"Be Prepared" is the Scout motto coined by Robert Baden-Powell (22 Feb 1857 – 8 Jan 1941), the British Army officer who founded the Scout movement in 1907 with his book 'Scouting for Boys'.

"Know deep in your heart that any joy you want out of life is irrelevant to maintaining a permanent state of readiness."

"When you realize that your responsibility as a scout only extends to your betters, and never to yourself, you understand the full Christian meaning of what it is to Be Prepared." "Now go tie some knots or wrestle or some shit."

"Be Prepared" is the Scout motto coined by Robert Baden-Powell (22 Feb 1857 – 8 Jan 1941), the British Army officer who founded the Scout movement in 1907 with his book 'Scouting for Boys'.

Later, he would add, "When your parents die -- and they will, no surprise there -- you must efficiently organize their affairs and swiftly execute their last wishes for their estate without any regard for your feelings or state of mind."

"And when your elderly wife trips and falls on your evening walk on a pleasant September evening, you will be responsible for the ambulance ride and thousands in medical bills. Start saving now."

He defined it the phrase as being "always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty," and more specifically, "a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise."

All Mamdani has to say is “I’d appreciate it if he shows up sober” and leave it at that

Anjali Dayal@anjalikdayal.bsky.social

This is somehow still going, and it’s not just a few random families now; it’s also a former mayor of NYC and governor of New York. There is, again, no way to reason to argue Mamdani shouldn’t attend this commemoration that isn’t fundamentally bigoted

Groggily, you wake up, opening your eyes to see sunlight on spring leaves. You blink and stretch the young muscles of a spotted fawn. “Data centers”? “Explosive diarrhea”? The memories fade quickly, it was all a dream. Your mother licks your brow affectionately. Oh look, jewelweed, your favorite.

"There's all this stuff that's working, and it's impossible to pay attention to, because we're not scared of things that work," is a killer line that says so much about why Americans voted to break everything.

Here’s an American Problem: The company I work for is doing some kind of jiggery-pokery with the corporate entity that … I don’t know, envelops the company, and it means that I got a notice in the mail that my health insurance was cancelled as of March 31.

I don’t HAVE to have anxiety about this! We could live in a country where some kind of weird LLC to C-Corp paperwork filing doesn’t result in a letter saying “we’re cancelling your health insurance.” The money to do it was always there!

I have appointments this week! The kind check-in person will nod sagely, having seen this a million times. “It’s OK, we’ll bill you later.” Ha ha, “best system in the world,” right? Ha ha.

I know everything’s going to be OK! I’m probably going to get new insurance cards in tomorrow’s mail, effective April 1. But the fact that I have to say “probably” in that sentence IS THE PROBLEM.

I'm old enough to remember Governor Swarzenegger's term, and how very little a Republican governor can expect to accomplish in California. The legislature is powerful here, and so are the unions. I think his most significant legislative victory was repealing a vehicle license fee increase.
