The Root: Robert Mueller Wrote a ‘Bish, What?’ Letter to the Attorney General After Barr Remixed the Special Counsel’s Report
by Confluenceby ConfluenceReading Time: 4 minutes Mueller punted. That’s the takeaway here. Mueller could’ve concluded that that the president did or didn’t commit obstruction of justice. The report he created described at least 10 significant episodes of possible obstruction of justice. But Mueller, who we already know knows how to work a phone because he surely called Barr to complain about his four-page summation, couldn’t call someone to ask if he had to adhere to a long-standing Justice Department policy that says a sitting president cannot be indicted and for that reason, here we are. Mueller punted and Fred Flintstone Face ran it back for a touchdown.

Live Kindly: EATING VEGAN IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE, SAYS LARGEST-EVER FOOD PRODUCTION ANALYSIS
by Confluenceby ConfluenceReading Time: 3 minutes The research showed that while 80 percent of the globe’s total farmland is used to rear livestock, this produces just 18 percent of total food calories and 35 percent of protein. It also accounts for 58 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, 57 percent of water pollution, and 56 percent of air pollution.
Reading Time: 4 minutes Really bold courageous people know that there is very little risk in failing because they’ve got a lot of experience with it. When they take on something new, they do it knowing that “failing” is an option but that potential failure isn’t really a cause for concern. It’s not a preferred outcome, but if they fail, it’s a temporary event, not a defining moment.
Luck tends to favor the bold and nothing makes us more risk-tolerant than a string of failures.

The Root: Arya Stark Forces Night King to Drop Out of Presidential Race
by Confluenceby ConfluenceReading Time: 5 minutes The hero of the evening was definitely Arya Stark, who gave a brief press conference, echoing the National Rapier Association’s (NRA) motto: “The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a sword is the ‘baddest chick’ with a tiny sword.”
“They had us in the first half, I’m not gonna lie,” said Arya. “But I knew that Theon’s bitch ass wasn’t going to be able to protect my brother. Plus, the Night King always has that look in his eyes like he knows he’s the shit…Like I won’t pull up. But I’m Arya Stark. He must not know my daddy. Y’all know how we do.”
Reporters asked Arya if she planned to spend some time with her family after losing so many people. But as she walked away from the podium, she looked at Gendry, pulled him toward her bedroom, smiled, turned and said:
“Not today.”
Reading Time: 5 minutes Saturn gives us drive and a sense of purpose, solidly based in a foundation of logistical mastery, all of which provide fuel to help us move forward and make our own unique mission real. And that’s crucial for self-actualisation, individuation, and living an authentic life.
