July 26 marked 10 years of sobriety for me. I wrote a Daily Inspiration from 2016, every workday, to manage my mind. Many were hidden messages about my journey. I'm not hiding anymore. I shared the reasons why in my post, July 27. Read it here: jimcarroll.com/2026/07/dail... #sober #sobriety
I totally nailed 2026 in 2017. Like, completely nailed it. jimcarroll.com/2017/05/tren...
@daringfireball.bsky.social So Tim Cook shows at The Monsters Dinner / Film Screening last night. Dude can't fall any further down the suck-up club. I'm hoping Gavin Newsom has some kneecaps for him. He's sucking hard. Hell of a way to destroy a once great legacy.
Why does he always look like he's straight out of casting for Dumb and Dumber?
KERNEN: When people think of who would be the least independent of the Trump administration, they think of you HASSETT: I just totally reject that. Right now, my job is to be at the White House and serve the president every day.
@daringfireball.bsky.social Sending thoughts your way and that in time, everything works out.

Megatrend #30 - The Acceleration Paradox: "As change accelerates exponentially, our challenge is to steer this incredible power toward a more humane and hopeful future, rather than increasing the destructive impacts we've seen so far!" - Futurist Jim Carroll jimcarroll.com/2025/08/deco...
In 2017, I made 10 predictions about the decline of the US. Turns out, I was right on 9 out of 10 of them. I might still be proven right on the 10th. Read my original post, and read the 2025 rankings. It's pretty sad! jimcarroll.com/2025/08/what...
The Chase for Authenticity: "Celebrate your flaws and highlight your mistakes - because one day soon, they will become your key currency for success!" - Futurist Jim Carroll jimcarroll.com/2025/08/deco...
I pretty much nailed today back in 2017 in my post, "What Comes Next with the Decline of an Empire." TROTW ("The Rest of the World") now has to move to the next step, figuring out what to do as the US becomes an unstable, rogue nation in the next decade. jimcarroll.com/2017/05/tren...
