to know yours because you read a lot more than me, and I think we read totally different things. So I I'm curious if anything comes to mind for you on that topic. Yes.

There's only been four presidents that have been successfully assassinated, and three of them happened between, like, 1865 and, like, nineteen o five. And, like, pretty much up until Andrew Garfield was assassinated, which I think was, like, around nineteen o four, Any human, any American, it was, like, customary. You can just go to the White House and schedule an appointment with the president. And the idea here was that they were supposed to be, like, a man of the people, and I think that's ridiculous. And the Secret Service, even up up till 1963, 6465 when JFK was shot, it was only, like, 300 people. And so, like, basically, it was nonexistence. And so I'm, like, obsessed with that, about how, like, something became an institution even after four years or sorry. Four deaths happened. And so I've been obsessed with that. I've also been obsessed with leadership and …
